i want to make a paid subscription service for products that can replace google's and are privacy-respecting. primarily email and messaging apps. all with optional e2e. cross platform, open source, all that good stuff.

after that, maybe add alternatives to google docs, or release a first party phone that runs a mobile os that runs lineage or something.

TL;DR Does MacBooks degrade faster for developers due to poor thermals?

I’m developing on a 15” MacBook Pro for work. I got it new last year. Now I’m experiencing that it crashes when punishing my CPU with my hardly CPU optimized scripts.

My thought that the poor thermals MacBooks has could be the reason. I mean, Macs are sort of known for their reliability, however I punish my CPU a lot more for many more hours, every single day than the average MacBook user.

Could the instability really be due to a fact that last gen 15” MacBook Pros have poor thermals, thus bad design for programmers, making the CPU unstable due to degradation?

Internship/Career Question

I was able to get a referral for a software engineering internship at a company I like this summer. This will be my first “real-life” internship and I’m super excited.

The referral ended up getting me an interview with the company’s “Principal Talent Attraction Consultant”.

What show I expect for this meeting? Is it possible that there is a whiteboarding part of this interview? Or would it be more general?

Lmk if I’m being too vague. Thanks guys!

I got to say I get a good kick out of devRant randomly crashing when I tap to view a post. It’s like a meta joke or something.

Hi guys! My name is Karina, I am a graphic designer from Ukraine. I want to show you my work about gopher) My husband is a golang developer and my little hobby of making him T-shirts with gophers has grown into the fact that I now draw them. Do you like my work?

So I’m like 90% certain 10% of my app should be event sourced, and the other 90% CRUD based (but event driven).

However after trying to tackle this from a variety of angles I’m 100% ready to jump off a building

So I’m taking a break and eating a fucking donut

It's the kind of evening where I'll look into niche programming languages but never make anything with them.

Are avatars fat shaming? All the avatars on devrant are of skinny people.

I want me a fatavar to reflect my current status.

Zoom is using <10% CPU on Windows and 125% CPU on Linux. Why :/
