The Synology End Game 11 months ago

Truenas (linux) has been like that for me. Repurposed my last pc, added a pci-e sas/sata card, add 8 hdd's. Installed it 2 years ago and its been auto updating and i have been hardly having to deal with it, at most an hour a month to check the status and maybe add or remove some docker container stuff thats running on there.

I think the trick is keep generating the code from your configuration on regular basis, if not every build. Is what we used to do with generating code for our front-end based on entities in Java decade ago. With enough test coverage for testing correctness.

The new Casio DW-H5600 has solar charging and amazingly long battery life. I was pretty anti-smartwatch but i like g-shock squares and ended up getting it been surprisingly good.

What does a wechat token look like, as in can i scan my repo to see if i do not leak anything unwanted to wechat?

That said, could one also generate tokens and essentially DDOS the wechat org by having them inform their customers unnecessarily?

We had a local amazon competitor that opened up its store to chinese sellers too, and it shows. Basically the same garbage fake products end up on searches for brand name products. I don't get why the real stores using them for selling next to their own still do? Also the main company skirts liability and returns and acts like its not their problem.

I have landed a software development gig working for my countries government. Pay is good, especially for the low work stress, 36 hour workweek and 6 weeks of PTO. Finding the right employer really helped me get out of rat race.

Can someone explain to me, i live in a country that doesn't have credit scores, limits loans rates to something sane, why you would use a predatory payment lender that will balloon? Seems like a very high risk gamble especially if you have the money and even higher gamble if you do not have the ability to pay a loan.

In all the situations i have had to work on microservices it generally means the team just works on all the different services, now spread out over more applications. Doing more integration work vs actual business logic. Because the fancy microservices the architect wanted doesn't mean there's actually money to do it properly or even have an ops team.

Also for junior team members a lot of this stuff works via magic because they can't yet oversee where the boundaries are or do not understand all the automagically configuration stuff.

Also the amount of works on my machine with docker is staggering even if the developers laptop's are the same batch / imaged machine.

Back to Linux 5 years ago

Was it a HP by any chance. I got a Zbook and its the first laptop in more than a decade i can't get to work with linux. Starting 20 or so docker containers with docker compose kills something and makes it freeze / lock up.

I didn't think it was hard not to be compatible i suppose HP tried their best.

Most of the commercial consulting companies i worked for found investing in their staff a waste of resources because they can walk away when they know something, yet wanted you to stumble around and be ineffective when using new technologies, mostly because that time was billable to a customer. Learning was after hours.

I work for a government organization now and they have a yearly budget for courses and access to some of the large course platforms and the requirement to spend 4 hours a week on it during work hours/ on company time.

Northern European male: Maybe, sort of depends on what kind of contract you have. If you get equity or have social plan / profit sharing good and fair healthcare and other secondary benefits like education and leave and there is the ability to carve a career path and the other side is supportive i would be more receptive to not bail for greener pastures at the first downturn or setback. Its reasonably hard to fire people here tough.

Bailing on any of the above and not holding their end i have moved to another job before.

Without any security like you would have in at will states in usa i would not be loyal at all, if they can fire you they can stuff it too when i dont think its going at its best.

I think slacking is maybe not the right term, i see a lot of people who are fed up with the pointlessness of their work and they are just going trough the motions to get the paycheck. Also why feel any loyalty towards a company goal when that company can kick you out at any time.

Took 6 months off to take care for a family member, did not do any looking for a job but walked into one for a lot more pay and no more crunch / pressure at work. Also feels more useful than anything i did before. Took it since i could combine it with caring for that family member.

I spend my days without job doing fun projects and making toy programs for myself improving the skills i wanted too instead of just another crud application that was pointless.

If you have nothing too do you do feel like you are wasting your days. especially if you have a hard deadline.

How is the latency between systems? I currently use a mixer to mix multiple pcs into my headphone for working at home and my home pc and game pc.

If the latency is good enough i would rather isolate these systems instead of using a mixer and deal with all the ground loop issues i have.

How do people build recommendation engines?

Poorly, its either shovel so much shit against a wall to see what sticks (youtube) or you sorta watched this for 10 minutes to see if you liked it but you didn't but here is more (netflix).

Curated lists made by humans are still nicer.
