@Root oh, right.. Night feeding.

P.S. I'm catching up :p will bring mine home today for the first time.

@Root idk. But you're always welcome to move 😁

drawbacks:
- living close to the red bear [geographically; that's RUS]
- language is more difficult that EN [but much more flexible]
- greenery is everywhere and air might be too clean for big city folks from abroad

😁

@Root in LT moms/dads can take up to 3 years of vacation after having a newborn with guarantees that the work position will be preserved [or an adequate replacement offerred] after it. 2 of those years are paid by gov [not 100% salary tho]

+1 month for both parents after birth. Also paid.

It's a legacy of soviet union, but it's a good one imo. People here often complain that gov mistreats people, that it's impossible to live here with dignity, that we have to slave, etc. But the truth is that we have soooo many perks that other countries don't. Soooo many good things and the so-claimed mistreats are only exceptions or cornercases to the general well-being

Grasses and fences I guess...

@Root what happened? Why is the rum gone?

Excuse me, sir, this is not how BDSM works

@retoor

@kiki ooorrrr... knock on your neighbour's door at 3am and ask if they saw your monkey (and then "remember" aloud that you put it in a dishwasher and go home), so you would at least know what you're feeling guilty for.

"what do I have to do next?"
"why are they screaming this time...."
"did I forget anything?"
"how much time do I have left for/until this?"
"I wonder if I'll have time and energy today to start dabbling with nix"

that's 90% of my thoughts.

@retoor @acedev

I second what she said. Except.. I'd at 20 only advice to hold on to the SO if you have one. After 4-5 years there will hardly be left anything not in the 'desperate-to-mingle' category. And they DO get desperate. Once I was locked in her aptmt with her standing blocking the door not letting me out unless I do her. I was lucky to talk my way out [took me over an hour; I had an exam early in the morning].

Children will be a severe challenge while you're studying. But after studies -- everything @retoor said holds 100%. You will often find reasons "not to". The truth is that you are unlikely to have any better time than "now" [after studies]. Bite the bullet and go.

Imagine starting fam at 35. Living 18-20 years with your children [until adulthood] - you'll be 55 when they leave you alone. Rusty joints, poor eyesight, saggy skin.. Sounds like a good time to start enjoying life?

And how about at 45? Fully matured, €s in bank, good career, full of energy

@retoor a sinkhole? It's a hole in the soil. Arbitrary width or height. The hole appears out of nowhere and swallows whatever was over it: a house, a car, a person, a road, etc. I come from a region where they are extremely common.

No joke. They have literally swallowed people, roads with cars on it, animals, parts of houses. Just a few months back they had one street closed in my hometown bcz a sinkhole opened under it. Across the whole street.

Living in that region feels literally like living on thin ice. In spring. We got used to it and it became part of what we are. Fully aware one day we are likely to come back from work to half a house disappeared into the ground. Or wake up to that [has happened to several fams]

google them. Fascinating..Holes. They form bcz some parts of ground dissolve under the surface, forming enormous cavities, until the surface finally collapses

Been there. Done that. I still left. Months later, my previous employer's building suffered a sinkhole, a few more later - they announced they are leaving this country.

Needless to say, I did not regret my choice :)

One drawback is memory fragmentation. Meaning you will not be able to use all the preallocated memory [assuming gc does preallocation, like in jvm]

another major drawback -- STW phases for full cleanup [again, assuming hotspot-jvm-like gc]

@chatgpt are there any Linux kernel-level garbage collectors for mem-unsafe languages out there? Perhaps as an optional kernel module rather than a separate distro, to easily enable/disable it where [not] needed? Elaborate pls

@chatgpt what about kernel-level garbage collectors for memory-unsafe languages? Are there/have there been any attempts to implement them? If yes - have any examples? Did they work and why aren't they mainstream? If not - why not? Not feasible [if so - why?]? Noone's had this idea before? Any other reasons?

Feel free to elaborate, share references if applicable

@Lensflare dr does seem slower these last few weeks

@kiki looks similar, causality is different

Or bipolar

@retoor If you use path '/home', then you're referring to the '/home' resource. However, a '/home/' refers to the _root_ ['/'] resource under /home, and not /home itself.

It makes much semantic sense

@retoor is correct. Spring and Tomcat are anal about their trailing slashes. It's not just those two, in the NodeJS ecosystem you see it too and even more -- the leading slashes (at mapping) make requests' mapping at entirely different paths.

That would be greeeaaat!

@Nmeri17 well, I find spring boot much more intuitive, esp when it works by default, unless you break it.

But Spring is not the best friend of mine, even though I've worked with it for years. When it breaks or you hit a corner case, it's hell of a challenge to get it fixed. Nothing short of hacking the shit out of it.

After a few of such 'fixes' I had the 'pleasure' of diving deep into its engine and figuring out how it works and how to inject my stuff into it [eg swapping beans at runtime with different implementations of the same interface].

Regardless, now I'm no longer a fan of such framewotks. They are ok to bootstart an mvp or a poc, but eventually they become a burden where you spend most of the time wanking a Spring's beans until it feels happy enough to grant you a runtime you want.

My last 2 projects were spring-free. Very happy about them!

IMO the best approach is to hide libs and frameworks behind custom abstractions, to make them easily swappable separated

Depends on the session duration I guess

Still less painful than raw springframework though...

How about getting yourself a Christmas present? It could be anything, really. Especially a new 100% keyboard.

Just some food for thought ;)

@jestdotty my apologies. For some reason I mix you two up all the time. Idk why.. Maybe @retoor is on the right track.

Ffs, how fucked the food is that they list all the chemicals used to grow veggies as ingredients...?

I don't get the ref. :/

Also, I might be thinking of another person, but isn't it you who lives in the fields of corn, surrounded by zuccini? If so - why not grow other veggies too? Paprikas, pumpkins, basil, potatoes, tomatoes, cukes, etc.? And can the excess for the winter? I mean, I do. Quite some work, but the taste is pristine and you know exactly what you eat

What do you mean by paprikas that list their ingredienrs? Isn't the below a complete list of ingredients:
- paprika

?

Lovely
