Nothing new but you can configure Claude Code to use GPT5 as its LLM model: https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/tutorials/claude_responses_api
JIRA and its interface is incredibly slow in comparison. An extra 30-60 seconds per task to create assign and organize
I question the legitimacy of the ICC, considering their impartiality and failure to take action against Hamas

So many ultrabooks and even some high-end productivity laptops cap out at 32GB of soldered RAM, while portable gaming devices are packing 64GB of upgradeable RAM. I feel like that dam is going to break soon.

Ubuntu and Pop!_OS upgrades fried my systems in the past, making me think Linux as a desktop OS wasn't worth so much wasted energy.

There are more stable distros!

It is built to fully support asynchronous endpoints, and uses pydantic models for validation and parsing - lightweight and nicely fast

Second this, try to stand out in some way. I mostly receive floods of terrible resumes, spam and obvious LLM generated text.

The worst hire I made also had university credentials and apparently wasn't educated in how to deliver anything but academic noodling.

Coding nightmares! I get these too, when working too much. Perseverating on solving intractable problems that don't exist. Once solved it though, and woke up thrilled. That was a good work-night.
And RabbitMQ :S
I am using NGINX Unit with Django in a bunch of production workloads, with high traffic. Works really well!

The most time spent was building from source in Docker for ARM support and going down a rabbit hole of targeting the minor Python version that apt was installing on some Debians, w/o a virtual env, instead of the one it defaulted to.

I'm a fan. High performance, easily configurable ASGI server for so many flavors.

My legal first name is "E". Forms often require more characters. I just add more Es!

Never had a problem, even with three Es.

If you are spending time getting it to work, I'm not sure that's a bad thing. It makes you a better developer!
Re:KDE Plasma 6.0 Is Enabling Wayland by Default on Saturday November 11, 2023 @03:03PM (#38233970)
This is great. Running Wayland has only been getting better.

Hoping this transition to default will get the attention of developers at Zoom, and they can get screensharing to work in their native app without resorting to browser mode or some virtual camera hack. My biggest gripe for sure.

Re:Developers Guide to Moving to Denmark on Monday November 06, 2023 @04:06AM (#38160281)
Apparently if you decide to leave Denmark after 7 years as a tax resident, you may need to pay an exit tax, 'fraflytterskat' in Danish. I was surprised to hear about this. Have you heard of an exit tax, and is it something to also keep in mind for relocation?

> Exit taxation applies for individuals who have been considered as resident and tax treaty resident in Denmark, who are leaving Denmark with assets, including but not limited to shares, options, bonds, certain pension plans, certain property investments, etc.

> The rules apply to both Danish and foreign assets, shares, investment funds, financial contracts, deposit accounts, etc.

> If comprised by the exit tax rules, the assets, etc. comprised will be considered as realised on the date of departure, and the individual will be liable to pay the Danish tax due on this unrealised gain.

I too have seen this as a past entrepreneur in Canada. A lot of accountants are in on misrepresenting SR&ED tax credit applications and will attempt to find the "research" in regular IT work. They will even do the technical writing and filing work for free, while taking a commission of the take when the tax credits roll in (free money). There is a whole segment of startups propped up by SR&ED. I've seen many doing innovative work with a sound business plan, using that money to get to profitability, and it's great they were able to get funding, but a lot of others milked the system fraudulently, using SR&ED consultants to continue to exist when they should have failed.
