  • The EU Moves To Kill Infinite Scrolling

    Jump

  • i personally have pushed back on every “infinite scrolling” feature request from product designers. first, you think you need it; you don’t. second, you think it’s just so nifty! it isn’t. oh is your content is dynamically generated? what was wrong with Reddit’s pager that launched that site into popularity?

    it’s unnecessary complexity that hides information from the user, makes API calls (which are, spoilers, paginated) more complicated, can cause the obvious memory/resource consumption issues, and just generally disempowers the user. which i guess on a social media app is the point. but totally counter to the goals of a fleet management system lol

  • VLAN’s and Subnets For Home Networks

    Jump

  • yeah i get that.

    generally most modern UIs are moving away from those reactive patterns (React, Svelte, etc) just cuz the composition can be optimized (Kotlin compiler plugin, shadow-DOM, etc), and a lot of people—myself included—find that declarative design easier to reason about. and yeah i guess i outed myself as an Android dev, but i can’t in good conscience recommend the node based Android XML UI lol (although that’s a different SDK).

    anyway, not to yuck your yum. i played around with JavaFX back in the day but never made anything to speak of. i’ll have to check out more of your blog!

    mad lad.

    what makes you snub Compose UI?

  • Rust Coreutils Continues Working Toward 100% GNU Compatibility, Proving Trolls Wrong

    Jump

  • i mean, how many realistically? how many systems are out there using non-LTS releases that would actually run into these edge cases? and auto-updating them in production without triggering the bug first? or maybe i’m a naive corpo

    Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps

    Jump

  • honestly, i 100% do not miss GUIs that hopefully do what you want them to do or have options grayed out or don’t include all the available options etc etc

    i do get burnout, and i suffer many of the same symptoms. but i have a solution that works for me: NixOS

    ok it does sound like i gave you more homework, but hear me out:

    • with NixOS and flakes you have a commit history for your lab services, all centralized in one place.
    • this can include as much documentation as you want: inline comments, commit messages, living documents in your repository, whatever
    • even services that only provide a Docker based solution can be encapsulated and run by Nix, including using an alternate runtime like podman or containerd
    • (this one will hammer me with downvotes but i genuinely do think that:) you can use an LLM agent like GitHub Copilot to get you started, learn the Nix language and ecosystem, and create Nix modules for things that need to be wrapped. i’ve been a software engineer for 15 years; i’ve got nothing to prove when it comes to making a working system. what i want is a working system.

  • Org Mode Syntax Is One of the Most Reasonable Markup Languages to Use for Text

    Jump

  • sorry it’s been a minute. i drank the emacs KoolAid because of posts like this years ago and happily switched back to Neovim after they added Lua config support

  • GNOME and Mozilla Discuss Proposal to Disable Middle Mouse Paste on Linux

    Jump

  • this feels like a breaking change akin to macOS changing the Command key to bringing up a start menu because it confuses Windows users. platforms have differences, and this one is actually so tiny and inconsequential it feels like any ameliorated confusion will be offset by confusion of people that rely on it and use it. is this really the barrier to adoption?

  • “Suggesting”

  • Running Python on Debian - is not so easy?

    Jump

  • other commenters have hinted at this, but the main point of most of the good advice is this: don’t use the system Python install (ie the one from apt) for development. uv is my go to, but the idea behind *conda, pyenv, asdf, etc is the same. the underlying OS shouldn’t be an issue; you should be able to ship the code between OSs and build just fine, ideally.

  • How to navigate around AI written recipes online

    Jump

  • generally speaking, i think it’s good practice to find several recipes and compare and contrast them. you’ll find opinions and get a sense for what the writer’s priorities are (quick, fewer dishes, what they usually have in the pantry, etc) and can figure out which writer has similar priorities to you. or just synthesize a recipe from those sources. this does require some technical know-how, but i think this is a good skill to have.

  • Overheating issues & drivers on NixOS.

    Jump

  • the first issue is familiar to me as my first laptop had this issue, while running Windows XP. the fans were going out and simply couldn’t move enough heat. the solution then that mostly worked was one of those laptop stands with fans built in. it worked most of the time, but a real solution might mean cleaning out the chassis and maybe replacing the fans.

    for the second, i didn’t really have trouble setting up the Nvidia drivers just following the docs. sorry if that isn’t helpful; i’m stuck with Nvidia for my ML/CUDA stuff.

  • what do y'all use for CI/CD?

    Jump

  • nice. simple and modular i like. i deal with far too many “one stop shops” at work to bring that home

  • what do y'all use for CI/CD?

    Jump

  • we use Jenkins + a bespoke wrapper at work. thats left a bad taste in my mouth enough to avoid Jenkins altogether

  • what do y'all use for CI/CD?

    Jump

  • this is my experience as well. we have a bespoke wrapper around Jenkins, and the more we can test locally the less time we have to spend waiting for the system to fail. it’s one of the reasons i’ve adopted just to script things locally as if it was CI.

  • you’re right. i just expected it to be an increase 😅

  • i honestly didn’t look that close, obviously haha

    but yeah, i’ve been kinda looking for a reason to de-Microsoft my stuff

  • what do y'all use for CI/CD?

    Jump

  • good lead. it’s just the one project for now, and to my surprise it’s actually a dependency for the ollama-rs project, so i feel somewhat obligated to keep it stable.
