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...

Fifa suspends Luis Rubiales from all football-related activity over Hermoso kiss
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...

You probably don't need GraphQL
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.

Yes that's good advice. Thanks.

Every star in the sky is interacting with you through gravity 🌌 We are all connected to the universe around us.
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)

Which language you wish would really grow and reach mainstream adoption?

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

Hoisted by my own petard.
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.

What operating system do you use on your main computer?
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!

What's an industry that's known to treat its workers very well?

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)?

[Discussion] What were your favorite and least favorite games you played on Deck in 2023?
My favorite was the first Talos Principle, TP2 is also great, but the suspense in the story of 1 was so much I found it hard to put the game down (My Steam year in review shows I played it for 37 days straight). The puzzles in TP1 were also harder (TP2 had hard optional puzzles but the story was so long that I lost all will to do even 1 more puzzle by the game end, plus there's no fast travel to those optional puzzles)
I didn't like Titanfall 2 on the Steam Deck, the game is fine, but FPS games just dont work for me with joysticks.

I am thinking of switching to Fedora with KDE, but stopped because of the window tiling manager in PopOS (I tried Bismuth, but it's not the same). What do you use for window tiling?

Easiest way to switch distros
Reply in thread
I just want it to get to a usable state pretty quick on a new distro, and also to go back quickly to pop-os if I don't like the new stuff. That's why trying out ansible for this.

Europe has fast ageing societies because our people live long and prosperous lives.
People living long & prosperous lives and having a young & growing population are not mutually exclusive. You can do both.
