Installing zoxide led me to installing fzf, which has improved my terminal experience by about 35%, I already installed it in all the machines I'm managing

Got any more tools? :)

Most of them do not see opposition as mentally disabled, they see it as an internal enemy. And in dealing with it, punitive psychiatry is a times tested method.

If I were on their developer team this shit would make me depressed for at least a week. Like, It's an objectively horrible idea, obviously pushed by someone from marketing or (worse) leadership. An intern can tell you why it's bad, a fucking llm can see it based on description alone.

Yet everyone have to live with it.

A lot of people from Middle Asia come there for seasonal work (mainly construction and farming). For migrants its good money, for russia it was kind of necessary before the war because of Russia's aging population, and essential after the war. Like, it will collapse industries if migrants stop coming.

So its strange that putin&co keep stoking xenophobia. Though, when did economic sense stopped a fascist from doing fascism.

Rotate each apple 90 degrees so that core is parallel to the ground and perpendicular to the knife, now its split equally

If more than one person hates the stem part then yea it's murder time

Like it or hate it (personally I prefer the latter, posting there I felt like a middle schooler with a PUNCH ME sticker on my face) it was a great source of indexable data on programming.

I wonder how will this affect future search and llms, now that all similar questions are being asked in private llm threads.

Let he who isn't cringe cast the first stone

They look like Thin Men aliens from Xcom

Fair enough :)

Steam has an algorithm feeding you game suggestions

From what I gather from that and a couple other articles, the reasoning is either "this is a slogan for a terrorist organization" or a "that is a negation of Israel and therefore antisemitic hate crime".

germany wtf

I feel you, I've gone through similar problems but from the other side of the world. In case if you need advice:

Consider eastern europe. From what I know, you'll have 3 months-visa free, that's more than enough to find a job in a big city even without any kind of connections. All you need is moving expenses and a few months of rent, and you'll have a very good chances of getting into some kind of residency program (do research your options in advance)

The language barrier will be a thing, but english will get you into many doors if you choose a big city. You can work on your language afterwards.

You'll fail a lot, it will be very stressful, you will be outsider in the eyes of many, but trust me your chances are much bigger than some people I know that have done a similar thing and succeeded. And after you succeed (and you will, if you try and don't give up) the understanding that government's power over you is not absolute will stay with you forever.

All that said: I'm not saying you need to leave. I'm just saying that you can.

Do you have a source about that incident? Reminds me of a dude arrested in russia for holding a blank piece of paper.

Its almost as if a single dimension is not big enough to describe the diversity of human political thought.

I hate so much that this has a 100% chance of becoming a norm. Narrator can make a mediocre book shine, or turn a good book into a fucking rollercoaster (Andy Serkis, anyone?)

AI? Not a great narrator. Its character voices are boring, intonations weird, pacing awful. I'd honestly rather get an amateur narrating it for fun, over a robot sounding like a knock-off Morgan Freeman.

“[Netflix] members pay as much attention to midroll ads as they do to the shows and movies themselves,” Amy Reinhard, president of advertising at Netflix, said, per the publication.

Amy, I want you to be honest with me, are you an alien.

Because on planet Earth we do not, if fact, pay as much attention to the ads as to the things we're actually interested in. Famously our brains even produce this fascinating effect to spare us from the bullshit you're shoving into our eyeballs.

So is renewable energy, but if I start correcting people that they don't exist because the sun is finite, I will look like a pedant.

Because compared to the fossil fiels they are renewable, the same way Wikipedia is unbiased compared to foxnews.

Because having a CEO earning 100x of an average employee disincentivizes looking for stable, consumer-friendly income streams.

Why would the leadership want that, the only way they can continue paying themselves that much money is by sucking big tech's tit.

(let me preach a little, I have to listen to my boss gushing about AI every meeting)

Compare AI tools: now vs 3 years ago. All those 2022 "Prompt engineer" courses are totally useless in 2025.

Extrapolate into the future and realize, that you're not losing anything valuable by not learning AI tools today. The whole point of them is they don't require any proficiency. It "just works".

Instead focus on what makes you a good developer: understanding how things work, which solution is good for what problem, centering your divs.
