I visited the installation "Big Air Package" in Germany a while back. And it was transformative.

The installation consists of a canvas "balloon" inside an old, desafected gasometer. The public can visit the interior and the exterior.

At that time, I remember quipping to myself that it was a cathedral for the non-believers. The peace and tranquility of its "inside" space lending it spiritual properties. But yes, it was just an industrial amount of canvas and rope that they had to landfill somewhere.


Here's a better[1] overview: https://lwn.net/Articles/593676/

Despite not using the full features of the standard, Handmade Hero is written in C++ not C. And you know what those people think when you conflate the two.


Well, I think the scale of the problems you can takle on your own in an open source project vs. as part of an established game dev studio team is quite different.

Please don't project your own perspective on other's people work/life balance and consider it as the only valid way that things can be.


> Those skills are not very transferable.

I think you are very wrong. Qt is just a bunch of C++ with preprocessing. Knowing C++ is a very transferable skill.


Yes, I'm fully aware of what C++ is. I'm talking about Qt skills specifically.

My point is that in Electron development, the Electron specific skills is very small part of development. Most of the skills and tools used are also widely used elsewhere in industry. This is not the case for Qt work.


As someone that didn't get an on-site interview because of a failed coding challenge, despite 15+ years experience, relevant open-source work, and previous development done for companies under the DH umbrella as a contractor, all I can say is: you guys need to have a better hiring process.


If this is a scenario that happens often, you probably should invest in a portable method to hold your ssh keys, such as a smart card. I have only used YubiKey for this purpose, but I'm sure others, like the Nitrokey, work similarly.


How about telling people to stop having kids? That's going to have a greater impact[1] in the long run than not eating meat.

Well, if you can't bring yourself to tell people that, what makes it all right to tell them to go vegetarian (TODAY)?

Prozelytizing your style of life is not how you get others to be more friendly to the environment.

I personally don't want to have kids and don't see that changing. Although I don't see how your suggestion isn't 'prozelytizing' as well, it is much easier to change your diet (even partially) than to possibly de-rail massive life plans which may already be in motion. There are tonnes of great foods you can eat which are just vegetables and as a previously MASSIVE meat eater, I no longer miss it. Just to be clear I don't disagree with you, but one choice is not interchangeable with the other.


I use gopass a lot, but they direction in which they took the pass API is absolutely horrible. The ammount of irrelevant commands they added made it an UX nightmare.


Pass has no out of the box multi user support. Gopass allows encryption for multiple keys, hence better for teams.

I use it for the same reason to encrypt different folders with different keys (work vs. private).
