  • For me it all depends on how often a project changes. If it's constantly in flux, I don't bother remembering any of it because I might not be the last one who touched it. The more you try to remember everything, the more wrong you become due to the successive work of your coworkers.

  • There are so many ways to be a hero for those around you. Why end your life when you could dedicate your life to help those in need? When you feel at your lowest, remember that there is someone, right now, who wants to know and believe in you and who hopes that you could do your very best to help them and others.

    This is intended to be motivating. Instead of leaving a hole in the world, you could become a role model for others.

  • It happened to a friend who wasn't passing in the proper types into their stored procedures, all strings, and "null" (not case sensitive) conflicted with actual null values. Everything in the web interface were strings, and so was null.

    For some people it takes this mistake before they learn to always care about the data types you're passing in.

  • It was over a matter of honor, of course.

  • Great list! I would just add The Majority Report if you're looking to learn more about politics while also trying to understand what is happening today. They do a ~2.5-hour live show every weekday which includes a quick overview of the latest headlines for today, an interview of someone with knowledge about some politics-related topic, and then an hour of mostly right wing videos that they discuss, argue with, and vent about.

    I love it for how informative it is and for keeping me sane.

  • I love melodysheep. The music is very good.

  • I love the async closure update and the if-let scoping fix.

  • That's an interesting take. I didn't know that the tool screen even existed, so I had no idea that it would be nice to have in my toolbelt for future needs. A README also helps those that may already know a lot about screen and want to know the differences between screen and their implementation.

    There is nothing better in open source than a thorough, well-written README at the root of the project. Wanting others who don't understand the source of the inspiration to be completely clueless is unfriendly (at best).

  • The README helped a lot, thanks. Just wanted to point out a minor typo, I think the second word under the "Client" section is meant to be the word "client".

  • Thanks for the explanation and README. I'll check it out.

  • I don't know anything about screen. I think it would be great if you included a nice README.md file in the root of your repo for explaining what screen is and what your repo does both differently and the same. Please let me know if you do that. I'll come and check out the repo at that point - kinda hard for me to want to jump directly into the code at the moment.

  • I've had mine on vibrate for years. Texting doesn't trigger it, only calls. It's been great. I look at my phone only when I'm ready to look at it.

  • I prefer to just throw the state into a database. Each table has their own "repository" type that knows how to save/load models and then I have "manager" types that use "repository" types to compose larger, feature-specific domain models.

    I usually just use Sqlite for it's simplicity but I'm not opposed to Postgres via Docker.

  • When your management judges teams by lines-of-code written.

  • I'm surprised this doesn't already exist.

  • After many years of using SO, I've started using ChatGPT for all of my programming questions and have not looked back once. For my usual "I know X is possible, but how do I do that in Y language" questions, it's been a dream using ChatGPT.
