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.
Trying to figure out how to best make a Django app respond to the finger protocol. I’m not sure how deep down the rabbit hole I want to go before spinning up a small, separate service.
@webology If we go with the most common / traditional meaning of IDE I can see the monoculture, but overall it feels like there’s a good amount of diversity in what people use to edit Python code. And with LSP and DSP the lines are getting blurry.
I’d pick Go for many services any day of the week. It got a lot going for it and Gin and Echo are competent frameworks covering a lot of functionality. (Personal preference is Echo despite the versioning issues we’ve seen)
But I hoped for the ecosystem to mature a bit and become more opinionated instead of assuming everyone got the knowledge to stitch individual libs together.
We are invited for Christmas dinner and to not run on an empty stomach all day I made some Christmas Pfannenkuchen (German version of pancakes). It’ll be a chill day with way too much food :)
Got myself an early Christmas present and subscribed to manning.com. One free ebook a month makes this a pretty good deal already, having access to the whole library and being able to invite someone are welcome additions :)
@carlton I was a Safari Books Online subscriber for a long time. (Even got a team licenses for my junior engs back then) Then they forced an online auth even when downloading the book and I wasn’t able to read anything during a 12 hour flight. Cancelled the subscription when I arrived at the hotel… :/
Men (or other masc presenting folks), where do I get an affordable tie clip that is the proper length, and not whatever the hell monstrosity I keep getting on Amazon that looks like a clown car tie clip on any standard modern tie?
@hacks4pancakes my tailor sells all ties optionally as clip on - they measure how long they should be and do the work right in the shop.
The other option they have is like a choker necklace(?) which seems to hold a shirt together a bit nicer.
I think it took like 20 minutes when I was there last time and someone ordered a clip on. Might be worth checking if you got one close by offering a service like this.
If video games have taught me anything, it's that if you come across a waterfall you should always try to walk into it because there will probably be treasure
What is it with airports in Spain?! I couldn’t find a flight to San Sebastián and now I cannot find one to Vigo…
I am still planning a road trip, but I wanted a backup option just in case we don’t have time to drive there.
@kiwa@elisse what’s the currently preferred way to provide easy, accessible live chat with developers that doesn’t require any overhead on the dev part in any form (monetary, time, work,…)?
🤔 This is about as close as I could come up with to show the difference in "hello world" in vanilla Python, a Django manage command, and using native types and the Typer library as I could get in 10 minutes.
I picked Typer because it "just works" with Python Types.
I picked Django because it has zero support for Python Types.
To be clear, using Django as an example of how "bad" or "confusing" Python Types are only reflects poorly on Django not embracing Types.
@webology Django also doesn’t prevent me from using types in my code. It’s nearly as if developers and teams would have a choice of the style they prefer which seems to be completely lost in this discussion.
Also Django not supporting types making LSPs life a lot harder (that and models…) means there’s a good reason to continue to support a an independent company (JetBrains) :D
I’d prefer to do most of my dev work on Linux and I’m using #jetbrains IDEs for all other languages, so Rider seems like a good choice.
But I remember some people complaining it cannot match Visual Studio when it comes to .net in certain areas? #gameDev
@carlton the only thing I’ve seen so far LLMs could reliably replace is people who take a random fact, draw the wrong conclusion and then try to sound like they know what they are talking about…
So... I really, really, REALLY want to get better at sewing. I can sew some simple things like zipper bags, but it's like every time I completely forgot the last time and have to start over again.
I am desperate for a step-by-step for complete beginners guide that I can use to retain some knowledge and will allow me to build up confidence and skills. I don't mind if it's paid, I just want to truly improve. Any recommendations, friends?
@elisse might be a bit unpractical but you might find something like this shop in your country. Pre made packages with templates to cut the material and how to sew it. That’s how I learned sewing. 20 plush animals later I was fairly sure I can handle anything that is textile.
@carlton that sounds like what I remember from my last attempt to move to another editor (VSCode and Neovim).
I could live without the debugger and test runner. I’ll still use the command line like an old, grumpy man refusing to click on things and getting rid of muscle memory.
But I won’t negotiate on code introspection and refactoring capabilities. They have to be at least as good as pycharm for me to consider it an alternative.
