😂 I just found that outlook allows one to set the language to "English (Germany)" and now I am looking forward to Deutsche Bahn English (senk ju for träwelling)... 🙈
When you learn that a band you missed three years ago in Montreal (my flight left an hour before they hit the stage... and I learned it literally the day before) is now playing in Brussels.
Obviously detailed commit messages are useful, especially when reviewing code. But I'm wondering if some bit of code requires an explanation wouldn't it be better to provide it as a comment in the code so it's easily visible without having to git blame in the future.
I need a photo to use on my dors/cluc talk submission. The one I have on my profile is pushing 10 years and I risk people not recognizing me from the photo. Maybe I should just scare people off with a selfie.
Pet peeve: When desinging your system, make a glossary and stick to it so you don't end up inventing multiple terms for the same thing.
Case in point: Croatia airlines sent me a check-in email with a "booking reference" but the website requires me to enter a "reservation number". And it's not even a number, it's alphanumerical.
To me any system that isn't capable to handle the british pre-1970s currency is not up to the job. Not because we should go back there, but because it is based on too many implicit assumptions
@heiglandreas What's your solution? Implementing a system which can handle all possible ways of denoting currencies seems like overkill. Yagni and all that. I usually just end up with decimal in the db and do the rounding logic in code.
Did I tell you about when my sister was studying in the USA and on one of her trips back there from home se brought 3kg of Parmigiano Reggiano DOP (the “real” parmesan) and they gave her trouble at customs because they thought she was smuggling it for resale and she had to explain that it was just her personal consumption reserve for her first month there?
It lets you block sites from showing up in your search results so you can shitcan Pinterest, w3schools, etc. The first time you do a search, you have to bonk the extension icon and give it permissions. There are also... https://jwz.org/b/ykIC
@jwz I switched to Kagi search. It's paid but I find it much better than DDG. You can rank domains so the ones you want to show on top and hide the ones you dislike.
#toot is a CLI interface to Mastodon, Pleroma and cousins
The big change is using the Click library for crafting the commandline interface which enables some nice new features without too much work on my part.
There are some breaking changes so check out the changelog, and see replies for some highlights.
Formatted toot output such as timeline and notifications will adjust itself to your screen width if it's smaller than 80 chars. Also it's possible to set the max content width to your desired value by passing toot --max-width <n>, or by setting the value in your settings file.
Note to future self: ALL write actions made by the user should be logged. Inevitably someone will ask you "who did this?" and it would be better if you can answer that question.
@drewdevault The pastry shops in NL are irresistible. The smell of spices envelops me and I'm off to become fat. At least the bikes offset the calories somewhat.
@vertigo random thing. Before VSCode came along I used to use Sublime. It was a little rougher around the edges in some areas of the experience but it was practically the same. Including the command palette keybindings. Only difference was that it wasn’t built on electron and was a tiny (relative) C++ app from memory. Maybe need to go back to that…
@dianshuo@vertigo Sublime is alive and well. Never going to be open source but at least they never pretended anything else. LSP works pretty well these days.
