Long term computer programmer, making my own library. American based. Far left politically. Politics centered around promoting use of paper ballots. Follows news about environmental collapse, political corruption in my country, human rights, science and tech.

  • why do some YouTube videos on lemmy have a thumbnail, while some don't?

  • Too much patriotism is because too little of everything else

  • Do you think the mostly limited range of political views is a strength or a weakness of Lemmy? (For example, in terms of attracting new users.)

  • Maybe lemmy will grow over time to include more types of people.

    Social unrest may evolve this network faster than expected, in particular ways that are not foreseen. So, in my mind there are two paths for lemmy. A stable growth or chaotic .

    Edit : unrest in any country that has a lot of lemmy users if alternative social networks clamp down or are unsafe to use

  • I spent a lot of time using msdn Microsoft docs for windows and activex c++ back in the day. Faintly envious there are videos in the c# docs.

    I changed tech stacks, but comments and examples are awesome to use inside docs. Usually in the php, it’s the comments in the docs that are the best help, and example code and work around can be found there.

    But most php depends on the tens of thousands of projects and libraries made others: so the docs one needs is scattered in the dependencies. Some who have good docs (laravel) and some that have no docs , in which case a debugger is best way to learn.

  • There is too much blame to go around, and not enough people and orgs wanting to acknowledge blame.

    Trump did not become a household name randomly. He was helped and aided by many. And I have noticed hundreds of times how the main stream media enabled his word salad and gave it meaning and power. In real life, not many people listen to blathering hateful idiots.

  • I’m not well versed in the saints, but I think this is a better origin story than most.

    All we need is a tearful prayer, with a vow towards some further action: even if it’s just in a cell for the rest of his life.

    And then he is on the same level, in my opinion, of some medieval saints I know a little about.

    Could easily be a saint for denied claims and other obstacles in healing.

  • I think this is like a parallel situation as seen in the Reddit ceo driving migration to lemmy.

    The wp meltdown was destructive and healthy at the same time. A minority of wp users will look into alternatives, which will help make those better to use because the devs get more support, and/or the alternative communities and ecosystems start to grow

  • When I was learning to program in the 1990s, at university, it was easy to get good advice and learning from the printed word: both in books and on websites. I think if I had to start learning all over again, and not be in a good school, it would be very hard for me to do as well.

    Today there is too much advice, too many influencers who recently learned whatever they are peddling, too much AI, too many fields of tech.

    I think the best way to learn now is how many of us learned decades earlier; use a list of books that are vetted by many ( can find lists here and there, saw one in GitHub last year). And while reading the books read the documentation even if they are gaps in one’s knowledge and the docs are badly written.

    I don’t think one needs recent books for many concepts and basics. The wheel has been reinvented many times in the hundreds of tech stacks in use today. And the same concepts will be easy enough to learn in newer docs once a technology and programming set of tools is invested into by the learner.

    As for new software engineering ideas and architecture concepts: usually these are reiterated from earlier ideas and often marketed for profit. So older architecture books, refined by several editions, are still best.

  • Most of these are downloaded for pipeline tests and auto builds. And because most of the web does run on php, and more sites will be transitioning to modern tooling: this number will probably double and triple soonish ( few months or years).

    That said, php sucks. At this point though it’s more like a critical technology rather than the poster child of bad life choices

  • I grew up near the Appalachian segment of the USA southeast. This was an oft repeated phrase then.

    I did not even think about it while I read the comic. But methinks it’s going away in style. Everyone speaks high English here.

  • A lot of the bugs were after a copy paste, and error detection. I had been using it for years on the same projects, and it worked pretty good. But the new issues were seen first this year.

    I went over to their youtrack, read other people’s comments and many had rolled back their version to the last release last year. So I did it too.

    Then, after the second version this year someone said some of the new issues were still not fixed.

    I’ll probably try it again today.
