  • “CrimeDad” asking us about our security setups? Good try buddy.

  • Does the dwell time also affect the spacing between each hexagon?

  • I personally prefer consistent and smaller releases. It offers less opportunity for big bugs to creep in along with smaller fixes and features.

    I saw agile mentioned here but here’s another suggestion. Agile can be helpful in the right situations but for solo devs/tiny teams, I really recommend looking into Basecamps “Shape Up” method. It uses longer cycles vs shorter sprints with a cool down period in between.

    So in the case of OP, they could set a 6 week cycle and plan for things that can definitely be completed during that time period. Right at the end of the cycle you release. The goal is to finish before the cooldown to give yourself time to breathe and plan what to do for your next cycle. Play around with a fun feature, learn about a new tool or technique you wanna try, organizing your backlog, etc. You don’t want to spill tasks into the cooldown. Else it’s not a cooldown.

    The online version of the Shape Up book is free and can be found here.

  • Thumb thumbs for and from the dumb dumbs.

  • Golden Corral is one of my guilty pleasures. It’s something that overcooked fried chicken, bland steak, and yeasty pizza. Maybe a nostalgia thing from going there a lot as a kid.

  • Yeah I don’t expect any of those sacks of meat and bones to wanna help working people. But it’s crazy the amount of business owners that wanted to wait till the election to hire again. Well, now they better put their money where their mouth is.

    As for H1B, we had the same thing happen with virtual assistants. That trend seemed to die off pretty quick. Hoping the current trends change a bit in our favor.

  • Thank you. Yes, I’m a software engineer by trade in the US and really hope this new year and the new administration (not saying I agree with it) encourages businesses to hire again. Been applying and interviewing since July with no success. Many other devs I talk to that left/loss their jobs last year have shared the same experience.

    Once I get that sorted out, I should be able to get insurance again. It’s just crazy that you need to be working to even attempt to be healthy and get the care needed.

  • If I don’t get my health in order, build better habits, and find a decent job this year, I’ll probably end up dead before 2025 ends. Somethings not right with my body but without insurance or an income to get a plan from the marketplace, either my heart, lungs, or Crohns will take me out.

  • From the video I saw of the incident, it looks like they were flying them from a safe distance to the crowd. But possibly some kind of interference or routine code bug caused some to drop and others to shoot out in random directions at full speed. As an FPV pilot, it’s crazy how fast they can pick up speed. I wonder if they lost all TX/RX abilities in order to turn them off. It happened to me once, luckily in a field alone and was only able to find it because of the stupid loud beeper I put on it.

    I think drone shows are super neat, but there maybe needs to be a minimum distance regulation and required netting in front of crowds before we keep bringing the tech to events.

  • And most software is built using open source tools. I’ve had bosses who are just fine forking out tons of cash to AWS but cringe at the idea of donating $100 to something we use daily.

  • Gonna start using “vegetate” now whenever I want express desire for total nothingness.

  • Software dev tools and process are so convoluted and unnecessary. We need to find a happy medium between sites being published via FTP uploads like before and the CI/CD madness of today. And there’s too many tooling options available. It’s caused a huge amount of disparity between options. Look at the JavaScript ecosystem for example.

  • Cat wasn’t sure about the whole thing till its head got licked. It then thought “Oh I get why little kitty is here, this is nice”

  • YouTube content creators are dealing with the same bullshit to a degree. Especially on the music side. DCMA and copyright strikes are being weaponized to shut content down someone doesn’t like, not because there’s actually infringement going on. You see that happening now too with comic/comedy commentator channels, e.g. the whole Brendan Schaub bit.

    There’s a lawyer I follow on YT who speaks about this a lot.

  • Oh true I see what you mean. Misread your initial post.

  • What the hell is happening here? Your comment has nothing to do with this post. Or bots? Idk.. seeing this happening a bit with a few posts.

  • Um.. you sure you’re responding to the right post there buddy?

  • Is this tent for pets specifically or is it one of those tiny demo tents setup in stores?

  • Sorry, misread your comment.
