I’ve done much worse for a dollar. The industry feels shit because of stupid AI hype coupled with tight budgets. It’ll pass. Though if I could do something else for a similar amount of money I probably would

Well, I can kind of relate. I’m 10 years into network engineering and about 2-3 years into SDN/data center automation. It used to be exciting at first but now it’s gotten kind of boring.
Don’t underestimate the power of your half ass, your half ass is probably many people’s whole ass.
Your work can be fulfilling and it’s exciting when it is but it’ll never satisfy your need for human connection. I’m in a role where I’m compensated adequately but I’m very unfulfilled. It’s not toxic but I’m very disconnected. I’m trying to upskill at the moment and get my CCNP DEVCOR so I can look for a more cushy role with probably less pay
Sounds like you’re burned out then … How long in your role?
Just need a tight deadline or a bad performance review to fix that right up

15·1 year agoThe fourth point “okay, first meeting. Let’s talk about death, aliens and your ex” actually sounds like riveting conversation

10·1 year agoYeah, probably haven’t met the right one and all that. For now, no company is better than bad company
Good sex is honestly a toss up, I’ve had great sex in horrible relationships and bad sex in great relationships. I understand being in love with someone enhances it but love is a feeling which is impossible to sustain permanently
That’s not a good reason to share a bed with someone
I do like women and I do maintain platonic relationships with women

269·1 year agoSame here. Most women bring nothing to the table, so there’s no rush. I’d rather save the money and spend my time studying or playing video games

304·1 year agoI recently ended a 6 year relationship. I’m not going to settle down with anyone again unless they have their own stuff going on like a career and goals. I think a lot of women expect men to manage all the finances, set goals, plan vacations and provide stability but they don’t want to do the traditional gender role stuff like cooking and cleaning or making a home. So what’s the point? Why make someone else’s life easier if they don’t do the same for you? had a son young(I was 19 when I had him) and he’s 11 now, so it’s not like I’m dreaming of starting a family. Most women bring nothing to the table. And if you’re lucky enough like me to have a good income, house, car, etc… you realize a lot of things are easier living alone.
Women want the princess treatment but don’t know how to act like a princess. Beyond that, sex isn’t all it’s hyped up to be. I know I sound like a redpill incel but dating shouldn’t be a priority for anyone. What’s the rush? Don’t fall for the first thing you see, make sure they’re worth it first.

Privacy@programming.dev•Trump Wants Immigrants on U.S. Soil to Hand Over Social Media Accounts to Apply for Citizenship
2·1 year agoIt may have existed before but it’s pretty clear this is about weeding out dissenting opinions, to my knowledge the only thing that would previously disqualify you would be extremist opinions that aligned with terrorist groups. Now if at any point you’ve criticized the actions of MAGA then you’re probably SOL. You’d probably be disqualified for saying Elon is a moron. Trying to downplay this as “not news” is pretty disingenuous considering they’ve shown they don’t care about the law or anyone’s constitutional rights.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Synapse is the epitome of this
1·1 year agoIsn’t that what threading is? Concurrency always happens on single core. Parallelism is when separate threads are running on different cores. Either way, while the post is meant to be humorous, understanding the difference is what prevents people from picking up the topic. It’s really not difficult. Most reasons to bypass the GIL are IO bound, meaning using threading is perfectly fine. If things ran on multiple cores by default it would be a nightmare with race conditions.

Linux@programming.dev•How to minimize pain of Windows in work environment?
2·1 year agoA few years ago a pretty big state university I worked at didn’t use any kind of NAT. They had such a large public network space(a lot of universities do) that they would just give hosts public IPs. You could go home and just RDP into your desktop. Universities can be a wild wild west.

Linux@programming.dev•How to minimize pain of Windows in work environment?
41·1 year agoWhen people complain about Windows in a work environment, I wonder really what their complaints are. I mean I don’t like windows either but at the end of the day you’re just using visual studio and maybe a terminal emulator to access your work. Your codebase is on a test server or production server.
That said, my mind was blown when I used my first mac. Even the best windows laptop I’ve been given at work would maybe last 4 hours without charging. I can use my Mac for almost two days without charging it which makes going to the office that much easier when I can sit outside. I don’t know if Windows is just extremely inefficient with its resource management or of it’s all the bullshit spyware companies bloat every PC with but if the company absolutely won’t let you install a Linux desktop OS I’d just ask for a Mac. Plenty of staff use them at universities
Dang that’s simple. Props, I’ll give it a try Thanks

LinkedinLunatics@sh.itjust.works•Cybersecurity Founder and CEO blasts her husband on LinkedIn for not doing anything in 2024.
21·1 year agoNah, I mean, sharing this on LinkedIn is basically a “humble brag”, LinkedIn is all about marketing yourself as a professional brand. If she needed an outlet she’d discuss this with a friend, a coworker, or even an actual social media platform. It’s basically like “I can’t stop crushing goals, my husband is content just existing, is there something wrong with me? Why am I such a beast? Why is he content being lame? Anyone else feel this or am I in a minority of overachievers?”
Not even bringing up the fact that this is very publicly scrutinizing her husband, or at the least, airing out her laundry. I’d be furious if someone shared a private, intimate conversation just to make a point for social media validation. But then again, I’m a pretty private person.
I think if she was actually crushing her goals, she’d do so in silence. That’s what most overachievers actually do.
All you need is a french press and they’re pretty cheap. You just put the coffee and water in the fridge overnight 8-10h and it’s good by morning. Way better than regular coffee imo. I’m sure there’s snobbier ways to make cold brew but I value simplicity



Lmao same here buddy.
