It is quite scary being a software engineer and living in the UK right now. This is going to really damage the (already bad) job market.

How absolutely horrifying. Is this the future we can expect from climate change? Murdering the people who try to escape the suffering we have inflicted upon them?

Yes the impact is beneficial

I think you are sad and lonely.

No I think you’re right.

In that case, what a sad, pathetic weak-minded little man he is.

A good reminder why I shouldn’t come to hacker news anymore.

What’s a spectrumite?

Uhh rude. I use arch btw

You can record macros in helix.

"... in the US".

When I focus the text input on your website all your CSS disappears. Chrome on Android.

Not even sure how that's possible.

Also I don't want to have the Devs in my team have to use containers where had no need for them before. It's not a nice cross platform experience.

Sorry if I'm sounding defensive here, but I'm really not into having a worse experience just to fit I to Microsoft's hellscape.

Sorry but I don't want to install Microsoft's text editor to deploy an app.

It's a basic next.js app, nothing special.

I tried the app service config on GitHub actions and it was ridiculous to say the least. 15 minutes to copy the files over and then it didn't launch the app correctly even after I specified how to launch it. Pitfalls at every step.

It's like the UI was designed by a child.

You're saying a lot of "just", and to be honest those tasks aren't simple things that I can just do. For example having a docker registry that I now have to secure and babysit is not what I'm here for.

I'm not sure why you're trying to argue that Azure is good.

Very cool. Unfortunately I'm going to have to plug my tool too. I've been using it for a while now and it has changed my life: https://github.com/AndrewVos/proj

I would love to get this done quick. Do you have a link to something usable?

So many things. One that is irritating me a lot right now is how complex it is to deploy to an "App Service" and how nothing seems to work.

Also it's incredibly slow.

https://github.com/Azure/webapps-deploy/issues/60

And the fact that we're locked into using it means I have to take my 50 second netlify deploy and migrate it to a 15 minute ADO deploy, losing out on loads of features and gaining none.

No I only have uBlock and AdGuard Home - ok that's a lot now that I think about it!

Most things made by Microsoft are horrific. Just look at Azure.

It's because they have a bad culture and developers who could never care about their capitalist hell products.

Once your company is stuck into a contract with them it's almost impossible to change, so why do they care about fixing anything.

Not sure what the deal is with this website but I can't scroll or otherwise interact with it at all. Amazing work really.

Chrome on Android

Azure is absolutely ridiculous though? You think the people working there are talented?

It's people like you that keep holding humanity back from really flourishing. Think on that for a bit.

Probably because sexual abuse is a bad thing that happens, but not something that invalidates taking drugs to cure depression?

I'm always amazed to find techie people that don't use something at least as good as https://dnsimple.com/.

I've been using them since 2011 and have not had a single issue.

In fact, they have just kept on progressively getting better!

I love my cast iron pan, but I also love having some carbon steel pans around.

DeBuyer carbon steel pans are the same price as Lodge cast iron and are much lighter and better for certain tasks. The handle is a lot longer too, which makes it more fun to use than cast iron.

Yeah it is.

I always use dish soap, and it will definitely take off any oil that hasn't been polymerised.

I think the people who believe this (and use cast iron) probably haven't seasoned it hot enough or have scraped off the seasoning close enough to the metal.

Either that or its not being heated enough before applying the oil or steak

asdf is such an amazing piece of work. Reading this post I can see why the quality is so high. Amazing job.

Hah was literally thinking the same thing. "Department of wholesale torture and murder of innocent civilians" doesn't have the same ring to it though does it?

That's kinda different, bud.
