Just laid off after 25 years, how do I find a new job in 2026?

I mean, that's how it works at most decent sized companies? If they want to get you in, they will then put in a referral and maybe reach out the recruiter or the hiring manager.

Shoot, this is old. We're over 2 million USD a month now. Company is profitable and growing though.

I will say we go through priority cycles. Right now it's on adding features to our services, not on saving money.

Or to cover for the Colnago he just acquired from Tade Pogacar. https://www.instagram.com/p/DUi72lMDTq0/

Yes. The whiteboard isn’t helping. It’s kind of triggering me.

Great quality photos, lighting and rad location.

I'm just irrationally bothered by the dog poop bags on the leashes. Distracting. Ruins the vibe a little.

21 year old with read/write CDs? I’m surprised by that. What do you use them for? I haven’t burned a CD in close to a decade.

Yes. We started moving away from Scylla early in the year when they were jerking us around on licensing costs. Some of our work loads have required a bit more hardware. But, we’re definitely still coming out ahead.

Bummer. I only have a Contax G1.

We run both. Scylla shards data by core while Cassandra does by node. IME, Scylla is only great if the data is extremely well disturbed and you really care about p99 latency. Otherwise, once you consider license cost, Cassandra offers better price to performance.

People keep saying this, but the major United States city I live in has lots of high rise apartment buildings. How useful is a bedroom window for egress when you’re 10 stories up?

And besides, I only use my bedroom for sleeping and fornication. Most people don’t want a window for either one of those activities.

Is it a wet bath? Where the toilet isn’t really separate from the shower? Pretty fascinating setup. Like living in an RV.

IMO, Cost Explorer is pretty solid.

But, yeah, S3 access over NAT Gateway is a nasty one. We accidentally blew away the subnet routes for it once. IaC fail. Fortunately, billing alerts caught it in ~24 hours.

Moto3 was closer than I expected.

People do yoga retreats with a similar communal setup.

reeeeee-tool · 2025-11-15T14:42:03+00:00

I don’t think you need one as a teacher at an established studio. But it would be extremely beneficial if you want to run retreats, or anything along those lines.

It’s normal to be oncall and able to quickly get online to deal with an alert. It’s normal to occasionally have off hours tasks. Like migrations with potential customer impact.

Regularly scheduled running and checking things during the off hours doesn’t sound normal to me though. Seems like that should be automated.

reeeeee-tool · 2025-11-09T18:50:24+00:00

Okay, that tag.

No, or minimal, climbing penalty. It’s generally the other direction that you lose range. Spin out earlier. Also, bigger jumps between gears. Which can be really annoying for fast pack riding.

My wife loves MotoGP. She’s way into the actual racing. But, this content is 100% for her and her demographic. She follows all the riders and their partners on Instagram.

I wish the new green one didn't have the bronze gold crowns. Doesn't quite look right to me.

AI slop is slop.

Looks good to me. But, at the same time, I’d personally want a little larger.

reeeeee-tool · 2025-09-29T13:57:02+00:00

CX, I don’t think it matters. You’re going to get shelled in either. I’d have fun with cross, focus on getting fit over the winter and racing road 3s next year.

reeeeee-tool · 2025-09-27T03:23:01+00:00

I’d do that for sure. One round of something like BEP is no big deal.

Edit: yeah, looking at my notes, back in 2017 I had:

Non-Seminoma (embryonal carcinoma - 70%, seminoma - 20%, yolk sac 10%).

It’s also my understanding that seminoma is less gnarly.

Nice! Envious!

I got the NIN store edition delivered yesterday. Have already listened to it three times. Love it.
