Do you have any foresty bits on your acre? That’s honestly peak luxury in some ways. Person I mentioned in the previous comment has a forested knoll with a great view, but enough tree cover that you can avoid the sun.
Fixing things up on your own truly is magical. I do it with cars more than my home (because the former is often cheaper and quicker and I buy cheap-ass formerly-luxury beaters usually), but this summer I have some plans for my house as well.
The dream is to get rich programming and THEN start farming. When you don’t need to do it for income. Nobody mentions the first half usually though. I’m sure some do actually think they want to make a living off farming, good luck to them.
Think it’s actually a paygrade thing at some companies. Get a talented engineer (that yes, probably had open source projects already as a teen) and they kinda want more pay than an average engineer. Now they’re a senior engineer.
Of course whether said engineer is actually worth said salary isn’t immediately obvious and oftentimes you end up with young seniors that are better at selling themselves than they are at engineering.
I also know at least one company I worked for developed clear outlines of what your skills (both soft and… Hard?) and ownership of codebase should be for each level. At the time I had just over 3 YoE (2.5 from previous company and was essentially one biannual review away from becoming a senior, but threw it away for a more exciting job and since then I’ve not been at a company that differentes levels at all. So I don’t know if I’ll ever be a senior now lol
When they say the goal of many a software engineer is to become a farmer, it’s quietly implied that you have to first make bank as a software engineer and then farm as a hobby while at least semi-retired rather than depending on it for survival.
I know people who are doing this and are happy. Half time spent farming, half time CEOing a software startup (not a silicon valley hustle culture 996 one though), and you get to take meetings in your own personal forest.
A lot of April 1st posts seem to get made on March 31st and that includes from people in fairly western timezones, so I think they just get their post done the previous night, go to sleep, and let the chaos unravel.
I’ve worked at places where senior devs have access to prod for emergency fixes but usually the procedure is to use a VPN AND an ssh key with a passphrase. Usually.
According to me, I’m the smartest person to ever have lived.
Same, but I’m willing to team up with them against people who call it squeal.
Honestly, cringe was an oversimplification in the first place on my behalf. My take is that he’s realized that he can either keep doing what he did for over a decade (put out cringe content, which would be even more cringe as he reaches 40 soon), or he can actually do something useful with the reach he has, and be someone his son can actually be proud of. And he went with the latter, over the easy money of the former.
Well he’s 36 now. Think he’s realized that it’d be cringe to behave like a teenager for much longer and his original fans are all adults now anyway, so he’s decided to aim his new videos at them rather than getting new teenage fans. Put it this way, he had 100 million subscribers 7 years ago, he has 110 million now. One has to assume his average subscriber age has risen a lot in recent years.
Honestly great that this is how it’s gone. I find him way more relatable now than when his fame was at peak.
Odysee is a bit of a nazi platform and I think most people want to host their own peertube instance but putting your videos on someone else’s instance results in them going down when the instance does
Tho since Pewds is getting more and more interested in tech, I think hosting a Peertube instance would actually be fitting for him.
It only works well because you have a super cheap wireless mouse from Ali. I have a fairly expensive wireless mouse from Logitech and I have to use it in Bluetooth mode to get less stutter because the USB port on my display, literally 10-20 cm from the mouse, is angled the wrong way and apparently the Logitech unifying receiver is DIRECTIONAL but not by design.
Honestly disconnect all other disks when installing it too. Otherwise you move your Linux disk to another computer and Windows might not boot because it decided to use the efi partition on your Linux disk
Man I have to settle for a purple thing with a hole in it, I don’t even know what it is
I switched to Durex, seems to be faster now, thanks!
Well, 12/32. The rest was being used by Pycharm and Firefox mostly
Lol I sorted top by memory usage and realized I’m using 12 gigs on an LLM I was playing around with to get local code completion in my JetBrains IDE. It didn’t work all that well anyway and I forgot to disable it.
I did have similar issues before this too, but I imagine blowing 12 gigs on an LLM must’ve exacerbated things. I’m wondering how long I can go now before I’m starting to run out of memory again. Though I was still sitting at 7 gigs buffer/cache and it hadn’t slowed down yet.
I have not, but also it’s not slow immediately, it takes time under use to get slow. Fresh boot is quite fast. And then once it’s slow, even if I close my IDE, browsers and everything, it remains slow, even if CPU usage is really low and there’s theoretically plenty of memory that could be freed easily.
“memory is free, so find more stuff to cache to fill it”
As long as it’s being used responsibly and freed when necessary, I don’t have a problem with this
“we have gigabytes of RAM so it doesn’t matter how memory-efficient any program I write is”
On anything running on the end user’s hardware, this I DO have a problem with.
I have no problem with a simple backend REST API being built on Spring Boot and requiring a damn gigabyte just to provide a /status endpoint or whatever. Because it runs on one or a few machines, controlled by the company developing it usually.
When a simple desktop application uses over a gigabyte because of shitty UI frameworks being used, I start having a problem with it, because that’s a gigabyte used per every single end user, and end users are more numerous than servers AND they expect their devices to do multiple things, rather than running just one application.
Cars are easy, but you’ll need adequate diagnostics solutions much of the time. And you’ll want to avoid cars from areas where they tend to rust. Rust is harder to deal with than engine or even auto transmission issues lol
But if you’re not into it, it’s harder to learn it and it’ll be a fruitless endeavour.
