Right. I work 37.5 hours a week in a job I love and I hate working. I can’t imagine doing almost double.
VSCode isn’t an IDE, although you can kinda make it work like an IDE with extensions.
I use Visual Studio Professional as my IDE at work, but we do a lot of C#.
Some people are not taught, by their parents, how to handle anger or frustration. I don’t think we should be calling them out for this, as people don’t learn that way.
Not for about 3 years now.
I took a stand against their horrible practices and frequently pay more for goods I could find there cheaper, plus arrive faster.
Why would you doubt me. I’m pretty chill and don’t tend to hate or hold grudges, as those only affect me so what’s the point.
Although, JC I can’t get past for some reason. He’s a cunt.
I only have hatred for one human and that Jeremy Clarkson.
Many years ago, not long after the MHxxx flight when missing, Mr Clarkson was on a flight on posted a picture of the fallen oxygen masks on his flight with some comment about I hope we don’t crash. This was shortly after it was determined what happened to the plane.
I made a comment on Twitter as a reply saying that’s not cool. To which Clarkson replied saying how am I supposed to know when I’m on a plane dummy, even though he just posted to Twitter from the plane.
What proceeded was thousands of messages from his fan boys calling me a loser and such. Which is confusing as I would argue the losers were the people defending this clown.
Thanks. I was being overly dramatic to be honest.
I’m an idiot. Yes it is.
Israel has been the one to turn down any ceasefire agreements put forward by Hamas, even the ones with the return of all hostages. So that seems like Israel doesn’t want a resolution and is dead set on the, impossible, task of wiping out Hamas. Which is something that isn’t likely, as killing my whole family might make me join Hamas.
Let me ask you this. Is the Palestinian people have tried peaceful measures to get Israel to stop taking land and killing people, and they’ve tried political means. What choice other than violence is left.
Wasn’t it JFK that said something like “people who make a peaceful resolution impossible will make a violent resolution inevitable”.
It doesn’t and Israel should stop committing them, as should Hamas.
All Israel are doing is ensuring the next wave of Hamas conscripts.
Who decides when we the statute of limitations is up on past transgressions of Israel?
So you don’t see how Israelis settlers make life unlivable for Palestinians? Or that Israel has taken more and more territory over the last 8 decades?
You seem to only want to shit on the terrorists Hamas and find issue with my choice of words, and not address any critique of Israel at all. That get my ire, the fact that people will focus on Hamas.
Who is defending literal terrorists?
I will condemn the actions of Hamas, just as fervently as I will condemn the actions of Israel.
Strange how you will condemn the killing of innocent people, unless it’s a retaliatory response to the murder of innocent people. Double standards.
FYI: Insulting people really isn’t going to bring people round to your point of view, and it speaks volumes about your mentality.
We have a client at work, who will take a picture on his phone of an email on his monitor. He will then print out and then annotate that email with a pen, take a picture with his phone. Email it back to himself, then finally forward that email, presumably back from his desktop.
I work as a software developer and I hate clients. You would think you could code for most reasonable use cases, then you meet clients and they’re anything but reasonable or sane.
Current client wants their new software to work the same as their old one, when we spec’d out a new system with a better way of doing things and they agreed. Now in integration testing and they want everything changing to be more like the old one, even though it’s dumb and they should be open to change.
I do not support Israel.
But if you’re referring to Hamas, I don’t support them either; as I clearly said I don’t support the killing of innocent people. Even if that is in response to the murder of innocent people.
Hamas suck, As does the Israeli government and anybody that supports their actions over the last 9/10 months and even longer than that to be honest.
I tend to look at the license plate, as in the uk it tells you how old the car is.
For instance MS21 ABC or MS61 ABC would be a car sold in the first half of 2021 or the second half of 2021, respectively. Also, the first two letters say where it was sold.
So based on the age I can see if it’s a purchase after it was well known Elon was a douche or that they have poor quality control or even before everybody else caught up. Then I’ll judge them. For older ones, I’m more lenient.
As a new, one year, software developer who retrained late. How do you know when you're ready to apply for a new role with more money?
As the title states. I’ve been a software developer for a year now and work for a tiny company, where the salary isn’t amazing. I got paid more at Apple Genius Bar, but it wasn’t as challenging.
I still feel like I’m stupid, I’ll rely on the owner lead engineer for help on the more complex problems and because we have a great set of conventions I’ll frequently be going back to old projects to extract the logic from their. Whether that be reading from Excel spreadsheets or the controller flow, as we use GraphQL api for most calls.
Does it just click at some point?
Anybody know of any Darknet/darkweb related communities?
I ran a search but nothing was returned but searching on lemmyverse returned some like
But not sure how to join in from Voyager.
Has anybody noticed that some videos on YouTube will let you out of the app and continue playing in PiP mode on iOS?
The latest Nick Crawley video for instance if anybody wants to try.
Edit: Wait it’s happening on the latest Penguin0 video too. So confused.
Edit: It’s happening on all videos. Dopamine overload for me. Watching YouTube and browsing Lemmy.
Edit: Wondering if it cause I have a VPN connected to Miami. Not used a VPN for a while, but started last week.
Got my first ever watch, aside from super cheap ones. I am very happy.
I used to wear watches on my right wrist but had to change to the left as using a mouse all day is awful with a decent watch on. Guess it’ll take a while to get used to it.
Edit: I just noticed that by complete chance I took the image when the seconds were at 0. I did not plan that.
Anybody using a framework laptop?
I have been looking at them a lot recently and they have a premium price is it worth it?
What does it look like when you want to upgrade? Like can you just swap out all parts over time and essentially it’s like having a custom desktop, but in small form factor.
Can you buy a base model and upgrade components over time?
Would it suit my use cases for it? Which are to run Linux, I have to use Windows as a Software Dev and so can’t do it on my main. Can I run Minecraft on Linux? I know, but I like that game it makes me happy to unwind.
I want to get more into cyber security related tasks and most likely increase my Darknet activities using Tails.
Is it safe to use free movies sites on a phone, specifically iOS devices?
As the title says, what are the risks, I assume people don’t host these servers for no reason. Is it just the ad revenue they get from the popups when trying to start the movie.
Could they be running exploits on here that would make it not safe at all to do so?
How do rainbows work?
Now I know that rainbows are formed due to refraction of light from the sun hitting raindrops and light waves leave at varying angles between 40-42 degrees or somewhere around there. Also, that they’re round.
What I don’t understand is how it’s consistent, like I assume it’s hitting many raindrops, but all these drops are in different places so why does it still form a nice circle. Furthermore, why isn’t the whole sky a rainbow if it’s raining and thus hitting all the drops. I suspect the angle of the sun is playing a part but I’m not a science man.
Please help me get this thought out of my head.
What's been the craziest moment of your life?
I saw this asked on another instance, thought I’d ask it here and I’ll post my response from there in the comments as I think it felt cathartic.
Doesn't need to be a life or death situation, just any moment in your life where you found yourself saying "Holy shit, I can't believe this is happening!"
How do you get into wild camping, it seems so overwhelming and a lot of information to try and gather?
So, I’ve really started to make some large changes to my life after many years of being a degenerate and all my money going on smoking weed and doing other drugs with friends etc.
It all started when I got diagnosed with ADHD, got medicated, since stopped as the cons were worse than the pros now I’m on a good track, re-trained as a software developer and have been in my first role a year and I’m late 30’s now.
Weed was the last thing to quit and it’s been almost a month and I’m finally able to do all the things I could never afford. Bought a nice watch and booked a session for a sleeve tattoo I’ve always wanted.
I still need something to focus on to keep me happy and I love being out in nature and just milling about, but I’m a city kid, north UK, so really don’t know anything about surviving outside; but I want to go out for weekends and see the stars and just explore and be self sufficient.
It all just seems so overwhelming and I have no clue where to start. I’ve been watching YouTube videos and still it seems so overwhelming. My plan is to start purchasing everything you would need with a view to start from April next year but I honestly don’t know where to begin. What do I buy, which tents should I be looking at, how do I learn about water supplies I can drink from, what about cooking; can I make bacon and eggs for instance, what sleeping bags, cookers, backpacks, shoes, etc.
The list goes on and on and I guess I’m just looking for good resources to consume over the next 10 months to make sure I can go out and be safe, considerate, and not a burden on anybody else.
Thanks for any tips you can provide.
Edit: I have a lot of comments here to reply to, but I’m pretty sleepy right now so will reply to you all tomorrow. Thanks.
Veritasium's new video on Jumping Spiders is having its sponsor Better Help on blast in the top comments. Should we hold content creators to account?
Should we stop supporting them with our eyes for taking sponsorships from shady companies?
Edit: I took my first step and unsubscribed from the channel and I will continue to withhold my viewership to those that don’t take better care of the viewers.
Likely doesn’t matter, but I’m on a roll of not giving my money to companies that are immoral so why not do the same with my eyes.
As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music?
As an example. I grew up in hip-hop but at a certain point I stopped listening to new people and realised recently that I’d slept on some bangers. Like Kendrick particularly, but even people like Juice WRLD and Xxxtentacion.
The same for the Kendrick and Drake (the nonce) beef which has given some rabbit holes to go down.
So I’m wondering what I can do to keep in the loop with my younger brothers and sisters?
Is it something as simple as watching trending videos on YouTube (somtheing I’ve never done) or are there people to follow etc. I don’t like Twitter though so hopefully it’s not that.
Edit: Man I got so many replies. You guys are awesome. I am going to work my way through them all today, but I’m hella tired and off to work so may take a while. I will reply to you all.
Edit part deux: God damn I think I got all the replies.
Is any body able to provide some advice to help my friend through a bad patch?
So I’m a bit of a degenerate but making better choices lately and sort of getting things on track.
My friend had some health issues and had to stop working, my other friend now does all the labour, and he just runs the business.
He then split with his partner who he has children, as frankly he would never be at home and it was always going to happen.
I just found out the health condition has gotten worse and he will have to lose a leg. He never improved his diet, kept hitting the coke hard and gambling. So recently he has gambled away £35,000 and had a breakdown with another friend.
How do I even be there for him and keep him on a good path, providing he is open to change.
I just heard about Brazilian Butt Lifts which is a procedure where they take fat deposits from somewhere on your body and place it in your butt?
My question is once this procedure has been completed and say the person really got into some heavy cardio and thus were burning a lot of fat would the body be able to burn the fat that was moved to the buttocks or does it not have the associated blood vessels to enable this?
I’m not even sure if that’s how lipids are metabolised, but I assume it’s through the blood.
What would happen if every atom on earth was to simultaneously double in size?
As an extra one, what would happen if one in every 10 atoms was to vanish from existence.
What’s this bug?
I added links to three images in a comment and it only renders one, has an infinite scroll of black, and crashes the app.
I can submit on GitHub if preferred.
Can you separate the art from the artist?
As the title says, I am wondering if people are able to separate the art from the antics of the artist.
The reason I ask, is I wrote Kanye West off many years ago, that and me drifting away from Hip-Hop for a minute means I never heard MBDTF.
MBDTF -> My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Well, I’ve been on a hip-hop trend again and decided to listen to something other than UK Drill and go back to the states. I wanted to listen to the most critically acclaimed albums, and Kanye was first. Next is Kendrick.
OMG. What an album MBDTF is. Like out of this world for production value. I need to listen a few times to focus on the substance but god damn every track is a banger.
Nobody IRL gives a shit so thought I’d ask here.
Looking for advice as a junior software developer
As the title say I am looking for some advice.
I’m almost 6 months into my first role and it really isn’t what I expected.
I’m late thirties and always had an interest in tech, but personal circumstances and a late start in life left me unsure if I was good enough.
I did too many boot camps and in all them they discussed how in your first role you would get lots of support to help develop your skills.
I work for a small company < 10. I don’t feel I get the support I expected.
A lot of time the spec is kept in the lead engineers (owners) head and when given a task I get no timeframe, the task is given verbally with 100 words when I need 1000 words. It’s confusing to understand their vision so I’ll do something and either be told great or no that’s completely wrong.
If wrong I’m not called out and they will spend a little more time going over what they want.
The boss is always so busy that sometimes you feel like a burden asking for pointers.
The tech stack is great but as a mature company they have refined the process over numerous projects and the newest will start as a copy of the last one, keeping all the shared hooks and stuff, so naturally it’s second nature to them and I feel stupid.
I guess my question is is this normal and how do I write an email expressing these concerns and to gauge how I am doing?
As an aside, there is no remote work and no headphones in the office, even though nobody really talks about work that often. So when is a good time to start looking for your second role.
I feel like I flip between I am a god and can code anything and omg I know nothing show me the nearest bridge.
Thanks.
