Yeah I was not a fan of paying for Spotify and them cramming ads of podcasts down my throat when I wanted to listen to music. Plus their shuffle is a joke. Music discovery was pretty sweet though
Hard Fork: for keeping up with the biggest tech news. they do dissecting of potential impact if stuff.
Lex Fridman: He interviews really interesting subjects. I'll listen to subjects I'm interested in based on who they are or the subject matter they are an expert in. Lot's interesting tech folks. My favorite episode so far is with John Carmack: Doom, Quake, VR, AGI, Programming, Video Games, and Rockets. Epsidoe is 5 f***king hours but broke it up into several sessions and Carmack is so good in articulating, it flew by.
Huberman Lab: before software I liked biology and medicine. I like these occasionally because I get to learn how systems outside of software/hardware work. These I will watch/listen in a sitting as one would to a movie. It demands your attention to follow along. (I don't like when doctors have podcasts with all the "alternative medice" BS. But Huberman is an active researcher at Stanford and in charge of a lab that cranks out sweet research. Def credible dude and very methodic and tries to rule out bias).
You can still buy a lifetime licenses of office but you have to buy it from 3rd party sellers and then validate the license with M$. Example Deal..
I bought 2 of them and also saved the install binary to have office suite.
I use libreoffice personally but I have family members that get frustrated when they cannot find the same formatting options
I tried Logitech's wave keys at the store and I fell in love with them. I have several custom keyboards (including a HHKB with topre keys and WASD Code keeyboard) and this puts them to shame, unfortunetly. Can pick it up for $56 USD.

- The shape is not those crazy ergo keyboards but the keys are very easy to reach, and you will not have to adjust to a new layout if you are comfortable with laptop keys.
- The keys have more travel than laptop keys but less than mech keyboards (on average).
- The Keys are also effortless to press but offer resistance.
- Bluetooth and if you use wireless Logitech mouse you can use the same BT receiver.
- They have them at Staples and Best Buy, so you can go and try it out.
As for programming, I found the WASD Code keyboard to be pretty customizable with their hardware switches. I can flip a switch and boom, my Caps Lock is now another Ctrl, etc. But you can do that in the OS as well. They go around $99 and you can pick different keys. Not sure if they have any wireless ones

I always thought about this. What about those with disabilities, like ADHD? Can companies really maintain their "equal opportunity employer" position while stripping privacy in the workplace? That's an over generalization for moving to an open office.
They will make a few exceptions then at some point say "that's enough" when all the employees need is less stimulation and more privacy
The statement is very informative. The bug happens under increased read/write operations to the same file causing a race condition.
I also found interesting:
Despite the bug being present in OpenZFS for many years, this issue has not been found to impact any TrueNAS systems. The bug fix is scheduled to be included in OpenZFS 2.2.2 within the next week
I'd really want to know what's driving them
likely ego
This is interesting. Don't have an opinion on it yet.
I wonder what effect this will have on developers' code reuse practices and how it comes across in the interview.
At work I often look at my previous work for how to do boilerplate stuff. And in my recent interview experience I had more opportunities to use the internet and other examples. Very practical
When I was in college, two older classmates whom I respected got into a hilarious argument of why Gnome was awesome and now eats rocks (their views, I had no views).
Their elaborate and very specific descriptions of functions and inconveniences drew up a picture of functionality and a e s t h e t i c I had never experienced on windows. So I proceeded to install a distro and take it for a ride
code is just text, so code editors are text editors.
What sets IDEs apart are their features, like debugger integrations, refactoring assists, etc.
I love command line ± Vim and used solely it for a large portion of my career but that was back when you had a few big enterprise languages (C/C++, Java).
With micro services being language agnostic, I find I use a larger variety of languages. And configuring and remembering an environment for rust, go, c, python etc. is just too much mental overhead. Hard to beat JetBrain's IDEs; now-a-days I bring my Vim navigation key bindings to my IDE instead of my IDE features to Vim. And I pay a company to work out the IDE features.
for the record, I am in the boat of, use whatever brings you the greatest joy/productivity.
