I’m originally from Mississippi. I feel this comment.

My dad always called it the land that time forgot…

Fate favors fools, young children, and ships named Enterprise…

Mage, I guess?

But my favorite D&D character I ever played was a Bard. I wasn’t really the talkative, persuasive type. I was more the jack-of-all-trades, Swiss Army knife of the party. I loved it.

Linux Unplugged if you are into Linux. This Week in Tech for tech news discussion

Slowly reaches for shotgun…

Well, I do wear a lot of hoodies…. But that’s more because I live in the PNW than the fact that I’m a programmer.

I also have the sleeves pushed up to my elbows most of the time. Only wear sunglasses when I’m driving and the sun is in my face.

Very true!

Season 1 of DS9 was rough? Cries in TNG… 🤣

It is rough compared to the later stuff but, man, it got off to a WAY better start than TNG did… I mean, Riker had to grow a beard for the show to get good!

Maybe, but part of the theme of the TV show (I can’t speak intelligently about the comics) is that the system is corrupt. As a prosecutor, you would be part of that system.

As a criminal defense attorney you operate independently.

I have worn full rim, plastic frames for years now.

This time, I purposely bought glasses with metal frames, semi-rimless.

We use Azure DevOps at work… I felt every single word of this reply.

You are amazing, you beautiful lemmy stranger, you.

I agree… but I also think that applies to LOTS of other foods, particularly in the setting of a restaurant.

Honestly, in DevOpS, when you’re running stuff in a GitHub Action/Azure DevOps Pipeline/Jenkins, yeah… sometimes a run will fail for no obvious reason.

And then work the next time (and the next 100+ times after that) when you haven’t changed a damn thing.

Thank you for saying that about the documentation.

I work in an Azure shop and I’m in charge of our infrastructure… sometimes I feel like, surely I am an idiot… I must be incompetent to not understand something in some Azure service…

But no, the imposter syndrome spike that Azure sometimes triggers in me is NOT actually me being deficient in some way. Their documentation is truly awful. And often the solution to the problem is found by asking myself, “What is the dumbest way Microsoft could have implemented this thing?” And that turns out to be right!

Thank you for confirming that I have not completely lost my mind and it’s not just me.

I’ll be 44 on Easter Sunday.

Lots of veggies. Lots of strength training, but nothing too complicated. Also, doing stuff with my kids like Little League and Cub Scouts keeps me moving.

This is an example of the old adage that “When you use a regex to solve a problem, you end up with two problems.”

Yep, I’ve gradually gone from using vim motions in VSCode to using Neovim with basically all the functionality I need for backend (.NET and TypeScript) and infrastructure work.

There are still some things I have to rebuild some muscle memory for, but it’s been great. I haven’t made it to zellij yet but that’s the next step.

That is correct

I don’t know… maybe soon we will find those Depression era tactics useful again…
