On the important issue of discrimination, Clause 9 makes it clear that a transsexual person would have protection under the Sex Discrimination Act as a person of the acquired sex o…

It’s smooth to a point, but not smooth like OS X is. It might have improved (I think I last tried desktop Linux a year ago). I do enjoy using Linux as my default headless OS.

I could never get smooth scrolling to work on Linux in any mainstream web browser, most people don’t seem to see it, but I’m sensitive to things like that.

I saw a post on LinkedIn, from GitHub, boasting about how many changes they deploy in a day. I couldn’t believe it. GitHub actions have been broken so many times for me this past m…

I’m not sure why a conservative government would want to implement Marxism or where Marx mentioned censorship of this sort.

I got myself a fancy job at Spotify. It was a dream come true, or so I thought. I couldn’t believe how many meetings I had to be in each day. I couldn’t believe how little autonomy…

I agree. I’m a contractor and I feel the tech list allows the client to know upfront what I know out the gate and what I don’t. They can make an informed decision around who they w…

I find myself acquiring lots of books lately, books I won’t read for at least 6 months. It feels like you can’t investigate topics online anymore without some machine somewhere wat…

yeah, they need to be tidy. You can shoot an unsuspecting programmer through the soul with some evil ternary abuse.

I found the first solution easier to understand, but I have this infuriating (even to myself) obsession with ternary operators that could introducing some bias.

Sounds like many places I’ve worked. I think most devs have had a job like that.

I think I’ve had about enough of venture capitalists. It’s tiring it this point.

Is it not like a clinical trial with a sample size of 1 and no control group? Seems no less self indulgent than a big house or boat.

Everyone views the world through their own lens. We are individuals. Why would I express someone else’s view? Spending your life trying to outsmart the inevitability of death is a …

I’ve no doubt many billionaires are happy, but thinking you can outsmart the grim reaper is a tad sad. It doesn’t matter how rich or poor you are, we all have to learn to accept th…

No need to get defensive. Can I help viewing things through the lens that I do? Is it really such a problem for me to express my views?

It all made me feel a little sad. This person’s fear of death stops them living. It’s like buying a Porsche and never driving it for fear of damaging it.

I have to agree with you there. I don’t have evidence, so it’s a bit of a conspiracy theory, but something is off.

Thanks for the thoughts. I’ll keep those options in mind if it comes to it.

Sequelize was one, but it doesn’t appear to auto generate migrations like Prisma can. I think Prisma will be fine in the short/medium term.

Hmm. I just brought that into a tech stack for a client. A 28% reduction in head count surely doesn’t bode well for the future of Prisma.

I moved off Spotify to escape AI. It was good at first, but I started to feel like I was being pushed into a rut with music, that I’d lost all autonomy when it came to finding new …

My impression is that the air can’t “gun it” for as long because of heat. Sometimes I run intensive stuff and I’d prefer the machine to turn the fans on rather than throttle the pr…

I bought a 13” M2 for work (freelance dev) last week. It’s a weight and size thing for me. The 14” (I’ve had one before) seems to just cross the threshold for what I can comfortabl…
