You’re new to planet earth, it seems.

I saw the same when I lived in OC. It’s pretty lively up here in Seattle too.

No music, I’m fucking forcing as much gasoline and/or electrons into the motor as the pedal will permit, while planning how to park a little bit away and sneak onto the property quietly.

Let’s see who’s got the better strategy, because questions will be answered.

I was a long-time Xubuntu fan, tried Ubuntu directly from canonical for my new laptop.

It’s been a bit rocky, all things considered. I think I’m trying something else next time, maybe mint or whatever. Maybe Xubuntu, but only if this snap shit has been cut out.

Originally mechanical, moved over to high speed power by volunteering and taking on projects that needed more EE stuff vs ME.

I work in research and development, in terms of stress and fulfillment, jobs are invariably a mix of the two. You’ll need to build a portfolio of interesting personal projects which are useful, the ability to be creative and flexible… You know, stuff that helps you stand out, comparatively.

Do your time, just get your foot in the door. But do something more advanced with that time than you’re asked to, if you intend to demand more pay from other companies. And don’t plan on sticking around for more than 3 years, you only get real pay bumps by moving around, so it seems.

I make energy (a word describing the measure of the invisible magic which makes sea waves happen, the sensation of warmth of the sun on your skin, and the effort you put into lifting heavy rocks) move around really, really, really fast, and lots and lots of it too.

Controlling this ‘energy’ is a difficult task because if you give it even a little chance, ‘energy’ will escape in the easiest, most useless way possible. Half my job is planning how to prevent energy from escaping without doing something useful first.

There’s usually a high friction between the jar lid’s deformable seal, and the lip of the glass jar itself.

A gentle knock of the lid on the edge of the counter will reduce the friction effect, making it far easier to open a ‘stuck’ lid.

Well… At least all the ones related to platform IO and other embedded development. Can’t say every extension, since I’ve not tried them all.

Represent! (It’s vscode with all telemetry and crap removed, all your vscode extensions still work fine)

Ugh. Horseshit.

Meeehhh… Kinda. It was great, for windows, don’t get me wrong.

But personally I think windows 2000 was the most rock steady and speedy of all of em. But it also had less legacy stuff to support, didn’t have XP’s compatibility layer etc etc etc.

So it’s easy for me to love win2k, it was less complex, thus less likely to have serious bugs (after the 4th service pack lol).

Yeah. It’s come a long way, and if nothing else, Linux is a fertile playground for the philosophy of software design for those who handle the UX/UI stuff.

Windows 7 was beat to the punch by gnome/Ubuntu on the paradigm of representing apps in the taskbar as icons that then expand to become textual lists. Some people hate that idea, and that’s ok too, so long as they’re given alternatives that are easy to switch between.

So… You’re aware that all the things listed are Linux at their core, right? Android runs on the Linux kernel.

Constant tinkering really means understanding how the system works; not to mention a system (be it Mac/win/lin) which needs no modification is one unused. The only way construction in NYC would stop being a ‘problem’ is if the city were dead.

I’m supporting embedded devices, and I like the performance of C. I’ve used python, it’s meh. At least you don’t have to compile it.

Yes! Please be declaritive for the next people in line!

I really like C because I can just get to the heart of an action and make it happen without much surrounding code.

I could make classes and blah blah blah if I want to make a large, complex program but I’d rather write several small, simple to grok programs which pass information around so each program can do its one simple thing, quickly and easily. Chain the small programs together with bash or something, and bingo, you’ve got a modular high speed system.

I’m not a programmer, actually a mechanical engineer. But the Unix philosophy of simple, modular tools is great, provided one properly checks and sanitizes inputs.

Don’t forget the fact that you’ve now got two propulsion systems to maintain, meeting at the nexus of a much more complex transmission.

More can go wrong, though admittedly Toyota seems to have gotten a lot right. But if you have an issue, lots and lots of parts to consider.
