  • DOGE eats Musk? Billionaire entrepreneur's companies at risk as he reignites feud with Trump

  • It's ok to enjoy it. But don't become complacent.

  • It's not a bug, it's a feature

  • My wife has an anaphylactic allergy to whey. I guess we'll now be waiting for the day she has a reaction to "vegan" milk.

    Does anyone keep a black widow spider as a pet?

    Jump

  • I have a significant colony of false widows (steatoda) around the house. They're very chill and mostly stay outside and make webs in corners.

  • Why AOC should run for president in 2028

    Jump

  • In all likelihood, yes, she will lose.

    But she should still run for the same reasons Bernie ran. Change the discourse and prevent unfettered ratcheting of the Overton window; force Democrats to respond to her challenge.

    If she doesn't run, we all lose. Winning isn't quite everything.

  • What's your "Oh fuck, that actually worked!" Linux moment that made you feel like a wizard?

    Jump

  • Random one recently:

    Turned my gaming box into an impromptu audio mixer by connecting my PS5 audio into the line in and routing it with pipewire to the speaker output so I could game while watching endurance racing on the same speakers.

    Later found it was easier to do visually with qpwgraph.

  • Trump, Hegseth Rage Over Bombshell Leak — Reveal FBI Criminal Probe

  • bombshell leak

    Someone is walking around with a smug grin today.

  • Republican representative's ectopic pregnancy clashes with Florida abortion law

    Jump

  • “There will be some comments like, ‘Well, thank God we have abortion services,’ even though what I went through wasn’t an abortion,” she told the outlet.

    What else do you think taking the drug does other than abort the pregnancy?

    Goddammit, how thick can you be?

    There's no saving this one. What a dumbass.

  • LeetCode for System Design

    Jump

  • Copy paste of one one of the 2 comments that reflects my feelings.

    This kind of thing frustrates me so much. Hiring and interviewing for software engineers is just so broken and detached from reality.

    In theory, this should be the easiest discussion to pass while interviewing if you've done some kind of related work or qualified. Instead it's just turning into another insane cargo culted game where you need to do things according to some weird rules and hit certain buzzwords.

    Engineering the hiring process is the perfect example of how tech solutioning can be the problem.

  • Pdf to odt/docx conversion has me weeping!

    Jump

  • Yeah, also a dev here. I'd be so happy if they'd parted ways with the 90s legacy bits at some point. Just glad there are enough parsing libraries that I'll never need to care (right? Please tell me I'm right!).

  • Pdf to odt/docx conversion has me weeping!

    Jump

  • This is probably my first time ever using it for an appropriate purpose as this team's technical docs are destined for the press (and digital distribution). They just have no idea how to software, so I was brought in to build bridges between and ultimately simplify all their tools.

  • Pdf to odt/docx conversion has me weeping!

    Jump

  • https://pdf2docx.readthedocs.io/ seems to fit the bill. I can't vouch for it.

    PDF is such a curse. I say this as a person currently tasked with deploying new mysteriously complex enterprise PDF conversion software for technical documents. The rabbit hole is so deep.

  • Finland warms up the world's largest sand battery, the economics look appealing

    Jump

  • It’s also the cheapest in Europe at just under €0.08 per kilowatt-hour — less than half the EU average.

    I'd be so happy with the average. That would be less than half of what we pay.

    Less junk, fewer things. Less anxiety, fewer panic attacks.

    ... And I already reached semantic satiation with "fewer."

  • What's your advice for someone driving their first manual transmission car?

    Jump

  • You've gotten a lot of solid practical advice, so I'll take it to theory.

    Learn how it works and what happens when you push that clutch in and let it out.

    Here's a video with a lot of detail and animation.
