Endless Sky for me
Endless Sky for me
Also looking forward to this week here. Work from home is awesome! I just spent a month and a half on a cross-sountry (USA) road trip while working the whole time. I’m fortunate for the opportunity to do so–and to visit and crash with friends and family along the way–but I am glad to be home.
My wife and I towed a 5’ x 8’ U-haul trailer the 2,000+ miles back home from FL to CO, moving our friend’s stuff in so he can live with us for a while (he drove back with us in his own car). A really awesome trip in a lot of respects, but stressful to take meetings and try to program on the go. Learned my lesson: two weeks max for a trip like that, or take the PTO.
Am I one of the few who just doesn’t use AI at all? I don’t have to generate tons of code for work at the moment and brand new projects that I’ve been given are small–meaning I wouldn’t necessarily use it to generate starter boilerplate. I have coworkers that love copilot or spend much longer prompting ChatGPT than they would if they wrote code themselves. A majority of my time is spent modelling the problem, gathering rejuirements, researching others’ solutions online (likely this step could be better AI-assisted?), not actually implementing a solution in code.
Anyway, I’m not super anti-AI in software development, and I see where it could be useful. Maybe it just isn’t for me yet. The current hype around it as well as the attitude of big-tech exceptionalism (“AI can salve all our problems”) feels a bit like a bubble, at least regarding the current generation of LLMs and ML
Feel exactly this… Sometimes you just still want one randomly. But 99.999% of the time do not think about it at all anymore
*sigh can’t have any fun in the DOT I guess
My thoughts exactly. DRM has rone way off the deep end
What do you mean by “doesn’t read from the same directory”? Is part of your application’s function to read in data from files in your project’s directory tree?
Without seeing the directory structure of your project, or some more actual code samples its hard to understand how to help 😅
That is amazing! Now, I need to see about using weather satellites to explain the bugs in my code at work…
Wow that’s nice! I get 600/25mbps for $80USD in the US, coax 😞 wish fiber-to-the-premise was a possibility in my neighborhood
10Gb to the home? Where have you seen this, and.for how much? I had no idea that was a thing for residential
Ahh I missed that!
Makes more sense then – that seemed a bit long for any update
I booted up that system and after waiting an hour or so for Windows Update to finish
… 🙄
Crazy workstation though – wish I had need for all that power so I could justify buying one to play with
Overwatch 2 (unranked) on PS5 (mostly a way to hang with my brother who lives in another country)
And also MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries on my Linux laptop
Though we are moving to kubernetes & helm soon, currently we use migration scripting tools (like alembic
) for schema and data migration on app start, and our infrastructure/devops team uses ansible for deployment. Currently, we don’t have CI/CD straight to production—it’s still a manual process—but I hope to change that as our organization starts using k8s.

- William E. Shotts Jr., The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction
It has taken me a long time to get comfortable using a Linux CLI (definitely not as familiar with windows cmd prompt/powershell), and I know that if I log into a box anywhere, If it has sh
or bash
or some variant of those shells, I’ll be able to get by.
Now, on my home server, moving & renaming a bunch of media files has me really wishing I had a DE installed there to Ctrl + click/Drag-n-drop…
Also, I love using VScodium/Code as an IDE bc of its configurability & rich plugin ecosystem – but recently I had some performance hiccups with extensions not playing nice together and started (again) down the masochistic path of configuring neovim to use as an “IDE”…
Don’t know if this will help assuage your fears: https://www.techradar.com/news/mullvads-no-log-policy-proven-after-police-raid
I’ve used Mullvad for years, and from what I know, they store almost nothing – only your randomly generated account number. If you are paying using an anonymous method that’s even less to go on.
