  • The unstable part is just compared to other versions of Debian. Every now and then a package dependency breaks, but usually nothing serious and you can still use the system until it is fixed within hours. It is not like the system will constantly crash, it is still linux.

    I have used sid for years without any major problems. Usually only on desktop though.


  • security none existsnt. Aws security tools used to scream at you every time you open the aws console. Solution at the company was to restrict views to those pages so (most) people don’t see the security/vuln reports. To get reports, you’d have to ask cybersec.

    Not going to lie, that is hilarious. And forget red flags, you have a whole squadron of semaphores right there.












  • I just started skipping the first 1-2 pages of all ads, they usually just talk about what a fantastic company they are, etc. Just noise that no one is interested in, not even the ones lying about it.

    At the end after all the fluff there is usually a description of what you are supposed to know and do. And if there isn’t, well I am not wasting my time with them.

    Also, describing salary range seems very different in different countries



  • Has Golang fizzled? It has struck me as too primitive, but basically on the right track.

    My biggest issue with Golang by far is the close tie to Google. They are not our friendly innovator, time and time again they make decisions that will help them earn more ad money, and nothing else. And they have a lobg history of releasing something and then never fix the issues with it, and then more or less abandon it.

    Other than that there are afaik some other issues with go, I’m not an expert but from what I hear the GC is quite aggressive and you can’t tell it to run when you want. Doing something time sensitive? Well, bad luck. GC time!




  • Yes, but it is also very different. I have a VR headset and use it every now and then. But compared to “normal” gaming it is quite different.

    When playing a non-VR game you can just minimize the game and check stuff between rounds/matches/when you pause/etc. With VR I feel like you have to be there all the time, and the headsets are still heavy so you can’t play as long. Not to mention you are usually standing.

    I like VR and think it will be good eventually, but it is not there yet. It is 100% playable as it is, but the overall tech is not quite there yet.
