Remember next time you complain about your life, itโ€™s all about perspective.
I have a friend who reads 2-3 books a week, works out twice a day, has no financial worries, and has people who want to have sex with him all the time.

And yet, he still complains about how much he hates prison.

What a great memory debugging tool for Go! Very cool.

Intel is bringing back free coffee for workers to try and boost morale Employees will now get free hot drinks as Intel looks to boost worker spirits

I missed Intel announcing that they went too far with their cost cuts when they eliminated free coffee and tea.

Given 15,000 layoffs, stock down -50% for the year and the fact the board just fired the CEO, the employees need a morale boost. โ˜•๏ธ

One thing not frequently talked about with remote work:
It's harder for managers to run remote teams.

Sabin Roman (first EM at Linear, a remote-first company) says:

"I really wish more managers would be open to working remotely."

The normalization of laying off people to boost stock price, seeing it in real time, continues to radicalize me. And I suppose I'm pretty radical already.

GitHub - alpinelinux/alpine-make-rootfs: Make customized Alpine Linux rootfs (base image) for containers Make customized Alpine Linux rootfs (base image) for containers - alpinelinux/alpine-make-rootfs

Anyway, sounds like my NAS is going to be an Alpine rootfs compressed as a giant initramfs.

github.com/alpinelinux/... is 90% of the way there. Just needs an init and a kernel.

Kinda surprised no one made this into a thing yet. You can even make it do A/B boot with just, like, GRUB.

interesting. just wondering why this move? are they planning to IPO in India?

i think for fintech it makes sense since RBI has lot of restrictions (good) in place.
