Am I going to have a bad time trying to switch to Wayland? I just use discord, Spotify, steam, some basic steam games, Krita, and emacs

I have a lot of experience as a software engineer in the industry, and used to teach public middle school. I would love to teach a course or two a year because education is a passion of mine, but only have a BA of Education, do you think it’s worth applying to teach at my local community college? I saw my local college had a requirement of a master’s degree in CS, which I do not have.
I’d prefer it over just a grass yard or being right up on a road having to listen to road sounds at all hours
I mean, right now I’m shopping for a house with a decent sized property so I can grow a permaculture food forest to get fresh healthy veggies and fruit.
20’ of lawn is like enough for two rows of fruit trees and berry bushes
Perhaps strong communities are exactly what we need to resist modern fascism. Communities of high trust and resilience that can resist culture war propaganda.
Oh man I work with one of the PhDs who invented several of the space weather formulas. He’s got books about it. I want to show him this so bad, but I don’t think he would find it funny 😭
Maybe he’d laugh at the evil wizards part.
This is why I love more abstract systems like Fate Core or Cortex Prime. They’ve got systems flexible enough to be turned into really anything you want. I ran a Fate Core game for a year that had tons of cooking and feasts, modeled off of the Redwall books. The heros were always preparing some feast or finding some new food to forage.
This ‘carrier bag theory’ is brilliant. It makes a lot of sense that being able to carry lots of things is so much more important than throwing a stick. Another comment called it “unfathomably based” and I agree.
Also, we aren’t going to “beat” climate change. We’re going to have to humble ourselves and say no to things. We’re going to have to adapt, not overcome.
I suppose this is a hot take, but I’d never intentionally select a closed source paid database or programming language. Your data is the most valuable thing you have. The idea that you’d lock yourself into a contract with a third party is extremely risky.
For example, I’ve never seen a product on Oracle that didn’t want to migrate off, but every one has tightly coupled everything Oracle so it’s nearly impossible. Why start with Oracle in the first place? Just stay away from paid databases, they are always the wrong decision. It’s a tax on people who think they need something special, when at most they just need to hire experts in an open source database. It’ll be much much cheaper to just hire talent.
Meanwhile I’ve done two major database shifts in my career, and you are correct, keeping to ANSI standard SQL is extremely important. If you’re on a project that isn’t disciplined about that, chances are they are undisciplined about so many other things the whole project is a mess that’ll be gone in ten years anyway. I know so few projects that have survived more than fifteen years without calls for a “rewrite”. Those few projects have been extremely disciplined about 50% of all effort is tech debt repayment, open source everything, and continuous modernization.
I don’t think it’s going away until ECMA supports native types. Until then it’s the best game in town.
If a team decides to move away from it, it’s only few hours work to entirely remove. So even if it’s going away, it’s risk free until then.
But I cannot imagine why any team would elect to remove Typescript without moving to something else similar. Unless it’s just a personal preference by the developers who aren’t willing to learn it. It removes so many issues and bugs. It makes refactoring possible again. I think teams that want to remove all types are nostalgic, like a woodworker who wants to use hand tools instead of power tools. It’s perfectly fine, and for some jobs it’s better. But it’s not the most efficient use of a team to build a house.
This right here is why I became a national firefighter and am enrolled in EMT school. I have no interest in fighting overseas for oil, but I want to be ready to mobilize to fight climate change. Imagine a Civil Defense group focused on fighting climate change, not only the effects, but the root causes. I want to be in that group. I want to be ready to defend our planet from all attackers, and climate change is truly our biggest threat right now.
Sure I’d follow
Man I gotta get into these, the art is stunning
I wish I had a cozy fireplace!
Absolutely epic
A fantastic pose. I love the turn of the head
What a great painting. The warm colors make it feel so dynamic
Wow this looks great, reminds me of Thomas Moran
I loved this book as a kid. The stories were just so creepy and weird
Wow that’s good news, I’ll have to give it a shot
