If it's like around here (London, UK) the last thing people want to talk about is the day job!
I can't talk with my colleagues exactly because I'd like to talk about tech 24/7. HN helps.
How about starting a reading group, say a Linux kernel and device driver source code reading group? ;)

#145We learned the value of immutability, so I don't celebrate new year any more, I just append days to each other and celeb OOM

#146I used to have friends in uni with whom i could share very nerdy/technical conversations. near graduation we no longer get together sadly. this has taken a toll on me. HN is a place that feels like home, even if I'm usually just lurking around and overhearing conversations. Thanks everyone for sharing!
I think sometimes you have to realize that it's OKAY if you're always the one to keep in touch, and no one else seems to make any effort. As long as they're happy to talk when you call, or they show up at the group event when you badger them enough: that's fine. Some people are just not initiators, and it's either you make the effort, or you lose touch with them. You can't insist on reciprocity.

#148I’ll be honest, I don’t know what we’re celebrating.
The planet has been on a slow roll into oblivion. 2024 will be the hottest year in recorded human history and we’ll probably pass the irreversibility threshold for average global temperature.
There are multiple extremely unsettling ongoing global humanitarian crises: Chinese-Uyghur, Russo-Ukrainian, the latest Israeli conflict*.
What exactly are we celebrating?
*note: I’m not taking sides. There are atrocities perpetrated by both sides, and grievances experienced by both sides. It just makes me sick generally to think about.

We are the unbroken line of billions of years of life, and today we're still alive, unbroken. May it always be so.

Are you still doing that commute?
No. I got homesick after a year and a half and moved back. I've been working remotely ever since with no commute, which I find awesome!
Sorry if this is a nosy question, but - I lived in Amsterdam; and needing that long of a commute sounds weird, since public transport is pretty good, and you can bike some of the way. Even farther from the center, where it's cheaper, it should still not be _that_ long... can I ask what was your commute route?
