It’s super aggravating. Lemmy is pretty much my only social outlet. I’ve had to go back to Discord.

But hey, it’s free/no ads. I’ll probably soon be in a position (after several months out of work) to donate, but until I do I guess I can’t exactly complain.

Here is !linux@lemmy.world through lemmy.world.

Here it is through PD:

lemmynsfw is the same: 12 days since a post.

Here is a link of me asking in comments if I was missing something and someone confirming I was: https://programming.dev/post/20400237/12746874

It’s the same on desktop so I don’t think it’s a phone/cache issue.

My whole feed has been hosed for a couple of weeks. I’m seeing zero posts in about half my subbed communities and scant few posts even in the ones that do get them. I’m also not seeing all the comments or votes. I assume this is being worked on, but Lemmy might as well be dead for me. I can go 9 hours without a new post anywhere.

I think job postings are better in indeed, but tbh >75% I’ve gotten in pretty much my whole 25+ year career has been through a recruiter. Dice.com used to be big for tech jobs back in the day but I’m not sure any more.

As a SSE, mostly I have recruiters hitting me up through linked in. This is also a really bad time. I’ve been back to work for about a month after 5 months of not finding anything. That’s the worst drought I’ve had in almost 15 years. Usually it’s < 1 month.

Be seriously prepared about cloud. It’s so anyone fucking wants right now. I’m a damn good Java/js developer, but I’m still learning the tech stack and I haven’t touched a line of code yet in this job. Everything has been configuration and pipelines. I feel more like devops than developer.

I don’t think they are all fine. My feed is almost empty. I’ll go hours without a new post. Not just new stuff, but old stuff, too. I’ve got a single post in Star Wars ever. Zero gonewild posts in days. Even politics and news (on various instances) are barely seeing any posts. But they see a few.

I guess I’m sticking it out for now, but Lemmy has become an absolute ghost town for me with nothing to do and no one to talk to.

Me and some old guildies have kept in touch off and on over the years. Every once in a while I’d buy a wow expansion and do a couple of dungeons. We were really looking forward to making Diablo 4 our new hang out.

We played like hell all through the beta. Then like twice in live. Then we all kinda decided it sucked. I think my good friend’s daughter is graduating soon. Or possibly already did. I can’t remember how much older than my own kids she was. I can remember when she was born.

He’s still like a brother to me, but we’ve got fuck all in common any more and we can’t keep talking about glory days that were damn near 20 years ago.

Is this why my subscribed feed is basically empty now? I go 8 hours without a new post. And a lot of the posts I do see have only a single upvote when I’d expect dozens.

There’s only been a single Star Wars post ever.

If this is being worked on, that’s cool. But I haven’t seen any mention.

Go for it. React wasn’t anything anyone gave a shit about until it was. It’ll eventually die, too, like every other front end framework. Maybe this’ll be the concept that replaces it. Who knows?

Completely agree.

I never buy gas at BP or Exxon. Ever. Smart phone though? That’s required for my job.

Who would do such a thing??

I don’t think I would agree that just because something is public that it’s a public forum. I feel like the public has to own it as well. I looked it up and maybe it’s because I predate social media by rather a lot, but I think of it in the classical sense:

Public forums are typically categorized into three types:

1. Traditional Public Forums: Long-established spaces like parks or sidewalks, where people have historically exercised their rights to free speech and assembly.
2. Designated Public Forums: Areas that the government intentionally opens up for public expression, such as town halls or school meeting rooms.
3. Limited Public Forums: Spaces opened for specific types of discussions or activities but with certain restrictions on the subject matter or participants.

The important factor being public ownership of the forum. I will concede that it has colloquially come to include public social media, but I think it’s important to distinguish that it’s not really the same thing at all as has been discussed through most of our history.

Food for thought. I just think calling them public forums attaches too much importance to a profit seeking endeavor.

I would only note that for the vast majority of my experience these streams can only return up to a single match. Determinism isn’t really preserved by findFirst, either, unless the sort order is set up that way.

Finding the first Jim Jones in a table is no more reliable that finding any Jim Jones. But finding PersonId 13579 is deterministic whether you findFirst or findAny.

Perhaps you work in a different domain where your experience is different.

I try to prefer .findAny() over .findFirst() because it will perform better in some cases (it will have to resolve whether there are other matches and which one is actually first before it can terminate - more relevant for parallel streams I think. findAny short circuits that) but otherwise I like the first. I’d probably go with some sort of composed predicate for the second, to be able to easily add new criteria. But I could be over engineering.

I mostly just posted because I think not enough people are aware of the reasons to use findAny as a default unless findFirst is needed.

I have a separate modem from my WiFi, but I’d sell you mine that’s a couple of years old for $50 because I just upgraded to fiber a few months ago and it’s just sitting in my network corner. But if you want one with integrated WiFi, this isn’t.

I asked ChatGPT for a tldr because same. The result reads like ad copy. Idk, man.

The memory packaging market is evolving with advancements like flip-chip, wire-bond, and through-silicon via (TSV) technologies. These innovations enable smaller, more powerful, and faster devices, particularly in smartphones, where efficient space use is crucial for sleek designs. DRAM, while still used in PCs, faces declining adoption due to its complexity and the rise of alternatives like 3D TSV, which offer better functionality. The APAC region, especially China, is leading the growth in memory packaging, driven by investments in assembly infrastructure and rising demand for mobile applications using system-in-package (SiP) technologies.

I think the process of explaining what you want to an AI can often be helpful. Especially given the number of times I’ve explained things to junior developers and they’ve said they understood completely, but then when I see what they wrote they clearly didn’t.

Explaining to an AI is a pretty good test of how well the stories and comments are written.

Something something sharks?

There are certain things that are easier in a UI like finding the commits related to a defective feature and rolling them back, but for most operations I use the CLI.

I appreciate you pointing this out. Today is literally my first day on the job after 5 months, but I’ll throw some cash their way after a check or two.
