I like to use the monorepo tools without the monorepo repo. If that makes any god damn sense. I use NX at my job and the monorepo was getting out of hand, 6 hour pipeline builds, 2 hours testing, etc. So I broke the repo into smaller pieces. This wouldn't have been possible if I wasn't already using the monorepo tools universally through the project but it ended up working well.

I have this. When it first started I thought there were like secret gang wars going on in my apartment complex. I would wake up hearing a BANG. I called 911 a couple of time even thinking it was gunshots, but they police said no one else heard anything. I started asking my neighbors if they had heard it too. That's when I started to realize that I was hearing things. I talked to my doctor and that's when I learned about exploding head syndrome.

I bought the original kickstarter version of the oculus. I was very excited about the whole VR thing taking off. Ultimately though it was a very nauseating experience. It got so bad that the smell of the headset's cushion was enough to trigger nausea without even putting it on my face. I've heard the newer stuff is less nauseating but I don't want to know.

Clearly in the before times, prior to the madness setting in.

You know what else bothers me. If I hover over a thumbnail for a video, that now counts as a view and gets added to my history. Clogging up my feed with more algorithmic horseshit I don't want to watch. I'm thinking of just using nebula because I mostly watch science videos and I'm tired of the algo inserting shit I'm not the least bit interested in.

Jira is one of those tools where infinite configurability leads to infinite complexity.

I saw this on hackaday 43 seconds to crack bitlocker is pretty badass.

I find I have to end up searching though time in order to get the results I want. Especially as a developer. A bug that has the same error 8 years ago may not be the same bug now. So I tell google to only show results for the last year and tada I get what I want. Usually.

Setting aside safety concerns

Nuclear is the safest energy source per kilo of fuel mined and spent.

El Nino has a lot to do with snow pack. I don't know where you are at but from the Vail Basin to Keystone that usually means less snow. Anecdotally of course, that is just my own experience over the last 30 years of skiing here in CO.

I think a lot of non-tech events like D&D/running/board games/birdwatching/crafts/etc. now have left Meetup or never were there. I see a lot of these types of events promoted on Instagram and sometimes Facebook, because there's a bigger audience there. There are still some on my local Meetup, though.

Perhaps that's why I no longer see them, I've deleted most of my social media so I don't have access to FB or IG for events.

Ditto, all the interesting things are gone and the only active groups are "Interesting Singles in their 20s and 30s" No more PUGs for D&D and board games. No tech meetups either.

I miss delicious.

I was just listening to an NPR story about heat pumps, they act like a refrigerator in reverse.

I want to buy one, I just can't afford one.

> First do it

POC code doesn't belong as a permanent codebase.

> then do it right

Sounds like your codebase will have a lot of hyped, now-dead, trends-of-the-moment frameworks while your team keeps arguing what's "right".

Doing it right should include a framework. I'd rather use a framework that is dead in a month than write 10s of 1000s lines of boilerplate to make my own. ASP.NET and Spring come to mind as modern reliable frameworks. Even angular is reliable even if not popular.

> then do it better

Sounds like your codebase will have a lot of rewrite in the new hyped, now-yet-dead, trends-of-the-moment frameworks while actual business logic will be ignored.

Code should be considered disposable when it has outlived its usefulness. Even if that requires a rewrite. I've maintained classic asp websites and I have rewritten them in modern frameworks. Projects are not immutable. They are only as useful as they are until they are not. Then they die or get rewritten.

This has been one of my mantras since I started as a software developer.

I agree, give everyone a session cookie with an encrypted session id, store JWTs in the http context for the session, make the cookie unreadable by js. If you need to read the properties from the token make an endpoint for that. For god's sake stop giving out the JWTs directly to the client.

It took me years to realize that weed was giving me anxiety instead of helping it. Later when it became legal in my state I bought some and my god did it go poorly. The stuff they make in the stores are so strong and because of my nonexistent tolerance after a decade of abstinence I ended up with a panic attack so bad it bordered on a psychotic episode. I will never smoke again.

Seems like the prettiest girl at the dance.

Is water the only wet thing? Because when I'm drying my liquid solvents I'm only removing the water. Is 100% ethanol still "wet?"

Surprising. I bought a 2015 RAV4 used in 2017. It still had the factory battery, I didn't have to replace that until last year when it finally bit the dust. I think that's the longest I've ever had a factory battery last on a car.

As a C# guy I liked NestJS as well. Like some of the things he describes as hating are the things I liked about it. I wrote a whole ass SAML server in NestJS, it was one of my favorite projects. NestJS is more than just GraphQL.

what about selfhosters who need to use a dynamic dns which is best for that?

Sadly my insurance declined coverage.

not only that but fb wont reset my password unless i upload a pic of my face

Probably the biggest thing Austin seemed to have going for it is the combo of tech+diversity+what seem to be outdoor activities.

Try Denver.

"Agile is a cult." Is a refrain I've had for a few years. I don't mean like the agile process, I mean the agile culture. I went to an agile conference for work and the things they talked about were just really really dumb, I swear they almost professed that agile could cure cancer.

I feel like Colorado is creeping up there in terms of costs comparable to California. I'm disappointed rent control keeps failing to pass committee, they bumped my rent 12.5% this year. I didn't get a 12.5% pay increase, I can tell you that.
