Don’t give them ideas

Wouldn’t want to write a webserver / database connection / scheduler / etc. from scratch. Spring Boot plus lombok turns 2k lines of code into 100.

I like the idea of it and there were times i used it correctly, but most of the time i do it wrong i guess.

I’m not sure if I understand your question, but if you are trying to build a solution, you will have to know the problem. I am writing said mailings, database, rest interfaces etc. for which Java and Spring boot is pretty useful. Some people might consider this antiquated. I also used python for data science stuff in the past. Neither would i like to have been using java back then, or python now. But in both cases i needed to know what i was building before i (or my employer) chose the technology to use.

If you are offered a position where you will have to use a technology for something you think its not a good fit for then run. Some people might even be more interested in you if you tell them as it makes you look more experienced. And you’re right, it is usually not worth it to have religious wars over 0.xy percents of performance gain, as long as you’re not trying to build a house with a screwdriver.

Let’s hope that this is not a productive system. I want to say that you’d have to try hard to do something that stupid, but then again, knowing from myself, you can cause a lot of trouble with a single command in a cli somewhere.

In my case it’s more like something from the 400 range

I recently bought a second external drive to do a backup of the first one. In the process I’m going to switch to btrfs. It can do data scrubbing which allows for self repair of corrupted data, which can occur if you leave a drive unpowered in a closet for some years.

And if you buy a pc with windows preinstalled, remove any anti virus software free trial bullshit that cones with it. Just use Windows defender as it is already enough for most use cases

I have set the list of people following me and the ones i follow on private now. This seems to be the only useful thing they could scrape. Why would i care if they can see what music i listen to? It’s not like they can see my personal info and link that or is it?

Depends on the use case.

I wrote a webserver in python the last three years and am now changing to java for a new position, and it feels like programming with training wheels.

But then again i did some data science with python and could not have imagined doing it with java.

kinda living the dream i see

There is liveuamap.com which has a news ticker. I used it to get an overview of the situation on a map, which is visualized pretty well imo. I don’t know where the information comes from, so always double check if possible.

Reminds me of the occasions when iphone customers complained about their battery draining faster / their phones lagging after a software update for years, and just recently apple responded: “you can have battery or features not both lol”.

Regarding features: Usually good software development makes the software more performant over time, not less. But customers are expected to react to excessive DRM measures (like denuvo) or the uprising telemetry hell (like windows 11) with buying more performant hardware. Yields the question what is a (desired) feature and what is a bug, AND what is a cash cow for companies milking their customers.

My tip would be to look for replacements which are advertised to work with the specific phone model but are not necessarily original replacement parts, bc like you said they tend to be fake and of bad quality. There are a number of brands who have specialized in this market by now. There are also very few brands who sell original parts via ifixit (e.g. google for pixel phones)

Also, if you want to replace a battery stay away from samsung. They glue the batteries in so tight that you have to use alcohol to loosen up the adhesive.

Also also, if you want to replace anything, stay away from apple. They have a history of bricking devices software side if they detect third party parts.

Consider buying a phone which lets you change the battery considerably easy. I watch teardown videos of phones before i buy one to compare the process and the likeliness of me breaking something in the process. Of course not everyone is going to do this, but you could ask a friend to do it (i changed batteries for phones of at least 3 or 4 people by now).

Apple doing software updates for such an extended period of time is wild, considering how anti-consumer they are in the first place (bad repairability, walled garden, bizarre prices).

Google does 5 years updates for the pixel phones, which is to be expected since they own android lol.
