manjaro was terrible when I used it (several years ago), imo it is fundamentally broken. I would suggest trying a smoother arch install. I always recommend endeavoros because I had an effortless experience with it.

What do you mean by “no structure”? Afaik mongodb does not enforce a schema in a collection by default

just looked it up and couldn’t find a decent client for ios. There was Monal but it looks more like a draft rather than a finished application. Things don’t even have padding or margins. The snikket one I won’t even mention, you can’t expect people to use something that gives them visual discomfort.

This tool is for your use case. It comes with bonus privacy features like unique address for each service so they can’t cross track you

got it, apologies

I got that impression from your reply “lol that’s funny, you’re funny” to a completely non humorous comment

which DE?

I really don’t understand how a 5-10 minute meeting can get in the way of progress

from what you describe it does sound like a nightmare, but you’re ignoring or mocking people that tell you that it is not the norm

Also, tests ARE THE code, and equally important too! However so many people make the mistake of writing tests after the function, when the benefit is less immediate. They also have the illusion that they are done and have to do extra work. And since they didn’t write the test first, they most likely wasted a ton of time and energy on extra work of testing changes manually

I got so excited about an app that would do both, went to App Store and got genuinely startled by how unpleasant it looked. I don’t understand when devs opt in to spend more time on custom styling when there are lots of properly designed libraries

yeah I really don’t understand why it’s not cheaper

I’ve heard good things about it, looking forward to learning it (hopefully soon)

yes I heard it’s great. Scala was one language where I didn’t constantly feel like getting hit in the head with a hammer and I’ve heard Kotlin has a similar experience. I’m not interested in Android development so I haven’t tried it

the can’t add proper typing without adding a compiler. Whatever they add will be closer to puthon’s type hints. I’ve had to write primary in python lately and type hints help very very slightly, and tools like pyright catch so many false errors due to lack of hints in libraries that we’re forced to add ignore statements on too many lines. I genuinely don’t understand how there can be so many languages and all of them be painful to use

Typescript is the only way I can agree to code in Javascript. And the only way you can have a sane project without writing double or triple the amount if unit tests for each function just to check things that a compiler would do. However it is absolutely a lipstick on a pig thing with confusing behavior sometimes, but that’s because the underlying language it is trying to make bearable is bonkers

If you were able to set it up yourself I feel like nix learning curve shouldn’t be too hard for you. Especially since if you decide to go back, you’ll bring back lots of value - you can use nix package manager and home manager on any distro. I’m very interested to try them out but am a bit wary since I don’t have experience with nixos

Do you have a manual arch setup or did you use an install that configured it?

in my experience manjaro install had a weird unnecessary customizations in terms of configuring things. Applications broke more often and it was harder to apply common fixes. Not very beginner-friendly because of that. Endeavor results in a much cleaner and simpler install
