I’m not super involved, but I believe it’s possible to engage with Wikipedia ethically and well as a PR firm or the like. But being honest is part one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:PR_Professionals_%26_Editing

Thank you!

I think folks saying you don’t need math are right. But if you are having trouble with college algebra you might have trouble with CS. Or the teacher is bad.

Math really builds on itself at the stage where you are. Without good algebra calculus isn’t going to work well.

I’d try a different teacher. Online courses or repeating the course with another professor or something.

I’m late to this, but could a kind soul explain what I’m missing out on by using urxvt? I settled on it years ago and haven’t changed anything.

I’ve learned a lot by breaking things. By making mistakes and watching other people make mistakes. I’ve writing some blog posts that make me look real smart.

But mostly just bang code together until it works. Run tests and perf stuff until it looks good. It’s time. I have the time to write it up. And check back on what was really happening.

But I still mostly learn by suffering.

I just have to say “tastes like c” is a visceral way to say it. I approve.

I’ve stopped using stash and mostly just commit to my working branch. I can squah that commit away if I want later. But we squash before merge so it doesn’t tend to be worth it.

It’s just less things to remember.

I’m just a hacker. I’ll never be a thought leader. But I am passionate about my work. And my kids.

I love solving the problems. I have a few posts on the company blog but they put a chat bot on it a while back and didn’t care that it felt offensive to me.

But I’m here, reading this. Maybe I’m grey matter.

I recommend it. Try to go in blind.

I feel lucky to have avoided this so far. It’s really not like this on my team. I write a fair bit of code and review a ton of code.

It’s cute. Maybe my favorite use of ai I’ve seen in a while.

I wish it looked at contributions instead of just the profile page. Much more accurate roasting.

Mine looks a little like that. It’s my job though. Everything’s on GitHub.

I think the technologies are pretty bubble based. We are 80/15/5 Mac/Linux/Windows and it’s been 15 years since I worked on a software team that’s thats mostly windows. But I talk to them from time to time. But if anything Mac feels underrepresented compared to my bubble.

I admit I’m probably biased in favor of believing the survey is representative. I work on one of the databases.

Speaking of databases, I don’t work on SQL Server but can see the appeal. It implements a huge array of features and it’s documentation is pretty good. Folks have told me it’s a lovely database to use.

Good for them!

Usually I use glob patterns for test selection.

But I did use reges yesterday to find something else. A java security file definition.

Amazon is certainly interesting for open source. They’ve caused me and my friends a fair bit of trouble but they have made some real contributions. I feel like they only do it when they have to though. They are quite happy to take others work and give nothing back.

They just feel very disingenuous. Opportunistic. A bit sleezy. But some of my favorite open source hackers work there and do good work. It’s hard.

Thanks. I remember one of these had people being excited about it and I felt bad that I couldn’t try it. But Linux is hard and we are all so grumpy. I get it.

Is that the Mac only one?

Do folks still use logstash here? Filebeat and ES gets you pretty far. I’ve never been deep in ops land though.

The point of the license combination they use is to allow the enterprise version to be open and live in the same repo as everything else. Dunno if that’s what they do, but that’s why the elastic license exists.
