Guaranteeing order has its tradeoffs. There is work happening currently to make Kafka behave more like a queue: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-932%3A...

Miss you all dearly.

This book[1] was a great read on the topic. [1]: https://ethanmarcotte.com/books/you-deserve-a-tech-union/

Same. I would rather put up with being burnt out than subject myself to interviewing. Ridiculous.

ManicTime was a lifesaver when I was working as a consultant and had to attribute every hour of my week to one of several clients.

Sometimes, but the differences in performance between the two were quite vast if I recall correctly.

Oh interesting. Might explain why Apple employees aren’t feeling this same pressure. Do you know if Apple’s MDM is the same for their retail and corporate employees? Also - I’m not…

For the record, I did not return my (4x cheaper) iPad. I didn’t ever buy a Vision Pro. Because of the Apple ID issue. I’m trying to convince Apple that they should care because the…

This is an incredible point that I had not considered.

Employers could be free to restrict use of such devices via MDM policy if they wanted. Also, how many of us have purchased keyboards, mice, displays, headphones, etc with our own m…

Maybe I’m just hopelessly cynical, but I suspect that this is representative of the average developer’s experience.

Also it’s (indirectly) an ad for a product that they’re selling to help devs achieve this.

That’s quite the assumption! You’d also have to know that your shell maintains a history and know how to search it. None of these things are obvious to those who do not already kno…

As the parent comment says, the specifics of the example are irrelevant. Pretend you didn’t know that the dictionary file existed, or where it was stored, or that cat/shuf/head exi…

What kind of response would be appropriate then for getting them to take this issue seriously?

This bit is no longer entirely accurate: > For highly proficient users, this gets even worse as their is no command key equivalents for cut, copy, or paste. […] Part of the unspoke…

Yeah agreed, especially now that PowerShell is available cross-platform. Nushell[1] also seems like a promising alternative, but I haven’t had a chance to play with it yet. [1]: ht…

The linked article literally mentions qpdf within the first few paragraphs.
