  • Here is a bunch of random tips to become more comfortable with the terminal.

    Do absolutely everything that you can on the terminal.

    When you install something, enable the verbose if possible and snoop around the logs to see what is happening.

    If an app or an install fails, look at the logs to see what is the issue, and try to fix it by actually resolving the error itself first instead of finding the commands on the internet to fix your issue.

    Instead of googling for your command options, use the help menu from the application and try to figure out how to use the command from there.

  • A shielded braid reduce the noise on the data lines and gives a better signal integrity. So it doesn't increase the quality of the material, but increase the signal to noise ratio (SNR), which is very important for data transmission.

  • I want to be more mindful of the things I buy. I want to support local business first even if that means taking an hour or two to find something I like, instead of a few minutes.

    It has a second benefit of filtering what I really need instead of what I want.

    It is another small step to reduce my carbon footprint.

  • It's normal to see some halo around a light at night. What isn't normal, is to see a distortion of the light as depicted in OP's image.

    If you see that the light is distorted more on one axis, that means you have some kind of astigmatism.

    I have a little bit of astigmatism and it is nowhere near what OP's picture depicts.

  • The trend we see in programming is the same trend we see in many sectors. There is a spectrum of skills, and unfortunately, we only talk about the bad programmers and not the good ones.

    The reality is that your company probably don't pay for top skills, so they get what they pay for. The pool of worker is spread thin, so the only thing left is the bad programmer.

    So diploma mills churn out a maximum of workers to cash in on the situation.

  • I am not in the US, so I cannot compare, but people here that go to college equivalent explicitly learn to code.

    When people go into computer science at University, they are decent coders and can do a lot of things out of school.

  • The main issue is that not a lot of companies want and do take the time to train less experienced devs. Every company is expecting new hires to be trained already.

    So many new devs need to scrape by with whatever means they have. And it is true is a lot of industries.

  • Your comment made me angry. These old accounting cunts are always trying to fuck us over to pad their budget short term.

    Privatization is a plague and neo liberalism needs to die a gruesome death.

    SAQ made almost 1.5 billion in profits, but the government is trying to shaft their employees by reducing the business hours, among some other issues, just to make more profits. Fuck off already

  • More than half the points are just good engineering practice directly embedded in the language.

    It tells a lot about the state of programming in general with the pushback we see with memory safe languages.

    I'm down with Rust and I can't wait for official support for embedded Rust in chip manufacturers, because until then, very few clients will be okay with using unofficial Rust cargos for their products.
