I build backends, apps and sometimes break them, practice martial arts and enjoy video games. I believe I have seen the whole Internet once, maybe twice.
I really liked Google’s “woven” case for the Pixel 3. So I thought I give Apples a shot.
I need a case for the gym, the music selection is beyond offensive for working out at this point.
The material feels good.
The camera bump is insanely annoying. Just make something flat for once FFS.
It might not age as well as Google’s.
Finally got around to add a notes section to my blog to post links with a short comment, drafts I won't finish and other random things not really worth making it to the main feed.
I considered micro.blog after seeing you post more frequently on it and the experience being pretty good as reader, but didn’t want to spread content over more places than I already do.
When “SEO consultants” spam me on LinkedIn to help me grow my business by optimizing my site I usually respond with a copy and paste response asking for a meeting on February 31st. This usually shuts them up.
One of them send me three follow ups apologizing for not getting an invite to me and explaining they send multiple requests to their IT team that their calendar seems broken as it won’t let them schedule on February 31st.
Hey friends, would love to get some non-fiction book recommendations from you! Anything at all that you liked, no matter what the subject. I have diverse interests and I’d love to build up a non-fiction backlog to read. #books#bookstodon
@sabderemane the single most important thing I still believe is missing is an opinion on and option for background tasks without a third party task queue and preferably without additional processes to spin up. (Sending emails etc is the most common example I think) https://www.screamingatmyscreen.com/django-build-to-last/
I’m most curious how much additional work it’d be leveraging all PY13 has to offer while providing a fallback (management command running separate interpreters ex).
From a very early experiment I did a few weeks ago it should be doable with not that much effort, but I also only learned so much on a single Saturday :)
@CodenameTim@webology how do you feel about a management command showing the announcements? It would keep them accessible beyond the one off command someone on the team runs once on his local.
I’m thinking something that can also show additional messages and potentially exit with a none 0 return code when there are important security fixes and it’s time to upgrade Django for example.
Integrated in a CI pipeline this could raise immediate awareness of actionable items.
⬇️ This is a nice write-up about using SQLite in production, with pitfalls and open questions.
😓 I cringe whenever I see some Django/Python luminary recommending people use SQLite in production. I don’t care how good you are, you won’t get it right even if you think you did. Then, someone will read your advice and contact @djangonews to ask why their production database disappears every time they deploy their website or unexpectedly. https://fosstodon.org/@anze3db/111765707787892711
The number of time of me picking up my #steamdeck and the battery being empty because it wasn’t connected to a charger for a few days is higher than me picking it up and just playing a game. And if I happen to have it docked it obviously has to update games first.
I really want to love the Deck, but that seems reserved for v2 or v3. It’s a neat device I enjoy having around. But lots of small things accumulate.
The pro controllers are just about a bit too small for me to be comfortable. @Airmed is happy with it, but she’s also easy to please when it comes to controllers.
Working through the #rust book - so far Rust looks very interesting, almost like someone has distilled lessons from decades of issues with other languages while keeping their good parts.
I felt with Go, while I loved its simplicity & performance, was in some ways a step backward.
Ownership for example feels intuitive. Doubtless it will trip me up when I start programming Rust in earnest, but it kind of makes sense at this point & I can see it prevents whole classes of bugs.
@sabderemane sounds like you had an amazing year, congratulations!
And don’t worry too much about imposter syndrome. I know more professionals that suffer from it than those who don’t.
The feeling might stick around, but year for year it’ll be easier to keep in check :)
Sometimes it is fascinating to see marketing work in the real world.
A coach in my gym switched from Samsung to an iPhone. He’s more comfortable with #android and not too fond of #ios and it’s his only Apple device.
But he was advised to switch to an iPhone by colleagues because “it has the better camera”. (Questionable?)
Which will be used for selfies in a bathroom mirror. For video production and marketing shots he uses a proper DSLR cam like most folks in the fitness industry.
I could see people starting to switch to Apple around the time the iPhone 12 camera got so much marketing attention.
Is the camera objectively better? It doesn’t really matter. They were shown how much better it is!
When a good part of your job is looking good and promoting yourself on Instagram you obviously need the best camera for the job! (Like the DSLR you are already using)
And once you made the switch from a 5 year old Android you immediately see the difference.
@SomeGadgetGuy I heard a lot of good things about Oppo in general, but I absolutely cannot speak to cameras - I got no skill using them and my photos mostly look the same since the iPhone X :D
