  • How I, a non-developer, read the tutorial you, a developer, wrote for me

  • Ugh, this is exactly how I feel when it comes to modding games.

    "You need RandomAndy's Live Framework (RALF) version 2.01b. Don't use 2.01c, it has issues, but some stuff is built for .c so make sure you check each component. Don't download it from the main site though - it comes packaged with YAMP4A (Yet Another Mod Pack for Armour) so you don't need to worry about it. Now to install my mod you need these three separate packages..."

    Christ, this cannot be worth it.

  • On the flipside I've encountered docs that expect the reader to already understand the functionality in order to be able to use the docs. They seem to exist solely as a reminder to those who already know.

    There's a reason I don't bother running my own mailservers anymore!

  • I hear that. I was refactoring a codebase and they used a special library for tooltips. There are two tool tips on the entire site and the library uses its own perverse syntax.

    I've never got into modern JS frameworks because they seem to be utterly insane. If you need all that to build a site, you need to work on your fundamentals.

  • Judge finds Trump violated law in firing inspectors general, but allows dismissal to stand

  • Why even bother hearing the case if you're not going to do anything about it regardless of the outcome? To waste everyone's time?

  • Elon Musk’s X calls for delay in Australia’s child social media ban citing ‘serious concerns’ about policy’s lawfulness

  • Who is still using fuckin' Twitter? Don't go to the nazi bar.

  • Some thoughts on programming 3 years into full time

    Jump

  • I generally have to look at the technical department's name badges as I don't deal with them often enough to recognise them by just their faces.

  • British devs

  • But cookies are a subset of biscuits...

  • Mastodon has a new plan to make money: Hosting and support services for the open social web

    Jump

  • I wish government organisations would host their own Mastodon servers. Get off Twitter.

  • Removed

    Is there a guide on how to install a minimalist version of Windows 11 or how to remove all of the MS junk?

    Jump

  • Arguably if you have to work this hard to get something usable out of Windows, why bother?

  • How to download Google Takeout zips?

    Jump

  • Unless they've changed it in the last month then it's 50 GB for zip.

  • RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine delusions—not science—steer CDC now, ex-director testifies

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm getting really tired of "no duh" headlines. Might as well say "Wallet inspector turns out to be random thief".

  • British TV Station to Air Marathon of Trump's Lies as He Visits UK

    Jump

  • I really wouldn't want to spend that much time listening to this embarrassment of a human being talk.

  • Donald Trump's approval rating crashes with Latino voters

    Jump

  • Does this demographic also have to be supervised at meal times lest they try to eat the cutlery?

  • British TV Station to Air Marathon of Trump's Lies as He Visits UK

    Jump

  • I wouldn't want to be the one having to compile that video.

  • Donald Trump says he is bringing $15bn lawsuit against New York Times

    Jump

  • A kajillion dollars, eh? Fucking idiot.

  • Who needs MongoDB when you have JSONB?

    Jump

  • I've used it for one small project and quite liked it. I struggle with the concepts behind relational databases and Mongo's approach was understandable for me.

  • gOS - The Google-focused Linux Distro (that wasn’t made by Google)

    Jump

  • That didn't happen until 2013.

  • 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using

    Jump

  • I have five users, max, and barely any files. I don't know which one Nextcloud AIO uses and I don't care. There's no wrong answer for such a small deployment. It uses whatever database Nextcloud felt was sensible as the default. They know more about picking the right tool for their requirements than I do.

    If I'm building something for myself, then I care.
