We're still working on finding out what the fox says. We'll get to chickens after
What does the fox say?
Can confirm - you work like a dumber, more tired version of you needs to maintain it, so comment accordingly. Also, you do the work right but also fast; and you see how right you can do it in a reasonable timeframe of course.
But we fired a lot of our mentors after Y2K to save money that quarter. And the juniors there had no learning as to the whys of the whats when it comes to best practice. Those juniors became seniors and their juniors are 2nd-gen flying blind. We're doing dumb things because we know why we shouldn't, but we don't understand that we shouldn't. (Hint: if someone says "Yeah But," they may not get it)
We need to rediscover the whys we lost; and it's gonna be hard to really understand it, but we'll figure it out. A few more ClownStrikes and we wont have a choice!
Canada is us$12.50. That's getting close to double, and we share a long border.
You wanna make almost twice more money AND pay 1% less tax for the free healthcare, then go north.
Thanks for putting the caveats in there.
I will say that at my current job, remote IT work is in the contract. Because we're union. And getting it out of the contract and risking shutdown because so many critical systems are run by people far away? Not a good idea. I hope it's here to stay.
That's truly inhumane. Even when I was a server - not America - I was paid the same wage as a line cook of similar experience.
Agreed, here.
When I was part of the large crew maintaining AT&T Unix, like, the holy Grail, we used windows desktops.
Why? We didn't have to futz with modelines or any such nonsense and for our needs - Mozilla, winamp, vanDyke(ssh) - it was excellent. You don't want to drive the proverbial bus all day and fix the bus all night !
Here of course, step2 is whinging by the cons and even decriminalization is killed.
And who pays for cops to stop and frisk for a half a gram? Why, everyone pays. That's some smart spending from a life-long outsider.
Let the unimpeachable Republican cast the first stone.
Anyone? Bueller....bueller.....
- Not conservative aristofascist
- Repels Joe Rogan
That's 2!
when one of your favorite tracks from an album gets used in a commercial.
There's a cover of Aerosmith's Dream On that's sung by a scandinavian performer in that rich, deep, lush way you expect, and it sounds beautiful.
It's the typical "take a rock song and slow it down for a solo" thing they do with every song on those amateur-with-celebrity-judges talent shows, but it sounds actually natural and real instead of this generation's Aguilaran Vocal Gymnastics. But she only did it for the commercial.
The local pet store has a placement programme with the SPCA. The customer pays the adoption and like 10% goes to the store for the space and paperwork. Animals rotate back soon to prevent stress. I can't see a better way to do a better partnership.
It's not just Disney digging the graveyard to sell more rotting remains and wondering why they don't go for top dollar; it's the lot of them. FREAKY FRIDAY is coming out again.
What's next? Non-racist Chitty Chitty bang-bang? Twin child actors again with yet another parent trap?
I feel there's some dots and squiggles missing from that title.
Wow. American cops sure have changed.
There is here. \shrug
I bet the negative reaction is a little more nuanced than "girls bad. Non-white people weird", and I worry you're generalizing.
Remember how Dionysus was born.

Air Canada has apologized to customers who were allegedly escorted off a plane for refusing to sit in a chair covered with vomit for the duration of their over four-hour flight.
The airline issued a statement after a viral Facebook post claimed two as-yet unidentified female flyers were told there was nothing to be done about the visible vomit on their soiled seats.
Oh! AirCanada!
Ah, RedHat (rpmdb failure)
We've been using Yum (and now its "differenter name is betterer" dnf) for what, 20 years?
error: rpmdb: BDB0113 Thread/process 13664/139968089683776 failed: BDB1507 Thread died in Berkeley DB library error: db5 error(-30973) from dbenv->failchk: BDB0087 DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: cannot open Packages index using db5 - (-30973) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
You think we'll ever get someone with a clue to fix this? Will RedHat going all IBM about source code help?
Screen width and web dev
Okay, so what's with Gitlab and ServiceNow getting so fat on whitespace that they no longer fit in half a 1920x1200 screen properly?
What's the standard width that actual professional webdevs are building toward? Is there a standard, or like app dependendencies are they back to pre-y2k "moar moar nom nom" methodologies?
Where's the "Did MSFT sharepoint just go down again today" posting space?
Look. It happens a few times a week, where reps in 3 time-zones will be fucked by an interruption to azure services like o341 or sharepoint (we don't do VMs in azure; not secure enough).
I'm used to shadenfreuding Reddit over that, or at least finding it's not just our company firewall and VPN taking the Proverbial.
Is there a sub I can join to get the topical junk like that? I'm too indolent - like a fox! - to go to twitter (or ideally mastodon) for a more suitable location; but will I find it there if I do? Can it be here too?
#174 Fedora Linux With The Project Leader | Matthew Miller, in which RedHat stabbing the GPL in the back may or may not affect Fedora

I didn't find this yet, but please downvote to hell itself and drop a link to the proper prior post in comments if you find it.
In here, eventually, are some comments from the Fedora project leader about how RHEL trying to kill open access to source and packaging source code is potentially going to affect Fedora, RedHat's ginger adopted stepchild which it usually overlooks.
I must say there's a LOT to wait through and one of them has a mic with a bad level at times, and I didn't sit all the way through. Tell me if I've been scammed, but I thought this may have value and I'm hoping to hear confirmation of that too.
Enjoy? Or flame me. Happy Friday.
