  • Oh, if you worked at a company that uses them (which is a lot of companies), you'd definitely be familiar with them as they hog up a ton of fucking CPU/disk. I basically had an entire CPU core dedicated to running their bullshit.

  • Yeah. Anduril has tried to hire me multiple times as well as well as a number of people I know (their software is written in Haskell, which is a somewhat niche skill set).

    Every time I've told them absolutely not.

  • I was born in '90. Some of my most cherished memories as a kid are playing 90's video games: Donkey Kong Country 1-3, Super Mario World 1-2, and later, the revelation that was the N64. I didn't get to watch a lot of TV, but when I did I loved 90's cartoons like Dexter's lab and Arthur (and Mobile Suit Gundam Wing whenever I could catch it, though that was exceptionally rare)

    I vividly remember people stockpiling for Y2K and my mom turning on a radio to listen to the reports of 9/11.

    I'm definitely a 90's kid, and so is my brother who is a year younger than me ('91).

  • "Overmorrow" is the word for the day after tomorrow, and "ereyesterday" is the word for the day before yesterday, though both are obviously archaic and not really used (you perhaps might see them in fiction or historical work, though).

  • Thank God someone else said it. I was constantly in an existential battle with IT at my last job when they were constantly forcing updates, many of which did actually break systems we rely on because Apple loves introducing breaking changes in OS updates (like completely fucking up how dynamic libraries work).

    Updates should be vetted. It's a pain in the ass to do because companies never provide an easy way to rollback, but this really should be standard practice.

  • I'm not, really. They're one of our largest operating expenses and we're trying to work on reducing our log output to reduce the cost.

    For what they do I'm not aware of any players in the space that come anywhere close, though.

  • It's definitely not great here at all, though I'd say it's a bit different for professional software developers (who probably make up the bulk of contributors), since that kind of job tends to give you better benefits. In my experience, it's typical to either have unlimited PTO (that you may or may not be able to take, admittedly, though I've never had an issue with that), or at least a couple weeks of vacation a year. I've never worked anywhere as a software engineer where I had to really even account for sick time at all. I just tell my team I'm sick and that's about it.

  • It depends on the country. This is true in American English and it's what we teach in schools. In British English (which, in my experience, is what most ESL learners outside the US end up learning), they go outside the quotes. Source.

  • Speak for yourself. I don't use LLMs and never will.

    It always irks me when people talk about it like it's universal and inevitable when that's very far from the case. There are many, many issues with them and many developers wisely choose to ignore the fad.
