Wrote a to a fedi friend a few days ago.

The content is so basic cause it was all very impromptu.

But yeah - maybe I can start writing ??? Internationally???

How much does this kind of thing cost

kytta,
@kytta@fosstodon.org avatar

@ru depends on the sender's country. In Germany, sending internationally costs about 35% more than local post, which is 1.10 € for a typical 20 g letter. The price is the same for all recipient countries. Quite cheap in comparison to Belgium, where I had to pay 9 € for three postcards to (neighbouring) Germany 😵‍💫

Someone responsible for enforcing the code of conduct in a project reaches out to you to discuss your behavior.

Do you (1) listen to them in earnest, ask questions if things are unclear, and take the opportunity for introspection and improvement, or (2) interpret everything they said as a threat, immediately escalate it into an argument, and characterize the email as a harassment campaign targeted against you and endorsed by the employer of the conduct enforcement person?

🤦‍♂️

Write your tests folks! Kept having a minor annoying issue with some utility code that I run manually for a client. Have re-read it each time it messes up and didn't spot the issue until I took an extra 10 minutes and wrote comprehensive tests with example data.

@frank and that's why I use len(...) <= 0 when checking for empty lists 😛

@kytta@fosstodon.org avatar

Coming back to a project after 1–2 months of not working on it. pnpm up reports ~150 updated dependencies out of 875. And those are just minor/patch updates.

I feel like JS developers get punished if they don’t release daily 🙄

A lifehack for @AntennaPod users!

  1. Go to the app settings for AntennaPod
  2. Go to “Open by default”
  3. Make sure opening supported links is enabled and all links are selected

Now you can open Apple and Google URLs in AntennaPod, which saves some steps when you want to add a new podcast :blobcatheadphones:

A few weeks ago, I’ve written a small essay about modern tools (like and ) and things I dislike about them. I wanted to first redesign my website before posting it, but nah, that would take too long of a time 😂

You'd think with all this spare time I would be caught up with the podcast backlog.

TIL: The SVG <switch> element.

You can serve different content depending on the language of the document.

see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Element/switch

kytta,
@kytta@fosstodon.org avatar

@estelle one important thing to note: It might not work as you expect on Android.

As we're used to, browsers usually don't do region fallback ('en-GB' to 'en'), this is why by default you have both in your settings (and navigator.languages). But on Android, the value of the latter comes from the System settings, and you can't set it to be regionless.

For me, the MDN example shows 'en-GB' and not 'de-DE', because it can only match for 'de' without a region.

I love listening to , but it's not my number 1 source of entertainment. As such, I only get to listen to them when I can't watch videos or write code, which is usually my job commute. When I started working full-time, I finally got the opportunity to process my listening queue.

Well, 2024 hasn't been that productive, so far. I started working remotely, then I went on a holiday, and then I got sick, so I'm back to 100 episodes, 3+ days of listening 🙃

kytta,
@kytta@fosstodon.org avatar

In a perfect world, this would be my to-do list:

  • finish the 10+ open-source side projects I'm actively thinking about
  • watch 185 YouTube videos
  • listen to 100 podcast episodes
  • read 274 blog posts

My days don't have enough hours in them :blobcatdizzy:

@nolan a valid argument for some sites, but for react.dev? It's a blog post with static information, why does it even try loading a script in the first place, and why does it do it over and over again? Yeah, it's not what a typical user would experience, but it's still crazy dumb behaviour :D

As I’m finalizing my second video, I wonder: has someone used both Davinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro and could tell me whether for my explain-type videos the latter is less janky and more approachable than the former?

I understand that Resolve has the best color correction in the industry and amazing sound features but the jank is driving me crazy and from what I’ve seen about FCP, it seems like it could mesh with my brain that dreams in Keynote better.

kytta,
@kytta@fosstodon.org avatar

@hynek huh, TIL that Final Cut Pro is not that dumb and that one can change the connection points :blobcatfacepalm: RTFD, indeed

https://www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/resources/

From the FCP guide: ‘If you need to move, trim, or delete clips in the primary storyline but want to keep any connected clips where they are, you can hold down the Grave Accent (`) key while editing to preserve the timing and position of connected clips.’
