19 days agoI’m still in a mechanical engineering world so just saying INT and FLOAT has people running away. Excel is the “safe zone” for them, sadly it means that I’ll just be doing the VBA part and oh gawd please get me out of here…

Can confirm. Was quite unhappy in my mechanical engineering job, had an opportunity to develop something nice in python, was told we’d do it in excel/vba instead, still unhappy.
I remember those questions! As soon as I read high school my mind went from “working for Canonical would be nice” to “let’s justify not writing an essay by reading everything bad about Canonical”.
Lucky for me it was easy as r/recruitinghell was full of post about people doing the whole process and being rejected. Also the CEO had a reddit account and the way he was justifying this process didn’t jive with me, at all.
Just tried both and I don’t know which one made me feel better
One felt like being run over by a train, the other felt I was a legless puppy in front of a kindergarten.

I’m at a point where I layer enough software that I don’t know If there is still value added.

+1… Started using Zola and built on top of it to learn scss, javascript, and HTML. All that extra building was not required for a running site but was still a great learning experience.
The fact that zombies seems to be able to walk indefinitly in most movies/series without consuming energy bothers me more than it should.
Do they all evolve to photosynthesize!?
Some bloggers have experimented and used Mastodon as a medium to comments on their blog posts. Works quite well.

It’s a software that is used extensively in aerospace and car industries. It’s also ludicrous how expensive the licenses are.
It’s hard to beat for completeness of functions but also for complexity.
Working with Catia is the other way around, no amount of documentation is complex enough that you really understand what something does or can do.
Damn, rust really embrace the “Hey, Can I copy your homework?” Meme. I like rust btw, it’s just funny how often I see something along the line of “it’s like X, but in rust!”

551·10 months agoIn the newly unsealed documents, Ms Ransome testified that her unnamed friend “was one of the many girls that had sexual relations with Donald Trump” – including at Epstein’s New York townhouse.
She then described in graphic detail how Mr Trump allegedly caused pain to the victim’s nipples – and claimed she saw the resulting injury firsthand.
I mean, it’s not nothing… Far from even.
First thing I’d do is to look at the client (fedora) journal for anything funky happening.
‘sudo systemctl status nfs-client’
Since it’s random I assume you won’t have any timeout in your /etc/fstab but it might be worth taking a look anyway.
Be aware that if the network drops the NFS will be disconnected and won’t auto-reconnect so this could also be the issue.
I don’t know if it plays well with container mounted volume, but looking at autofs could be a solution to auto-remount the share. I use it profusely for network mounted home directories.
