y'all!

Morning! What's on the docket today?

In the middle of migrating very old, homegrown tomfoolery into a more modern stack. Fun and vexing at the same time. This codebase has all of the bad decisions. All of them.

tell me if this makes sense to you: not all expensive chairs are worth a lot but the chairs that are worth a lot cost a lot of money

replied to:

Maybe adjust the last part to “most Chairs that are worth a lot…” - because I guess there are chairs that are inexpensive but still good and thus could have cost a a lot?

…

replied to:

my guess is the inexpensive chairs can be a good value for the price you pay but I doubt there are many of any chairs that are inexpensive and yet worth a lot

replied to:

Good chairs are expensive, yes. Can’t find myself a good dining chair set for a year at €500/4 chairs budget.

Applied to an L5 software engineering role via e-mail and without any other contact I received back a bunch of questions that clearly look like they're aimed at L6 or even L7. Not sure what to do with that so I withdrew. Briefly considered answering them but was weirded out.

This bout of COVID is more like “Corona Light” compared to previous years, but I’m still spending most of it in bed. Stay safe out there.

van szomorú vasárnap, van vidám vasárnap, és van átlagostól egy kicsit jobban elcseszett vasárnap is, mint ez a mai

There are sad Sundays, there are happy Sundays, and there are Sundays that are a little more screwed up than average, like today's.

Using Linux hasn't really been fun lately, idk. Nobara, despite building on fedora breaks a lot, but overall the whole ecosystem is so damn inconsistent and fragmented. Not sure if I have gotten more sensitive to this over the years but all I want is a system that "just works" and feels good 😔

I had a great run with Mint for years. I was as boring as it gets. I got a new laptop recently and decided to try OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I am really enjoying it, but it is a bit too recent for me to swear by it.

how to improve my productivity.

allnighter

replied to:

"how to use our time properly. i need to improve my productivity." Why do you need to improve your productivity? is capitalism not getting enough from you? as you get old you will start regretting the time when you went the extra mile to burnout yourself so someone else can be rich... money will never give you back healt... Durden words "slaves with white collars, advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need"

Érdekes ez a 4, 2-es irodalmi, valamint programozási hagyomány, amire Douglas Adams hívta fel a figyelmet, nálam ebből a hagyományból 4 a pszichiátriai, 2 a rehabilitációs téma, ami érdekes módon maga is 4, 2-es, ami olyan, mintha rekurzív kezdene lenni, de mégsem az teljesen www.textlog.hu/a-4-adel-es-2-szuzett/

This 4, 2 literary and programming tradition, which Douglas Adams drew attention to, is interesting. In my case, 4 of this tradition are psychiatric and 2 are rehabilitation topics, which is interestingly itself a 4, 2, which seems to be starting to be recursive, but it is not completely www.textlog.hu/a-4-adel-es-2-szuzett/
