Exactly this. And it shows a good example for other underrepresented genders that there are others too in the field and they are absolutely amazing; seriously in the top 1% of the devs.

I think it's time to kill Yoshi again. Into the lava.

Wait, why are we even talking about the mighty Nirvana in a Limp Bizkit thread?

Also, laughing at somebody "still" listening to Nirvana is like laughing at somebody going with Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath.

Or... Now when I think about it, even laughing at anybody about their music taste is a bit weird.

Refactoring that parser you did for the internal DSL in 2011.

So these people have a choice: they can accept their way of living is a reason for the current catastrophe. They need to stop enjoying cars, that schnitzel mit bratkartoffeln and start building those wind plants also to the south.

Or they can start blaming the refugees and the women with tattoos.

Couldn't find :V from the list...

Imagine being in the orange forum and thinking everybody's using Mac...

Usually either one bus or one train. 10 minutes longer, sometimes 15. And so much cheaper and better for the environment.

It works pretty well here in Berlin. The trains go far to the suburbs and beyond, are fast and comfortable. You pay 49 euros a month and can travel anywhere in the country with the ticket. Most of them go even at night.

I'm a vim and emacs user for some decades already. I had this urge one day to try and work with helix. It kind of misses some things such as file manager or editorconfig support. Nine months later I'm still using helix. It still misses these things, but I really started to like how I don't need any plugins to work with it and I need about five lines of configuration to have a usable editor. Probably going to continue using it.

And it is written in Rust, which is my main language and I can just jump in to the editor source and fix things if needed.

I miss magit and org from emacs a lot though. Every time I need to write an article, I do it in emacs.

It's a recession and suddenly the money lost to adblockers matters.

The default installation brings ages old tools for the terminal, due to the GNU tools updating their licenses to GPLv3. So first thing you do is you install homebrew, which is slow and kind of miserable if you compare it to any other Linux package manager. Of course you can install nix, and have a half-decent experience in the terminal.

Then, of course, a lot of things are just not available or are super weird configured from the terminal. There's no systemd, docker is running a Linux virtual machine in the background and is slow as hell, try to have a few daemons running as services, configure that from the terminal and use the machine headless. It's not a great experience for an experienced Linux/BSD hacker, and lot of the stuff is missing man pages, or they are just so old they don't matter anymore.

And, hey, a new OS update comes and you just have to fix things for hours because the terminal experience is not The removed Way and that compiler toolchain you need every day is now broken...

I stopped using OSX in 2008, when an OS upgrade forced me to give my credit card to their App Store, to load an Xcode component I needed to continue using the free compiler I've been using for years before that. Installed Linux after that and never looked back.

Well, Brittany Murphy is also dead and I don't really think King of the Hill is the same without Luanne either.

Such a good movie.

This puts me to binge watch the whole series again. Probably my fifth rewatch... Such a great series.

Getting the modem to connect to the internet, which required information from the internet. Going to the library to find that information, after a few weeks I got the RedHat 5.1 to connect. Good old 90's Linux, where you needed to find the correct modelines for your monitor so X would start.

I've been running NixOS for the past four years in all my computers. It's really, really the end game of Linux distributions for me. But it's not for everybody. The Nix language can be a tough thing to learn, if you're not a programmer and haven't done anything with lazy functional languages before. It's a dynamic language, with not super great documentation for practical things and missing a good language server that would let you to jump to definitions when learning how nixpkgs work and how to build things.

Also, what I think is a serious problem, is how flakes are not yet enabled in the default installation. So first you learn with the basic template, and some helpful person comes talking about how great flakes are, and in a few weeks you might have written your own system flake finally and got it working. Flakes are really important to understand as soon as possible, because with them you get the lock file that gives you real reproducibility between computers and full control on which version of packages you get.

But, when you learn all that, and get your company to go full-on with nix, having flakes in all projects, it's the best programmer's operating system out there. Here's my config to steal stuff.

Too bad European countries are following the US footsteps. Finland just ousted their popular prime minister lady with a government of actual ultra right wing nazis, Germany's AfD is gaining lots of traction and getting crazier with their conspiracy theories about great replacement, Italy is going far right too with their new government. UK and their Brexit night... At least Spain is still not having a far right party in the government, if they can form one.

It's also a good choice. What I like about opnSense is how it's basically just a distribution you update from the shell, feels more like a real operating system compared to OpenWRT, which is usually flashed to the router.
