Meetup.com is how you get to know people in Tokyo. I lived there for a few years and this was extremely popular.

My man.. You are not getting around the tracking. It's never going to happen. Unless you literally toss everything with a network connection and disconnect from the electric, gas, and water grids, you are going to be tracked.

Do people from Acre even exist though?

distro hopping is a waste of time.

Very much so. There are limitless things you can do with a computer. Installing a new OS for me falls squarely in the annoying and tedious categories.. There are so many more interesting things to put effort into.

I was the same way.. It's been about 20 years since I last owned a mac. I skipped the intel years entirely. I was given an M1 mbp for my current job though and its honestly fantastic.. One of the best machines I've used in years. The chip is a huge part of it.

Since there are so many developers on mac these days, there is a ton of tooling around there to customize the UI enough to be flexible. I'm quite happy on it.

The Yggdrasill from Hyperion.

The one from The Fountain was kinda similar. It was unique enough to stick with me over the years anyway.

I don't know if Ringworld really counts as a ship but I loved that too. The Out Of Band 2 from A Fire Upon The Deep seemed like it would be pretty baddass. Or the alien ship from Rendezvous with Rama.

Yeah this is just not for you. In the DevOps/SRE space, EVERYONE knows terraform and most of those names will be recognizable to the people most deeply involved in using/managing terraform.

Agreed. When I first heard about this it seemed exactly like a rehash of 90s era websites that tried to imitate a real place.. Like you would click on the doors to go into the book store or click on the mailbox to send an email.. It was lame then and its still lame now.

I had this just the other day actually. I am in SRE and the overwhelming majority of the code I write is terraform, instructions for a Dockerfile or CI pipeline, or just some random ass bash to compile information.. I don't actually do that much coding at all and what I do end up doing is pretty rudimentary.

EVERY job interview I go on though wants to do some leetcode style code puzzle. The one I got the other day I just said to the guy, "I honestly don't know how to do this. The code I write isn't fancy or clever. It's mostly just to get things done." We worked through it together though and I understood the logic by the end but they were mostly holding my hand. What I was doing was throwing out ideas and trying to work out pros/cons with the interviewer. That was enough apparently because he green-lit me for the next round..

These type of interview questions really annoy me because they are not representative of the job in any way. In addition to work, I also have a life that does not involve computers. After putting in a 40 hour week on engineering stuff, grinding leetcode over a weekend is a hard sell.

I think I saw them in like 2002.. Crazy they've been doing that shit for so long.

There are build instructions in the readme. What's stopping you?
