  • Yeah. Some people love to micro manage and play power games, but it's so refreshing to work for someone who has the confidence to just concentrate on doing a great job.

  • I always thought that morning stiffy is caused by the prostate holding in your pee while you sleep and is solved by having a pee.

    Either way, don't pee or wank at the bus stop.

    Have your pee and your wank (or morning sex) at home.

  • There's no sense trying to argue your case like I'm some kind of legal judge. It looked to me like you wrote a sentence of opinion and linked to a petition rather than link to an article. I assumed they meant news article. You didn't. The person who gets to decide is the moderator.

  • Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents.

    Your post is not a link to an article.

  • Well...

    My wife and I have definitely very much enjoyed the process of me acquiring the intimate familiarity I have with the matching area of her anatomy, but if I started calling that a foreskin my access pass would likely be revoked faster than you can say "and you can kiss goodbye to..... wait, no, you canNOT kiss goodbye"

  • He's a great boss. He really is.

    I had goodwill stored up because like me, he uses the tool to several times a day, he really likes it because it makes some tasks far easier (v0.1) and I added loads of extras over the years, and it was me that dreamed it up in the first place.

    The new server constraint affected me on the daily but wasn't going to affect him at all for most of those three months, and even then, not often and there was a workaround for his usage, but he trusted me and he wants my end to be as convenient as his is (very fair minded guy indeed).

    I would go a long long way for him. I went to his wedding in 2023 and we sometimes have drinks after work. He knows how it is, has been there, done that and got the T shirt and isn't afraid to tell truth to power:

    You know you like to have X? We're gonna need Y...

    Remember the prioritisation of Y you were going to do?...

    Yeah, so no, sorry, we don't quite have X, partly because of this and that mistake we made, but also we weren't able to get very close to X because we never got Y.

    Genuinely, cue recommitment of senior management to Y in the next quarter! It might not happen, but no shouting, no blaming, and rationality all round.

    I don't think they like it at all when he says stuff like that, but they love that the crises pretty much dwindled out when they put him in charge and as he gradually recruited more people who put more effort into making things better than shouting and blaming, and as the shouters and blamers left to find employment elsewhere where shouting and blaming was effective. It simply does not work on my boss even a little bit, and he simply never does it. Customers now praise his department instead of complain about it, so he gets a lot of leeway from management to do things his way.

  • Other realistic options for president in 2024? You are living in a complete fantasy world of your own with no hint of a connection to reality whatsoever. No wonder you talk such crap and don't listen to what anyone says to you, it's just you being true to form: reject external evidence, continue to believe three impossible things before breakfast.

  • Dunno. Always avoided electron because everyone said how slow and crash print it is. I very much doubt it, though. Upgrading from tauri v1 to tauri v2 is already non trivial to the extent that I didn't bother for a new project because I already had bindings and config for v1. I'd be very surprised if they just copied election got the interface for their shiny new, more principled, faster, leaner, less leaky, more secure, "better" web-as-ui thing.

  • (I write only internal tools and I'm a team of one. We have a whole department of people working on public and customer focused stuff.)

    My boss let me spend three months with absolutely no changes to functionality or UI, just to build a better, more configurable back end with a brand new config UI, partly due to necessity (a server constraint changed), otherwise I don't think it would have ever got off the ground as a project. No changes to master for three months, which was absolutely unheard of.

    At times it was a bit demoralising to do so much work for so long with nothing to show for it, but I knew the new back end would bring useful extras and faster, robust changes.

    The backend config ui is still in its infancy, but my boss is sooo pleased with its effect. He is used to a turnaround for simple changes of between 1 and 10 days for the last few years (the lifetime of the project), but now he's getting used to a reply saying I've pushed to live between 1 and 10 minutes.

    Brand new features still take time, but now that we really understand what it needs to do after the first few years, it was enormously helpful to structure the whole thing to be much more organised around real world demands and make it considerably more automatic.

    Feels food. Feels really good.

  • Tauri gives similar functionality but is written in rust, has good security models and is fast.
