The other day I used the JetBrains AI to write some boilerplate code for me. The JetBrains AI code analyser then kicked in to tell me how poorly written the code was.

As a non European working for a European company, it is an interesting experience with non work times. The laws around working more than 8 hours a day are incredibly strict, and the company and all the managers will never ask or expect an employee to work more than the 8 hours. Even if you are on call and end up having to work, you have to then take time off during the week to “make up” for the time you worked while on call.

Yet I’ll be on call over a weekend trying to fix a problem at 2am, and my colleagues who aren’t on call just drop in to help because they saw the alert and felt like helping out.

It is like people want to actually positively contribute to the well being of the company when they are able to, because the company doesn’t try to drain every bit of will to live from their employees and respects that they are real people with lives.

Ah, you talking about Second Breakfast!

I call it breakfast

It is all true in the Country I live in. And the other Countries I have visited.

I guess not all Countries are the same, and forget that people in the US think everyone else is also from the US.

Depends on where you live I guess. In my country (not USA), no matter where you go all franchises of major chain restaurants have exactly the same prices. Having worked adjacent to the fast food industry in my country and dealing with the brand owners, price and consistency is very important, not only for their customer satisfaction, but also it made the marketing material easier.

Ironically, when I worked in this industry, part of the appeal of the company that I worked for is we allowed dynamic pricing exactly like what Wendy’s is proposing. The brand owners rejected the idea because marketing felt it would confuse customers, and technical didn’t want to do it because consolidating the incoming data and and standardising the POS data across franchises was a nightmare.

The whole idea of a franchise is so people can get the same menu at the same quality at the same price no matter where they are. Having dynamic pricing means you can’t even be assured of the price at a single location, let alone being in a new city with an unfamiliar restaurant.

If you don’t know what you are going to be able to buy with your $5, then might as well go to someplace different.

You don’t need to hack anything, you can use Binfmt_misc to tell the kernel how to load windows binaries

Yeah but then Pterodactyls bring that number back down again

Lucille, is that you?

Imagine the mess trying to torrent using IP over Avian Carriers

Which signals to investors that there is little to no expected growth. If you aren’t attracting new customers to grow your user base, then you only have the option to milk your existing customers to increase revenue.

That may work short term, but long term it signals a death knell for the company, since as the old customers retire or the studios close down, the new crop of game developers would have been trained on or adopted a different engine so aren’t going to switch to Unity. Eventually they just run out of customers.

That must be fun for people walking past the outside when you swing the door open.

Known issues: sometimes race conditions can cause instability in the system

If you are using a packaged version, try compiling it from source. On Arch the package from the repo would just not output and video, but after building from source it worked fine … some of the time.

It is still very hit and miss for me. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. I’m really hoping that the new Steam Link VR works on Linux.

This looks like it is talking about the DLC for the digital game

Zekenskyy should play a reverse Uno card and “invade” Russia at that point. Start rebuilding a better, more democratic Soviet Union. But I would want Putin to be alive at that point so he can see others succeed where he failed, by doing the complete opposite of him.

If you boot to an Ubuntu iso, you can use arch-chroot to set up everything you need correctly. Done this many times when I borked my Arch boot process

What the company likes about the old timer is that because he has been there for 10 years, he will likely be there for the next 10 years to support the complicated system he is creating now. If a younger team member creates something using a modern approach, there is the risk they will leave in a years time and no one knows how the system works.
