    So.... How Long Until The Hiring Market Recovers?

    In my past experience, it was immediately after the holiday break -- just waiting on hiring managers to get back and start scheduling interviews.

    Move Politics To The Forums

    To give you some background @frodoh, the only reason #politics exists in the slack is to keep political discourse out of the rest of the slack team. The slack team explicitly avoids tight moderation of #politics because it exists as a containment channel. That said, a goal of the moderation team...

    Move Politics To The Forums

    Honestly, I think it's a good thing. I feel like without a retention policy, people are less likely to say things that they would otherwise say if it had more permanence. Less likely to sling shit if there's a permanent reminder. I can definitely see the downside though. I just don't see that...

    Integrating Python with Rust for High-Performance Extensions

    This is a great way to creep Rust into a code base where it makes sense to get the performance benefits. Additionally, I know you can do the same with Rust + Ruby, and probably others as well. (I'll let a Rubyist around here expand on that). I'm a strong proponent of "right tool for the job" so...

    Proxmox: Unique Use Cases?

    Like @D.White, I too am pretty run-of-the-mill in my Proxmox setup. Synology NAS is used as my primary data store, providing NFS to VMs. Proxmox is running on one machine (would like to add a second to spread the load a bit) Small VMs for most services (game servers, navidrome instance, etc)...

    Satisfying programming languages to learn?

    For a full "batteries included" type of experience, C# with .NET is great. Go is fun to learn just because it's so darn opinionated.

    Cloudflare Adds "Block AI Scrapers and Crawlers" to Security Options

    That's huge. Do AI bots not honor robots.txt entries?

    yt-dlp, the ultimate youtube-dl successor

    Thanks for posting @ryanmaynard . I need to setup a pipeline so that I can throw YouTube URLs at _something_ and have it automatically archive them offline for me. I would be surprised if something like that doesn't exist, but just a simple "take URL, pass it to yt-dlp, stash it somewhere for...

    v2.3 XenForo Beta Upgrade?

    I say send it. What's the point of a nerd forum without doing stupid bleeding-edge stuff with very little upside?!

    Redox - A Rust Microkernel OS

    I've been vaguely following the development of Redox on twitter. Jeremy Soller (System76 engineer, Pop OS maintainer) has been leading the development of it. It's an interesting project that is building a Unix-like operating system using a Rust microkernel. The dream of GNU Mach is still alive...

    Tech Horror Stories: When things go wrong

    I'm sure I've done something stupid that's messed stuff up in production, but I'm struggling to think of a time right now. The one that I recall vividly, wasn't even a big deal but: I was at my first job, and I had just been upgraded to a different machine. I installed Ubuntu on it, got my dev...

    Bookshelf: Books every developer needs to read

    The Practice of Programing by Brian W. Kernighan and Rob Pike. This is an older but not quite outdated book that I would definitely recommend. It is kind of a primer on a bunch of topics like debugging, testing, designing systems, algorithms, lots of stuff.

    PHP 8, Laravel 8, and FrankenPHP - The ultimate indie dev stack of 2024

    I really like this line of thinking. I'm a big fan of learning by doing, and having a drop-in "use this stack, build X, you'll learn a ton" type of boilerplate is fantastic. I know people want to really hate on PHP, but modern PHP is not awful, and concepts you learn there (like MVC, OOP...

    Top Tools and Techniques to Enhance Your Test Suite

    Very valuable rundown and resources as always, @t-richards . How do you see fuzzing fitting into tests? Do you use fuzzing at all? Do you consider that a separate component completely? Do you incorporate fuzzing into a recurring task (maybe part of CI?) or as a one-off measure?
