Even that is not a full guarantee, as you may develop an incurable disorder, or even be born with one.

It is a great way to minimize the throughgoing though.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Life is unfair to landlords⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
Not all my life, nor even that major a city (just under 100k population), but that’s where the jobs are. If I were to move to Sweden it would probably be Göteborg to work at Volvo, or Stockholm to work at some tech company. As a foreigner I don’t know the language or the tech job scene enough to pull off some small town.

I was actually born in a much smaller town, bored as hell as a teenager, my peers’ (obviously not everyone, but a lot of kids) daytime activities included booze, drugs and crime. Pretty much everyone escaped after high school, many after middle school. That’s not the kind of environment I prefer living in. The ~100k population range is decent, there’s places to go, things to do, it’s walkable (since we’re in Europe, not US), but if you want to drive out of the city, it’s 10 minutes to the city limit and then you’re gone.

Now if there’s a decent tech scene in like Jönkoping or Lund or somewhere, I’d be delighted to hear about that. But for the most part, those aren’t places you hear about, nor do they pop out much in job search sites. I’m not picky either, I don’t need to work at some big megacorp, a promising startup with an interesting product would be better even.

I’m not looking to move in the next few years anyway, but Sweden is a country I’m interested in, as is Norway.

I know, but los isn’t a verb unlike go. In other languages I speak, modal verbs like müssen are followed (not necessarily immediately but before the sentence is over) by the main verb in its infinitive form. E.g “ich muss gehen” would sound normal to me, but “ich muss mal” or “ich muss los” sound funny despite knowing it’s completely normal.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Diese Gemeinde ist nun Eigentum der Bundesrepublik Deutschland⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
Trying to translate Bruder muss los literally word for word is also hilarious because to me it sounds like “I must away” but then German isn’t my native language (neither is English, but I like to think I understand it at a slightly higher level than my A2/B1 German lol)

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Search GTA 6 Requirements⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
I think everyone wants to make good software, except upper level management that only cares about the money. But in some companies, your boss or your boss’s boss has some kind of feature roadmap and they get their asses chewed off if that is not met.

I honestly think most people WANT to do good work. But ain’t nobody going to work overtime to deliver a better product with unreasonable timelines. Not unless there’s a heavy stock option plan and you’re in a startup where your input actually changes things.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android updates: thanks I hate it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
To your edit: that’s one of top 3 reasons I moved to iOS and while there are annoyances, overall I’ve been happy with it for 3 years. Not suggesting everyone should switch but if you’re tired of tinkering, it’s a good option.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Search GTA 6 Requirements⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
When possible, use open source software that isn’t developed by commercial entities (yes that also disqualifies all real browsers available - maybe Ladybird will be different? But then the specs themselves for the web are so bloated it takes too long to implement them and you have to cut corners).

Thing with for-profit development is that micro-optimizations don’t make fiscal sense. Say it takes 10 seconds for an API call. That’s too long if it’s supposed to be an interactive website! You spend 4 hours getting 9 seconds off by improving multiple problematic methods. Now the next 900 milliseconds? Maybe that’ll take you 10 hours. Fun? Absolutely, I live for that shit. But in most commercial environments this would be considered a waste of time because I could spend it doing something more impactful.

And anything being twice as fast or memory efficient is usually not noticeable. If you’re going to optimize something, it should be at least an order of magnitude. Therefore everything but low hanging fruits often gets ignored. Usually it’s a case of reconsidering your data structures to be able to use better algorithms, or reconsidering the business requirements to get rid of some processing that could be avoided. The former requires architectural insight not every developer has, plus agreement among devs. The latter may require outright navigating office politics to get product team to drop some low business impact feature requirement that has high impact on performance.

Duckduckgo and bangs. Or just add search keywords to your browser.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anthropic launches Claude web search API, betting on the future of post-Google information access⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
I’m too lazy to find the article (google the man who ruined google search, think it was ed zitron’s blog) but TL;DR they made the key metric for search users something like ad impressions per search or something, whereas it used to be how fast you found what you were looking for. It was a deliberate decision, so I’d say ‘simply’ may just be the word here.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Watch Shipments’ Continuous Decline⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Everyone who actually owns one says they’re keeping theirs for years and see no need to upgrade, but go on.

You have a valid point if you say this for all smart watches though. None will last half a century like a proper watch.

I mean soon as you add the book, it’s an entirely different proposition because now you have entertainment, so you’re traveling like a sane person.

Though personally I don’t know if I could concentrate with the noise. ANC and podcast for me, I’ll just accept that I’m less cultured.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla bait-and-switch: Cybertruck owners won't get Autosteer feature they paid for⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Cybertruck isn’t allowed in the EU anyway so our regulatory agencies and courts have no power over it. Plus they could just enable it in EU and keep disabled in US if there was a verdict in the EU court system that they have to honor their original terms.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Skype was shut down for good today⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Skype didn’t fumble it, Microsoft just doesn’t know how to strategy. When they bought Skype, they killed MSN and told people to move to Skype, whereas they should’ve integrated the two to make the transition seamless. Then they had both Teams and Skype for Business at the same time by the time COVID happened.

They messed up on every turn.

He’s the quintessential cowboy. If you’re making a movie with a cowboy character and he’s not interested in the role, might as well ditch the character.

He’s the narrator in The Big Lebowski and he’s also the dad in The Ranch.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wolf Reboot⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Well I for syre learned in school that our ancestors called wolves the nurses of the forest. In our culture anyway. They’re very important because by hunting old and sickly animals preferentially instead of killing indiscriminately, they improve the overall health of populations of other animals like deer or elk. Obviously it’s also not great for any population to get too large because they’ll destroy their own food supply. Again, release the wolves.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can't pay rent because devs just don't care⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
MacOS has weirdly fast paging and shit, you don’t feel the lack of RAM immediately. But in the long run it’ll kill your (also soldered) SSD so that’s even worse for heavy users.

I think phone apps have more to play with as well nowadays. A Galaxy A55 can have 12 gigs of RAM now. That used to be considered overkill for even flagships, let alone midrange phones, just a few years ago. Plus both operating systems will suspend apps running in the background when needed.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can't pay rent because devs just don't care⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Also the only time I’ve heard “memory is cheap” used IRL was in backend development. Because it’s cheap to scale up memory on your servers, but not cheap to spend a day or 2 hyperoptimizing a solution that’s fast enough. Dev time is expensive.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can't pay rent because devs just don't care⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

if you make your payment processing website unusable on 3 year old mid-range Android because adding 10 MB more Javascript increases ✨Development Velocity✨, there’s a special place in hell for you.

Look, I hate bloated websites too (in fact I hate most websites in general, give me a native desktop app that doesn’t use Electron or Webview!), but if a 3 year old midrange Android gives you trouble loading things, maybe blame the manufacturer. I flashed a custom rom on a 2019 Oneplus 7 Pro and it’s super fast now compared to the last version of the official ROM that it got. It’s my secondary device. Primary is an iPhone that’s 2 years old and showing any signs of slowing down.

Wake me up when there’s a system out there where I don’t need money to buy a home or go on vacation somewhere warm when it’s -30 outside. Unfortunately I don’t have a trust fund, so for now it’s work rather than drinking every day and tons of extremely shallow friendships. To be clear, I’m not saying I don’t have friends, I’m just saying I no longer have hundreds of people on Facebook I could just randomly message “what’s up” to without it being considered weird. Now it’s down to maybe 10-20 people who would help me hide a body if I called them at 3 AM.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Ah, personally I just figured I’d use wireguard. I have few enough users that a bit of setup isn’t a huge issue. No way I’d want to expose it completely publicly, same with any other home servers I run.

The public availability without open ports is indeed a strength of Plex.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mark Zuckerberg Thinks You Don't Have Enough Friends and His Chatbots Are the Answer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
The one and only good thing about having less friends than in my teens is that I have more time to focus on work, which makes me money (directly proportional to how much I bill my clients). That and being able to move off Facebook because my friends are on Signal and Telegram.

Now, Zuck thinks I want fake AI friends so I could spend hours per day on Messenger again? Hell nah. I’ll go grab a beer in the pub or message one of my remaining real friends. If I dedicate my life to chatbots, I’ll soon have even fewer.
