That's why I said I'd suggest things. And of course I'd go along with strategic plans. Every company is different -- you'd be surprised at how many shitty [small] companies are out there that are actually profitable and want to keep things the same, refusing to do anything differently.

I would say quantum computing. It's one area you can't just tell an LLM to solve for you (yet, until the material and solutions are out there of course).

This is why I always work at a new company at least 6-12 months before making any major changes. I use that time to get into the flow of how things are being done (even if I think they are not efficient). I may make some suggestions but that's it.

Of course, I'll probably never get hired again anywhere so it doesn't matter anymore.

Much respect -- at first glance when I saw the animated gif I thought this was just a project making assets from scratch for an existing game engine (e.g. Doom or Wolf 3D) but then I realize it's creating all the game code from scratch too! (But using similar techniques from the old days). Amazing work.

I count 5 based on that link. And only 2 are in USA, so my apologies, should have said "PHP + allowed to work in USA (remote/hybrid/onsite)". two is greater than zero, so hurray I guess...

I don't have any proof but it sounds plausible; they also have an interactive button (does not require any login), so it could be that they rank the interactive event higher, but still count plain views as something. I'd say it's a fair indicator at least on a basic level.

that sounds awesome. sad that something like that probably would not work well in USA. don't have the culture for it. too many pieces would get lost.

This is a very good intro to systemd timers -- I think you convinced me to finally start using them. Love the "list-timers" thing as well. With cron, it never seemed easy to me to get a picture of all the cron jobs running on a box. I'd need to check crontab for all users, as well as /etc/cron.d/, as well as the daily/hourly/monthly directories.

And in fact I do have a use-case for needing to run something ~5 minutes after the system boots and then every ~12 hours onward from there. It's great that systemd timers has me covered!

that's impressive -- nice work.

that's nuts, unless I'm missing something, it doesn't seem like those products are that mind blowingly complex... wow. Makes we want to try building my own for the hell of it.

Downdetector in fact just seems to be a website catalog with essentially a guestbook and hit counter...

I got "approve" wrong for `ls -la ~/Documents` but I don't consider simply listing the documents folder a security problem, it's just file names. If it was reading the CONTENTS of them, maybe...

Just like real life! deny it from doing anything and you're safe :)

I have not seen "PHP" listed as a language used in any Hacker News job posting in a very long time. Everything is Javascript/Typescript now, with the occasional Rust, C/C++, Golang, Python, Ruby. I never see PHP ever.

From "This whole thread is an overreaction. 302 comments about code that does not work. We haven’t committed to rewriting. There’s a very high chance all this code gets thrown out completely." and what seems to amount to some experimental curiosity -- to merging the whole thing in 10 days!? This seems really crazy.

yes absolutely -- although I did use Nvidia GTX 1070 for a bunch of years without much of an issue, and I still believe Nvidia gets you more "bang for your buck", I would only buy AMD cards now due to the more integral support with Linux gaming.

Modding will continue to be a challenge, but doable, thing, until more mod devs get onboarded to Linux themselves. If the mod devs enjoy using Linux, they'll probably start building mods with UIs native to Linux.

I would say custom modding and online multiplayer anti-cheat systems are the last real hold outs, and even then it doesn't affect every game.

That is honestly amazing and impressive. Probably a bit too much tweaking for the common gamer though, but glad it is possible!

I love it! I just wish I could enlarge the photos! EDIT: ah, it works to right-click open image in new tab.

I grew up on the small 6 inch 1 bit Mac SE display so the art style has a special place in my heart. Sadly I'm too "dumb" to fully enjoy the game as it requires a lot of attention to detail -- amazing if you enjoy detective style puzzles! I still highly respect it.

wow, had no idea. that's honestly hilarious!
