It wasn’t obvious because I’m not quite sure why someone would suggest using software that both needs regular updates and will never get any more updates because those updates along with good faith open source contributions have been moved behind a paywall.

Which one? The deprecated one without updates? Or the paid one that’s basically RustRover?

The baseline cloud certs should be much cheaper. AWS Associate tiers are something like 150/test.

You might also have luck with the big consulting companies. NTT, Slalom, Accenture, stuff like that. Might be less permanent but will pay pretty well.

PyCharm and IntelliJ Community don’t have commercial restrictions. I’m still pretty anti-RustRover given this and the whole bait-and-switch where they turned the open source Rust plugin into what is now a closed source, paid editor. JetBrains still had done nothing to ameliorate this.

If you are able to find a US govt job and can make it through the whatever period you need to be a contractor until you get hired on as a federal employee, this should cover you. I have a contact in a similar situation except cluster headaches. It’s going to pay less than private sector and you might have to learn some new skills for the right role. IIRC Softrams just landed a huge federal contract and hires warm bodies; might be a great place to start.

I’ve got a lot of contacts on the market right now struggling to land a gig that wouldn’t have struggled a few years ago. Do you have DevOps skills? Any security qualifications? Get both. Are you working on certs? Do some. Have you hired a resume service? Do so. The last two are things I normally think are kinda bullshit but they are edges that seem to matter right now.

As for a recruiting firm, I feel like all the good recruiters I’ve worked with would have advocated for me. That’s a total fucking crapshoot tho. I’ve worked with plenty that have shafted me. I don’t think there’s a specific firm for this problem.

The only feature that vanilla Make doesn’t have over this is solid Windows support.

I’ve evaluated a ton of these tools for CI/CD processes and common task management. So far I have found that Make is the best solution for task management unless you need strong Windows support. If you want to go crazy, you can use Autotools but that’s really only for builds not tasks. I get it; it’s cool to reinvent the wheel with a new feature that makes one thing a little bit easier.

I can’t find this being a problem. What circles do you move in where “jerk” is a problematic word?

In the forty years since its introduction, most of the people that support the broken windows theory are the police and the people that disagree with it are basically everyone else. Not a great foundation for any computing conversations today.

Looks like there is now a subscription program. imo that’s much better than it used to be at least for Insta (apologies for the link; not sure when it changed so that’s the best quick search).

Are you sure it was set up correctly before? Kibana is the tool I’ve provisioned for dev log access for years so I don’t have to give them k8s perms. I have trained teams on debugging via Kibana and used Kibana myself for figuring out where prod errors were happening.

Your first paragraph is super shitty devX. That’s not okay. Your penultimate paragraph is really what I’m asking about.

What I’m guessing is that these things have a different loader you want to use. You’re headed in the right direction here. The “no method” error just means you have to trace what you need.

You could also look at something like pipx or a virtualenv to guarantee an older version of Python.

What’s the constructor in PosixPath look like?

In case you want to fact check this post, I highly recommend Glyn Moody’s Rebel Code. It’s a nice, fast read and covers all sorts of cool shit. I’d love to see a sequel covering newer events.

(Edit: OP is facetious; mine is only facetious in that it references OP)

A problem so common it has an official page

Users aren’t responsible for the plethora of security issues Microsoft regularly releases.

Reading the notes makes me think tools like Jedi would be reclassified as AI? What am I missing? Was Intellisense AI all along?

Edit: SublimeCodeIntel was the tool I was trying to think of that wasn’t MS. How are these different?

It’s not really free software if I get to tell you what you have to do with it, now is it?

Absolutely (re: theming and tuning)! My actual work scheme is a slightly off white and a lighter transparent black, which is closer to the theming you’re talking about. I’m also just really happy with simple stuff, possibly because I did have that old CRT experience? Your point about size is well-taken. I read this article on my phone (which is my travel ereader) and wasn’t bothered. I hadn’t considered size there.

The tools linked in the article (eg WebAIM)you linked give white on black a pass.

Fascinating! White-on-black is how I’ve used ereaders for around 15 years now. Black-on-white (on a screen) burns my eyes.

Did you spend much time as a kid with a raw terminal (eg vanilla DOS on a CRT)? I’m curious if anecdotally there is correlation.
