The uae is a huge concern. Their terms demand they get to see your code. When the vPBX company I worked for tried to get into the uae, it was a 10mil boondoggle that ended up ruining them.

The security software I maintained had one engineer.

Your move, sec nerds.

Just pining for the microgravity.

Running npm install would give me a mini heart attack

It should; but more because it installs things right off the net with no validation. Consistency of code product is not the only thing you’re tossing.

It’s not the product, it’s the cavalier consumption of unsigned add-ons despite knowing better.

Typescript, VS Code, and DotNet Core

Aren’t these all just its own products?

And wow, do I hate VS Code. Just sayin.

Two things:

• our alexa units are fine. We manage a half-dozen bulbs and a set-top box.
• if they want a subscription to keep doing that, HomeAssistant becomes the top job on the queue.

That’s it.

slag?

I peaced out at 2. Manager was a bit of a prick, and the office was bright, hot, cramped, loud, and had no visual or audio privacy.

No fucking thanks.

Found a job thanks to my peers and it’s a little more pay and 100% remote as per the union contract. Wheeee. Work anywhere in the country.

This would be a handy way to get rid of half your staff, but the people you chase away are usually the ones you want to keep. As per the Dead-Sea Effect, the ones who will leave are the ones who generally are more able to, who will be your most employable people, and thus your most talented. Usually.

Making work suck, and letting the best half of the staff bail, seems like stupid and a game show.

Lenovo: it may as well be Huawei.

You… don’t follow that rule?

So much this.

But where? How?

I hate how they don’t seem to know how (not) to pluralize ‘e-mail’.

They’re writers, for god’s sake. They were around before ‘e-mail’ was one word. Well, probably not those writers: too old now if you can spell.

A small landlord who has a normal job, if they want to improve the world, they do it through their job or personal projects, they build something or create something or whatever.

A big landlord who does nothing else, they aren’t actually creating anything, they’re just rent seeking and the most creative way they can imagine to improve the world is to rent seek even harder.

You’re forgetting: Property Management is a career, and for a reason. Unmaintained properties run into bigger issues until they’re so bad a tenant has to move out – and then a tenant has no place to live without a massive rent increase as the rent is re-based on the prevailing economic rape instead of whatever it was 10 years ago with its 2% yearly increase.

Big landlords are uncaring, but they do manage the property. Good ones manage it well, fixing windows and pipes and pot-holes, etc. Less ‘broken-window effect’ and more peaceful days between goddamned fire alarm testing.

This time for sure !

I know some really smart people who fawn over apple. They get excited while talking about the new feature I have on my 2019 Samsung or my win10 desktop.

You ever notice that it kinda sounds a lot like your little nephew talking about dinosaurs?

but there’s a lot of natural gas ready to be exploited

Sooooo money. That’s the exception to doing the right thing?

You’re cheating by using trends to predict this. :-p

So heely wheels deliberately pluralize wrong?

So is coal extraction. How long has that coal fire burned under that town? 60 years?
