Why is the connection not pre-allocated? Establishing a new connection in a hot path burns precious milliseconds.

Also is it not being disposed? Dunno if this has garbage collection.

Your company is paying for:

Silver lining 1: Imposter syndrome treatment for you

Silver lining 2: On the job training in soft leadership skills. Take notes and build a couple stories for future interviews. You can interview for lead positions in the future.

Most fake news isn't fake and isn't news.

It's spin.

People spin facts to create the narrative they want to sell. Spin too hard and it's noticable.

How the hell do you effectively legislate that.

@Demolishun actual financial report says very different, see earnings call.

Where are you that you make 1/4 USA minimum wage yet a haircut still costs that much?

Also don't forget hidden costs: your pay rate is for you, after the costs of business are paid for. That was removed before your paycheck.

You are not paying your barber directly, you are paying their business. They will spend some of that on rent, utilities, benefits, etc, before taking gone the rest. And that can be a deep cut.

Don't forget to claim your complementary rubber duck

Recycled jokes from forwarded email chains in the 90s are now delivered as a video of text poorly cropped over an overstimulating background image.

30 years of hardware and software advances, totally worth it

TikTok has become YouTube style content but condensed and focused on recommendations over browsing.

YouTube shorts pay way better. TikTok pays shit.

@electrineer I did a deep dive and I'm 99% sure it's unsupported. Time to escalate.

@max19931 an exaggeration. I don't know the actual number.

If typescript sends you to hell, the devil is JavaScript

@horus yeah! Choosing between describing the content vs its function is always a tricky trade-off.

I've done a gazillion code reviews and TBH any of these could be legit.

Senior devs are way more concerned about code health because it all comes back on their head eventually.

Although, yeah, some can be egotistical jerks.

@MantisToboggan outside the control of the line managers. They feel the same pain I am.

I can't imagine dealing with the "organic" bullshit of truthiness, variable hosting, and callback hell, barely getting shot to work on a browser, then thinking "if only my server had the same problems!"

No one would reinvent JavaScript. It's only liked because it's supported everywhere.

I am indifferent to both hate and attempts to be counter culture.

I optimize for me and me alone.

Doom can truly run on anything

@Lensflare My tests included a non-trivial dependency stub, which should be tested to ensure it stubs correctly.

Design your algorithms carefully, because people will discover and follow incentives you didn't even know were there.

Push it?

Shove it?

In addition to your own router, also set it up for DNS-over-HTTPS so your ISP doesn't still hijack DNS requests.

(I don't know how common this is anymore, but scummy ISPs have tried everything.)

Probably the kind of raw story they need to hear TBH. Better than generic motivational speaker.

It's handy for niches. Those tend to be more about people enjoying a thing and less about hivemind hiveminding as hard as possible.

Create an account and unsub from all of the default subs. Maybe a couple are worth keeping, but just nuke it all to start.

Find fun hobbies with medium-sized community. r/lego, r/onebag, r/ultralight, etc.

Find a couple meme subs that are to your liking. Reddit is still at the front of image-based memes.

Find a couple for your profession. r/coding, r/golang, etc. Again, avoid the big ones.

Plot twist: You interviewed at your own startup.

SQL's functionally is fine.

The SQL language itself (aka, the EBNF spec) is easy to read but horrible to write and should be replaced with something that has a more intuitive structure, IMO.

Social media and tech skew young. Half of Blind is lies and the other half is mid-20s leveraging anonymity to inflict their ignorance on the world.

@dontbeevil Yes, those apps implement standards and can be used interchangeably. I've moved my accounts between them to test them out.
