The community edition is open source, the Enterprise edition is not.

I host my own gitlab-ce instance in docker which works well. I mainly needed a web UI for git and I track issues with it. I think there are boards or at least free plugins for the community version, but I do not use them. You can version your documentation in .md files too. Not sure if it can substitute Jira for you, but you mentioned Bugzilla and I like gitlab a lot more.

Just make sure to update the container regularly, you can’t make big version jumps without the intermediate updates.

I think you can combine it with OpenProject if you need more project planning.

Not very intimidating, as long as they keep on fucking.

You are aware that the impossible sections were on purpose to sell hint books and to make money with the telephone hintline which one could call being stuck?

The shower head in the picture is a bit unusual because of the two screws on the right where you can adjust the head. If you loosen the one next to the wall the shower head tilts down and faces the wall (which is nice if warm water takes a while and you don’t like a cold shower) and with the other one you could make it spray the opposite wall. So it’s pretty versatile. (Or annoying if the screws can’t be tightened enough)

I’m curious. I’ve seen this exact type of shower (including the taps) only in Australia so far. Is it a common type in other countries too?

Came here to say, that I came here to say this, too.

In short: it’s always like this, sometimes more, sometimes less. And guess what: it’s the main part of the job. As a developer you have to understand what the customer (your boss) needs (sometimes not what they say they want) and to figure out how to do that by yourself. It’s nice to have colleagues you can ask, but it’s like on stackoverflow. The accepted answer is not necessarily the right or good one. Often you have to work with bad documented legacy artifacts (code, api) and figure out what they do. Also the tech changes, you have to constantly keep up with changes and what was great years ago may now be outdated. My advice:

• Do not start coding until you are sure you understood what is to be done.
• if there is no user story to describe the task write it yourself
• write good tests for your code. It’s an art. While thinking about corner cases you often find questions you did not think about at first
• if you don’t know how to do it ask people around you, browse the web, read books. Develop the skills to figure stuff out. Most of the time noone knows the correct answer. It’s your job to find it.
• do code reviews with others, usually both benefit from it
• write clean code

If you don’t like your working environment then change it. Especially when you think you can’t learn anything new there or it is no fun to work there. Go to meetings in your area (meetup or so) or online to meet other developers and ask them about their job. You get a feeling about what is considered a good job in your area. Good developers will always find a good job. Be one of them. As long as you think you’re a god who can code anything, that’s probably not the case. ;-) The best you can achieve is to be an expert in a very narrow field and to be good in some others.

I found Waldo.

They insert sleep(1) and print statements. No shit. I had to fix this in two projects. One was a complete rewrite.

Considering what you wrote that’s probably a great idea.

Why would they use bitcoins to pay for the stream? If it’s already bitcoin why bother?

The shoes…

It’s illegal in the EU, so probably not there.

I have never ever heard of a game coming with a help hotline. And I played a lot of games in that time. TIL that

one classic example is the game “The Legend of Zelda” for the NES. The game contained cryptic puzzles and secrets that were not easily solvable. Nintendo provided a hotline, called the Nintendo Power Line, where players could call in for tips, tricks, and solutions. Calls to the hotline were not free, creating an additional revenue source for the company.

with Lemmy and Mastodon the opensource community has a place to really try itself out

Sorry, I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Yes, it has.

I bought NMS on release, even got a new PC for it and man was I disappointed by the missing content. Worse, after every time I tried to get back into it with some update my last efforts were broken. My base was broken or my home planet changed in a bad way or suddenly I had to manage a colony which I did not enjoy or my ship got lost due to a glitchy starbase. Every new patch I’m reminded of that and now I don’t bother to start it any more. I hope y’all have so much more fun with it than I had.

Yes. I really don’t think it’s an effort really. I mean I just press register and enter [email protected]. This takes a minute. It’s not that I have to create a new emailaccount or something. And I can even remember them, because the names follow a pattern. As I said it all goes in a single catch-all inbox where I can easily filter by adress. And if I get spam on such an adress they either got hacked or sold my data. Origin for example leaked my email adress for Dragon Age. I also give out unique emailadresses everywhere I need to give one. I got spam on an email I gave exclusively to an ebook distributor. When this happens I just block this adress. I do this because it’s no effort at all. If we meet I could say to you: my email is [email protected] and you get out your phone, send me an email and I recieve it. No work at all on my side.
