Draught Beer

probably a Pale/IPA of some sort

ideally a hazy with Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic and/or Amarillo hops

definitely something from Cloudwater, Sureshot, Verdant, Deya, Track or Lerwig if I happen to be somewhere with it on tap.

Though often for those breweries, I’d take a can over an alternative draught

I’ve always liked the distinction between needing your job to survive and being okay if it disappeared for at least a few months

If you have enough to mean you can take your time to look for a good job if you ever lost your current one without having to change your lifestyle, that’s the minimum bound of “enough” IMO. Anything else involves compromise, so therefore is not “enough” by definition.

I’d say the idealised “enough” is when you can do whatever you decide to do without having to worry if you can afford it.

Both of these depend on the kind of lifestyle people lead and how much more they would do if they didn’t have to think about money. For some people that idealised “enough” is unachievable, because they’ve decided what they want to do is make more money.

People that end up chasing money for the sake of having more money will often do so in spite of any moral compass. And FWIW I don’t think there are a high percentage people out there that make “enough” by either of my definitions and that opens up all the exploitation that forces people into shitty jobs and situations they wouldn’t otherwise do

Had to look this one up to understand it.

Given the spread of expertise in this community, I think that’s probably the experience of all of us at least every other post

Why the fuck did I never think of this—I was out there buying floppies like an absolute rube

Holy shit, I did my equivalent of this class over 2 decades ago and I remember this bloody joke.

Whoever wrote that book has got a lot of mileage from it

Edit: oh the screencap is older than a decade lol

That’s a weird emoji to use for elixir

GIGO

…I feel like openssh has a much larger attack surface than a simple binary.

If you’re going to this extent already, you may as well jump on the run0 approach systemd is introducing.

oh no, I can hear rumbling

The internet has broken my brain.

scnr is a new one on me and in an attempt to figure it out, my brain did not land on the now rather obvious “sorry, could not resist” but “skibidi cap no rizz” as some kind of ironic initialism

I’m gonna go and find some grass now

The crazy thing is they are basically selling the same models this whole time too

You don’t need to be skilled in something to get enjoyment out of it

Likewise you don’t necessarily get enjoyment out of something just because you’re skilled in it.

Because my brain is fundamentally incompatible with imperial measurements:

500psi is equivalent to about 35kg of weight stacked into a centimetre square (so 35bar / 3500kpa)

I’ll add to the other person who replied:

Most work in this industry is done in teams, if you can’t effectively communicate and get on with your team members, you’re gonna have a bad time.

It’s even baked into the hiring process everywhere I’ve worked, most of the time an organisation would prefer to take a lower skill candidate if they seem like they’d get on well with everyone Vs a highly skilled candidate that would rub people up the wrong way.

It’s a lot easier to fill gaps in engineering ability compared to coaching someone how to behave around people

I’m a software engineer

You’re not getting anywhere above entry level in this industry without social skills

void

Does that not put JS (node) back on the table?

I’d say it’s the low level language doing the heavy lifting, python or JS in this scenario are just front-ends.

Hell, I think FORTH has C bindings, that’s not power, that’s mental illness

IIRC JavaScript + TypeScript is the biggest demographic of engineers in the industry if you go by GitHub stats

I suppose you could call that power in a way
