Trying to dodge Chinese traditional medicine in Asian countries when you go to the doctor is such a pain in the ass.

I had to go to three different Japanese doctors before they would give me something other than herbal powder.

More than likely we’ll see in/outbox functionality similar to activitypub, so the PDSes could interop with ActivityPub and individually talk to one another

This is not true.

The App view, relay, PDS, and mobile app, code is all open source. Anyone can spin up their own version if they want.

If you want a complete copy of bluesky (reflecting the bluesky post firehose) it’s prohibitively expensive, but you can spin up your own version if you want.

The only thing that’s missing is bluesky federating anything other than PDSes by default, but you can 100% go in the other direction.

A good overview is here: What bluesky is and what bluesky is not

We got rid of our stand-ups in favor of a morning slack check-in in the group channel.

We even have a little bot that lets you input them at any time before the scheduled deadline and reports them all at once so you don’t have to put it in in the morning (many people prefer reporting on their day at the end of the day).

This combined with a robust pull request system means that a lot of work can get done async.

We have occasional meetings but they’re pointed and specific between only the people that need to talk so nobody’s time feels wasted.

It took like 2+ years to develop this culture but it’s worth it.

The fact that it’s hit #1 on the US Apple app store is wild to me.

Five eyes agents must be pulling their hair out.

Meanwhile all the TikTok users seem to be moving to a copycat called Red Note

But he went on to say: “We’re not adding any more software engineers next year because we have increased the productivity this year with Agentforce and with other AI technology that we’re using for engineering teams by more than 30% – to the point where our engineering velocity is incredible. I can’t believe what we’re achieving in engineering.”

This announcement is just advertising for agentforce (their AI) they’re likely not being serious about it.

I’ve never seen a big company like bytedance give PTO for a death in the family, much less for someone’s house burning down.

Any of those companies big enough middle management can hide behind “company policy” and then off their hearts and brains.

I mean DMA (direct memory access) devices are only like 170 bucks now:

These are almost impossible to do anything about even client-side because they operate on a hardware level.

In general state-reading hacks (like invisible walls and Gameworld state information hacks) are almost impossible to do anything about, to the point where when companies are able to find a way to defeat one of these things it’s huge news.

It’s a simple command line calculator! I use it all the time.

I love locate! I have a cronjob that updates the db every night, then I can just find a file without having to think about where it is

Holy shit I was just talking about cp with progress today. Awesome

I like the freedom to watch the kids remote work brings, but I hate the loss of concentration that having kids “at the office” (home) brings.

There’s a study somewhere I remember reading that poor people tend to be more magnanimous than rich people.

I think many people (me included) feel that it shouldn’t be the employee’s responsibility to find shift coverage.

That depends entirely on your job:
