This is the way. I do my checks on pre push because my team has a PR driven workflow. I also have an alias to run-tests && git push origin HEAD since my tests are expensive (minutes to run thousands of tests), and I didn’t want that in a git hook.

As an elder millennial, I respect gen z and alpha for coping with modern society. It may just be a fond remembrance, but things seemed much simpler then. Creative jobs weren’t threatened by AI, the tech didn’t exist for corporations to spy on people, the US… well let’s not get into that.

I at least got to experience a decent time in history and built up enough context where I understand what is going on in the world today. That of course leads to irreconcilable sadness with where things are going, but at least I got to experience a wild culture shift.

I’ve been playing my steam backlog and recently have been working on Darksiders. This stupid boss killed me dozens of times yesterday, but I got her today!!

I couldn’t get into any of the LOTR movies. I like fantasy, I like adventure, I like fighting, but those films are boring as hell to me.

I sometimes wonder if my current car will be my last new car. My car has some tracking that I can supposedly disable, so I understand the appeal of classic cars more. I might have to pick up a mint condition early 2000s car for my midlife crisis.

Not suicidal, but if I have to work much past that I’ll consider the exit bag.

Every day my investment portfolio is losing between $1000-$10000. I wish he’d just fuck off for a week (well or forever) and not screw with anything, but alas that is his plan.

I cashed out some stock that seemed extra volatile: Ford, some tech stocks, and anything travel related. I opened a CD with the proceeds, and I’ll just sit on it for a year until things hopefully calm down. Interest rates on CDs are around 4% if you shop around. It’s not the best return, but it’s better than getting completely pummelled in the stock market.

All in all that wasn’t a ton of money and my 401ks aren’t worth touching until things get crazier, so basically I’m just holding the line and trying to save a few profits where possible. Gold is probably a good idea, but I’m not a very sophisticated trader.

I think him simultaneously ruining the stock market and dismantling social security might just jostle people enough to wake up and pay attention.

Those numbers seem really high. I live in a city with a lot of gun violence; I hear gunshots weekly, but I have never witnessed a shooting of another person. I have seen videos of local gun violence online and in the news, but I have a hard time believing it is that prevalent.

If they joined immediately, NATO would have to directly engage Russia now – which would be bad, especially with the US being shitty right now.

If they predicate membership on a Russian attack it will defer and potentially remove that risk. Seems like a solid idea to me.

That’s Geoffrey!

It’s going to suck when they outlaw VPNs

Flavored water does feel like cheating. It’s really just water.

I’d stop shopping there if I had a time machine that could take me back to 2003.

The birthday paradox comes to mind.

Unless someone can prove some malicious intent, I think it is just as valid of a birthday as any other day.

You need to do damage control. Being short in all caps to a friend trying to speak with you is rude. The only real move is to apologize.

This is so idiotic. If this is the best plan the Democrats have, god help us.

I killed Instagram and Whatsapp recently when Mark started buddying up to Trump.

Deleted Twitter shortly after Elon took over, which bummed me out since it was a good place for software development information.

Quit reddit after the API ordeal when I didn’t want to use the official client.

I was a long time user of each platform, and I was bummed when I had to leave each.

Now I have bluesky, lemmy, mastodon, and some occasional discord servers I hangout on. I miss Instagram as a time waster, but I’ll survive without funny dog videos and fitness models.

I’ve worked on projects for the government as a contractor. There is SQL; SQL as far as the eye can see. I’m sure the NSA has some novel solutions to crunching shittons of big data, but day to day, at least in my experience, it is a lot of relational CRUD and reporting queries.

For the curious, it does clearly exist:
