"Kind of the same" here. I'm being laid off for economic reasons and I'm lucky that my country helps me. My salary is maintained at ~70% tax free for a year while I'm searching for a new job or following trainings.

This means that I have a "sabbatical" year ahead of me if I want to. I'm planning on 2 months before working again and in the meantime I'm learning Rust (coming from Typescript), although I don't think I'll land a job for it.

What's the most frightening are:

- the personal finances (I've got a house to pay!)

- I'll need to calm down on my hobbies

- the comparisons with other developers

- will I find a job? I may be lurking /r/recruitinghell to much...

I've been working for 10 years in the industry already but there's always doubt. Should I continue programming? TBH I don't see myself doing something else and I'd miss WFH too much.

Ahhhh...

You can build a shack in a year. Take the pay and learn masonry, build a 10x20 block shack. At the end of the year you have a house and no mortgage. Its what I did.

I made a Discord bot which used songlinks API 5 years ago! Unfortunately not used much and not maintained anymore.

I've downloaded the latest APK from apkmirror but the app is force closing at launch on stock. It was the same 2 years ago when I first tried, is it working for you? Do you have a suggestion?

EDIT: Ok so I've searched a bit on XDA and stumbled upon this: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev...

The latest beta doesn't work but the one before it does work.

Yeah the version I'm using is ~9 months old from the XDA link.

Even GCam 5 and 6 perform better

Thanks for sharing!

The Valve Index (by Steam) has been sold out in December after they announced Half-Life Alyx which is included with every Index. This is won't be the time everyone goes VR yet but the market is expanding.

Yeah, the market certainly is. And Valve making a Half-Life game for their system was probably the best move they could make as far as increasing demand goes too.

I'm so excited to read this!

Have you written about this (your diktat about clone()) somewhere? I'd be interested to read more.

FYI, I posted it at https://thenewwazoo.github.io/clone.html

I haven't, but maybe I will today.

> They store complete version history with each keystroke of a document.

I would expect them to only store a diff between each version instead of storing the whole thing. Couldn't find much about this after a quick search.

I would add the one I usually use "Je t'en prie".

> Will miss iTerm.

I may be missing your point, but if you enjoyed the iTerm hotkey feature on OSX you should take a look at Guake[0] which is available on most linux distros.

I will miss iTerm as well, but I'm not worried. I feel fairly secure in the knowledge that there's lots of terminal goodies in the Linux userland that do the same things iTerm does.

Ooo - awesome, thank you. I will check it out.

Maybe Windows?

WSL for Windows with Ubuntu works... okay. I think they're totally on the right track, but it's still not smooth. I get terminal emulation problems a lot, and the weird display of the filesystem and the file corruption issues plague me.

I think the thing that most attracted me to the Mac ecosystem (for a long time) was the underlying shell (I do mainly data science, security and shell / sysadmin style work). Now that Windows is headed in this direction...

For all of these - I really wish for a faster video card in all of them. I like to run two P2715Q Dell 4k monitors for my work (thinking about the newer 34" ones), and all of these machines lag somewhat with that. (No, I haven't tried the EGPU for the Mac yet).
