I started web dev in 1999. It can be one of the most progressive branches of development. I’m using a completely different stack today than I was two years ago. Every day I use a whole suite of different tools and languages. It can be a lot of fun if you enjoy the whole process of learning new technologies.

That would be fantastic. Thank you!

Good lord:

As part of their new partnership, Alpine and Reddit are launching a set of Collectible Avatars on the site, which users will be able to download and use on the platform.

This isn’t new. It’s just new to you.

“Of course. I want to win races with McLaren. I want to win in papaya, I want to win championships.”
What’s the papaya reference here?

As someone that’s newly enjoying F1, what’s up with him and his team’s dominance? I guess that’s unusual?

I’ve use a CalDigit TS3 Plus on my MacBook Pro for a couple of years, it’s pretty reliable. There is a lot of noise over the headphone port though, so I don’t use that.

I saved up for a bit and bought a Herman Miller Embody. Yes, it’s really expensive. But, it’s just effortless to sit in from morning at work all the way to late evenings with after work games. I love it so much. And after two years it has absolutely zero signs of wear except for some dust on the back. I’m very happy with the purchase.

I’ve been playing during the early access and it’s pretty good. It was neat to see the progress they made with each patch. It’s not like the other Baldur’s Gate games though.

Key passage:
“The real message of this study is that overweight as defined by BMI is a poor indicator of mortality risk, and that BMI in general is a poor indicator of health risk and should be supplemented with information such as waist circumference, other measures of adiposity (fat), and weight trajectory,” said study first author Dr. Aayush Visaria, an internal medicine resident physician at the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

Mainly tooling and a few ill conceived React components that never really fit anywhere and are now polluting our new build process until we are able to rewrite them.

Yep. People make bad decisions frequently. The rewrite was a way of keeping the newer devs on the project (like me) from revolting.

I looked to contribute. But yea, no interest in learning PHP though.

I’m currently involved in a rewrite! One of very few in 20 years of dev work. We prototyped our front end in node/js and we’re rewriting in React. We’re largely keeping the express backend, though.

I’m so far behind on my games backlog, but I’m sure I’ll buy something. Steamdeck is on sale and well worth the money.

If it’s abused it will be removed as a perk and military folks won’t be able to use it.
