At my workplace, we use it for East-West traffic, especially the central Identity, Authentication and Authorization service which every other service needs to access, and it works great for that use case (Since it allows the downstream services to fetch information however they like). REST can do that too, but it will be cumbersome to say the least. Although GraphQL performance has come under scrutiny lately.

Wait, I thought gravity is not a "force" but the curvature of spacetime, so at some point the curvature gotta end or be disturbed by some other source nearby, right? A star so far away is not exerting any "force" on me as I already have two massive objects Earth and Sun twisting the spacetime around me so much. I could however be getting some gravitational waves from that star but not sure how strong they'd be or if they reach me at all (again given Sun and Earth).

(NOTE: I'm an engineer not a physicist so my understanding could all be wrong)

Yes that's good advice. Thanks.

I'm interviewing for a software dev job currently (it's in the initial stages). If things work out, I'd absolutely prefer a work laptop with Linux installed (I personally use PopOS but any distro will do), a Mac will be second choice, but I absolutely cannot tolerate Windows, I abhor it, I hate it... (If all computers left on earth have Windows I'd either quit this field or just quit Earth).

Sometimes it's possible to tell if they use Windows or not, for example, jobs with dotnet/C# are most likely using windows, but not in my case.

Anyways, is it too weird to ask what kind of laptop they provide to their employees? And to also specifically ask for a Linux (or anything but windows) work laptop?

In these situations I just keep checking, and making sure every move is a check to avoid stalemate. Mate in 1 or Mate in 49 I don't care I just want the win.

I have been using PopOS for a while now (came installed with my S76 Lemp10), but now looking for a new distro (I want to try Linux Mint). I am looking for the easiest way to set up the new distro with most of my current applications installed.

My current plan on how to move my applications and settings:

  • Get dotfiles to external repo (I am using stow)
  • Use ansible-playbook to set up installation of all the apps I need
  • Try the ansible setup on a docker container to ensure it works
  • Then try the ansible setup on a PopOS VM to ensure things work
  • Modify the ansible setup to use Linux Mint package manager (synaptic I believe)
  • Then try the ansible setup on a Linux Mint VM
  • Once everything works, copy the data, install new distro and run ansible script on the new OS

Is above the correct way to go about this, or is there anything better or easier available?

Edit: Thanks everyone for responses. The general consensus seems to be that that above is overkill (although doable and works) and copying home folder & dotfiles and trying out the distro fresh is easier, and install software as needed. Or, try NixOS :)

Elixir is such a beautifully designed language, my favorite language BY FAR.

(I want an Elixir job too 🥹 )

Sometimes #6 happens right after I press enter asking my teammate for help on the issue. The universe humbles me like that every other day...

Fuck you YouTube/Google I'm gonna use an Firefox + ublock origin till death do us apart. If there's no adblocker I'll just quit the internet.

Does he have a boss who can just fire him? I thought everyone in an organization has a boss who could fire you on the spot if you do something idiotic like this... why are people waiting for this asshole to resign? Just fire him and kick him out...

Your friends who are treated like crap, are they in a company where software is the main product, or in a company where software is a support department (and their actually money earner is some other product/service)?

For personal stuff (mostly development and general browsing) I use PopOS, have been using it for 4 years now with no problems whatsoever.

For work I use macOS because forced.

Will never use a Windows machine again. I tried my wife's Windows 11 machine, and it fucking SUCKS!!

For gaming I have a Steam Deck which is SteamOS.

Linux all the way!
