It was a good answer anyway

That's funny, I dislike Ruby for probably the same reasons you like it. I don't want a language that's clever or elegant, I want it to do exactly what I say and nothing else. Lower level just makes more sense to me, I'd be a shit & unproductive software engineer.

People love to repeat this but it's not as comforting as you think it is.

Thank you both for warning me against doing something like that.

Any way to read the article without the paywall?

Don't forget waking up hungover, checking the time, and seeing you still have 3 hours to go in a loud metal tube.

They cite grsec, that guy is a notorious troll. I've seen customers apply their patches thoughtlessly, on bad advice, and bring down production systems. Linux security isn't perfect (if it was I would be unemployed) but a lot of those problems are solved on properly configured modern systems.

This is really it. I've been working remote since well before 2020. If my office were 12 minutes away by bike I'd be there every day. Having an entirely separate space dedicated for work is great, actually! Especially if your team is all there too.

But when I first went remote it was 90 minutes by car, and half my team were in other countries. Going remote gave me 15 hours per week of my life back. There's nothing you can do to convince me to give that up again.

Nah, the 25 has a stylus. The 24 didn't. The 26 won't either.

Perchance

The 7.62x51 NATO round used in AR-10/LR-308 pattern rifles isn't the same as the common 7.62x39 used in AK-47 pattern rifles. But I'm sure getting NATO ammo isn't exactly hard for them right now.
