trying out subreply again: Hashicorp IPO'ed today. I do like a lot of their tools and services, but I feel like it's a sign that building software has become a bit too complicated to necessitate all these tools to scale tech services. Does hashicorp's (et. al competitors) services really save organizations large enough to utilize them enough headcount to justify the hefty price?

Anyone get more interesting in learning about the stock market after the whole GME thing (kinda still going on honestly)? I started trading options which has been fun to gamble on it.

The general failure and ultimate collapse of the Texas power grid should forever be remembered as a failure of unregulated capitalism. For the numerous failures and tragedies broadly attributed to "socialism", I think it is fair to blame this on on capitalism.

Not trying to sound rude or anything, but why do you, personally, like smaller phones? Is it the portability, convenience, or just preference? I personally am fine with phones that are a bit bigger because of my hand size lol
đ Pr
haha I get that question a ton. my thumb does not reach very far across my hand - when I signal a '4', my thumb barely reaches the gap between my pinky and ring finger. This means for larger phones I can't reach the top left of the screen without maneuvering the phone in a way that increases the likelihood of me dropping my phone đ

The upcoming Sony Xperia Compact (140x68.9x8.9mm) seems big to me. Maybe iPhone 13 mini (131.5x64.2x7.4mm) would come with USB-C charging. I really enjoy the size of my XZ1 Compact (129x65x9.3mm).

I had to switch to the new iphone mini just because it was the only updated small phone out there. I loved my xperia compact (had the z5c, and the x compact), but they were getting old. finally i switched to the iphone SE 1st gen for a year or so and now i'm on the mini. I hope the mini will start a new trend of small android devices again

struggling with focus at work, even though my coworkers and team are very positive and helpful. Feels like I don't do anything really at work, but it has not been noticed yet - but worried that it will be noticed soon enough. I just can't get myself to focus on the tasks at hand because of how ambiguous they can be.

So, Apple can build a Touch ID into the 6mm frame of iPad Air. But they can't to the same with the 8mm frame of iPhone for an all-screen design. iPad team needs to design new iPhones.

Definitely out of my reach. But the product, and the offer, surely looks appealing. Be it as it may, if you're enticed, try first watching/reading reviews of the former version to see if it's just a novelty item or a truly worthwhile tool. Maybe that'll help you make a more informed decision.

I wanted to get excited by this, but it's actually pretty big. Almost a sheet of A4 paper. Still lots of lag re-rendering the eink too..

That's politics everywhere, at any given time. At that level it's too abstract to be existentially meaningful. So it's always a facade.

I started playing lasertag regularly with a few friends. This totally counts as workout from a back pain point of view.
đ¨ī¸ Fui
I have severe back pains from time to time. In my case, that is the sign I have to change my workout habits (it lack of them, to be precise). Once I do that, the pains usually subside. Problem is: I'm not particularly fond of working out, so I'm always on this merry go round of being/not being in pain.
