  • The Great Software Quality Collapse: How We Normalized Catastrophe

    Jump

  • "Don't touch working code" stems from "last person who touched it, owns it" and there's some shit that it's just not worth your pay grade to own.

    Particularly if you're a contractor employed to work on something specific

  • The internet memes will have me believe that Germans are super anal about making sure that trash is correctly sorted.

    Is there a bin for ewaste next to the glass, cans and plastic bins?

  • In USA, isn't tax considered an affront to freedom?

    The LA public transport is in a death spiral because the taxpayers dont see a need for it because they all have cars. So funding gets directed elsewhere. But they want to people to not have the excuse "oh, it's too expensive" for not using it, so they make the fare super cheap.

    Therefore, it's caught between hardly any funding and also hardly any income

  • I thought I'd love a job like this, and it was fine, for a while.

    But you can feel yourself stagnating and you know that when they eventually make you redundant you'd struggle to get another job because you spent too long coasting.

    I left it for a job at a startup, much more engaging but also much more work

  • I went on the LA subway as a tourist, my first time in the USA. It was terrifying. It was also way too cheap, id happily pay 3x the price for it to be less terrifying

  • Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update

  • I will forever recognize the Baar Sophia font from the fansubs of Naruto which got me into anime in the first place

    Jump

  • Ahh good ol' Aegisub. I have great memories of subtitling anime in my late teens before I got a girlfriend and the fansub scene died when Crunchyroll took over.

    I was also one of the people helping test Aegisub on Linux (2009-ish), I wasn't a programmer at the time but I remember a dude called 'verm' in the IRC channel who did a bunch of work to make Aegisub stable on Linux. He taught me the difference between little endian and big endian, I guess he was bored that day

  • Im in the same boat and I regret buying NVIDIA.

    I'm not a gamer but NVIDIA issues rear their head on Wayland mostly for things that need 3D rendering like Bambu Studio and even Electron apps like Slack, Spotify and VSCode.

    Oh and also trying to get hardware video decoding working on Firefox is a pain. I'm now at the point where full screening a video just causes Firefox to immediately crash.

    Definitely getting AMD next time but I'm a long ways off upgrading my NUC, it's 8 core i7 with 64gb of ram so will serve my dev needs for a long time

  • 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using

    Jump

  • No, it's garbage because of its approach to case sensitivity.

    It's case insensitive by default (which is a WTF in itself and encourages the same laziness Windows users thrive on with NTFS) but it also has a case sensitive mode.

    Except the case sensitive mode is almost entirely useless because of the amount of apps it breaks that assume the default case-insensitive mode. It also means that you as a programmer have to add extra crap to your file handling code for case insensitive string comparisons if you want to support both modes

  • The problem with using Vim is that you have to learn Vim, but early in my career I was in single-ecosystem shops that all used IDE's for whatever tech (Microsoft= Visual Studio, Java = Eclipse / NetBeans, PHP = Sublime Text, arguably not an IDE)

    By the time I got to the point in my career where I got to choose the tooling, VSCode was already a thing and it has an extension for anything you can think of.

    So I never had to learn Vim, and now it's in the too-hard basket, and VSCode is ubiquitous and works surprisingly well
