What’s the definition of owning the home? I assume that even if 85% of the value is a bank loan, it still counts?

Pesto contains pine nuts.

Not sure if that helps or answers anything tho.

Edit: From a different comment here, they mentioned pine nuts being the cause for them. Seems very plausible then.

I do have some experience. What you are talking about are all internal hurdles, and what I was referring to as the hard problem to solve.

Incurring an expense in order to compensate for a service rendered, which is what the company would need to do in this case, is not difficult.

If you deal with amounts that need special consideration, there are people who do this for you for money. I believe that the correct approach is to show up, and sequentially slide individual banknotes from a densely packed stack in their general direction.

All of the other things you mention can be solved with money. In terms of the things that are easy and hard, this very much the former.

The real hard part here is whomever in charge of making the actual decision, to expense a pittance.

Failing that hard to not know what is, and isn’t knowable, is a good reason to not give a single f about what they think

In the EU, it sort of isn’t.

Takes a long time to write a proper response for all the GDPR stuff. The responses surprisingly don’t change all that much whether or not I do, so I might as well save me the trouble.

Blocked most Linux communities on lemmy, as most of them are low hanging dumb image memes that lost their relevancy about 10 years ago. Haven’t ran that much into this since.

That said, I use arch, and I’m very happy with it.

The title explains it… If it isn’t clear by that, it explains what that means in the text below. That my explanation was necessary is not really the fault of the infographic

• 1: same number of men and women
• 2: twice as many men, as women
• 3: three times as many… Etc
• x: x times as many men

Does this help?

Did the review copies have the features you’d need to buy with microtransactions?

First thing you mention is such a fun and useful exercise. But as you point out, way overkill. Might even be dangerous to expose it. I got mine to 20kb on top of busybox.

There is something that tickles the right spots when a complete container image significantly smaller than the average js payload in “modern” websites.

If you’re actually vetting PKGBUILD, I don’t think there is a single one I’ve installed that doesn’t download some blob. There is no way of knowing if it’s OK, unless you also sift through that. I don’t think anyone does. I certainly don’t.

I think the 8a, if it’s similar to the 8, might be a better size. But, I’m also fairly sure be fine with any of them.

Been using pixel phones for that reason, since… Pixel XL, and six pixel phones since then. Used several different AOSP based OS-es, most recently CalyxOS on Pixel 4a, and then GrapheneOS on Pixel 6a and now the 8 Pro.

Everything works, and you can choose how much of Google you invite back in. The best part is that the Google stuff doesn’t get any special treatment. Which means that the Pixel Camera app and Google Photos isn’t allowed access to Internet, because why should it?

The only thing that is still fundamentally flawed, are remote push notifications. And I don’t mean that it’s flawed for GeapheneOS, they work fine. It’s flawed in the sense that information goes through Google or Apple. The privacy concerns there are significant. It’s not end-to-end encrypted. You cannot avoid the problem either by disabling them on your phone. Each application, be that a Ring Camera, or backend messaging system, etc, that sends the stuff to Google through notification apis, will do so regardless of how much you sandbox or disable those services on the phone-receiving end. Conveniently, there is no effort by Apple or Google to make this core functionality any less tied to Apple or Google. The “asynchronous” nature makes it a problem that needs to be solved for each and every backend service system, for remote notifications. Some privacy conscious apps/services might let you limit what is sent to Google so you only get “New message from Hubbie” instead of also “Hubbie: remember to buy the paint for the baby-room! I’m so excited”.

Anyways… Not sure why I went on such a long tangent. I was done pooping a while ago.

CalyxOS on a Pixel is as great as it currently gets. But stuff can get better.

Zig is a pretty interesting alternative to C

Pretending Rust means no more exploitation is stupid.

I guess? Are you alluding to someone or something in particular?

Why do I get the feeling you might be younger than the average age here? Maybe missing an /s?

Only losing a week on a major change is a good sign. I wish the people who started the project had that same attitude with regards to clarifying requirements. They also did the opposite of designing a flexible solution. No thought to the actual problem, picking a contrived problem to “tackle”. Full on blinders on event driven architecture, split a simple thing into multiple nano-services, yet tightly coupled by sharing the same model which is de/serialized at every step, and then throw in application level filtering on the events… no schemas, no semantic versioning.

waiting for solid requirements

This is exactly the situation. Except that my team consisting of consultants just “started”, instead of trying to scope out the constraints and larger picture. I joined a month or so after.

Six months, and the result so far of their exploration is a fairly uninteresting happy-path use of some technologies, barely related to the task that had unclear requirements. Turns out the work done is unsuited for it. Boggles the mind how much resources are wasted on such things.

Feels extremely unrewarding to have worked, relatively hard, for half a year, and the fruits of my labour is… getting to the point where the actual problems are solved. Which one could have done from day one, if one had started in a team without wrong preconceptions, or, no team, for that matter.

It was the job switch that landed me in that situation. A change from a small company where about 70% was actual productivity, to a large corporation, in a team where there was severe issues with planning and working on the correct problems. So far it’s been 6 months of… well, wondering if I’m missing something, or a bigger picture somewhere, to trying to turn the ship in the right direction. If it’s still like this in another 6 months, I’ll consider a change of scenery.
