What is the IDE support like in Kotlin? I've never had to look at it professionally. I use VSCode because it works much better with my screen reading software then IntelliJ. As far as I can tell to get a decent develop experience IntelliJ is your only option?
I've been doing this for over ten years. Experience doesn't guarantee you'll be a great or even good programmer, but it sure helps especially if you're in environments where you will be pushed to take on more responsibilities and have mentorship.
There's a difference between the integrity of the Russian state and the continuation of Putin's regime. It's not clear to me what the odds of the Russian state breaking up are if Putin were to lose power.
The United States does not need to win a war, they just need to provide enough military support to Ukraine so that the resources Russia devotes to Ukraine reduce their expeditionary military capability. Russia is already pulling forces out of Syria and is not getting involved in the Azerbaijan Armenia conflict even though by treaty they should be supporting Armenia.
Not everyone's best match is a programmer, if my wife were required to write her own matching function, she would never have used the site that matched us.
There may not be a "diversity and inclusion" requirement, but I wonder if using an alternative OS could be considered reasonable accommodations in disability law? I'm totally blind and interviewed at a startup and when I told them I needed a Windows machine for accessibility reasons they decided it wasn't worth having me do the take-home coding project. At that point I decided if they were going to refuse to make what I consider a reasonable accommodation I'm glad I found out before wasting time on a take-home project. If the job was IOS development, then they'd have a point, but it was all back-end work that could just as easily be done with WSL under Windows as Mac OS.
I'll make sure to mark Gitlab off a company I apply at if I look for a new job. I'm totally blind and have been using Windows screen readers for the last 25 years. The switching cost to Mac or Linux appears to be incredibly high. I've attempted to use both and after brief usage was not able to get close to my productivity on Windows. Maybe that would change if they were my only option but I'm not going to risk poor productivity at a new job on that. I focus on back-end development and since WSL came out, I've not run into any situation where I can't do what I need using Windows, WSL, and VS Code.
It depends on what you mean by decline. In 1900 Britain was a lot more powerful on the international stage then it is today. I'd much rather live in Britain now though because even though it has "declined" living standards are a lot better in 2022 then 1900. I have concerns for the future of the U.S when it comes to politics and polarization. I don't think a future where the average living standards have increased in the U.S but we no longer are as dominant as we currently are in international relations and economics is a bad thing. It isn't our right to be a superpower and the largest economy in the world. I worry that other people in America don't share my view and if we "decline" it will be messy.
I'd like to use this so I can use my Chromebook to connect to my desktop while away from home to do hobby development. Running VSCode as a Linux app is not an option since the CHrome OS screen reader does not support Linux apps.
I would like news delivered on a set schedule once or twice a day to stop me from doom scrolling and refreshing. The closest I've been able to find is the Economist. It's not perfect but I like the fact that I can sit down when the weekly addition comes out every Thursday. Now if only there was a preference in the app to update the world in brief section once a day.
Although it may have only taken a week to create the initial version of Git the amount of polish and documentation required to get it to something someone like me who's not a kernel developer was a lot more than a week's worth of work. You may be able to get 80% of the functionality in 20% of the time but it's that last 20% of functionality that gives software enough polish to actually be used by someone who doesn't have an incredibly specific reason to figure out how to use the unpolished software.
I used to work out at a gym in the same building as my job. During lockdowns I switched jobs to a company that doesn't have a gym in their office and is mostly remote. I bought a power rack that got shoved in a dark corner of my basement and find I'm working out more regularly now than I ever did when I had to go to a gym during my workday.
Why would Russia agree? By limiting food exports, they are hurting Ukraine's economy. What makes you think they are concerned about lives of people in other countries if there willing to go to war with Ukraine?
The recurrence is the one reason I don't use Taskwarrior. I use topydo instead because recurrence works better with it. The project may be dead but as long as I can get a few years out of it I'll switch task lists when it finally totally breaks.
While most of what you said makes sense how do you find someone at the companies you're interested to talk to? I feel like unsolicited linkedin messages to developers at the company could backfire.
If you can never change who you are I'd never have gotten married or had kids. I'd still be at the same dead-end job because of my fear of change. I don't have great advice for you because I don't work at one of the big tech companies. I really hope HN doesn't represent the majority of our industry and people who want to better themselves because if it does maybe I should look at leaving software development.
I'd probably switch my workout time to early in the morning instead of getting a cup of coffee and browsing the internet before starting my work
day. I find drinking a cup of coffee and browsing the internet for 15 minutes in the morning has taken the place of my morning commute since the pandemic started, I'm sure I could find an alternative routine to get ready for the day. Once I had to start paying for my own coffee while working from home I went from 60 ounces a day down to 30. Maybe this helped me get better sleep or maybe I'm just less stressed two years into the pandemic, I'll probably never know unless I double my coffee consumption to find out which is not worth it.
Just avoid the ui and use the CLI instead.

Granted getting your custom templates configured with your custom fields set up by the administrator can be a giant pain.
Using a Kindle isn't the same experience for small children as being able to pick up a book and either flip through it or have a parent read it to them.
I used to check the front page about twice a day and the newest section anywhere from one to ten times a day depending on how busy I am. Now I've set up phihole to automatically block HN during my workday, so I don't spend too much time doomscrolling to see what the latest in Ukraine is.
