Oof.

My employer pays a buttload of money to CircleCI - for extensive checks (build, lint, formatting, full test suite, as well as custom scripts for translation converage, docs,… for the full tech stack) on every push. Reviews start only when everything passes.

I think you have given me a new-found appreciation for the reasoning behind that decision… 😄

Lmao, what, that’s wild. How did they justify this??

I think if you want to copy a specific selection to a mouse-based, different program then it makes sense to use the mouse for precision selection.

I’m waiting for the Proxmox NixOS project to take off. I like the (network) seperability.

Laughs in Proxmox + NixOS

(yes I know not for every usecase)

It does not. Spending money you borrow at an interest rate that’s as low as it currently is, is way, way, way cheaper than going “Oops, sorry, there’s currently no money for roads / bridges / hospitals / Kitas /…” and waiting until they’ve fallen into complete unrepairability, at t which point you’ll have to rebuild for way more money.

And speaking of Kitas: we currently have far too few. This forces some parents to stay at home even though they want to work. Borrow money, build Kita, a sizeable portion of the population returns to the workplace.

Better infrastructure allows people to earn more. More earnings is more taxes collected, without raising them on the individual.

I’ve gone nearly insane trying to argue about this with family. How hard is it to see that investment in infrastructure pays dividends in the long run??

Are there? I think they’re super handy for just… Having information. Easily discoverable by search engines, and much more coherent than following a forum thread.

As the author of an obscure static site generator. I feel called out.

My personal blog currently has one (1) post. It’s about how to get started blogging with my SSG. Oops.
