  • Weak one. Let’s ideate on a better version

    STOP DOING DOCKER

    • Virtualization was supposed to reduce the overhead, not create entire DevOps departments.

    • Years of containerization yet no real use over make clean; make build

    • Wanted to deploy your app in the “cloud” anyways for a laugh? We had a tool for it, it’s called rsync

    • Let’s run a virtual container in --privileged mode, so we can manage system resources from it – Statements dreamt up by utterly Deranged

    Look at what tech interviews have been demanding your Respect for all these years. (These are real documentation examples for how a simple virtualization supposedly works)

    Hello, I would like to put 20 Terabytes of “images” into my /var/lib/, please!

    They played us for absolute fools!

  • you might prefer a lonely isolated lifestyle, or your social environment being only your wife, kids and your suburban neighbors. But that’s absolutely not the case for most people who gladly socialize at work and prefer to have a great environment there. You all collectively shitting on it and praising work from home only shows that lemmy is a club of extreme introverts.

  • Would you rather spend 40h a week in a dull environment exchanging your time and mental focus for money or spend 50h in a fun and relaxed environment working on something interesting, but also having great nutrition available and with a laundry, so no more household chores for you?

    To me #1 seems like you’re stuck exchanging the best of yourself for some paycheck. #2 sounds more like fun, but also gets you your paycheck.

    If you’re at a point in your life where all you want from your job, office and colleagues is to see as little as possible of that and get as much money as you could, you need to make some serious changes.

  • I just explained what the issues are. Programming languages heavily rely on special symbols.

    If you haven’t watched yourself from the outside, how do you know “there are zero issues with it”? You might be constantly breaking the typing flow and need to use a two-hand combo for some mundane []. While someone on a US layout never needs to lift their hands of the keys, because all they need is a ctrl with a pinky + right hand within reach.

    When I learn a new language, I also learn a keyboard layout for it. Or do you also write in Spanish on your keyboard? How do you make an à and an á?

    Ah, that’s right, you speak two languages, you’re stuck using your comfort zone layout, and you’d ofc argue “zero issues”.

  • Pro tip for fellow yuropean devs: you can change the layout, and learn it easily.

    Pro tip for fellow ISO enjoyers living in yurop: a keyboard on Amazon costs 20$. If you’re using a laptop you can order one from the UK, it’s mostly the same, except beware of the mental asylum layouts that move this | key to the bottom left. You can also buy a laptop from amazon.com if you filter by “global shipping”. Power bricks always work with 110/220/240, the cable that goes into the plug is easily exchangeable for 10$.

    Some premium brands let you choose the layout. E.g. xmg, slimbook.

  • You’re on /c/programming.

    Also, it’s even ISO standardized, so yeah, it’s an international norm.

    Pragmatically: most programming languages are developed in a way to that it’s easy to type them up on a standard us layout. As English only has 26 letters, which is less than any other language using the latin alphabet (don’t even start me on languages with accents like ñ or that differentiate between à, a, á, and â), all the special characters are usually easily accessible. Most others layouts will tuck them away behind non-trivial combinations in favor of improving accessibility of extra letters and special characters. Cuz essentially in human language you barely need * and [. So, I guess, right ctrl + left shift + 9 will do? how do you feel about coding in python on that. Or on a keyboard where the space for your | has been allocated to some letter ø and your OR operator has been moved to the numpad.
