Also looking forward to this week here. Work from home is awesome! I just spent a month and a half on a cross-country (USA) road trip while working the whole time. I’m fortunate for the opportunity to do so–and to visit and crash with friends and family along the way–but I am glad to be home.

My wife and I towed a 5’ x 8’ U-haul trailer the 2,000+ miles back home from FL to CO, moving our friend’s stuff in so he can live with us for a while (he drove back with us in his own car). A really awesome trip in a lot of respects, but stressful to take meetings and try to program on the go. Learned my lesson: two weeks max for a trip like that, or take the PTO.

Am I one of the few who just doesn’t use AI at all? I don’t have to generate tons of code for work at the moment and brand new projects that I’ve been given are small–meaning I wouldn’t necessarily use it to generate starter boilerplate. I have coworkers that love copilot or spend much longer prompting ChatGPT than they would if they wrote code themselves. A majority of my time is spent modelling the problem, gathering rejuirements, researching others’ solutions online (likely this step could be better AI-assisted?), not actually implementing a solution in code.

Anyway, I’m not super anti-AI in software development, and I see where it could be useful. Maybe it just isn’t for me yet. The current hype around it as well as the attitude of big-tech exceptionalism (“AI can salve all our problems”) feels a bit like a bubble, at least regarding the current generation of LLMs and ML

My wife got me onto a comedy podcast called Bananas on the This is Exactly Right network–it’s usually really funny. We both also like Dungeons & Daddies which is a Dungeons and Dragons improv comedy type podcast. Just lay in bed and laugh

I thought the same and just rolled with it. What was the whole jean thing anyway?

Feel exactly this… Sometimes you just still want one randomly. But 99.999% of the time do not think about it at all anymore

  • I turned my old desktop into a home server, which let me cancel some streaming services… and I set up an rpi4 as a kodi server.
  • Signed up for Firefox Relay (had a holiday sale) to have email masks and a proxy phone number, which should help with spam & marketing crap.
  • Stopped using Reddit in favor of lemmy (which I hope to contribute to this year)
  • Gonna have to find a replacement for mint, since it’s dying this month

Thank you for this chuckle hehe

What do you mean by “doesn’t read from the same directory”? Is part of your application’s function to read in data from files in your project’s directory tree?

Without seeing the directory structure of your project, or some more actual code samples its hard to understand how to help 😅

First time correlating a crash to a CME (probably Bit-Flip/SEU)

I’ve been running my most recent Server built for quite some time now. I think Uptime was somewhere around 5 Months. Absolutely flawless. A few Days ago i started to have issues. Hard-Locks, Freezing…but absolutely zero log entries. Nothing. The Server was built with “off the shelf” Hardware and no ECC (even though the...

That is amazing! Now, I need to see about using weather satellites to explain the bugs in my code at work…

I booted up that system and after waiting an hour or so for Windows Update to finish

Crazy workstation though – wish I had need for all that power so I could justify buying one to play with

Ahh I missed that!

Makes more sense then – that seemed a bit long for any update

regexlearn.com is interactive to get you started.

Then try reading maybe the python regex docs for more detailed info. There are multiple flavors of regex as well, which makes it even more confusing (yay), but you’ll eventually grok it enough to make it a part of your toolbox! I use simple regex frequently for search/replace (VScode or vim), and in the shell.

For more complex string parsing operations, there’s often a faster/better method than regex, but it’s really good to know.

I am on book of the Mechwarrior: Dark Age BattleTech novels. Not high literature or anything, just sci-fi and big robots with lasers! The setting and technology is interesting, and there are several different authors who wrote the series. The changing writing styles and voices switch things up enough to keep me reading.

Love your username—I really wish Jim Butcher would finish the final Dresden books! The Mechwarrior: Dark Age novels can be read without the other ones I think…

A friend has recommended both the Blood of Kerensky and Gray Death Legion trilogies in the BattleTech series—which should be standalone?—and I’m looking forward to reading them as well!

Me and my brother would sit in the magazine aisle at the grocery store and pore over Nintendo Power like it was a religious text lol

Also, you just made me remember getting all those demo discs with PlayStation magazine

I used RedReader for many years. It’s one of the few apps that was given an accessibility exclusion, but I still don’t want to get back on Reddit. Now I’m currently trying out Connect, Liftoff, Jerboa, and others to see which I like the best for Lemmy.

Laziness so far haha but yes that’s a good plan

Helix + zellij huh? I’ll definitely try it out

Yes I’ve used rename! In my case, I just need to rename and reorganize a bunch of movies & associated metadata files into directories. I don’t have too many stored digitally now, so I think just shaving the yak and doing it manually via file share will work for now.

Never been an emacs user… Seems like quite a rabbit hole

I’ll look into sequelize! Also, we are undergoing a training right now. I have some previous experience from $lastJob with k8s, but I’m sure my knowledge is out of date so glad to be doing it.
