  • What is your most "Fuck you, this is actually awesome?" take?

  • I agree. I don't need the truck part very often, but when I do, it is so nice. I got a BEV truck and it's also stupid fast, especially for a truck. And it has outlets everywhere, 4x 110V 20A in the back plus a 220v 30A, and more 110V in the cab and the frunk! 130kWh of mobile power.

    The suspension is sloppy, the tires are squishy. But I don't mind that most of the time (I do wish the dampers were a just bit more aggressive).

  • Yeah, I wasn't trying to offer commentary. It was pure observation.

    The irony in all of this is that we all bring expectation and prejudice to any discussion (and to think we don't is pure hubris). So, I expected my extemporaneous comment to be controversial when I hit that post button.

  • Oh no.

  • It just occurred to me that the specific tone of the writing sounded more like developers writing about a bug than people addressing human issues.

    I don't follow Ubuntu politics and hope they can learn from this experience.

  • This response reads like a corner case bug with a workaround and a better long-term fix now in the works because it finally bit them hard enough to hurt.

  • What an absolutely useless piece of fluff.

    Go drive your racecar and shut up, dhh.

  • Just remember that actual profit isn't important to investors. They're only here make money on the growth of the investment.

    Goddamn parasites.

  • 5B run rate explains the wild 183B valuation better. The calculus is usually a solid return after 3 years and double or better by 5, so they're being on something like a 500B valuation by 2030.

    And they very likely won't be profitable in the real sense even then.

  • I see. That definitely makes 13B way more sane.

  • If it gives you any solace, we're not in the device software group and don't even interface with them.

  • $500 million in run-rate revenue

    Absolutely astounding that they can raise $13B on a sixth round of funding on that.

    For the less finance jargon savvy, "run-rate revenue" just means projected annual revenue.

    All this means they spent 3 years of revenue to make this go away.

    Absolutely not a profitable business lol.

  • The future of tech interviews

    Jump

  • I was a platform engineer for a cyber security company for 6+ years and had worked in another ramshackle garage-based startup before that. I was burnt out and angry all the time. On call for a week out of every month.

    I recently got a job writing software fully remote for a medical device company with a single 30min interview with a non-technical manager.

    They don't even know how to use my skills well. My "mentor" can hardly write an Excel formula. My boss has once seen an excruciatingly simple app I made at someone else's request. I built it in a couple hours. It has a file chooser button and a run button. Blew her mind. Multi-platform builds are now automated via CI/CD. I seriously over-deliver and they won't ever know it.

    I actually put in about 30 hours/week and bill 40. I have 3-4 short meetings a week to interface with a couple vendors. None of them, even my 1:1 with my boss is on camera. It just isn't done. I get maybe 2 chat messages and 2 emails a day.

    Easiest $150k/yr ever. And my spouse has great benefits through work.

    Why the hell would I ever go back to "tech?"

  • how to start with self-hosting?

    Jump

  • I might recommend starting with a project.

    Something like getting pi-hole running. This would help you learn some of the networking basics. But I'd recommend reading at least enough to have a conceptual foundation about the things you don't understand along the way (DNS, DHCP, etc).

    You'll want one of their supported OS choices to keep things simple. That means one of: fedora, debian, ubuntu, or centos. I might steer you away from centos just because its user base is a bit more linux-pro so finding specific help might be more daunting, but I don't have much experience with it either. Maybe use a "server" variant to keep your system demand to a minimum (boot to terminal only).

  • What are some chill sports?

    Jump

  • Curling is probably a tough one to include for someone with a lung issue, at least as a newbie, and without significant modification.

    It might work with the right team at a casual club level (I've done a "no sweep Saturday" team before). I don't imagine OP taking to running up and down the ice most of the game while putting in some effort to sweep.

    Using a stick delivery is another good way to reduce physical effort. Throwing takeouts alone can wind people.

    And then there's the yelling.

    You might get away with throwing lead stones with a stick delivery and skipping for maximum reduction of physical effort even at a more competitive level.

  • Linux Foundation says yes to NoSQL via DocumentDB

    Jump

  • Mongo DB popularized the "document DB" model which is just storing JSON in a database and offering a way to interact with it roughly like you would data in a traditional relational DB.

    7ish years ago, they got fed up with the major cloud providers offering their free software as a service and changed their license to one that is more restrictive.

    Of course this is sort of the inevitable outcome: a cloud provider builds a competing product and then "open sources" it in a way that will allow them to grab mind share and eventually erode the company that dared to demand compensation for a "free" product.

    Microsoft added a middle finger by announcing it just before mongo released quarterly financials too.
