@Mainebot @alcinnz I hope you find your spot. Just don't stop trying! I avoided open source for a long time because it was too high friction for me, which says a lot because I'm a semi competent developer and thus one of the easiest to convert. If you help reduce that friction for yourself or others you're making the community stronger, which means we all win.

@endomain @vulcao @alana Well said. For perspective, I know many younger devs in their teens - 30s who are domain specialists: good at writing machine learning models or doing frontend websites, but know almost no bash/Make/Linux. Give them a repo with a Makefile as the way to build something, or anything with bash scripts that require tweaking and they're immediately defeated.

@rice just a heads up that lots of bathhouses will forbid you entrance to the bathhouse if you have tattoos. I had to cover mine and people were upset I was there

@xj9 worse and worse iterations of tried and true ideas too... Each generation seems to reinvent cheap knock offs of awk, sed, grep, etc.

@saga semi-related tangent: I often wonder how much of an impact it would have if everyone fasted for one complete day each week. Not just on the environment, but on their health and the complex ways it interacts with their environment. Then again, just drastically reducing the number of shopping malls would have a dramatic effect too. I shudder to consider the electricity usage / AC bill in hot climates for these mostly abandoned malls.

@endomain I am kind of worried they're going to start animating holograms of dead people as a form of product endorsement. I'm picturing an AR projection of Tupac telling me to check out the mattress store on the corner. It seems very inhumane honestly.

@emacsen True, but now the problem I have is none of my loved ones will use those services instead of iMessage, Gmail, Instagram,...

@angristan Yes!!! Atmos is INCREDIBLE. A close friend went to a Sony facility during their prototype phase and listened to a clip from Star Wars with the whole place rigged for Atmos sound. She described it as a borderline religious experience.

@angristan If you want to try something completely different from Java, try Golang or Rust. A lot of industry folks think Golang is the Java killer, and if you look at trends in open source it has definitely grown a ton in popularity.

@rice I've heard great things about the recent book on Yasuke, called African Samurai. It's the story of a slave arriving in feudal Japan and becoming a samurai. Check it out if you are looking for something to read!

@emacsen @librelounge great job on the podcast! This latest episode is pretty cool and it has me thinking I might have to get old school and learn a little Lisp after all :)

@angristan It changes so often! Used to be NodeJS w/ Express for something quick. Then I started just using a Golang web server boilerplate. When I needed persistence I'd throw Postgres into a Docker container.

@emacsen The Jewish culture is so fascinating in every era. ~200BC to 1AD is CRAZY. The fall out of Antiochus, the Maccabean revolt, the Hellenized Jews who remained in the empire, etc.

@cjd @yarmo @substack Some recent experiences in industry have me concerned, more than ever, that the patent industry will never really work as a viable model for software. There are so many blurry lines, so much room for misinterpretation, and the fact that software is poorly understood by many of the policy makers / the population at large.

@Gina I would definitely be interested in learning more and lending any support that I can!
