Google Docs is the worst IDE ever

BGP isnt just Turing complete, It’s Cthulhu complete

real men write their code one bit at a time with a laser pointer and a fiber optic network cable

Or you could just use zig which is better at compiling C than C (the second it supports the espressif chips I’m never touching C again)

I get very far by just keeping a set of folders for each piece of equipment in a git repo.

Pictures, etc, and sometimes the PDF manual if I bother.

The difficult part here is being consistent over time - making sure you mark down when you bought things, serial numbers, etc. a proper website/app will force you to do this, but there is flexibility in having whatever convention you like most

DOGE is not meant to cut spending. It is to systemically root out opposition within the executive branch and promote the business interests of Trump, Musk, and their cadre.

This is a distraction to keep you occupied while they do something far worse.

Throughout my career, I have used (in no particular order)

• Eclipse (as Android Studio)
• IntelliJ (as Android Studio)
• SublimeText
• VS Code
• IntelliJ (as IntelliJ)
• various CLI editors when sshing into servers (vim, nano, a few others)

Switching your muscle memory takes a long time, which is why you have things like spacemacs, or different keybind presets for almost all of these editors.

There is more value in understanding how to extend and customize your editor than in searching for a new one. Use whatever your workplace provides the best support for, and then customize it from there.

I don’t think we’re having the same conversation.

This EO is about going back over the visa documents for people who entered legally and reviewing them based on a changed standard.

The article is badly written with a sensationalized headline. The EO is written in standard legalese, and only related tangentially to the article. H1Bs likely don’t need to worry too much, but postdocs on that visa who went to a protest may need to reconsider their political activity. The fact that CAIR is quoted should give you a hint as to how this EO is expected to be applied - towards international students on F1 visas - specifically those who have taken part of campus demonstrations involving symbols from foreign terrorist organizations (Hamas flag, Hezbollah flags, etc).

Beyond that, it may be used as a stick against postdocs working on politically charged topics like climate change.

Understanding the context and motivations of the administration is critical in planning how to survive the next four years.

Ignore it at your own peril.

So the actual EO doesn’t call out H1B at all, so I’m guessing this is sensationalized as H1B is the most “visible” visa in recent news.

The context for this is likely the Moroccan national who recently committed a terror attack in Israel. He had a green card and that was supposedly part of the decision to grant him entry as a tourist to Israel.

That having been said, this will likely result in some international students getting deported whether deserved or not. Semi-intended consequences is what I’d call them.

Clearly your gender field is a boolean. Which means it can be either true, false, null, or undefined. Except in javascript where for some reason it can sometimes be NaN, but only when you try to compare two people.

I think you’re over exaggerating the effort needed for tagging resources. Between terraform/pulumi/cdk and the tag tool, it’s relatively easy to make sure everything is tagged. Doubly so if you have a finance department who’s literal job is to go through and do that (or ask you for help with it)

You can get a full itemized bill. The only thing that isn’t fully broken out are elastic ips. We found that out because we were tagging everything for billing and those weren’t showing up correctly.

Mind you, it’s likely a bit more itemized than you want. Like you’ll see a separate line item for each price tier you paid for something, and things like ebs disks are all split out. It can be a bit…much.

When I was a young dev
My senior took me into the city
To push my code to prod
He said "Son, when you promo
Would you be the savior of the broken
The buggy and the OOM'd?"

Sir, this is Lemmy.

My immediate thought is that Klinger will be happy.

Trump’s legacy will be long term damage to national security, rampant racism and discrimination, and widespread corruption.

Once upon a time, I accidentally created a folder named “~” in my home folder (the company provided scripting framework would inconsistently expand variables, so the folder had a ton of stuff inside it).

I ran “rm -rf ~” and only panicked when I started to wonder why it wasn’t taking too long.

Good news is that it only managed to get halfway through my local checkout of aosp before I stopped it. Bad news was that it nuked most of my dotfiles.

The original article smelled wrong when they claimed to have broken AES. Thankfully, Bruce Schneier is far more authoritative than I ever will be and gives a short and succinct list of links to debunkings of this.

Those young machine spirits need their rest
