It can be. I often find it “bursty.” I’ve had months at a time when I had stand-ups and then “do whatever you want” for the rest of the day. I generally did do useful work, but there were plently of days when I was just chilling out.

Ive also had months where I ran from fire to fire while on fire, spreading even more fire. Also, there was fire.

It juat depends. If some org treats you as disposable, pays like shit and lights your hair on fire as you walk in, y’all should walk back out. The next org will probally treat you better, because there are good orgs out there. Even the good places get busy for a bit though. Just make sure that busy comes with money and that it ends at some point.

They announced it at summer game fest a couple of days ago, then announced it would be released in 24 hrs.

Bit of a double whammy, but a well received one.

So still ignoring the current 3000/yr teen car deaths completly for a “ebikes may be the real danger” comment? Okay then.

Your saying a lithium car fire, one of the hardest to put out fires, will not cause any building to burn down, anywhere? Because all parking garages are structurally designed to withstand that style of fire at the base of their building?

So your retort to the statistics of thousands of yearly teen deaths to cars is “someday, an ebike may kill someone. What then, huh?”

You know electric car batteries also smoke off in rare cases too, right? That they are often parked in buildings and may also eventually burn a building down?

300 billion across the EU.

The 15-50% is apprently women who have some sensitivity to different color bands, but not full terrachromacy. That condition has only been identified once according to wikipedia. Id expect in men with XXY chromosomes, for it to still be stunningly rare, if even present at all.

Its fully possible that the above sum is the number of men with some enhanced color depth, but even then in a population of 4 billion, 1-4 million is a very small number.

“Death of the author” serves us all again.

Exclusive to women, as it’s a rare mutation that requires two X chromosomes.

There could be a rare, rare case of someone with XXY chromosomes also getting it, but that would be two very rare human conditions hitting at once.

A 1:1 mix of White vinegar and water is an ancient and cheap cleaner. The smell doesn’t linger long at the correct dilution and it kills a whole bunch of things.

“Please god come throw your body in the pile we use to fill up the holes. We are very nearly out of unwitting flesh here.”

How much profit is Redis or Hashicorp kicking back to the people the contributed to it when it was FOSS? It’s just “Fair code” now to allow its “creators” to profit, right?

He didnt found paypal, his company was merged with another one that became paypal. He was the CEO of PayPal early on, but was so universally disliked he was booted after 6 months.

He then took his Paypal money and did invest it in a fledgling startup named Tesla that had a working prototype of an electric sports car based on a Lotus frame. He later sued the actual founders so that he could claim he was a founder.

SpaceX is there because he had money to fund it and to entice Gwynne Shotwell, a renowed name in aeronautics, to his new space startup. Shes run it the entire time.

Musk is a “money guy” who lies a lot and has had some lucky hires. Hes a pitch man who has lived his entire life with a silver spoon in his mouth, which makes it easy to gamble on high risk projects.

Dont buy the hype hes selling.

Stardates should be a standard calendar at least amongst themselves.

Lina, the FTC chair, is a stone cold anti monopolist motherfucker. She may be the best appointment the Biden admin has made, and has been non stop kicking corporate ass. The FTC isn’t winning them all, but they are actually trying to.

I dont think they will be swayed.

Rust is wildly fast. Learning that it is being used for a program is good to know if you care about speed. If you read the article, it even addresses your exact critiques:

Moreover, Rust has demonstrated superior performance compared to JavaScript add-ons, resulting in a quicker and more responsive Thunderbird. Furthermore, the integration of Rust into Thunderbird will be facilitated by the fact that it is already utilized in Firefox, enabling Thunderbird to leverage existing infrastructure for testing and continuous integration.

So not only with thunderbird be faster because Rust is faster than JavaScript, but it eliminates 3rd party addons by being native which also further increases speed. Lastly, development time for new features and improvements is faster because they can now use using the mature tooling that Mozilla has for Rust.

So yeah, good to know its using Rust now.

Hopefully using tmux resurrect so that they just have persistent sessions at hand.

I can see it as a way to know that “17” is htop to high importance server X, 23 is pinging Server Y, etc.

Looks like Kanye and Kim Kardashian, both known for being “fashion forward.”

Must be a pic from a few years ago, as they divorced after he went full nazi.

Immensely. Its extremely versatile and robust at this point.

If youre just using it as a media center computer go with libreelec, which is an OS that boots directly into kodi. The intergration is deep and excellent.
