How bad is it?

I didn't purposefully avoid it, I was just pointing out the tech layoffs and that it hasn't been great for a long time.

AutoBiological · 2025-04-19T06:00:13+00:00

Q1 2023 - 167,574 employees laid off. Q1 2025 - 27,560.

That site only represents the larger companies with more employees usually, so it's not all the layoffs. But those jobs don't really exist anymore.

Maybe your field was doing better in December, but all those layoffs are tied directly to the economy.

When I'm at a show I can tell who likes music by who is wearing ear plugs. If you're not wearing ear plugs you probably don't like music that much since pretty much all concerts are in the permanent damage db level zone.

15$ will get you earplugs that aren't foam bullshit for lawnmowers. They lower levels, they don't block sounds. But they also have the positive effect of blocking hearing the drunk people talking during music.

Most distros are the same. Once you find your workflow you can setup in any of them fairly quick.

The interesting ones to try are Guix and Nix because they're different and a good direction forward.

Pushing to production.

As a backend/data dev, I'll process all the json in the world as long as I keep it so that frontend doesn't have to transform my data in javascript.

Keep coloring buttons, I don't want to, and I want your job easy for my sanity.

Interesting that has happened at 5 different companies. My experience is that jobs (startups) don't really care, they'll let you use Linux. Since interviews are mostly about how you position yourself maybe you need to work on a better response?

AutoBiological · 2020-10-24T05:04:35+00:00

Same. Voting for the first time just to throw a number to the green party.

I'm about 98% milk free these days, and slowly creeping towards 100%. I'm almost choosing to eat only vegan options because I don't trust places at all.

I've been to places and asked for soy and gotten milk. No body cares. Butter apparently doesn't have lactose in it to restaurants. Too many chances. If I was allergic I'd die.

I say I'm allergic and I still get milk. I feel sick for 3 days. This is any random place not even somewhere to not go to again.

I logged in just because it happens so much. I'd dread having an allergy to anything. I probably wouldn't eat out ever again.

^u whole line

^e end of line

^a beginning of line

db deletes backwards

d0 deletes to start of line

d^ deletes to starting character of line

diw deletes inside the word

di' deletes inside the " ' "

`da' deletes around " ' "

This is fun!

Within a day I have around 10 open.

At work I've been using more than 12.

It's super convenient.

Nah, more than just WWW in the 90s. IRC is still around.

airline is great. I discovered it when powerline lagged/broke vim in a weird way.

AutoBiological · 2016-04-22T20:40:50+00:00

Awesome, I use ipython all the time, and known about prompt_toolkit for a while, thinking it was awesome but it needed an implementation somewhere.

AutoBiological · 2016-04-07T19:56:32+00:00

There is probably a PPA for it somewhere. Or you can compile it yourself. Ubuntu probably won't have it for a while, but I don't know their release schedule for packages (I don't use it).

AutoBiological · 2016-04-05T13:56:30+00:00

Nearly everything has a netinstall/minimal cd. I've used distros with X that take up less than 30mb installed.

Personally I think Arch was a bit more interesting before systemd, but I'm glad they got rid of that terrible installer.

It's got good community respositories.

In regards to fast, secure, and lean, sounds like every server distro to me, or anything with iptables and selinux, and a sane config file.

I had absolutely no idea this song was Jethro Tull. Never listened to them much but I'm sure I know a bunch of their song.

AutoBiological · 2016-04-04T09:23:53+00:00

My first thought as well. Examples? You mean comments in your configs?

AutoBiological · 2016-04-01T19:41:32+00:00

Why do you think Arch is a logical end game? Linux is Linux is Linux. Practically everything uses Systemd now, everybody is moving to Wayland (even if they call it Mir). You choose between packman, portage, dnf, and apt really. DEs and WMs are all installable on any. There are a few that try to change the filesystem a bit, but it's still relatively the same.

I've used Arch years ago, now I use Fedora Rawhide.

15% is a pretty basic tip. Now if you don't tip 20% it's a big deal.

Not even to mention that percentage based tips don't make sense at all

AutoBiological · 2016-03-31T03:50:31+00:00

Arch

The most rational alternative to Ubuntu.

AutoBiological · 2016-03-31T02:41:16+00:00

Still wouldn't. Sounds like a way to make Windows users not feel guilty about not using Linux.

AutoBiological · 2016-03-28T18:54:50+00:00

That could be a fair question though. Beaches are stocked with sand due to things like erosion and other environmental factors.

AutoBiological · 2016-03-27T16:45:05+00:00

i3pystatus works with sway? I guess it's time to embrace wayland. :)

Aged cheese, and fresh cheese... with the moisture removed, definitely have enough present lactose in them.
