most of the people buying these are buying a costume, not a work vehicle, if my neighbors are any indication

it’s a status symbol

I’m not going to get excited about any “deceleration”; this is still an increase. And due to “base effects”,¹ we’re comparing against high values. Until it’s steeply negative it’s nothing to get excited about.

¹ year over year measures compare now versus a year ago. if a year ago was unusually high, you’d expect this comparison to revert to the mean over time as the window shifts forward; it could have more to do with what you’re comparing to (a year ago) than what’s happening today

My Nova Scotia home was built by the government in 1990! This entire street was. There’s also a little cul-de-sac of co-op rentals. Doesn’t that sound like a great idea today?

I think it might have its place, but that place might be part of calligraphy in an art class.

the sobeys in my area has some decent in-house bread. i can’t get a decent loaf of third-party bread off the shelves anymore - it’s all wonderbread etc. was really loving dave’s killer bread but it’s been seemingly replaced by extremely mediocre bread with similar marketing, as if i’m buying the packaging.

not a lot of respect for consumers on display

Yikes. Can you imagine a more soul-crushing job than making marketing posters for the most boring soup possible?

I imagine it goes something like this:

Jim, we’ve got some ad space. Malls across the world. You’re going to use that as a canvas to sell tomato soup. People love tomato soup. Sells itself, by itself. Don’t show a grilled cheese near it - we don’t sell those and lets face it, tomato soup is not the arm candy in that pairing. Oh, and have fun with it! We’re a family. Please have it done by Sunday.

Solid handling of asynchronous interactions with overloaded servers i.e.: a user API action queue with clear indication of API return response status, ability to retry if necessary.

I’m pretty jazzed for it; my current app experience is not great. I don’t blame the developer, I understand the difficulty, but it’s pretty clunky.

Yes, eventually, but we should stop terraforming earth first

Yeah, there’s really no reason to spread this except to piss people off.

I stick with vim for years out of that sort of badge of honor. Now I use vscode and nobody is taking it from me.

You can do almost anything in vim or emacs, but I can do it faster in vscode. It’s a really fantastic tool and it’s completely free.

I’m currently working on a disaster recovery plan using fsarchiver. I have very limited experience with it so far, but it had the features and social proof I was looking for.

I have so far used it to create offline filesystem backups of two volumes, one was LUKS encrypted (has to be manually “opened” with cryptsetup).

It can backup live filesystems which was important to me.

It’s early days for my experience with this, but I’m sure others have used it and might chime in.

Seconding Amid Evil, it’s a lot of fun. Sometimes I fire it up for a quick game. Cool weapons.

ploink!

I’ve had a couple tabby cats in my life and they’ll always more sway over me than other cats do

Operate the spoon, subject!

Kind of a numbers game, isn’t it? On top of that there’s the difference between your own taste and whatever taste a potential audience has

Luckily I only write for me; if it was for anyone else I would have stopped!
