    But also making traffic safer

    Think we need to introduce a mandatory period where you need to drive an old car with no ABS when you’ve just gotten your license. I mean for me that was called being a broke-ass student, but nowadays cars with no ABS are starting to cost more than cars with ABS, traction control and even ESP, because the 80s and early 90s cars where these things were optional, are now classics, whereas you can get a BMW or Audi that was made this century for like 500-800 euros if you’re brave or just want to move in to your garage full time.



  • I liked YouTrack. Only used it as a dev, not a manager or tech support though. But from what I saw, everyone seemed at least OK with it and some people were downright happy to use it.

    It’s free for up to 10 users and available as a docker image, in case you want to try it out before committing, or pitching it to higher-ups. Cloud version is available too of course.

    They are raising prices in October though. Not sure how it’ll compare to Jira or how it does now, I’ve never had to pay for either myself.


  • And I’d trust the guy who created Ted Lasso and Shrinking to do what it takes to make the worth watching.

    And Scrubs. The original show itself. He created it. He’s not some rando taking over.

    But honestly, Bill Lawrence has single-handedly built up the comedydrama side of Apple TV+. Ted Lasso, Shrinking, Bad Monkey… All great shows. And I don’t even care about football normally.

    I’ll take this one with a grain of salt instead of the usual salt mountain. It’s still a reboot. But it looks like they’re also getting at least some of the other cast members back too. Mostly I’m hoping for Cox and Kelso. Carla and Janitor are apparently semi-confirmed? And I think Jordan is more or less confirmed considering the actress is literally married to Bill Lawrence and actively takes part in his projects.

    Basically, read it as “you should kill yourself if you’re not exactly where your ancestors lived 10000 years ago”. That’s what these people seem to think, they just don’t want to say the quiet part out loud.

    I live in a country where we have a very large amount of Russians, many of whom completely lack citizenship because they moved here during the soviet occupation so didn’t get automatic Estonian citizenship after our independence, but also haven’t gotten Estonian or Russian citizenship after the fact. This number has decreased over the years because most people have acquired some citizenship, but we still have tens of thousands with no state at all. I can’t imagine simply deporting all of those people. In fact, we’re now giving out citizenship to children of non-citizen parents who have lived in the country for at least 5 years, to avoid creating more stateless people. This is despite the fact that a lot of those people getting citizenship are also the descendants of settlers, with roots in a country hostile to our own. Those people’s entire lives are here, who are we to uproot them just because we were here first? It’s too late now.



  • Java 8 to 21 + spring boot 2 to 3 brought the need to change a lot of dependencies, but often they were drop-in replacements. That was mostly Jakarta stuff. On the Spring side, a lot of things we used were deprecated, but that was not related to the Java version.

    Did not take a huge amount of time to upgrade anyway. But maybe our systems weren’t the most complex in the first place, a lot of our applications were pretty small.



  • I have a toddler. Takes me half an hour just to get out of the house. A diaper and clothes change alone with a 1 year old with the strength of Atlas and the personality of Sheogorath is pretty much like one of those sped up Benny Hill scenes.

    If I ever get to fly again, I’m packing a damn week in advance and arriving at the airport 4 hours early.
