    The Long Walk (2025)

    I don't know, I enjoyed it. Ending was rather 'meh' though.

    Windows 11

    I used to build Gentoo from source. I think that's how it worked.

    Windows 11

    Are you running the Plasma desktop? Linux Mint's default is Cinnamon which I quite like. But decided to try out Plasma and it's pretty kick ass. I've never been a big fan of KDE, but it's been years since I've played with it.

    Windows 11

    I did an upgrade during Prime Day, got a new B850 motherboard and Ryzen 9 7900x. I typically go with Linux Mint, but...here we go: audio wasn't working. Apparently lacks support for the new Realtek ALC4080 chipset and I could NOT get it to work. So, installed the new flavor of the month...

    The Mist is one of my favorite horror movies. Short story it's based on was great as well.

    Investing General Discussion

    It's all long term. I sold enough to cover my original investment plus a tiny bit of profit.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    We had another RIF this week. The test department manager and a couple of senior testers were let go, while the devs went untouched.

    Windows 11

    That's why I came to despise Windows 11. Inconsistent look of the menus and dialogs. Just a mishmash of new and old styling.

    Investing General Discussion

    Need some advice: I hold several positions that have become very lofty (significantly appreciated). I’m reluctant to sell outright, but I recognize the need to lock in some profits. Instead, I’m considering selling covered calls on a portion of these positions. If I were selling shares...

    Yeah for me it was local, so it was wide open.

    We were coding in Lua for OpenWRT based routers. Dude was using vi for that coding directly on the router. I just mapped a sshfs drive and used Webstorm with a Lua plugin. Not a big deal.

    What if I want to find all references to a public method? What if I need to dig into a base class and explore its overrides? What about debugging... can you step through the code and view variable assignments, etc?

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Fuck no. An asshole at work wrote an entire codebase with "vi" and it was the biggest god damn mess I've ever seen. Kept telling me, "You'll learn to love it." I can appreciate the hate for the older Visual Studio, which has become extremely bloated. I personally use the JetBrains suite of...

    And why were they bothering looking for a Earth-like planet? If they *really* want to be rid of meta humans then throw them in the black hole door. No coming back from that period.
