  I still hesitate, but soon it'd be too late... I'm a software engineer closing my second decade of career, with experience in whole lot of backend software, big data/data engineering, devops, dataops, SRE, system administration, whatever other computer problems one might be tasked to solve. And I'm looking for a job that needs any of that. I've been looking for quite some time, without much going on. Remote, USA or West Europe timezone adjacent (or any other if partial overla...

  When a persion lacking the context and the historical knowledge tries to write about a multi-century tensions between two nations... this is beyond me. Taking into account this is a person from Taiwan, I expected a bit more of awareness about complexity of politics. Why would you go into that, not only by siding with a particular view, but also repeating Soviet and russian propaganda? https://taipology.substack.com/p/why-are-the-polish-and-ukrainians

  @afilina "Always have been"... sorry to say. JB from the start back in russia copied the Silicon Valley approach to hire on a basis of your educational "pedigree" - a candidate's university mattered to them more than knowledge, skills and other characteristics. That's a sign of the brainworms at the org level. I personally ditched IDEA back in 2018, cause even at that time a rudimentary LSP support for editor like vim was better setup than...

  I was coming back to the next thought a few times, so maybe it's time to write it down: the dehumanising race to replace people with chatbots and robots (specifically) by the elites really reminds me one particular sci-fi piece - The Robots of Dawn by Asimov. The people of the planet Aurora there were accustomed to the extreme individualism - everyone was living alone, surrounded only by their robots, able to communicate with other only virtually. Additionally, in the later novel Found...

  @UT3UMS Are you questioning the value of timezone or that it is a separate timezone, though? I see a bit of confusion in the replies below about the second interpretation, so I'd recommend to reword for clarity. @victor_tokarev @kde

  Додав запит "можливість фільтрувати вакансії по домену AI, щоб вакансії з цим взагалі ні бачити" на джині, але щось мені каже що то буде як з відмовою від телеграму - дуже заздалегідь відносно готовності інших... Ще в березні 22го писав про це з надією що ДОУ побажає підхопити рух від телеграму.

  I could not even come to the right question about this discrepancy between two widgets, showing the battery charge level. Same laptop, same headphones, at the same moment. The sound one is lying, btw. WHY? #MacOS

  >>> ppc is still a thing, my project computer is a power9 >> PPC is/was different from POWER. Technically related but they diverged enough that it was a different ISA for all intents and purposes > To be clear, you're talking about the original POWER ISA. The PowerPC ISA has subsequently been renamed the Power ISA (not to be confused with the POWER ISA). Confusingly, IBM's POWER CPUs (POWER3, POWER4, POWER5, POWER6, POWER7, POWER8, POWE...

  Was looking for some drawings themed with Babylon 5 show main character, bumped into this funny one (at https://bleedingcool.com/comics/roger-langridge-muppets-babylon-5-thought-bubble/) #Babylon5 #FanArt #MuppetShow

  - $work organization uses MS suite and services, Teams included - any email coming not from the org's domain marked as from an external source, Teams included (ie Teams message notifications sent to your email) with a banner on top - (training) phishing email sent, mimicking Teams notification - I clicked on link in it and saw a "in reality you'd be phished!" and then assigned to took a training in a phishing mail awareness that is completely "AI&q...

  I have never noticed in all the articles about Solonevich that he moved to South America and died here, in Montevideo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Solonevich

  I was upgrading installations of two different FOSS projects and started to suspect that their code being modified in a vibecoding style, mostly by the fact that previously robust solutions had to be fixed in their release version just to be launched. That made me to question myself: what's the point of doing so in a relatevily small, single-purpose project, which isn't actively moving by any company interest? Do the author(s) simply hate to code?

  @whyhankee@fosstodon.org A quite robust solution. With its choice of the MicroOS (immutable server distro from openSuSE) as a host OS and a bit of configuration efforts of system-upgrade-controller and kured to automate the host and the kubernetes upgrades you may get a cluster that keep itself healthy and actual with relatively low effort. I'd say it's easier to maintain than a AWS EKS one.

  I didn't pay much attention at first to this DeepL usual T&C update notice, but then I revisited it and "ah shit, here we go again": Quote: On April 14, 2026, we’ll update your T&Cs to reflect, among other things, the fact that DeepL no longer processes data exclusively on its own servers. This enables us to add Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a new DeepL subprocessor. Adding AWS improves the reliability, scalability, and technical infrastructure of our se...

  @ryan@social.miyaku.media M Eh... mailing list with extra steps?

  @yon@sakurajima.moe I hope you will be able to do so and that you would enjoy it. But even if not - it's still one of the outstanding anime pieces.

  Finally I switched translation engine from DeepL to LibreTranslate - that added languages like Thai and Taiwanese Mandarin into what could be handled by the Mastodon "translate" facility. As I follow some amount of people from Asia, it was a pain to translate what they wrote (either by using the in-browser or even going to a dedicated service). One last bit is to go after those who don't set their language in profile (or in toots) and ask to do so. Pretty small bit, like 80% of w...

  @veer66@mstdn.io Why do the people still read and listen to him? He has no practical experience for decades and speaks/writes about the stuff he doesn't know. (And I'm not even starting to go into details that he's an asshole of a person). One needs a book on FP in software architecture? There is a gem of Scot Wlaschin, for example.
