These remind me of the cyanogenmod days where youre rom was AOSP or CM based and nearly every variant was CM based.

Ironically I have recently transitioned to a TL role because my org has slowed senior IC salaries but keeps increasing management salaries.

I am in the infosec space and do a lot of reading, summarizing of code and a vuln PoC here and there in my day job. Over a busy month I may put out 400-500 LoC.

In my personal life, I am making tools to support hobbies. I typically tackle architecture and design myself and sanity check with an LLM, then Codex does all the programming work.

I'm more interested in making sure the apps I make have the content I want and functionally meets my needs than actually writing the code myself. Making fine detail tweaks are not something I need to do past review and pointing them out to to the LLM.

I had a similar path and never came back to JS until work forced me to learn. To me, it has only gotten more readable.

Great project! I often check the opinion of one model against others when doing research and a sort of consensus process would save many a c/p

Womens basketball viewership across college, pro and semi pro levels is significantly more popular than equivalent womens soccer levels. Non-USWNT games are surprisingly hard to locate and stream.

Not OP but velocity is typically what these devices are used for. Its a great measure of between-set intensity.

Why so many different devices? (Assuming this is the only reason there could be this much sprawl)

Device based strength tracking is still so weird to me.

I dont think it matters at all to OP. Sidestepping the insult, it sounds like they very, very much want to tools that support their needs only, methodology be damned.

It is so wonderful to hear someone else say this. My spouse and friends think In so weird for emphasizing optimizing your diet for things that digest well, macro dense and give you good shits. I am quietly pleased when my own looks completely normal and uninteresting.

I do lots of fed cloud work and im stealing this comment to use during the next conversation around why on-prem DoD PKI is now a huge PIA.

My spouse has expressed this nearly verbatim after transitioning out of a 16 year career in middle and grade school education to medical curriculum development. It was hell on her mental health but at least there was a clear motivation and purpose for being there.

I recently completed my annual job market heat check and after spending months securing only 5 interviews, I will be clinging to my (mostly) remote job for the foreseeable future. It seems the differentiator between those who get them now are people doing principal and higher level work.

My statement wasnt a literal reflection of software and data protection controls. Youre free to explore those mentioned.

Of course, is this a serious question?

HIPAA is one of the few that makes clear the types of data (PHI and PII) that come under the frameworks purview during development which makes masking mandatory for non-production environments. Other frameworks families, NIST RMF, FedRAMP and CMMC very much care about software development practices in depth.

I have yet to see anyone, my family included, that actually seemed to enjoy parenting. I know for a fact my father was ready to run to the middle east shortly after I was born, my brother was a total accident and not terribly wanted either. As a result we’ve never been close my parents and I…why would I want to be a parent after that? I have no desire to live a life a child would require either.

Ironically, Reddit and my doc were the only ones saying anything about risks. Shes got me on a strict blood panel eval for trt and bpc to monitor for any issues. I got really lucky with her, MANY clinics will just sell and ask questions later.

Im aware from the BPC research from the last few years. No history of cancer.

Several ligament tears and general wear from sports. A very low dose taken daily.

While we are in the minority, Zenni and many online optical shops recently decided they will not make you glasses if your prescription is over a certain power. In 2025 I broke $800 on frames+lenses and contacts.

I would silly things to hold onto a steady supply of pentadeca arginate. It has completely eliminated lingering effects of joint and ligament injury and has enabled me to exercise like a normal person. If you have the money it is very easy to acquire a year or twos worth from multiple sources.

I was 347lbs at the time. Wasnt a diabetic (nor pre-diabetic) no heart disease, blood pressure or really anything other than my weight. Prior to then Id had two massive bouts of weight loss at 50-100lbs so I know what it takes. Id tried but this last time without meds was extremely hard. You cant do much in the way of productive exercise when both your shoulders need replacement at 30 and between two knees have an ACL tear and two MCL tears. To top it off I had wildly out of whack hormones.

It was infuriating trying to get Wegovy via insurance. My doctor made three appeals, all denied. Out of pocket it wouldve been $1600/mo. Ive been getting semaglutide from compounding pharmacies for the last year and half for $149-$200. I have lost 97lbs, come back to running 30 miles a week after several major knee injuries made even a mile jog a multiday recovery effort. I absolutely get the regulatory stance but the name brands are absolutely unaffordable.

Things like biometrics and hardware keys make this an easy fix - were they a consideration?

What a profoundly ignorant comment, at least it obvious you didnt try to see who it was you were listening to.

I dont know if youre referring to his music as "his work" - quite the opposite, we have a lot!

His family recently began releasing many albums on Bandcamp. Ive been a fan for awhile and this is likely the best collection youll find online : https://felakuti.bandcamp.com/

The Best of the Black President is a good place to start. Dive in! Fela is the godfather of Afrobeat and highlife.

Old optiplex’es sff or not idled between 15w and 30w. Id aim for sff’s specifically. I have run an ftp server for lab iso’s on a very old android phone - not fun.

I forgot all about these after I stopped doing desktop support, thanks!

I find myself a bit overwhelmed with hardware options during recent explorations. Seemingly everything can handle what I want a local copy of my Bandcamp archive to stream via jellyfin. Good times we’re in but even having good sysadmin skills, I wish someone would just tell me exactly what to buy.
