As long as they don't have different allergies or had biometrics recorded and assigned to them at the hospital it arguably wouldn't even matter.

For my current job we've all agreed to take the approach of not writing comments that say what the code does, but why you did something the way you did. Probably about 90% of our code is uncommented because it just doesn't need to be, but every once in a while you have to do something out of the ordinary to get the desired behavior, and explaining why you made the weird decision you did is infinitely more helpful.

That's crazy to me. Our manager went out on a boat last week on Friday, and we haven't heard shit from him since. Hell, we'd probably tattle on him to our skip level if we did because our skip would be furious to hear people are working during vacation. I'm a software engineer in the US, and unfortunately stories like yours are all too common here :/

Just wanted to say thank you for implementing this. It feels much more natural, so much so that I didn't notice it until I was scrolling for quite a while.

Im currently complying with RTO because my office is close to my house and it is convenient, but there are talks of forcing employees to relocate to where the majority of our team is which would be halfway across the country for me. Needless to say we're losing people in droves and many medium/small companies are picking up tons of talent.

If you're on a budget that WD Green drive is a great choice. They get slept on because they're ultimately second to Samsung in the storage space, but they make great drives and have been solid since before I was even born (I'm 23). I actually ran a 1TB WD HDD in 2013 that only recently started making ticking noises. I proactively replaced it since SSDs are stupid cheap nowadays, but I probably could've run it for a while longer before having any issues.

SSDs and HDDs have similar life spans now, with some SSDs even having better longevity if you're willing to pay for it. The only reason to get HDDs now is if you need cheap bulk storage. For most people getting a $50 1TB SSD will be all they ever need.

This is an instance where exercising eBay's great buyer protections is warranted. The card is outside of what I'd consider fully functional since it overheats due to a defect. If it was advertised this way that's one thing, but if not return it and get a fully functional card from an honest seller.

If I could make a suggestion, it'd be to have post bodies round off to the nearest word, and end in an ellipsis when they are too long for the post preview. It's a bit jarring seeing the body of many posts cut off mid word.

Also being able to download an image from the feed without needing to open it would be great.

Thanks for all your work! The app is really good and gets better with every update.

I personally do a ton of game streaming to my Steam Deck which is my main driver for using Windows as it works better with NVIDIA Shield + Moonlight, but I highly recommend you give Pop!OS a try. I'm very pro-linux, but for the longest time it just wasn't there for gaming. With Valve going full steam ahead for the Steam Deck, Proton has gotten so good that for 95% of games things just work out of the box without any issue. Wine even has support for Easy Anti Cheat now and more features are coming every week.

You can pry my 49" 32:9 monitor from my cold dead hands.

Seriously though glad you found something that works for you. I could see them being difficult for RTS/ARPGs. I've started getting back into racing games because of my 32:9 because being able to use the side mirrors is cool as hell.

Eh, my team is this way, but it's because we're aerospace adjacent which further compounds the problem. The only woman on our team is awesome and everyone gets along great. No one has an inflated ego or feels the need to one up each other though, which tends to be the root of the issue in my experience. Lots of tech bros feel the need to put others down, and see women as an easier target unfortunately.

List of parts/peripherals

This is my first setup since moving away from home and into my own place with my partner. I finally had the ability to setup my Raspberry Pi running Plex, qBittorrent, and a Samba share. We use Plex more than we use Apple TV or Netflix at this point because it is just so much less of a hassle, and we would cancel them immediately if we did not get them free with our phone plan.

I have my work Macbook and PC both connected to a KVM to easily switch between the two. I run both Win10Pro and ZorinOS in dual-boot, but I primarily use Windows as the last thing I want to do after work most days is write code (I'm a software engineer). Recently my PC's primary use has been to stream games to my Steam Deck that it is not powerful enough to run. My partner and I spend a good amount of time on the couch playing our own games next to each other as they've recently taken over the living room TV with their PC to play their millionth run of Stardew Valley.

I've mostly been playing Tetris Effect Connected but I just finally got around to starting RDR2, so that will probably take over soon enough. I also jump between The Binding of Isaac, Borderlands 2, and Minecraft quite a bit.

I added some more pictures below. The decorations around my desk are nothing spectacular, but they are all things that make me happy, and I don't like to be surrounded by too much unnecessary clutter. If you have any questions about my setup feel free to ask!
