It's been years since, but I too had brain zaps coming off of it. It took a few months for those to go away.

I tried to describe it to my doctor and he seemed like he never heard of it before and sort of look at me like I was crazy, or at least that is what I sensed. But I ended up researching online and found it was a thing that happens.

I think what you're describing is wisdom, as described in the Serenity Prayer:

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

> It seems most people today have headphones on all the time.

I don't know about other people, but for me, if I'm using my earbuds it is because someone around me is being distracting and/or annoying.

I usually prefer silence for work, but often that isn't an option.

In .NET, I think Dapper comes closest to what you are describing. It does the object mapping, but you still write the queries as SQL.

Gopher and Usenet died

Who decides what is constructive?

It's not news to me.

I wonder if this could be related to these recent privacy related changes.

If your code is "co-authored by Copilot", does that then allow future AI to train on it without your consent?

In typical Microsoft form, they locked further comments on the GitHub PR.

Why did you lock the comments on the GitHub issue?

(Edit: I meant to say PR, not issue...)

Except developers run docker compose locally all the time.

And even if I am just using Excel, my work still deserves to be respected by the operating system.

> loading a cross repo issue is a much slower experience

Why not solve the real problem instead of putting in a janky workaround?

At risk of being cliche, it seems like you guys could benefit from the 5 Whys approach here: "Why is loading a cross repo issue slow?" and iterate until you discover the root cause, and fix that.

I suspect fixing the root cause is going to be a lot less glorious career-wise than implementing a UX change that is easier to tout at review time (well maybe not so much after this debacle).

Are you suggesting that because I consider stars, I must be a freeloader?

Ironically, when your identity is tightly coupled to opposing a thing you hate (Capitalism in your example), you feel personally threatened by a potential solution to it.

The fucking article.

> I don't think I have ever used stars in making a decision to use a library and I don't understand why anyone would

I do it all the time, whenever there are competing libraries to choose among.

It's a heuristic that saves me time.

If one library has 1,000 stars and the other has 15, I'm going to default to the 1,000 stars.

I also look at download count and release frequency. Basically I don't want to use some obscure dependency for something critical.

I love how the author thinks developers write commit messages.

All joking aside, it really is a chronic problem in the corporate world. Most codebases I encounter just have "changed stuff" or "hope this works now".

It's a small minority of developers (myself included) who consider the git commit log to be important enough to spend time writing something meaningful.

AI generated commit messages helps this a lot, if developers would actually use it (I hope they will).

The thing is, falling down (ie. failing at things) can take a lot out of you, physically, mentally, financially, spiritually.

For most of us, taking calculated risks is better than simply taking more risks.

And the risk calculation changes based on your personal circumstances: physically falling has a greater impact on an old person than a young person, making a financial mistake has a greater impact on someone who has no savings than someone who is wealthy, etc.

So "let yourself fall down more" isn't really one size fits all advice.

Touched a nerve I guess.

Care to elaborate?

I also knew people who had MUD addictions.

These were very similar to how in later years people became addicted to Second Life or EverQuest and essentially dropped out of society.

I don't know if there is a modern-day equivalent, to be honest.

I am sure IRC was good for some people, but I can say for me personally it was a net negative and real life was so, so much better. I wish I never used IRC.

I also personally witnessed multiple friends who dropped out of college due to IRC addiction in the early 1990s.

I am curious if anyone else has a similar memory of IRC.

I don't see how people use social media apps with notifications turned on.

I just disable all notifications and it doesn't bother me to have LinkedIn because I only open it when I feel like it. Same with Facebook, etc.

Incredibly, the default is always for notifications to be enabled, and I don't know how people live like that.

> Telling people they can't unsupport something

Yes.

I have no involvement in this drama (it's the first I've heard of it actually), but signing your name to something matters.

Choose carefully what/who you support.

A repo owner is not obligated to accept contributions.

All of those people are free to create their own repo, post on social media, or write an article recanting their support if they choose to do so.

Interesting.

Is there someplace I can find information about how section 174 aligns with the frequency and size of layoffs?

Not impossible, just more difficult to guess.

"Security through obscurity" isn't really good enough.

It sounds like there were two separate problems:

The first was that 123456 was the credentials for the admin panel.

The second was an insecure direct object reference, where the lead_id querystring parameter can be changed on an API call to retrieve another applicant's data.

I wasn't trying to be hyperbolic actually. I really would be happy if an exit would happen in 10 years.

Thankfully, I can be patient, but I wonder sometimes if some of these companies will ever exit.

6 years?

As an LP, I would be excited for liquidity in 10 years at this point.

It seems like even for successful companies, there isn't a clear path to an exit for many of them. Add to that the increase in late-stage investors, and there isn't much of an incentive to exit.

> it will no longer be possible to say that the ability to give birth is a condition for being a woman

This "gotcha game" has become so tiresome.

> or stuff I need long periods of time without interruption.

This is every day for a developer though.

Many smaller companies are what you describe.

The pay will probably be less, but it is a trade-off.
