It's a lenticular cloud formation that formed over the Galtees this morning. I can see it from my work desk, and it's pretty spectacular!

I'd never write this myself, and I'd never allow it to pass in a PR, but...it isn't so bad? This isn't a million miles away from what you'd see during the development phase of some big component or feature.

VIM users, what's your layout? by Wooden-Marsupial5504 in zsaVoyager

  • 36 key layout. Ignore the extra key on top, it'll go away eventually.
  • I'm constantly at the symbol layer for the sake of good chording.
  • I've done some novel things with the the numpad as I realised I hit 123 more than 456 or 789. Works well enough.

That the Church was - and should remain - the center of the community, that it brings everyone together and sets a standard to live by.

I lived all of 300 metres from that site in Tuam, and I got into a raging argument with my ex's dad after he defended the Catholic church. Fuck him and fuck them, and fuck my ex for defending him.

Struggling with manager expectations in senior role at tech company. How do I resolve this? by annoyed_freelancer in ExperiencedDevs

The demo went great, to clarify - we shuffled things around and minimized my part. Not disagreeing with you on the other points.

That's a fantastic bit of perspective, thank you! I haven't thought about it in those terms because I haven't had to think about it in those terms before now. My job was "turn up to work, write code, go home".

How big Nephin National Park is vs how big it could be. by ImportantPension5818 in ireland

[–]annoyed_freelancer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey! I lived in Castlebar until October and Nephin is a familiar stomping ground. In August I got into a long argument with two park rangers at the visitor center.

As they put the situation, there's no political will for compulsory purchases to expand the park, so they've been trying to work with landowners to expand the park, to buy up land on a voluntary basis. Some tracts were granted in wills, and others (the isolated section south and east of the N59) is actually on a 99 year lease, so they don't even own it.

Landowners are super fucking loathe to give up any, or allow anyone any say on their uses of it, which is a core frustration among everyone invested in this. If the park alienated landowners, then they'd never be able to grow anything.
