It's a legit possibility.

I've been married for 10 years and have two kids. I'm still not sure if my wife likes me. I haven't picked up any hints. I must've missed them all.

There's something particularly good about just boiled eggs, black pepper, and mayo on buttered bread. I've had this one a few times.

Whoa, what a feast for the senses, I've gotta try that one.

Beef pattie + bacon + fried egg + cheese + mayo. That's what I want. In every burger.

In Australia we have a "works" burger that is steak + bacon + egg + onion + lettuce + beetroot + cheese + mayo, and sometimes pineapple too. It's amazing, it's my favourite burger.

I once found a Cafe Latte flavoured yoghurt. I thought it would be amazing. Tasted it and immediately regretted it. It tasted just absolutely awful, I can't even describe it.

Is it that Asus ProArt Creator motherboard? To my knowledge that's the only AMD board that shipped with the special Intel chip required to use Thunderbolt.

I've been thinking of picking one up, but I can't justify the crazy price for it.

Oh, I remember having to use Yocto when I started experimenting with the BeagleBone Black SBC back in 2015. Yes I remember it being very hard to use. I remember I had need to rebuild the kernel to include a disabled kernel module. The cross compilation on my desktop PC didn't work, so I had to build it on the BeagleBone. That was an awful process, it took about 6 hours.

For anyone not familiar, the BeagleBone Black was an SBC that came out as competitor to the Raspberry Pi 2. The main difference was the BeagleBone used an open source design, based on a non-NDA CPU unlike the RPI, so it meant they published full kernel sources. But in my experiments I found the BeagleBone CPU was much slower than the RPI, and it's graphics hardware was almost non-existent compared to RPIs integrated graphics.

Ha, that's actually a hilarious conversation my buddy and I once had. We were talking about aggressively pooping in your pants in an interview while maintaining eye contact to assert dominance. The thought was it would make you appear fractionally taller (spacing you slightly up from the seat), the interviewer would be intimated by your sudden infinitesimal height difference.

He's not going to give you a free car, no matter how much you defend him online.

Well, the whole spice trade was literally wealthy people buying taste.

Oh that brings back memories. I used to burn all my HDD backups onto CDs using PAR2 to prevent degredation.

Oh yeah, the old "white van speaker scam", I've heard of that, there's some interesting YouTube videos about it.

This post is about seeing how far you can push a GPT-generated post until people start to see through the holes.

Actually this is the biggest hurdle in leaning how to code. You can blame the huge numbers of "learn to code in 24 hours" articles and videos online and the the influx of "5 day bootcamp" courses. Its like teaching someone the basics of how to drive a car but never teaching them the road rules and never taking them on the road.

A better analogy might be learning a foreign language. It's like teaching someone all the words in Spanish, but never putting them together in a conversation.

I'd argue that if you say "I know how to code, I know what variables are and how to print text to the console, how do I make an app?" Then actually you don't know how to code. You might know the basics of a programming language, and that is the first step in learning coding, but there are many steps after that.

I identified this gap a few years ago after seeing a couple of my friends (one finished a boot camp, and one finished a software development major at Uni) both were in this same situation. I determined there is a big gap between "knowing a programming language" and "knowing how to make software". It's like going from "I know how to write words" to "I know how to write a novel". It's not something that comes easy. It's something that can take time (often years) to get good at. This is the reason you see requirements like "3 years software development experience" on entry level programmer jobs. The number of people in your situation is incredibly high. The coding bootcamps churn them out by the hundreds every month.

A couple of years ago when I was between jobs, I created a Gumtree ad advertising "post-bootcamp" courses, that aimed at bridging this gap. It was a series of private 1on1 lessons aimed at teaching someone to go from "knowing how to code" to being "software developer" job ready. Lots of people have many different learning styles and different paths they took to this point. The key is focussing not on the giving them the missing information, but teaching the person how to identify what steps are missing and how to find resources to learn them (because that's the real missing knowledge wink).

Unfortunately I found some people didn't want to learn how to learn for themselves, and just wanted me to hand them the "secret missing parts" on a platter.

No, I haven't reached that point yet.

Signal is the best, but no way I'm going to be able to get my wife, my friends, my parents and in-laws to use it.

What was the removed word there? Something like "outsourced"?.

We use containers in our work whenever possible, to reduce the problems caused by different development environments and deployment environments. And as a Linux user I embrace the idea (Linux dev containers for every project!) but it has unfortunately made things harder for our Windows developers. Docker on windows is a difficult to get right. Throw Docker-Desktop and WSL2 in the mix, you have a nightmare. They all come to me with "why isn't my Docker environment working?!".

We found the graphics designer.
