When did on-call become so accepted and demanded from employers? Currently I am "Release Captain" for a week: So I have to setup any releases and manage all the related tasks, do automated/manual testing of the release,…
Perhaps it's time they consider lidar? Elon hasn't seen the WHY yet? Tesla CEO Elon Musk has stated that cameras are the only sensors self-driving vehicles need, and that Tesla's electric vehicles do not use lidars.…
Did they come out with a PoE hat yet for the pi5? I know there are aftermarket ones...
If you're traveling near Dayton Ohio or near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base ever I HIGHLY recommend visiting the National Museum of the United States Air Force. They have a XB-70 on display and it's amazing how large…
>Wow, you very accurately explained my life, except i'm on call even more than that. I'm sorry, it has to be one of my least favorite things about this career. Nothing worse than getting calls off-hours when it's only…
Let's see... 14 days on call every 3 months. 3 releases a week. All the normal review work. PRs, design, etc. SCRUM meetings. Meetings before the meetings. Crazy deadlines which were arbitrarily given by someone in…
I have been since the first people at my previous employer told me it would replace all the programmers. Then I found out the developers assigned to working on the low/no code parts had a component where they could…
The more I mess with SBCs the more I lean towards this method. The M720q's or M710q's are two of my favorites. As an added bonus the chargers even work with my lenovo laptop(s). I wish someone made a rack to hold them…
Having owned many raspberry pis, a handful of rock pis (4A, 4B, Zero and S), Mango Pis, Khadas VIM4 and other SBCs (I have a problem haha)... I can say without a doubt the two shining stars the Raspberry Pi has are…
This is amateur hour! Let me know when you own all the flavors of the MX Keys, Mechanical, Mini, "Regular". All of the microsoft designer keys, a few Vortex keyboards (Core 40%, Cyph3r), some Dvorak keyboards, apple…
I wonder what the FBI has for running on linux/unix? I'm sure the FBI budget allows the means to create a botnet for any OS, but the easiest thing to do (maybe) would be to stop using windows..?
I haven't been able to find them for cheaper than say ~$120 USD. I purchased two "GMKtec Mini PC Windows 11 Pro Intel 11th Gen N5105" on amazon for $115 each after a coupon. These are the 8GB Memory and 128GB SSD…
Why is it that the opinion of a "digital" Reporter and Management Professor are peddled as absolute truths? I'm sure they are very intelligent people, but every time someone who hasn't spent any time writing software…
Excuse me! I am a Custodian.
Honestly, look on ebay for used Lenovo ThinkCentre M/P "Tiny" or Dell Optiplex "Tiny" computers. They can be purchased by the lot for most of them as businesses get rid of the old ones. I use 4 Lenovo M910x's as a…
I commented above, whether the salary is 150k, 250k, 500k... the impact doesn't change 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.33%. Not sure it really matters. Again I'm not defending lazy employees or saying employers are bad for doing this. I…
TBH I think the average Sr. Developer is ~130k in the US. Of course this varies so much depending on the role and company.
Understand 2x, I was also looking across all the jobs at spotify. There are some that go as low as 70k salary, a majority seem to be 170k+. It was just for ease of calculation. even if we take 500k that's still 0.033%…
This is my main point from personal experience. I worked at a company that had almost yearly layoffs (caused by a late transition to the online world and competition). I knew whole teams that were reduced to a single…
Edit: I'm wrong looks like they can write it off.
I get needing to keep a company lean and that businesses operate to make money... But most of these recent layoffs really make me feel uneasy. Spotify is a little different because AFAIK they are still operating at a…
How amazing it would have been to work for Convair or General Dynamics during that time! The absolute heyday of Convair! The B-58 Hustler would have been introduced around the same time your father worked there! One of…
I wonder how much of this has to do with COVID and how much has to do with fentanyl. I am shocked that no one is even talking about the excess fentanyl deaths. Also how much of this is attributed to our fading health…
Not being in the know, what are the serious competitors to Patreon? Utreon? Buy Me a Coffee? Youtube itself?
To lots of people in tech it's probably one of AMC's greatest. It had all the thrills and dreams of being a software engineer! It's the last "show" I bought since "The Office"... I wish it had a few more seasons, but…
