variouslegumes,

I’m a developer, so I didn’t even think to check textbooks for certification courses. Interesting. I don’t normally like video content, but that man’s taste in hats is making me think twice.

The Complete Rigger's Apprentice

Hey! Just curious if anyone has read this book. Also, in the beginning it mentions buying Nylon twine (36-48), double braided Dacron rope, and three strand spun Dacron rope. I went to my local West Marine and had trouble actually finding this stuff, it’s a smaller store so maybe they didn’t have it? Can anyone point me in...

variouslegumes,

Those sites look great. Thanks!

variouslegumes,

On Android (maybe iOS)? You can hold down on the space key and drag left and right to move the text cursor. Very useful.

variouslegumes,

Glad I didn’t have to scroll to see Aphex Twin mentioned. 🙂

variouslegumes,

Is this the same Chicago that sold all their parking meters to Wall Street making infrastructure changes really difficult because it would cut into parking meter profits?

Story at the end of this great 99pi

variouslegumes,

I was thinking that might be a thing. Actually kind of poetic. Love it.

variouslegumes,

I’ve been using Sway as my main desktop environment for a few years now. Before that I was very into KDE.

variouslegumes,

Get it!

variouslegumes,

So think of the Lemmy you're on as a computer in in your closet. If 10,000 people tried uploading video to it and even more tried streaming that video, you'd be pretty bummed by the space and bandwidth cost. Not sure if video streaming will ever be feasible by a non profit user hosting a Lemmy, kbin, or whatever instance. Probably best to stick with links to external platforms for now.

variouslegumes,

Isn't choosing a platform not driven by capital basically fighting enshitification?

variouslegumes, (edited )

Seconded. I daily drove a yoga for some time (really a flex). It worked pretty well. Definitely check the compatibility of whatever laptop you choose before though. I had to manually install a driver to get the touchpad to work everytime I updated the kernel until it was finally merged into mainline. 😬

variouslegumes,

Github desktop will get you into trouble if you ever try to work with a team. Fine for solo development

variouslegumes,

The CLI and probably other more advanced guis are going to give you the option to:

  • bisect: very useful for debugging. Like definitely check it out.
  • rebase: excellent for clean commits. I use it all the time to squash commits together
  • diff arbitrary branches and commits. Super useful for debugging.
  • cherry pick: useful to apply a commit from a different branch or remote
  • Apply: I use it to pass around patches for things for testing / debugging.

That's just off the top of my head and also stuff that you can learn on the job. Good to know it exists though. I still use a "gui" (fugitive for vim) for simple tasks, like staging files 🙂

variouslegumes,

I think the format of a reddit-like is just better than micro-blogging. Super interesting to see it as a federated app, much more than Twitter.

variouslegumes,

It truly is life changing. A roommate received one as a gift in college. We soon fitted the other bathroom with a bidet as well because it was too good.

variouslegumes,

I'm watching Barry right now. I had to take a break from it though. Too stressful.

variouslegumes,

I had a few friends who non stop talked about it. Finally watched it, same reaction as you.

The quality is actually going to tank near the end. They lost their budget and went off the deep end story wise.

variouslegumes,

Lua is incredibly easy to embed.

variouslegumes,

Sounds like you want to contribute to something for the sake of contributing (hopefully that's not true). You're skill is worth something.

Going to spew some jaded bs: Don't pick a project that makes you sign some bullshit release, pick something that some rando started and released with no intention of monetizing. Volunteer to work on a passion project that you're also passionate about. Not something that will be used by some 9-5 300k a year tech bro. That's just my opinion though. "Open source" has been used by big companies to generate free labor (looking at you Adobe, etc).

Off the top of my head, the SignalK project is something I've wanted to volunteer for. They make some software that lets marine sensors (depth sounders, Windex, speed paddles, temp sensors, etc.) Communicate in one standard format. They built a web app with node and react as a proof of concept. It could for sure be improved. It'd be neat if it caught on because vendor lock-in is huge in marine hardware / software.

variouslegumes,

Hilarious. I've always thought that the way SSR frameworks mix front-end and back-end logic to be incredidibly obtuse.

variouslegumes,

Me too, but man I wish I had an aero press that could make two cups of coffee.

variouslegumes,

What was the wind speed through there?
