How not to be clever (for your own good) when :

  • Always start with a simple solution.
  • Prefer simple solutions over the clever and fancy.
  • Proceed in small steps.
  • Change one thing at a time.
  • Don't future-proof.
  • Commit often.
  • Fail fast.
  • Prefer boring technologies.
  • Better repeat yourself than create unnecessary dependencies.
  • Get rid of dead code ASAP.
  • Make things that are hard to misuse.
  • If it doesn't have tests, it probably has bugs.

@tymwol no no no! do a for_each loop over terraform modules for resources that all have their own specifics and then shit gets too complicated and people do -target apply and your whole IAC is broken.

speaking for a friend that have to clean up this mess.

Node.js 20.13 brought great improvements. My highlights:

► Watch mode is considered stable now
► The util.styleText now accepts an array of modifiers

Of course, I have articles about both of those features! I just updated both of them to reflect new announcements.

Today's post discusses moving from imperative while and for loops to declarative collection functions like map and filter.

Thanks to a user on Mastodon @glitchcake, there is a programming language known as Emojicode https://www.emojicode.org

Please note, I find this to be the only valid reason to ever use emoji—ever.

@SergKoren

I’m not a programmer, but if I ever learned to code, I should start with this language

SergKoren,
@SergKoren@writing.exchange avatar

@AccordionBruce Actually, no. You shouldn’t. It’s not a user-friendly language.

One thing I liked about Scala was the ability to work fairly seamlessly with possible nulls using map, flatMap, orElse, getOrElse and so on....

My first impressions are that it's not so smooth in typescript out of the box to work with optionals.

Hopefully I'm just missing a few key concepts.

This is a niche one but it might help someone in the future:

How to include multiple directories from different places in the file system hierarchy in an archive without including the whole directory structure for any of them.

https://codeberg.org/aral/gists/src/branch/main/how-to-include-multiple-directories-from-different-places-in-the-file-system-hierarchy-in-an-archive-without-including-the-whole-directory-structure-for-any-of-them.md

TL; DR: use symlinks.

@aral can node tar not create an archive in multiple steps?
with normal tar, i'd just create an archive and add the first files, and then just append the other files to the archive with a tar command with different working directory

Direktory like:

.  
├── file1.txt  
├── file2.txt  
└── folder  
 └── file3.txt

Commands:
tar cf archive.tar file{1,2}.txt
tar rf archive.tar -C folder file3.txt

Creates an archive like:
$ tar tf archive.tar
file1.txt
file2.txt
file3.txt

aral,

@4censord It can but I’m not sure how I’d do that and keep a stream open to the browser (I’m streaming the archive to the HTTP response).

(I don’t want to create intermediary files.)

Anyone else seeing more segfaults with #nodejs 22 and #npm

Going to have to go back to LTS as pipeline keep failing now when installing dependencies when using caching.

Turns out the answer is DOWNLOAD MORE RAM.

Runners were using 8Gb images, so we bumped it up to 16Gb and all of a sudden no problems and it runs faster
