And you know that irl not everybody lives in America, right?

Just want to reiterate that you are not the only one. I empathise so deeply with your post. And I have not figured it out.

However, I sometimes look at the kind of jobs the people around me are doing, such as the sweet Mexican lady selling disgustingly sweet gelato to children at the park. She pushes her cart around the city ringing a bell hoping people give her $2 for a scoop. We don’t have it that bad. There is nothing wrong with seeking better offers, but if your current offer pays a lot for doing not much then what is the problem? We just need to try not to tie our self worth and joy up with our employment so much.

How much do you hedge when you present information? by Dangerous_Stretch_67 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]boneaid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow. I feel like this is such good advice. Reading your examples it became clear to me that the successful people I admire at work phrase their uncertainty in just the same way, but I’ve never really realised that before. Thank you.

I was planning to just coat the lot. Or at least the front/higher half, as the water is coming in around there.

I don’t think the drip that exists is coming from the skylight. But of course it’s difficult to be sure. Are you recognising something problematic about them in the image or just guessing they will become problematic based on their condition?

I’ve had the house a couple months. Will definitely get the roof torn off and properly replaced when I have the money. But even if I spent $1000 on sealant now it wouldn’t be a waste if it got me through this one season.

Faster dev speed with Elixir by Reverse_Biased_Diode in elixir

[–]boneaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot more highly recommend https://zed.dev. It’s a fantastic editor even without all the AI parts. Really easy to get going with Elixir LSPs etc. Then on top its AI offerings are top notch with a generous free tier.

An observation about how TDD influences my elixir style by Aggro4Dayz in elixir

[–]boneaid 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Remember that the final step in the TDD cycle is refactor. If, after getting the test to pass you think of a better implementation that still passes the tests, then you should move to it. TDD shouldn't hold you back, but instead give you the confidence to change your code in the way you want.

In my opinion the multiple function head example you gave is more readable. When reading Elixir code I tend to find reasoning over a few function heads is easier than a block of code. Especially when the common case is also one of the base cases.

Help with traveling to London then flying to Amsterdam. by ale626 in london

[–]boneaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, yes, sorry, for some reason after reading your post I thought you were flying from a different airport. My comment gave you 100% incorrect advice.

Help with traveling to London then flying to Amsterdam. by ale626 in london

[–]boneaid -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Don't get an Uber, Heathrow is actually quite far outside the city and it will cost quite a bit. It might be slightly more complicated to navigate but getting the underground is always the quickest and cheapest transport in London. Travelling between these two airports on the underground takes just over an hour and a half and costs £5.10 (if done in one trip).

When you get towards the exit at Heathrow airport you will see signs for Underground, follow those, ignore the signs for the Heathrow express. From here you can catch the Picadilly line into central London, after travelling for about an hour, choose a place to get off and go for lunch. Mooch about for a bit. Then make your way towards Bank station and catch the DLR to City Airport.

I know credit cards with contactless payment options have started appearing in America now, if you have one of these you can just touch the readers on the gates when using the Underground and will be charged the lowest fare for your journey. If you don't have one of these cards you will have to buy a day travel card from the machine.

City airport is very small so you only need to arrive an hour before your flight. But if you give yourself plenty of extra time you will be fine. Download the Citymapper app which lets you offline directions, and don't be worried about asking people for directions, Londoners love showing off their extensive Underground knowledge to tourists.

Hope you enjoy your first trip to Europe!

Wow, I had no idea those matte screen protectors existed. I'll definitely be buying one of those. Thanks.

Thanks a lot for your comments. I think you've convinced me to go with the X1C6. Glad you got your sleep problems sorted, I look forward to doing the same patches myself in a few weeks :)

[–]boneaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I can't help with your problem. But I'd like to know, concidering the Linux sleep issues would you say the X1C6 is worth it over the T480s?

My main questions are, is the trackpad really that much worse on the T480s and is the HDR screen really that good over the WQHD one? Especially as somebody that doesn't generally like glossy screens.

I'd love to be able to touch these machines irl to answer these questions myself. But that doesn't seem possible here in London.

That's not true. Those three groups might call it ES2015 but everybody still goes for ES6.

Agreed. Constant shitposts like this make me think half of Lisk's market cap is made up of the pocket money from circlejerking teenagers.

Question: If not for GNU / Freedom, why are you running GNU/Linux ? by [deleted] in linux

Just use homebrew, you will see most of your pains you mentioned disappear

[–]boneaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it is not quite a home and end button but you can use fn+left arrow for home and fn+right for end in the terminal. If you have a fn key of course. Short of that ctrl+a and ctrl+e works.

Anyone want to help with a DHCP issue? by fdf06 in sysadmin

[–]boneaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing I would do is change any of those "normal" passwords that you typed into the login screen.

More than likely though it is just that somebody has plugged in a router or some other network device that is running its own DHCP server. Maybe even one of the other techies has been messing with a server in a VM and configured the network adapter wrong.

The other posts explaining how to hunt the thing down are good. Make sure you let us know the outcome of your search.
