PyCharm is a solid choice. It just works. But if you’re open to another editor, take a look at Zed. It has python support too. It’s super snappy and way less bloated than the others.

Thanks for this!! I became spoiled with Arc’s UI, but it’s a Chrome based browser. This looks like it’s the same experience without the bs.

Tbh I didn’t even mind what the bot was trying to do. I just remember opening what felt like every post and seeing dozens of lines taken up by the bot. I ended up just blocking it and cross-referencing with ground news myself.

Donations do not obligate anyone to do anything. It’s a donation, not pay. They should be done out of appreciation for someone’s time and effort, or to help support any potential work the project decides to do. But never with the expectation that you’re owed something back for donating.

Unfortunately not everyone has the luxury. Nothing about a 9-5 preventing them being there is “exceptionally lazy”. It’s a reality people face. Especially when everything’s about to skyrocket here in price. Job security is kinda important too.

It’s at least helped those who seek that info be aware of the red flags and processes that took place to get them where they got.

Yeah I don’t expect any of those sacks of meat and bones to wanna help working people. But it’s crazy the amount of business owners that wanted to wait till the election to hire again. Well, now they better put their money where their mouth is.

As for H1B, we had the same thing happen with virtual assistants. That trend seemed to die off pretty quick. Hoping the current trends change a bit in our favor.

Thank you. Yes, I’m a software engineer by trade in the US and really hope this new year and the new administration (not saying I agree with it) encourages businesses to hire again. Been applying and interviewing since July with no success. Many other devs I talk to that left/loss their jobs last year have shared the same experience.

Once I get that sorted out, I should be able to get insurance again. It’s just crazy that you need to be working to even attempt to be healthy and get the care needed.

If I don’t get my health in order, build better habits, and find a decent job this year, I’ll probably end up dead before 2025 ends. Somethings not right with my body but without insurance or an income to get a plan from the marketplace, either my heart, lungs, or Crohns will take me out.

And most software is built using open source tools. I’ve had bosses who are just fine forking out tons of cash to AWS but cringe at the idea of donating $100 to something we use daily.

Software dev tools and process are so convoluted and unnecessary. We need to find a happy medium between sites being published via FTP uploads like before and the CI/CD madness of today. And there’s too many tooling options available. It’s caused a huge amount of disparity between options. Look at the JavaScript ecosystem for example.

YouTube content creators are dealing with the same bullshit to a degree. Especially on the music side. DCMA and copyright strikes are being weaponized to shut content down someone doesn’t like, not because there’s actually infringement going on. You see that happening now too with comic/comedy commentator channels, e.g. the whole Brendan Schaub bit.

There’s a lawyer I follow on YT who speaks about this a lot.

Oh true I see what you mean. Misread your initial post.

What the hell is happening here? Your comment has nothing to do with this post. Or bots? Idk… seeing this happening a bit with a few posts.

Um… you sure you’re responding to the right post there buddy?

I use his site all the time! Took a while to get the hang of where to find stuff but most important links and data is all there.

The amount of insane content on that site is astounding. It was kinda nice how fast the plain HTML pages loaded though.

Densha de GO! On Internet Archive

I was searching to see if I could find a rom and was pleasantly surprised to see that Internet Archive had online emulators.

Rockstor here. Which is interesting bc I’ve been thinking about setting up another NAS.

That’s what I’ve been running on my gaming machine and it’s been great.
