mushroommunk@lemmy.todayto Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux Distribution "NixOS" drama: Moderation Team resigns in protest over Interference of Leadership; Elected Leader works for US Military Company, fearing alignment with US fascistic development352·4 days agoMost people when they hear “drama” they think things like the brain dead hissy fits on reality TV. The kind of pointless fighting we should avoid. Destigmatizing the word would legitimatize that stuff.
We really need a better word for this posts topic where there’s very public back and forth but it’s a much more valid moral disagreement.

I don’t even bother with Microsoft documentation anymore, it’s often wrong or outdated and skips chunks that even senior devs need.

Turn the chart and bam, the line goes down. I maybe shouldn’t post while exhausted

mushroommunk@lemmy.todayto Technology@lemmy.ml•A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over?17·13 days agoWhat you’re describing is a different problem that does exist but isn’t what’s going on here in the US. The layoffs have been so broad and across so many different industries with almost no rhyme or reason.
Several of my friends who have been in the industry for years, and quite good at what they do, have been laid off. Many of the companies fired people simply based on who was hired last (even if they’d been there 3 years and a high contributor). Others fired just based on which team made the least money back (without regard for if they were a support team or some other important group like an infrastructure team not directly developing a product but developing for all the other teams). The steel processing company one of my friends worked for developing their inventory system and such, they told each manager to lay off 20% of their team and didn’t give any more guidance.
The article focuses on the big companies like Google and Microsoft but country wide from the companies with only a few people on up have been laying off developers. This was a safe choice field a few years ago but more is flooded with competing applicants for job listings.
mushroommunk@lemmy.todayto Books@lemmy.ml•Does anyone else feel weird about reading translations?10·14 days agoIt’s understandable. You want to read the work as to the author intended.
I’d say it matters from work to work. Some like “La Horde du Contrevent” translations apparently can’t capture all the neoligisms and subtlety of the original. Something like Kafka relies less on the specific words usually and more the path of the story and ideas and so reading a translation is just fine.

Oh, you have identical specs and built at the exact same time? Yeah, half of you are going to randomly have issues and half won’t. Enjoy head casing about that.
mushroommunk@lemmy.todayto Games@lemmy.world•'My Advice to Users Is to Accept Reality and Tune, or to Not Play' — Randy Pitchford Is at the 'Get a Refund From Steam' Stage of the Borderlands 4 PC Performance BacklashEnglish5·15 days agoThat’s probably not the cause of the issues here though. Denuvo impacts game performance but not as badly as Borderlands 4 is seeing. The engine they chose has issues even on non denuvo games. It’s an unoptimized mess and then gearbox didn’t optimize any further themselves.
This is why I just develop on the production machine.
