Not sure if this is what you were looking for but there’s a link at the bottom of the repo to a GitHub pages hosted version of the 2020 version.

They’ve been changing their terms of service over the past year with some shady stuff and have continuously screwed over creators. I’m planning on yanking my music out of there too.

This explains a bit more

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.

Unfortunately, that kind of seems where it’s all headed. States will lock into a party, people will either be forced or feel forced to move to a state that they align with, states begin to secede.

If Jesus himself came and told all MAGA to embrace their lefty neighbors and immigrants, they could call him a hoax. I really don’t see a way out of how divided we are. And it doesn’t help we have 3.5yrs left of divisive bullshit spewing out of the white house everyday.

What the absolute flying fuck…

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.

Isn’t this kinda how the SS came to be?

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.

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.

Greta article talking about this very same guy and the mole who helped release the info.

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.

From the video I saw of the incident, it looks like they were flying them from a safe distance to the crowd. But possibly some kind of interference or routine code bug caused some to drop and others to shoot out in random directions at full speed. As an FPV pilot, it’s crazy how fast they can pick up speed. I wonder if they lost all TX/RX abilities in order to turn them off. It happened to me once, luckily in a field alone and was only able to find it because of the stupid loud beeper I put on it.

I think drone shows are super neat, but there maybe needs to be a minimum distance regulation and required netting in front of crowds before we keep bringing the tech to events.

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.

Sorry, misread your comment.

Last I read that claimed was confirmed as untrue. City Bike said it wasn’t one of theirs.

More like a Goebbels level than a guard. Guard would be like a customer service agent. The CEO was way more involved than that.

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.
