If a company uses other Microsoft products, chance are that Teams is bundled with whatever license they have. So for IT, it’s one less service to manage.

And greasy pepperoni

Lots of people care because it creates e-waste.

If the culture changes so that all consumers act like that and forces the companies to change their production cycle, that would be a big boon for the environment.

I kinda disagree with you. Why would it be different from now? We know that people will die.

I’ve had good friends pass away at different times, and it hurts but eventually, I move on.

My only exception, with the knowledge I have today, is that I wouldn’t have any kids. That attachment is straight up reptilian brain and that would be way too hard. Otherwise, it would be okay.

You are right about the fact that businesses are not legally obligated to accept cash. I was wrong on that.

As for e-payment not working, it happened to me at least 3 times since last year, and it fucking sucks.

I don’t like to walk with a lot of cash on me, but if I know that there is a outage of payment systems, I can at least use the cash I keep at home to pay for my basic needs.

More options is good in any case. We are already tracked enough as it is, so I understand people that want to use cash.

Ever had a moment where you needed to go buy groceries but couldn’t pay because the payment system is down nation wide?

Many people did many times and if you don’t have cash on you, well you can’t pay for shit.

A cashless society is not a good thing. And that is especially dumb since a merchant can’t refuse legal tender, but the federal government is refusing legal tender by doing this.

We’re in an era where corporations are buying housing at an unprecedented rate.

They have deep pockets, so even though the people holding mortgage will see relief, we will also see more housing bought by corporations.

The normal person cannot compete with the corporations, and they will have to either outbid the corporation, or hope that the seller find their story touching and sell them the house even if the bid is lower.

So yeah, prices will raise for sure.

You got some serious reading comprehension issues. I am talking about you.

“akchually, there wasn’t enough racist comments”. One racist comment is too much.

The issue isn’t you doing your hobby projects however you want, it’s people being paid and produce LLM generated code.

And the biggest issue is managers/c-suites thinking that LLMs can replace senior devs.

And the biggest biggest issue is that the LLMs in their current mainstream form are terribly bad for the environment.

It’s rarely the case. You rarely work in vacuum where your work only affects what you do at the moment. There is always a downstream or upstream dependency/requirement that needs to be met that you have to take into account in your development.

You have to avoid the problem that might come later that you are aware of. If it’s not possible, you have to mitigate the impact of the future problems.

It’s not possible to know of all the problems that might/will happen, but with a little work before a project, a lot of issues can be avoided/mitigated.

I wouldn’t want civil engineers thinking like that, because our infrastructure would be a lot worse than it is today.

There is no issue here from Bitwarden POV, except the pushback they receive now.

Bitwarden got VC funding and the bell is ringing to bring the cows back in to be milked dry.

They are testing the water to see how people react, scale back a bit through whatever lies/PR, and will just wait for the right time to shove more shit.

This is a pattern we’ve seen over and over again.

Then he can shut the fuck up asking Trudeau to commit a federal crime, and he can work with agencies to contain the members of his party that are named in the reports.

But that would take effort and integrity, the antipod of the conservative party.

The situation is just strange all around. Poilievre openly asking Trudeau to commit a federal crime, but at the same time, won’t take the time to get the security clearance to get the information himself.

People are gobbling that bullshit and asking for more.

Man, why didn’t we think of not putting these zone at risk of flooding. That would stop all these recent flooding.

Realtors should just shut the fuck up.

That VC money was the start of the end. No reassurance can be trusted the moment a company accepts VC funding. It’s only a matter of time until Bitwarden makes their next enshittification move.

Do you have good resources to read on risc-v. I hear about it a lot, but haven’t found meaningful resources (to me) on it.

Thanks

Yeah, that’s probably more the issue. We’ve seen too many times throwaway code become production code because “it works already, we need to move forward”.

Thanks for your input.

I think I would like to follow all these people and their work on C, and their in depth knowledge. But free time is sparse, and I don’t have the mental energy when I do have some time.

As for my work, I work in a startup where I am the only one doing what I do. However, I have a lot of leeway in how I code, so I am always somewhat read on best practices. So I can’t really refer to a senior dev, but I can self-teach.

I think I coded enough that a lot of what I do is a reflex, and I often can approximate a first solution,but I have doubts all the time on how I implement new features. That makes it so that I am a slower coder and I really struggle to do fast prototyping.

I am aware enough of what I do well, and what I struggle, so there’s that.

At least, we know emotionally that it will get better with the second one haha, even if the day to day is rought.

With the first one, it felt like we would never get to the other side of it. But we did and we will for the second one.

I am eager to learn new things, so having so little free time is definitely tough. And the lack of sleep/energy makes it even harder.

Thanks for the encouragement, it’s nice to be acknowledged by someone else that went through the same thing. We often forget that we are not alone and a lot of people got through it before us.
