Instead of being promoted and moving on, claiming it as a victory evermore

* and *

stupid formatting

I have no objection to your opinion but * and * are somewhat.. Python-inspired

I don't understand why Samsung is up there, at least on mine there's options to let it run things in the background when you need to. And otherwise, I'd rather not have apps hogging the battery in the background.

You have to pull a defined ratio of the pins, like Shamirs secrets

Not me, but I have been looking for a self-hosted CDE; anyone have experience with Eclipse Che they would share?

An overlay buster buster

lol, plausible deniability

It will look like Windows. The future is now!

Yep. It takes so little time/money to tidy these pages and people notice when you haven't and it counts against you.

Plus a quick shower once or twice a week

It's just one computer so not much of a data point, but I feel obliged to mention I've had a desktop AMD (Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core) running databases and various other applications for a couple years and it's been superb. Not one single issue, never have to reboot it, last time it went off was about four months ago from a power failure.

My biggest complaint is that it's even harder (or possibly more confusing) to work out how to get an AMD running ECC RAM than it is for Intel, and that's saying something.

Yep 100%. This wasn't a one-player game.

I have zero problems with XML. Hard sell though.

It's annoying though because it's so mature compared to everything similar (even YAML, which I obviously quite like); like if you make an XSD for your config files everyone gets free editing features (not just validation, completion as well, even completion of attributes)

* JSON doesn't have comments. I could stop right there because that's a total deal-breaker for me for anything that's supposed to be read or written by humans.

* JSON doesn't handle multiline strings.

* JSON is not especially readable (no structure enforced, braces and double quote mandatory).

* JSON can't load YAML but YAML can load JSON.

(lots more)

This pure Python library claims quite fabulous performance: https://github.com/MagicStack/asyncpg

I believe it because that team have done lots of great stuff but I haven't used it, I just remembered thinking it was interesting the performance was so good. Not sure how related it is to running on the asyncio loop (or which loop they used for benchmarks).

I think 'magic fix' could be replaced with 'fun thing to do'

I haven't used it for a long while, but I did a LOT of PHP5, several years. In my opinion PHP4 was horrific (from a language/standard library perspective, most languages you can get what you want done regardless of that), a lot of it carried over into PHP5 despite being a lot better (e.g. see phpsadness). Then the fiasco that was 6/7/whatever made it really hard to have confidence in the future of PHP.

No idea how recent PHP is. It's hard to escape those opinions that formed fairly widely in the industry is, though.

I have nothing useful to add except that I know quite a few people who would be happy if they could have an apostrophe in their name without everything going to shit

Hahaha you beat me to it.

Still rude though. Rude on rude.

Yeah for sure, the PERL influence is why I dislike Ruby. Makes it really hard to read if you haven't been doing it constantly.

If you pay for search you get some of those benefits already

It's weird that it's open source, but you can't self-host it unless you pay. How does that work?

"Today, Bitwarden announces the general availability of Bitwarden Secrets Manager, an open source, end-to-end encrypted solution that empowers development teams to easily store, manage, automate, and share secrets at scale."

You can sell it to your grandmother, just don't tell anyone.

They may not write good poetry but they'll sue the pants off you if you misuse their poems. Wait maybe I mean software not poetry

It's not immaterial, it's literally the point of the GPL. If they don't want to release their modifications they shouldn't take advantage of the huge effort that went into the linux kernel. Maybe use a different OS and license it..

+1 for flatpak (and modern csv looks great! I will most likely buy)

I've used ORMs quite a bit and I agree with you, but the advantage for me has been getting the database objects into your application, and to a lesser degree good ORMs providing a schema for other code to integrate with.

It's not super popular but I've been using Scala's Quill quite a bit lately. I don't think it's an ORM exactly, it's more like LINQ and automatic mapping between the database and case classes, but it's really nice and does everything I want from an ORM.

That looks really good, thank you.

LoC, the ultimate metric
