Any pronouns. 33.

Professional developer and amateur gardener located near Atlanta, GA in the USA.

I'm using a new phone keyboard, please forgive typos.

  • I think software development is a good career, but game development specifically is certainly not. It's a fine hobby though. Also, learning development through a hobby is fine.

  • I took it as meaning sleep for a number of seconds equal to half the value you're sorting. So like f "(( $1 / 2 ))" & or however math works in bash, I always forget.

  • I remember seeing discussions about this at the time, it would also sometimes fail with a very large number of 1s and a single 2.

  • Options for a cheap file server, where to begin?

    Jump

  • I don't have any concerns, I guess I'm just curious if there is any sort of advice folks with they had after the first time they did something similar.

  • Options for a cheap file server, where to begin?

    Jump

  • I think I may have made myself seem like more of a novice than I intended. I know a server is a computer. I run Linux on multiple devices and I've built multiple daily use/gaming computers. I only meant I haven't had experience with what sort of things to shop for for a file storage server.

  • What 2fa Authenticator should I use?

    Jump

  • I use 1password. It's fine. I haven't tried much other stuff, but it works well, but I don't think there is a free option so it might not be a good pick. There is also Google Authenticator which works fine and is free.

  • This is a "not the onion" level headline, holy shit

  • PixelFed has increased the Fediverse's monthly active users by over 40% in the last few weeks, how do we feel?

    Jump

  • I find it sort of shocking that you didn't think people who use different types of social media would be swayed by non-micro blogging specific platforms. Nobody wants to join the fediverse because it's the fediverse. They want to join something that's fun and similar to what they're used to.

    Micro blogging sucks. I hate it. I've always hated Twitter and none of that hate has come from anything related to who has owned it or their policies. I've just genuinely never felt a desire to communicate with 280 characters (historically 140). The discussion threads are also garbage and all over the place. Why would someone who is used to platforms like Reddit or Instagram want to use Mastodon?

    Has PixelFed done something different that Mastodon hasn't?

    Yes, it's done "not be a micro blogging platform".

    I'm aware Mastodon doesn't always have the same character limits that Twitter does, but that's apart from the point.

  • About as open source as a binary blob without the training data

  • Meta's "open source AI" ad campaign is so frustrating.

  • .DS_Store

  • As you should. Because the alternative is just putting it on some team wiki page where they'll just copy and paste it to their local stuff anyways. It just saves everyone time.

  • Sure, fail the entire build because of a formatting problem. Hey, wouldn't it be cool if we could stop that from happening? I don't know, maybe by also adding in IDE specific formatting files? No? Oh. I wasn't aware we could only have formatting files OR a CI format checker. 🙄

    None of these things come at the expense of others. You can do both. Even if it's part of the local build process I'd much rather know in my editor than on the terminal. And you may say "just have everyone do the same setup" to which I'd wonder what sort of magical land you live in where everyone always follows those rules and/or you can get buy in from management to spend that much time bike shedding and why you'd prefer either of them to just adding the damn file to version control to avoid it entirely.

  • Linting rules and scripts should never live in an IDE-specific directory. I should not need to know your IDE configuration to run scripts and lint my files.

    This is what I'm getting at with it being cargo culty. You can have generic scripts and also IDE specific run configurations too.

    Jump

  • If your whole team uses the same IDE, what's wrong with commiting things like run configurations and code styles? I agree in general, but a wholesale ban on it is very cargo culty to me. There can be legitimate times to do it.

  • This reminds me of thos story where our chemistry teacher was talking about some chemical that was dangerous (I genuinely don't remember what) and said X amount could probably blow up the classroom. It was fascinating. One kid was excited (as anyone would be) and was just sort of like "no way! That's cool!" nothing really suspicious, but then she got weird and said she'd probably have to report him. Idk if she actually did or anything. That teacher was sort of an ass and she also had a bone to pick with that kid for some reason.
