  • why hard exit editor? Nano say at bottom.

    Jump

  • When I was first learning how to code I was working on some beginner project and couldn't figure it out. I asked a friend who knew a few things what I was doing wrong and he hopped on my computer, fixed the code then opened it in vim and told me my project wasn't working because of whatever text editor I was using (I think sublime). So for like a year I hardly learned how to code but I got pretty dang good with vim.

  • Holy shit I've never heard of this but that's awesome. I would love to see that nowadays

  • What is something you achieved this year that you're proud of?

    Jump

  • I got a lot better at guitar and even recorded a song.

    It's been a goal of mine for a while to keep up with practicing and get good at fingerpicking. Just for myself, more of a therapy than anything. I did pretty good with it this year.

  • My fucking big goofy dumball of a dog will continuously get sticks stuck in his mouth from trying to chew of them vertical instead of horizontal and its bad. He'll walk up all happy and just drip blood on my lap with his mouth stuck open. One time we came inside and didn't realize until like 30 minutes later that he had a big twig stuck in there, he was happy as can be .

    I love that dog and he loves sticks

  • DAE in their 30s/40s/50s not really feel like an adult?

    Jump

  • I'm almost 30 and just starting to feel like a kid.

    I've had to be an adult since I was 10 but getting sober and having my first kid really brought me back to life. We play with a hotwheels track that we call car thing, we wrestle everyday, we have jam sessions where we switch instruments so for half of it I'm playing a tiny piano. When I buy clothes I let him help me pick stuff out and most of it's from thrift stores so my outfits have gotten very funky.

    He also makes doing adult things more fun, we do everything together so he helps me with house work. There's the shark vacuum, the carpet cleaner turns the floor into lava, laundry basketball, we cook dinner together. My favorite is making pizza dough with him, it takes longer to clean up than it does to make the pizza but it's a blast.

  • U.S. Tech Layoffs Hit Two-Decade High in October

    Jump

  • They tried making us come in one day a month so me and the other developers just wouldn't work when we were in the office while we were "planning". Then it became "we need the day before to plan what we're going to talk about tomorrow" and "we take the day after an office visit to go over what we talked about". So 3 days out of the month where nothing got done and it made enough of a difference the office days lasted maybe 3 or 4 months before they fizzled out

  • What do all you coders actually do?

    Jump

  • I have never just clicked around in a gui unless its me testing something I'm building. I would suggest finding some better tutorials.

    Today I added a few features and fixed a couple bugs.

    We have a screen where users can basically click through a list of contacts to send out emails. The list is system generated, and sometimes users want the email to go out to other contacts not on the list. So I added a section to the screen with a typeahead input box to search through all the companies in our system. Once the user selects the company it has to be broken down by branch (region) so I had to build out a small api for getting the company branches and filtering by some criteria to see if they're even eligible to receive these types of email, so with that data returned I generated a drop down to select the branch, from there another api call to generate a list of checkboxes for each contact at the selected branch. Then I had to build out a mysql table to store the additional contacts to email and work that logic into the code that sends out those types of emails.

    Right there you have perl, mysql, html, CSS and JS.

    Another thing that everyone's gonna lose it for when it goes live but took me no more than an hour. A lot of our accounting pages are historical reports, there's only a few that are updated in realtime, and almost all of them were super slow to load because of all the heavy calculations. I added a couple tables and a cron job to run daily and populate them. So now instead of doing calculations on the fly those pages just pull the data from the db and load instantly.

  • What do you call these?

    Jump

  • Usually charger brick or just brick

  • Guys where did I put my wallet

    Jump

  • My son once took all the cards our of my wallet and put them in the printer/scanner that we never use. I only found out 2 years later when I finally went to print something and there was a jam, opened the scanner lid to get inside and boom.

    Could be there.

  • Imagine you have infinite dollars backing you. What's the thing you'd want to pursue just because it's something you'd like to do with your life?

    Jump

  • I always wanted to have a farm and be well off enough that I could take a good portion of the yield and just give it out in my old neighborhood.

    Kids there are starving, most of them have never seen an eggplant, it's cheap ultraprocessed food or half moldy apples from the food banks.

    I know there's a lot of other stuff too, but I think food education is pretty important, most of the adults I knew didn't know how to cook resulting in everyone eating worse for more money, thinking they couldn't afford to eat any healthier.

    Although at this point my old neighborhood has been gentrified and filled with $3000/m studio apartments. I'd probably also buy out the neighborhood and give it back to everyone who lived there 10 years ago.

  • anywhere to buy a cheap chromebook battery without much charge left? (I'm broke in canada)

  • A quick search on eBay for "chromebook gm02xl battery" shows me a ton of battery for under $20 with shipping, saw one for $12 with free shipping.

  • How big is your media library?

    Jump

  • ~3tb of a jumbled disgusting mess of miscellaneous files. Somehow it all works on jellyfin though.

    I'd be down to try something new if you do end up releasing something. Jellyfin works just fine but I'm not in love with it.

  • Production breaking driven developer

    Jump

  • My job used to outsource a bunch of dev work to another company and oh boy did those people love their tests. I don't get it. In my case they weren't even using our actual database to pull data from. They had a bunch of fixture files with generic data that they would use to make a temporary sqlite db for the tests. All of the test ran perfectly with that data, not so much with the actual data. The code is there, can't you just read it and know what will happen?

    When I write something I'm never not building it and at least checking that it works and trying to break it.

  • This might be fake, but I have a neighbor like this.

    She's been freaking out about groceries, the price of her meds going up, now losing her insurance.

    I've helped her out a lot more than any orange has the last few months, yet she still spouts about how great he is. Although now with much less enthusiasm, and if you don't put trumps name in the conversation she sort of comes back to reality a little and can realize that a bill gutting social safety nets to give the 1% a huge tax cut isn't a fair deal.

    It's a cult.

  • What are your advices to cool homes without AC ?

    Jump

  • I've been getting by just fine with a couple standing fans. I've had to turn the ACS on a couple times for my kids when I was around 110F

    Before going full blast AC in all the rooms I'll turn on the big Window unit in the living room and set up fans so it blows the cold air through the whole house (our house isn't big) and I find its a good middle ground. It cools down the rooms pretty well.
