Lol, I don’t think anyone would assumed she died

I did and it is kind of disheartening until you learn otherwise. Hence I tried to warn others but apparently people don't like that?

Yeah, that way they also get a 3 hour nap

Oops yeah you're right. Sorry OP. There's nothing better than using a database that flushes to disk often enough that missing a small chunk of data due to interruptions should be fine. Probably some kind of memory mapped IO on top of eager writing filesystem should do a good enough job.

I thought someone here had mentioned that the environment and user executing the script at startup and you running the script might have differences. The reason it would have worked with systemd might be that the environment was loaded correctly?

People who come here to say Linux is not good or that this community is an echo chamber and get mad for pointing out obvious flaws in the OS miss two things:

1. The post is an opinion of someone. Notice the "I" in the title? That should give you some clue.

2. You are offended when people suggest that you learn and adapt to the OS, but you suggest that Linux should support your workflow without any effort on your part to learn the OS. Which is hypocritical to say the least.

Unlike old school graphics... you have no charm.

Which is the #1 phrase repeated whenever I search for how to immigrate to EU/US.

Which i guess is worth bearing in mind and not place lofty expectations on the immigration lottery.

For decades, outsourcing was happening to India and other east asian countries to cut costs. This happened even under low interest rate for loans.

Now that interests are higher the cost cutting and outsourcing only increase.

My own feelings are that we really should figure out if we want to work for such lowballers who cut us off like parasites at the first sign of trouble.

It would be prudent for workers to seek work in smaller, private companies. While they have the risk of going bust... they're hopefully not laying off people in the same breath as announcing record growth.

Why is it just devs?

Because, (and not sure about your upbringing, speaking for myself and possibly those who agree) we entered the field because of our dream to get paid for what is effectively hours of our favourite activity: tinkering with our home computer (that dad forbade us from touching as we often broke something) and building cool stuff. I still remember the day I used Turbo C compiler to compile the "Hello, World!" program and the feeling of seeing the result made me happy and excited. My immediate thought was "what else can I do with this!".

I often tried implementing graphics in turbo C. The horrors of trying to find the cause of out of bound scribbling mess that my drawing code produced is quite nostalgic to this day.

I guess most of the current struggle is to just reproduce that joy that we got once.

his name is still Terry Davis. "His name was Terry Davis"

Speaking of YAML, anybody seen the new PKL config language?

You're gonna see that even if you were pious at your own job. So you're only wasting time.
