Centos 7.3 is iso

I literally make a new branch. clone, and use an external merge tool (beyond compare) when my branch has fallen too far behind. I don’t trust any of the automated processes.

I have a similar coating on my deck in the back yard. I can stand on it barefoot comfortably in the summer which is not possible without the coating.

You can hire a lot of programmers for the cost of one CEO.

Which reminded me of an 80s movie called Gung Ho about a Japanese company that bought an American automobile manufacturer and the ensuing culture clash.

1. Ruin a popular site at a blistering pace driving away users.
2. Criticize advertisers for also leaving and tell them to leave if they don’t like step 1.
3. Sue said advertisers for leaving.
4. No one wants to advertise with you.

Did I miss anything?

The “Stop Using AI to Make Videos of JD Fucking Couches and Dolphins” bill?

That’s not Jenna. That’s a snuff film.

I was trying to say that tools were better about letting us know that another developer was modifying the same file as us, so we would collaborate in advance of creating the conflict.

I use git daily and still wonder why I had fewer merge issues on a larger team in the 1990s with command line rcs on Solaris. Maybe we were just more disciplined then. I know we were less likely to work on the same file concurrently. I feel like I spend more time fighting the tools than I ever used to. Some of that is because of the dumb decisions that were made on our project a decade or more ago.

We add the current year to the copyright dates, the current updates are protected from the time of authorship. So if the copyright says, 2012, 2014, 2022; I would add a 2024. The commit records can be used to determine what was changed each instance, but the update provides notice of when changes were made.

Discerning what is protectable creative expression versus functional and therfore unprotected is an issue for the courts.

The one thing that consistently gets caught in code reviews in my shop is a failure to update a copyright date. I have been tempted to submit clearly crap code just to see if anyone actually is paying attention.

How does that work for aphantasia?

Big Bosses later ask middle managers: “Why is turnover so high? Are you not fostering a fun environment?” The 40 % raise for job hopping is a real mystery.

I am using CentOS 9 in WSL. I don’t particularly care what distribution I use because I mostly using a bash shell as a software development environment. I prefer apt to flat packs and use ubuntu 20 on an embedded system that I write code for at work. I keep wanting to get more experience with KDE and gnome, but I haven’t been good about using my free time to mess with OS. As long as I have vim and a prompt that uses vi input, I am pretty content. (Does this make me sound old? The kids at work have trouble following what I am doing when we pair program.)

Soon it will be a honeypot to filter AI generated applications. I can exclude the resumes of applicants who claim to meet my bogus desired qualification.

Vscode is my favorite. Now there is a sentence I never expected to type.

I just like usleep better than nanosleep.

I do dumb things like edit my network configuration do some stuff and log out. Then I can’t login the next weekend because the IP address is wrong. Also:

Ifconfig eth0 down

And I am booted from ssh.

I am going to buy a subscription for a little while just so I can ask it to code Roko’s Basilisk for me.
