A contract for a salaried position may say something like “you will work 40 hours a week but you maybe have to work some moderate overtime to complete tasks at certain times throughout the year.” (Probably better worded than that) but that means they can expect you to work overtime every now and then if there is a deadline or a project that requires it. But if its every week or an unreasonable amount of overtime per week then you should be compensated with time in lieu or extra money. It all depends on your contract.

I’m tired, boss.

All hail the fork!

Once governments stop or reduce funding for the meat and dairy industries, prices will continue to go up and more people will be like you. At the end of the day, animal products (especially those from bovines) aren’t super sustainable and cost a lot more than we pay at the supermarket.

Yes! Love it!

You can even compile to a native executable these days I believe so you don’t have to have the .net runtime installed or bundled.

I’m a mix between chaotic neutral and lawful neutral. I have a vertical monitor on my left which is mainly for slack + documents. Center screen for code and what ever I’m focused on and laptop screen on the right for calendar, email, other not in focus things.

Who downvotes this? Chris Sawyer is the GOAT.

At one point I watched a few videos about marvel films and the negatives about them. One was about how captian marvel wasn’t a good hero because she was basically invincible and all powerful etc etc. I started getting more and more suggestions about how bad the new strong female leads in modern films are. Then I started getting content about politically right leaning shit. It started really innocuously and it’s hard to figure out if it’s leading you a certain way until it gets further along. It really made me think when I’m watching content from new channels. Obviously I’ve blocked/purged all channels like that and my experience is fine now.

I’m surprised that he didn’t mention Rust when talking about type inference. The way it does it is excellent.

I’m running a 3 pi cluster with k3s at the moment. The main benefit I’ve found is that all my pis run exactly the same software setup as a base so it’s easy to add new ones or replace/update one. I use a deployment management application to push my deployments too which means it’s super easy to redeploy everything if something goes funky.

A k8s cluster can run on a single host if that’s what you want. I’m not sure if it would be worth the virtualisation cost to run it on VMs in the middle as well. If you were only ever going to run on a single host I probably wouldn’t use k8s though, I would just run containers. 🤷‍♂️

This is exactly what happened to me. I was a team lead at my old job and I interviewed as a senior dev but got offered a standard dev position. In the end they offered me the same money as what I was making as a team lead so I took it and have never looked back! The reduced pressure and better work-life balance are so good. I now earn much more than I did at my old gig so 🤷‍♂️

Plenty more bugs to fix, don’t give up being a contributor!

My process is:

1. Check for an issue that describes the bug you’re seeing.
2. If there isn’t one, create one.
3. If you feel like it’ll be snapped up because it’s a relatively easy fix, comment on the issue saying you’ll give it a go.
4. Fix it!

There is still a chance someone might swoop in and fix it but this lowers the chances and it’s good to get into the habit of creating and linking Issues to your PRs.

Yep this is me. I love learning languages and I’m a software dev for my job.

I don’t agree with this one. The meaning of words change and that’s true of ‘Less’.

I generally don’t agree with these prescriptivist positions though.

Speaking of which, is there a r/fuckcars equivalent over here?
