I can only use it as a laptop 1% of the time and it still makes perfect sense because otherwise I would have to own a separate device for this 1% of the time.

Fuck me.

Work on Free Open Source Software. Seriously, I fucking love software engineering and I can't really imagine doing anything else with my life. In fact, that's kinda my current plan - work towards financial independence and then work on things that matter to me, on my own terms. I really hope I won't get burned out somewhere in the process.

Well, I read like a hundred times that going for a coffee is an incredibly boring date idea and doing some activity you both actually enjoy is much better.

For what it's worth, I hate the idea of a coffee / dinner date. Seems incredibly forced and like some kind of an interview. Though, I'm not dating and not interested in doing it, so I might be completely out of touch.

He has told people that they should kill themself. I'm not trying to throw a shade on him but that's the unfortunate truth.

Is 600 MB a lot for pandas? Of course, CSV isn't really optimal but I would've sworn pandas happily works with gigabytes of data.

I'll stick with KeePassXC but I'm still very happy to see them remembering about Linux. I hope Drive will be next, this is something I'm really waiting for.

Somehow NixOS really is like a fucking crack. I had like a 6 months non-stop hyperfixation about configuring everything using NixOS and Home Manager. Almost every evening. Now I have a polished setup of my personal and work laptops, homelab server and a VPS. And I have no regrets, this thing is amazing.

How are they pointless if they bring people joy? I know there are exceptions but I'm pretty sure people generally really like birthdays...

WTF? Why?

Me and my friends always thank each other after spending fun time together, how is it even controversial?

I have no idea how people use so much RAM. I use a 16 GB machine for work and it runs perfectly. For the majority of the time I'm well below 8GB. And I do use Electron apps.

Of course, I'm aware of the possible uses demanding more than 16 GB but I can't believe this would be the case for a majority of the people.

I have never heard of anyone using aliases for anything but trivial one-liners. I don't think people consider them as an alternative to scripts so I don't really get the point of half of this post.

However, the part explaining the benefits of using scripts over aliases even for trivial one-liners is pretty neat.

This also probably increases the chance that they will actually look at the cable and touch it instead of just answering that it's obviously plugged in. Brilliant!

I got recently diagnosed with autism and r/autism is the reason I started using Reddit again after more than a year. I would prefer using Lemmy for this but there's barely any activity in autism community on Lemmy. Yeah, I know, I should be the change I want to see. I promise I will try to post something there!

I mean, it's like a fucking drug. The learning curve is steep AF but past some point, when it starts making sense, it's just incredible. I'm currently moving my whole setup to NixOS and I'm in love.

WTF kind of drugs your dentist's give you? When I had my wisdom teeth removed I just got local anesthesia which made my mouth area numb and insensitive to pain for a few hours. I could literally drive home immediately after the procedure if I wanted to. Europe, for reference. Does this differ between the countries so much?

Well, I actually enjoy code review, and I enjoy it on both ends. I learned A LOT thanks to insightful review by my teammates. And I like to pass that knowledge on to juniors when reviewing their code.

I don't get how is it that brushing is normal for everyone but somehow flossing seems to be an impossible task. It literally takes even less time. It's so quick and simple that it just seems dumb not do it. Well, to me at least. Clearly that's not a very popular opinion.

Why not? Why do you need the ability to deprive someone of a live saving procedure after you literally died?

It might protect you from a lot of Google's shit show but it won't show you good results too.

Kagi is the only usable search engine for me right now. Yes, it's not free. I needed a whole year to convince myself to pay for searching but I finally did it and it is absolutely worth it. I'm a SE though, so searching stuff is like half my job.
