Voyager is a great app but this is something that’s been a minor gripe of mine, the current location of the account switcher makes one handed use on large screens like the iPhone Pro Max line difficult. As a long time Apollo user I feel this change would make Voyager feel like the perfect lemmy app and a true Apollo...
I’m envious of people who can use modern Java. We’re still on the #roadto11 from Java 8. It’s good though that newer versions are incremental. The path to upgrades should be simpler.

Because it’s unintentionally funny even though not a dad joke and people might be seeing this on their all feeds without noticing the community name. It made me expel air out of both my nostrils at the same time.
They seem to be too big for what devs claim to be a ‘minor patch’ and yet too small to suggest a complete reinstallation of the app. Is there some technical reason behind it? I would like to request an ELI5 for this.
The Google Play Store uses a technique called delta patching to calculate the diff server side and avoid transferring parts of the app that haven’t changed since your original installation.
This is understandably not perfect because they want to avoid load on their servers and also the extra processing on your device to “unpack” it. So what you have is a happy medium between sending the entire app again and sending strictly the diff.
I don’t know how i feel about a bot posting content from Reddit. Your project legit looks cool, but I personally block lemmit because these posts give me the feeling of abandoned cities. I was on reddit for the discussions. Same for lemmy. Posts without comments are boring.
Oh! I missed that. This sounds much nicer. Probably not for /c/rust though. Like someone else said, this community already has good engagement. I think you should target large non-technical subreddits like AITA. Those will take time to pick up on Lemmy.
I think code golf is a great dataset for this kind of analysis specifically because they are artificial and people are paying attention to the number of characters used. Leetcode solutions might be a better option though.
In real world projects there are too many confounding factors. People aren’t implementing servers in brainfuck or websites in C. Even rewrites of a project into another language have more/fewer features. So it’s an apples to oranges comparison.
That’s true, and you can also combine multiple errors to have a single catch block or handle each error separately. The perfect dataset for this comparison will need to be written. Code golf data is good enough for a non-academic fun analysis like this one.
The initial rate in 1866 for messages sent along the transatlantic cable was ten dollars a word, with a ten word minimum, meaning that a skilled workman of the day would have to set aside ten weeks’ salary in order to send a single message.

Some things have gotten better, but some have gotten worse. I’ve always thought that the analogy of older flagship phones fits this perfectly.
Is your current budget android more common on the streets than a flagship from 4 years ago ever was? Yes. Does it have a comparable processor, and camera? Maybe. Is the build quality better? Hell no.
Yeah. Build machines should never have had internet access. Any dependencies your product uses should be downloaded once and then cached in your own artifactory. If you don’t, what you deploy in production could be different from what you tested in staging. That can allow attacks like this to happen much more easily.
Even when running an instance for yourself, you’re not really safe. The threat to your privacy goes from being a third party in control of your data to your own operational inexperience.
I tried to host my own personal Lemmy instance and ran into a lot of issues hosting it. On the one hand you want to be safe by restricting unnecessary access, but on the other hand you have no idea why federation doesn’t work, or the postfix-relay docker cannot send an email, or why you cannot ssh into your own host, so you want to just allow everything and just get it to work somehow. In the end, unless you are already an expert at this stuff, trying to host your personal instance safely is a tall task.
It’s also going to be very costly. Especially for an image sharing website like Pixelfed.
Maybe there is a market for self-service managed hosts like we have with Wordpress blogs.
Comment any opinion and I will disagree with it, no matter what.
The Chinese calendar is 4721 years old. Did it have the same problem as the Julian calendar with an imprecise number of days per year?
Fyi there are 365.242374 days in a year.
