Really wish the article mentioned the population before the eruption. Found this on Wikipedia if anyone was wondering as well:

Earlier genetic analysis of Alu sequences across the entire human genome has shown that the effective human population size was less than 26,000 at 1.2 million years ago - Wikipedia

Oracle owns the JavaScript trademark. A bunch of devs, including myself, signed this letter arguing how they should give it up.

Oracle, it’s time to free JavaScript.

Marcus?

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.

I’ve quite enjoyed Tuxedo OS on my gaming rig. Worked right out of the box with every game I’ve thrown at it with my Nvidia GPU.

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.

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.

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.

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.

That would make total sense given the time of day. I hadn’t thought about the different make up of a cloud due to altitude.

Been busy but I tried to search on my phone and all I could find was live flight tracking data. Hoping to check on my laptop later tonight.

Not dead but my uh… orifices are not ok.

Makes sense about plasma being short lived. It was just so close to the color I imagine an aurora to be along with the glow. I mentioned in another comment but I’m gonna look at the flight paths near here at that time to see if something comes up.

I’m gonna check out flight paths from yesterday to see if that’s the case. I’m real close to an airport so I wouldn’t doubt that to be the case. It’s more the color it was that threw me off.
