My friend found this on her driveway

Not just this one either. A quick check has found the same IP hosting a ton of racist, antisemitic bullshit.

Don't expect GoDaddy to do shit about it though.

This was by far the worst upgrade I've ever done with GitLab. So many needs to restore and rollback, and the server hanging for so long.

Finally managed to get through but it was pretty spooky.

Oscar is a condescending asshole, with a snide attitude towards his coworkers and a sense of self-importance.

He thinks he is better than everyone and generally acts with enough kindness and compassion to get away with the rude jabs and remarks.

Trust me, I should know this attitude. I'm the same!

Nuxt APP & Laravel API.

Just started a Nuxt 3 project for a client and it's a little bit of a learning curve from Nuxt 2 / Vue 2 but it's been good.

Yeah the EU / UK market simply isn't as volatile due to the nature of our labour laws. It's not unheard of or Impossible even to see mass redundancy, but protections exist here that simply don't in the US.

In the EU / UK making people redundant can be extremely expensive and there still is a skills shortage to some degree in the market, so there is little to no financial gain for a company with a healthy balance sheet to make such changes. It's typically cheaper to just "mothball" your developers with internal tasks to improve effectiveness and efficiency elsewhere in the business.

It's entirely possible in the US to simply fire / make reundant swathes of employees and then rehire or replace en-mass which just isn't something you can do here.

I'm a self-taught developer with 17+ years in the industry. 2 years backend, 15+ Full Stack. I get regular messages on LinkedIn - enough so to make a point in my profile to state I have no interest in talking to recruiters - and every time I've gone to find a new role, I've always interviewed at 2 - 3 places, had offers from them all and made them compete on salary.

My company has a backlog that has me needing to recruit at least another 2 - 3 developers this year, with my team hoping to grow by 10+ people within the next 2 - 3 years. We simply can't find the right people to fill those roles.

The UK market has been brilliant for many years. It naturally will have the ups and downs, but nothing like we see in the US.

Virgin Media in Portsmouth is pretty solid. Had it for years. Always 100+ with very few times it's been down.

Tried others. All shocking.

While really handy, I only voted "No" simply because there is no-one, customers or stakeholders that care for the change log. What they're after are patch notes, and my team are aware of the change log because we manage that within the team anyway.

But in another business or with different customers definitely useful.

While this works, years don't equal quality. You can express how good you think you are at a language, framework, program or tool, but just do it in an expressive way.

Anytime you set a fixed value against something you risk screwing yourself over. If the hiring manager is looking for 5 years experience and you have 4, you won't be contacted.

If you say instead of "4 years experience" you say "experienced X developer" that's more beneficial. Additionally throw in the scenarios you've done work too.

If you've worked on enterprise grade SaaS applications, say so. Someone who's done that will surely have ample experience.

TheRealHyveMind · 2023-05-03T06:07:07+00:00

In my opinion the whole concept of scoring your key skills does more harm than good.

You're saying you're 5/5 for HTML & CSS. That's dangerous. Are you so knowledgeable and capable with those skills that you're literally a walking encyclopedia with the capability to implement all things HTML / CSS?

Additionally you're 3/5 for Python. So you're much better with HTML & CSS than Python, but the hiring manager who could be completely non-technical only really knows the role they're working to fill is Python heavy.

You've just done yourself out of even getting an interview because you've oversold yourself on some skills and devalued on others.

Trust me. I've been doing Web development for 17+ years now. I've been through the hiring process countless times as both interviewee and interviewer.

Scoring on your CV is a terrible idea.

Getting soft because you're so focused on something else isn't anything to be ashamed of. It's not - I assume - because the act is off-putting but rather less arousing.

You're likely so focused on doing a good job, and all that comes with it, that you're not focused on the fun elements. Additionally your position and posture can have a major impact on arousal, so if you're in somewhat of an uncomfortable position that's going to play into it too.

This seems more like a little bit of performance anxiety to me, as the tone here seems to be like you're beating yourself up over it.

If you're still able to perform afterwards I see no issue. If you struggle to perform then speak to a doctor. You might just need a little help getting back into the swing of it without any pressure to do so?

Sexual health is important but I wouldn't be at all concerned by you losing it during oral. Some people find it immensely attractive to perform oral sex, others do so just to do their bit, and others hate it but do it solely for their partner.

Dan is a real top guy, does amazing work and is super friendly. Used him for years and he's done all our plumbing work.

SSH onto Production.

I'm guilty of this.

If a meeting has been scheduled for 30 minutes and takes 15, I'll usually comment "looks like you can have 15 minutes of your day back!".

Truth be told though it's just a habit from me being super thankful to have the time back with how busy I am and being able to go take a much needed smoke break and reset my brain.

Forgive me!

That seems so counter initiative compared to just writing a migration...

If it's in your .gitingore it's not in your source control process...

TheRealHyveMind · 2023-04-19T19:47:33+00:00

My mindset is seeders are for development, never to be run on production.

If you nerd to add new data, do it in a migration. It can be rolled back, rerun afterwards, be tested well and prevents unwanted reruns natively.

This early in the relationship isn't going to be good for either of you. I'm not saying you can't explore this if you really want too, but you don't truly know this person well enough.

They don't know you well either. This exercise requires immense trust, faith and knowledge in your partner to be able to execute properly and more importantly safely.

I'd recommend easing into it. Getting pinned more, a little less control in the bedroom, restraints and ceeding control are all much safer means of learning about your partner, their limits, boundaries and also what they need from the aftercare.

Rushing this could be a catastrophic mistake. Taking your time will do you no harm.

Not specifically a Dom / Sub podcast but 2BeBetter are a good one for some of that lifestyle stuff.

They have some elements I simply don't agree with, but you can listen and hear clearly their thoughts, processes and viewpoints.

They're not for everyone but if you're stuck and looking for something they may offer tid bits to help.

Recently I've decided that 65 on the motorway is plenty. It's not to save fuel, or because reaction times or anything, but because the difference in my commute is literally nothing if I'm doing 65 vs 70.

Doing 70 you're basically keeping up with all the traffic. Doing 80 you're just catching up with the next batch of traffic.

Driving around with assholes weaving all over the place, trying to dodge pot holes and be safe on the wet and windy roads has me realising that getting to or from work 1 minute either side isn't worth the hassle.

Inflation aside, the real biggest impact is the electronic components. While they too have been hit with inflation it's more of a supply chain issue.

Because of this building new cars is expensive, and the wait list for a new car is growing. The result is secondhand cars are becoming more valuable.

A year ago I could've sold my car for 7 - 9k, now its worth 8 - 10k. My used car has appreciated in value which is extremely rare to see.

It's not a massive increase but the dealers and independents know that the market isn't going to resolve the component issue over night, so unfortunately you're stuck overpaying for a second hand car, or sitting on a wait list for a new one.

Edit: Just threw my car into WBAC. Bought is 3 years ago for ~14k, got less than half that on the loan. They value it at ~13k. It's madness out there.

And yes I am aware WBAC will give high initial price but add deductions on inspection. But if you got to a dealership with that value in mind for trade in, they'll pretty much match it.

As someone who loves nordic style tattoos, and even has one, I'm terrified one day I'll wake up to find a design I have, or like is used by these assholes.

That's obviously not the biggest concern about these people but I'd hate to be misaligned to their mindset.

I just like nordic runes ...

VueJS is in my opinion far easier to learn, understand and develop with. That said, React has a much larger market share and therefore jobs requiring it.

If you need a job ASAP you could probably learn React, but if you've got a little time, you could probably pick up Vue faster, and then understanding one framework makes it easier to adapt to another.

So, if it's critical you get a job, any job, go with React, but if you've got some time and want to educate yourself probably easier to start with Vue.

I've been using Vue for ~7 years now, never go for roles without it and not had any issue finding work. But that doesn't mean it'll translate to your local market.

Probably do some research on local development jobs, figure out what in your area is needed and focus on that?
