I started cooking, period. My wife used to cook, now I do. It’s weird, but the pandemic totally flipped our roles.

This is what I’ve done on my last 2 cars. First was a Leaf that I leased dirt cheap. The second was a used Tesla at more than 1/2 off. I’m looking at a truck now and finding amazing deals on the '23 F150 lightnings. I’d prefer a Rivian and I’m not quite ready to let my Tesla go, but soooooon.
Someday, the deals will be harder to find, but for now take advantage!
Not in any order of magnitude
I have to look it up every time, but this is always worth reading once a year to remind yourself:
You don’t have to host only office to use the client. As others noted, it doesn’t do anything to combat non open standards, but it does work.
Check out Onlyoffice. Just the client (not the server part)
WAY better
Reinventing the wheel is exactly why we should use open source libraries.
Expanding on other unintended outcome here: Different projects have different values. This takes no account for something like Spring vs Apache Commons IO. Or Rails vs nokogiri.
Libraries will be incentivized into breaking apart to maximize revenue.
This isn’t really unlike the unintended consequences of health insurance and how it leads to overpriced services with lots of indecipherable codes for service.
It’s about how the system rewards (pays) for the service. I’m all for supporting open source, but the proposals in this thread are disturbingly anti open source.
This wouldn’t work for a few reasons, but the most glaring is that it would incentive re inventing the wheel.
I think you meant YAGNI, but I dunno, YOLO might be a legit strategy for you too ;)
Plus shit like Maven and Gradle leave nothing to the imagination.
Isn’t it wonderful?!
Embrace boring software development practices. You’ll get good rest on the weekends and have a long and productive career.
I can’t stop laughing at this. Thank you!
I wanted to downvote, but then I read it. While I don’t accept the premise entirely, I think the points are very well made and thought out well (even if taken to the extreme).
I’m saying that the writers comparing what they deserve to a whole company’s revenue isn’t applicable. Comparing Disney plus revenue is applicable, but they didn’t do that. Likewise with others like Apple, Amazon (seriously???), Sony , etc (minus pure streaming companies like Netflix)
I’m sure they’re not biased at all /s
Those numbers are not even close to accurate unless you think that the revenue of the Disney parks should pay for D+ writers, etc. Don’t get me wrong, the writers strike has real value to the writers, but showing cherry picked numbers that aren’t pertinent to the issue doesn’t help.
If I teach a class that needs a vm, I’m making damned sure everyone uses the same type.
I’m pretty sure killing is a worse way to ruin someone’s life.
10k every 10 years vs ? a new car every 10 years?
Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good. I’m not suggesting we’re don’t have a really high bar, but 100% is just unreasonable.
Be ready to deal with a backup plan. Consumer services like Backblaze don’t work with Linux.
I have opted into backing my data up to a local network NAS machine which in-turn backs all of its data up to a StorJ backed s3:// compatible endpoint which is very inexpensive.
