Anyone around who uses Playwright at scale at work?

Matz spent so much time and effort coming up with an elegant syntax for Ruby, then I go ahead and write a Ruby program in just C

My apologies

@vmbrasseur The Rails foundation is flush with cash, and is not directing any of it back to contributors or maintainers.

See: https://ruby.social/@Ryanbigg/111461619675785140

So IDK why they are prioritizing a paid job board.

I moderate /r/ruby and /r/rails, and there's a bi-weekly posting asking for people to post jobs. And it's free!

Watching a mutual ask for printer recs and receive a chorus of tired tech folk going "Just get a Brother, they're fine" and man

MAN

Like this is actually kinda fascinating honestly, Brother is now the best printer brand, the one that every Computer Person recommends, and is it because their printers are good? Their printers are fine, they print, whatever, no, it's because everybody else's printers have gotten Innovated out the wazoo, every innovation making them way worse, until it's gotten to the point where I wouldn't have one in the house even if it were free, and meanwhile Brother's have remained consistently Fine I Guess, which now makes them the best printer manufacturer simply by virtue of them opting out of the Who Can Get Crappiest Fastest race

Brother have gotten to where they are now, by NOT innovating

EDIT 2023-11-27 2130 UTC: I muted this thread a while back because wew lad this got too big. I won't see your reply but the lurkers (and commentors) of Hacker News might.

People and SEO Spam like this are ruining the internet. Fuck this shite.

Kicking Erwin Schrödinger out of my idols. Not because he chose a cat for his thought experiment, but because of one thing I learnt: he sexually abused children and kept a diary about it. 🤮 Src: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erwin_Schr%C3%B6dinger#Sexual_abuse

I'm streaming on #twitch right now 🎉

I'm going to be doing a lot of #emberjs open source maintenance, lots to do so little time 🙈 pop in to show your support and help keep me sane 🤪

I need to get out of my workplace ASAP. Leads on decent workplaces with suitable positions are appreciated. I no longer feel psychologically safe.

I'm open to junior level SWE/SRE, FOSS journalism, and to a lesser degree technical writing. I work for <large_tech_company> as a TW. CompSci background.

I've recognised that I need this lifeboat. My mental wellbeing has been declining for a very long time with work being the source.

Any help appreciated.

We at @mainmatter have been long-term active members and contributors to the #emberjs community.

Now we're expanding into #svelte. Why do we do that and what does it mean for our involvement with Ember?

Surprising fact: no major professional scientific organization has flipped from a paywalled publishing model to 100% Open Access.

The @ACM the world's foremost professional computing organization, is going to be the first on January 1, 2026, when its entire digital library will become freely available to the public.

I’ve worked in tech for 21 years. I decided today that I was overdue in joining a union. Really grateful for the United Tech and Allied Workers branch of the CWU attending the exhibitors hall at NIDevConf a couple of weekends ago.
