I really like Nushell. I would not run it as a daily driver currently, as it mostly doesn’t win me over from Fish, feature-wise, but I love having it available for anything CLI date pipeline work I need to do.
Love this. Always interesting to see novel ways of querying data in the terminal, and I agree that jq’s syntax is difficult to remember.
I actually prefer nu(shell) for this though. On the lobste.rs thread for this blog, a user shared this:
| get license.key -i
| uniq --count
| rename license
This outputs the following:
╭───┬──────────────┬───────╮
│ # │ license │ count │
├───┼──────────────┼───────┤
│ 0 │ bsd-3-clause │ 23 │
│ 1 │ apache-2.0 │ 5 │
│ 2 │ │ 2 │
╰───┴──────────────┴───────╯
I like Konsole.
It comes with KDE, supports tabs, themes, and loads very fast.
I don’t really need more from a terminal than that. When I, rarely, need more advanced features like window splitting and session management I also use Zellij (previously I used tmux).
Yes, I don’t know how I forgot to mention that Iceshrimp and Sharkey both have Mastodon compatible APIs - so all the same apps work (mostly).
Based on your requirements, I would suggest looking at one of the Firefish / CalcKey forks. They are ideal for single user or small instances and they support s3 compatible object storage out of the box.
I would recommend looking at Sharkey or Iceshrimp. Both are under very active development and have very responsive developers if you need support.
If you would like to check out an example, Ruud (of mastodon.world and lemmy.world) set up an instance of Sharkey at (you guessed it) sharkey.world.
Honestly, for any large scale project in Python, Pydantic makes it bearable. We use Python heavily at work (and I’d argue we shouldn’t be for the projects we’re working on…), and Pydantic is the one library we’re using that I wouldn’t be without. Precisely because it allows us to inject some of these static typing concepts and keeps us honest, and our code understandable.
Yes! The concepts are intertwined.
I think the key take away, for me, is to lean heavily into your type system and allow that to do some of the heavy lifting. Accept that something like a username
is not a string, but a subtype of a string (this has to be true if any validation is required, otherwise you’d just accept any valid string).
It’s one of my favourites. Something I revisit every couple of years.
That one has been on my list for a while. Are you finding yourself able to easily apply what is taught to your day-to-day?
I have read a few of these books. As for non-fiction:
Pragmatic Programmer Excellent book; should be compulsory reading for all software developers.
The Phoenix Project Enjoyable enough. It’s a fictional story and has some extremely role-cast, trope filled characters. But its purpose is not to be a great novel. Its purpose is to teach the history of and purpose of how dev-ops came about. I think it’s worth reading. I’m yet to try the Unicorn Project which I understand is actually more about software.
Eloquent JavaScript I am not a huge fan of working with JavaScript or front end, but I did read this when I got placed on a long term project where I would be using it for the duration. I found this book excellent, and my JavaScript certainly benefitted from it.
I also read a bunch of the fictional books. Bobiverse is one of my favourite series ever, despite the weirdness of the fourth book (it was still good). I’m just over halfway through Children of Time, and seriously regret not picking it up sooner. Well kind of, if I had I suppose I wouldn’t be enjoying it so much now!
I believe the lower cable connects the two boards. The upper cable is for connecting to your device, so would only be connect to one of the boards when in use.
I use UK standard layout, and Apple UK for work. It always takes me a few minutes to switch between them, but both are absolutely fine for programming. Just the odd placement of #
that bothers me a little, but I tend to use that only for Python comments - which I tend to do more commonly from a keyboard shortcut anyway.
As in, I have Nginx running on my server and use it as a reverse proxy to access a variety of apps and services. But can’t get it playing nicely with AIO Nextcloud.
Yes I’ve not managed to solve this yet. For me, it’s hosting AIO behind my existing Nginx.
Yeah maybe. But even that is hardly exceptional battery life. And then the watch will be less than 50% by the time you’ve slept with it.
…Samsung watch 4, and it was a whole different story. Snappy. Great UI. Great battery life.
Do we have a different Samsung watch 4? Or a different expectation of great battery?
I got one last year, and it’s my first smartwatch. It lasts one day. Having to charge it every night makes it a burden. Of it hadn’t been so expensive, and if I didn’t want to get the body tracking It offers, I’d simply leave it on a drawer.
My friend has a Garmin of some kind. It’s bulky, but o kind of like that. He reckons his lasts nearly a week. That would be my idea of great battery.
To those who have been recommending Florisboard in this thread: Thank you. I’ve longed for a good FOSS keyboard, but always found they lacked enough features that I was willing to compromise and stick with gboard. Florisboard, using the latest beta from IzzyOnDroid, absolutely hits the mark already. It’s missing a few features, like word autosuggest, but I can live without that for a while.
I’d rather not dox myself. They’re not a huge company. I promise you that this is not something uncommon.
Sorry, I thought the rest was implied. Because the company also sold user data (and stated that in the T&C’s). The industry is very aware of email aliases and so it is more valuable to have sanitized data.
You know, I wish I could enjoy IRC - or chatrooms in general. But I just struggle with them. Forums and their ilk, I get. I check in on them and see what’s been posted since I last visited, and reply to anything that motivates me to do so. Perhaps I’ll even throw a post up myself once in a while.
But with IRC, Matrix, Discord, etc, I just feel like I only ever enter in the middle of an existing conversation. It’s fine on very small rooms where it’s almost analagous to a forum because there’s little enough conversation going on that it remains mostly asynchronous. But larger chatrooms are just a wall of flowing conversation that I struggle to keep up with, or find an entry point.
Anyway - to answer the actual question, I use something called “The Lounge” which I host on my VPS. I like it because it remains online even when I am not, so I can atleast view some of the history of any conversation I do stumble across when I go on IRC. I typically just use the web client that comes with it.
