"we need to let people go" basically.
It's a nice way of doing layoffs with financial incentives and generally causes less questions during further job interviews.

It would be open to a department (say), allowing people to "leave on good terms" with a bit of extra cash.
Once the voluntary redundancies have been sorted out, mandatory redundancies or layoffs would then be processed to meet whatever target

A LiveUSB that has memory checking, storage checking, gpu checking along with stress testing of these would be amazing.
Building a new PC? Slap in the liveUSB, check all the components then stress test soak it to confirm its all good

I've heard rumours that Kitten Space Agency (the spiritual successor to Kerbal Space Program, considering KSP2 is dead on arrival) will support multiple monitors.
I know it has multiplayer baked in at every step of the development (even if it won't be available on release). So maybe I'm getting my wires crossed between multimonitor and features of the multiplayer that sound like they would be great for multi monitor (IE, someone plays as ground control)

My dad loves pork pies in a sandwich wrap.
Tortilla, bit of cheese, salad and branston pickle, quarter a pork pie and wrap it up

Unless there is some new revolutionary tech, things like the ESP32 have no driving factor to become obsolete.
If you are relying on BT/WiFi/LoRa then there is a possibility of RF frequency regulations changing.

But it is already an overpowered device for the majority of its applications and it's cheap

\ instead of / is really annoying.
I recently had to do a template variable replace is batch, resulting in a JSON config file for another program.
A bunch of paths and stuff. And the variables I was substituting in were also used in batch cmds.
It was a pain figuring out when and where to escape or not-escape backslashes.

How is funding? (self.meta)
submitted 1 month ago by towerful to c/meta
 

I've been here a while, and I appreciate the community and the defed/hiding list.
I also know programming.dev contributes to upstream Lemmy repos.

I saw another post about another instances funding.
Which reminded me....

Is programming.dev on track for funding?
Need some more donations?
Is there a runway?
