I did the same but with milk. My job at the time supplied coffee but not milk, the fridge was full of 1 pint bottles with names written on. There was never enough space. People got territorial over their 5sq inches of fridge. There was a milk club where they pooled together to buy milk for their group.

I couldn't face dealing with that so opted out and drank it black. That was 15 years ago.

Some time later that employer realised they could solve a great many staff disputes for the low price of 20 pints of milk a week and started supplying it. No idea why it took so long.

My first job was about 200 people but there was a satellite office with 3 people. Similar story, someone left and they tried to replace him for the same salary. The job ad was for project manager/lead dev/office manager/customer support and user training.

They actually hired someone who latest 6 weeks

Yeah, humans regularly deliver stuff wrong on our street. There is no way robots will manage. I get packages for both by neighbours and they get mine more often than correct deliveries and one of my neighbours is a business.

Set push.autoSetupRemote in your gitconfig and it'll do it first time

A great example of this is TSA luggage locks. Mandated backdoor, master keys leaked by company that makes them, now anyone can open any TSA approved lock.

I like to think this whole thing will collapse and there'll be a massive demand for real programmers to clean up/rewrite all the AI slop.

But your thing seems more likely.

I meant running windows on them, its enormous and its all linux servers. I know you can run windows but it'll be a tiny fraction.

This is my thought, they've all but lost the battle for cloud servers and they'd rather the developers computers were Windows. WSL allows that.

How long until someone asks an LLM how to customize the property names of JSON and it tells them to use github copilot to that 😂

I did this once, it was legitimate but he refused to tell me even what department he called from. I said i wasn't going to give personal into to an incoming call and i wasn't calling back unless i knew why. He ended up mailing me a letter instead.

I almost got scammed a few years ago by being called about fraudulent activity the day after i reported fraudulent activities, in hindsight I think they just got lucky with timing, but I take no chances now.

Ever noticed how decades ago if someone defeated a bank's security we called it bank robbery, but now it's called identity theft and we get blamed for it.

It's taken me a while to learn how to use it and where it works best but I'm coming around to where it fits.

Just today i was doing a new project, i wrote a couple lines about what i needed and asked for a database schema. It looked about 80% right. Then asked for all the models for the ORM i wanted and it did that. Probably saved an hour of tedious typing.

It's not really an option for renters, tenants aren't going to pay for solar panels on someone else's house and landlords wouldn't get any benefit.

I'd rather see public investment in grid installations that can benefit everyone, not just the poorest who were rich enough to buy a house, along with reforming the energy market so pay what the energy actually cost and not as if it was all gas.

Another one for immich but I'm also running immich-public-proxy. It proxies just the share links so the entire instance isn't public.

My last job did this. They offered more for those who had worked there longer. People with over 15 years got about a years pay and they all took it. People who had been there under a year got nothing so they all stayed.

I was going to take then they withdrew the offer for all devs. I think a lot tried to take it and they realised no one would be left. I would have got 3-4 months pay. Loads of institutional knowledge lost though, i left anyway a few months later.

Since before bitcoin we've had Faster Payments in UK. I can transfer money directly to anyone else's bank account and it's effectively instant. It's also free. Venmo and cashapp don't serve a purpose here.

US and allies were first world, Soviets and allies were the second world, everyone else was third world.

I've given up asking. I've been on the site since 2008, the last time i asked something and actually got an answer was 2017.

I was expecting this one.

I love this about Nix. Had a case this year where I'd hit a bug in the upstream, I fixed it and submitted a PR but then could reference that PR directly for the patch file until a new release finally made it out.

I did the same when I was 10. Got lucky with the position and did no real damage despite the nail coming out the top of the top of my shoe.

I pulled my foot back and the nail come out. Went to tell my dad what happened and he was talking to someone and told me to wait so i did for about 5 minutes. I wasn't bawling in pain so he didn't know anything was wrong.

Went to hospital and got an X-ray, a tetanus shot and a bandage.
