Black Mesa: We're beyond excited to announce our new game, Rogue Point. Brought to you by Crowbar Collective and Team 17
  • Kinda disappointing. I was hoping for a single-player-focused title.

  • Ericsson’s return-to-office policy is causing trouble
  • The most shameful part is that the union unequivocally supports RTO, they just want it to be done a bit more slowly.

    Fuck neurodivergent people, and people who took the job from another city, like those in rhe article who need to commute 6 hours a day, right?

  • What is a creepy or weird fact that would scare even the bravest person?
  • That's not creepy or weird, that's horrifying.

  • The Death of the Junior Developer
  • Except "mass" is not useful by itself. It's not a chair factory where more people equals faster delivery, just like 9 women won't deliver a baby in a month. I wish companies understood this.

  • What is the most important unanswered question about the Fediverse?
  • I think the answer to this is lack of adoption.

  • Why I ditched Twitter for Bluesky - and hope you will, too!
  • Ok, but the comment thread is about people preferring Bluesky to Mastodon, hence my confusion.

  • Why I ditched Twitter for Bluesky - and hope you will, too!
  • Isn't the format literally just Twitter?

  • My religion is atheist?
  • Then I'd have to assume your religion is also not-believing-in-unicorns and round-earthism, as well as humans-need-oxygenism.

    Agnosticism is not a lack of belief, it is a stance that one doesn't know whether a god exists or not. Frequently, the "belief" would be that it's impossible to know, which, by your definition, would also make it a religion.

    The argument does not hold up.

  • Only 5 years out of date now 🙃
  • Are you complaining that older versions of Java don't have the features of newer versions of Java...?

  • For me, as primarily a backend dev, the argument was that it's a framework, unlike React, so you get an everything-in-one solution which is quite easy to setup and use.

    Given that Google still hasn't killed this one yet, it's also a mature platform with plenty of articles online on how to use it.

    IIRC the license was also better than React's, at least last time I checked.

    Not sure on what the landscape looks like today, but when I was making the choice, the internet didn't seem to consider other solutions to be competitive with either React or Angular.

  • Yes, It’s Still Really Worth Avoiding COVID—Even If You’ve Already Had It a Few Times
  • Ah, yes, because if you do a modicum of prevention, like wearing a mask, you're obviously missing life and there's definitely no way to keep up with the world unless you just completely give up on safety. No in-between, snort covid or become a social shut-in.

  • Off My Chest: I just had a very long talk with my father
  • Not sure the son would see it the same way...

  • PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection
  • FYI there's a fully playable unofficial port for Jak 1 and 2, and they're working on the 3rd one: https://opengoal.dev/

  • What are your red flags for job interviews?
  • I just refuse any offer with any kind of on-call expectation. I work set hours and after that I'm no longer available.

    It's been working for me for the last decade.

  • French authorities arrest Telegram’s CEO
  • I feel like I'd believe it if the headline was about John McAfee.

  • Are LLMs capable of writing *good* code?
  • In my experience LLMs do absolutely terribly with writing unit tests.

  • Are LLMs capable of writing *good* code?
  • IMO this perspective that we're all just "reimplementing basic CRUD" applications is the reason why so many software projects fail.

  • It's probably time to stop recommending Clean Code @ Things Of Interest
  • Good abstractions are important for the code to be readable. An AbstractEventHandlerManager is probably not a good abstraction.

    The original commenter said that their code was "generic with lot of interfaces and polymorphism" - it sounds like they chose abstractions which hindered maintainability and readability.

  • It's probably time to stop recommending Clean Code @ Things Of Interest
  • Is it possible that you just chose the wrong abstractions?
