Quick way to tell: when it was functioning, did it appear as a 6, or a 12 TB drive? If it appeared as 12, that means you were using RAID 0.

Is it RAID0, or RAID1? If it’s the former, you’re fucked. No problem if RAID1.

'Cause I’m drunk on a Thursday (Friday very early in the morning), and I’ve lost control of my life.

I love this book! I first read it, I don’t know, maybe 20 years ago, back when Pargrin (he went by David Wong then) posted one chapter of it at a time on his website. A few years after he got it published, Don Coscarelli (director; does mostly indie movies including the “Phantasm” series) read the book, flipped out about it, and decided to buy the rights to the story and make it into a movie. It’s a pretty great adaptation, too! I’d rate it as mostly faithful to the source material. It’s got Paul Giamatti, Clancy Brown, and Doug Jones in it.

Anyway, if you like JDATE, you should check out Coscarelli’s movie of the same name. And also read the rest of the books in the series (book 4 was published about a year ago). And if you like the movie, you should also check out another Coscarelli classic, “Bubba Ho-Tep”, starring Bruce Campbell as Elvis.

smh Man should’ve watched Key & Peele.

WTF is up with all the NSFW tags, and the massive ChatGPT-like spam?

I mean, you can. ChatGPT hasn’t steered me far wrong yet, though, and I’ve used it quite a lot over the past 4 months or so. It’s really quite good.

I hate the official python documentation. I often find what I’m looking for much quicker just by asking ChatGPT. You can even ask it to pretend it’s William Shatner while explaining how to use a given function. So that’s fun.

So it’s just gonna be you and 2 other people clinging onto the delusional belief that it’s still the 1980s?

Hah! Bet that’ll go over a treat with that crowd.

I mean, I’m a fuckin’ weirdo who loves both heat and humidity. So I’m not really the target audience for that particular argument. But I get that I’m a weirdo, and most people don’t like living in the desert or a swamp. Personally, I’m much more turned off by their politics than I am their weather.

Gotta go with what works for you. But as a fellow cishet middle-aged white engineer, you could not pay me enough money for me to want to move to Texas. Or Florida. Or most of the middle of the country. If I were in your shoes, I’d be out as soon as I had the means to leave.

And how did you come to that conclusion?

Yes, I got diagnosed with ADHD as a child, but I don’t get why you would think that’s necessary to comment on.

I wasn’t commenting on your ADHD. I was commenting on the fact that you said “Try sitting still and reading a book for more than 10 minutes, and you will find that it can be exhausting to do.”, and pointing out that being exhausted after reading for 10 minutes is not normal. If you meant to imply that activities that are purely mentally focused can be draining, well, I agree. But you didn’t do a very good job of conveying that with the sentence you chose, so your meaning wasn’t clear to me.

I don’t think it’s fair to compare states in 50 years like this without mentioning the time lost from school and research + the better overall life quality that comes with more money.

Why not? All work is trading parts of yourself in exchange for money. Sometimes, that part of yourself is your mental focus, sometimes your physical health. I am well aware that people in STEM-type jobs have an increased incidence of depression and burnout. Hell, I stopped working for 5 years because I was depressed and burnt out.

But you know what? I was able to stop working for that long because I made a really good salary before leaving the workforce. And what I did was in no way more difficult than someone loading boxes into trucks in a hot warehouse, or remaining focused on traffic conditions for several hours per day then interspersing that with delivering those same packages to people’s homes and offices.

So, my job wasn’t harder, but it paid better. My back isn’t sore, but my mental health took a toll. The reality is, everybody suffers. And even if the UPS delivery guy got paid twice what I made, I still wouldn’t pick that job because my chosen field is easier and still pays pretty well.

So I’m not stressed in the slightest that they potentially got a bump (it still has to pass a vote). Good for them. They deserve it.

Bro. I’m an engineer. Have been for more than 20 years. This guy, talking about how his job is harder than someone who delivers packages for 10 hours a day is fucking lying. Either that, or he’s completely divorced from reality.

Yes, you need more schooling, and yes, solving puzzles all day is mentally draining. But you know what? I’ll take being mentally drained over having my body completely fall apart by 50 because of the toll my job took on it. Being an engineer is in no way harder than any blue collar job I’ve ever seen.

Edit: And also, if you’re mentally exhausted after reading for 10 minutes… that’s not normal. Have you been tested for things like dyslexia? Could be that you have some kind of processing disorder that makes it difficult to read.

To get a base salary of $170k you know you need to work hard as an Engineer, this sucks.

LOL - this motherfucker talkin about hard work. You actually think sitting in an office for 8 hours a day is working harder than the guy delivering packages? GTFO with that shit.

Your variable myVar doesn’t get defined until fetch receives the results, but fetch is an asychronous function, so console.log runs before myVar is defined.

If you want to wait for the results of an asynchronous function before proceeding with execution, you need to use the await keyword:

let myVar = await fetch("myFile.json").then(res => res.json());

console.log(myVar);

I actually have Fedora installed on my desktop, and Pop_OS installed on my laptop! I’ve always been a big fan of the RedHat way of doing things (Yum / DNF & RPMs, the fs organization, etc), but I’ve gotta say, I really prefer the Pop!_OS user experience when I’m in the GUI.

As others have said, it probably doesn’t matter which one you use if your primary purpose is gaming. They’ll both run Steam’s proton engine just fine. If you’re looking for COD, specifically, you’re likely going to run into some issues; ProtonDB says that support for those games is not perfect. But a lot of games will work just as well on linux as they do on Windows with it.

Another +1 for Arris. It’s been a rock-solid workhorse. I’m a big fan of them.
