Apply your full knowledge and experience, be vocal, participating and they think you're intimidating.
Compensate/dilute with jokes, "I don't know", "how do I ?" and they think you're not even worthy of interaction.
Software engineering as a woman.
My favorite track to wash the dishes to (it takes some time). Bluetooth headphones, thick rubber gloves and there we go.
Upgrading my (headless) server and for some reason the package management system decided I need Emacs installed and proceeded compiling it.
Why does gnu image manipulation program insist on having a file type association with pdfs...
He was giving me mixed signals - adding them together and dividing by their count.
At 10yo I barely spoke one language. My 10yo daughter speaks three (swedish, english, russian) fluently and can write them too.
Just being a proud mommy here.
"..., allowing future extensions." closes the tab
In today's "experiments that nobody asked for" I upgraded a 2013 9front install all the way to latest. Some troubles on the way but they could be solved. If I knew exactly what I was doing (wrong) it would probably take just a single reboot in total.
Anyway, in the end it all worked.
I use VueScan with Epson V600 to scan my negatives, but since I do that on NixOS, it involved a lot of trouble - the software is closed source and requires 3rd party (Epson) drivers/firmware to do anything. What's worse, it loads drivers during runtime, from static paths that are based on what scanner one is using. After a lot of fiddling with hacks and workarounds I found one that doesn't wake me up at night in horror: patching a string in the binary with dd and running it through a wrapper that symlinks the required extra files properly in an fhs sandbox.
