This, 100% It’s like how people started saying “PC” because personal computer was too long for them, but now I exclusively hear people taking up to a minute on each letter! (peeeeeeee-seeeeeeee)

Ascii needs seven bits, but is almost always encoded as bytes, so every ascii letter has a throwaway bit.

Wait till you here about every ascii letter. . .

What’s your reasoning for thinking its not gardening?The article goes into some detail to explain that a fair amount of gardening skill is involved and its a lot more than just letting your lawn grow wild.

I’m not gonna try to convince you otherwise because I think our world views are too different for that to be worthwhile l, but I do want to understand, when you say “are the problem”, what in your mind is the problem?

Is it that you think they’re taking up state resources, what resources do you think they’re using vs work that they do?

Is it because you have an idea if what the make up in America should be in terms of languages, birthplace or race?

Not trying to debate you, genuinely interested to understand why you feel like that.

Tbf we don’t know how many columns there are /s

Oh awesome! I saw their website just describes them as “source accessible” and that github didn’t detect a license type and (wrongly) took that to mean it was an “open core but not really open source” product.

Was about to point you to MatterMost but saw it’s not open source, doh! Anyone know if it was and switched? Or was it always closed source?

Edit: Turns out it was and still is open source, I just apparently suck at researching.

I’m not American so nobody got my vote, but seems to me like the issue is with the swathes of people choosing facism rather than progressives who chose not to vote.

Choosing how to act in a world like ours is tricky, anyone following a sense of right and wrong (even if I disagree with their judgement) instead of fear, hate, greed or whatever gets a gold star in my book.

I use Cosmic and really like it- have used i3, Awesome and Gnome in the past for a while too, I really likes them.

The most time I spent with a set up was Awesome + rofi, which I really enjoyed. I customised literally everything and spent hours tweaking stuff.

That was super fun, but in all honesty my workflow is more or less:

1. Open up a terminal (alacritty, tmux + fish shell + helix editor)
2. Open up a browser (Firefox, have played with others but there’s always some quirk where I give up)
3. That’s it.

Honestly, all the tweaking is fun for me, but with my workflow I have like 0 requirements for anything fancy. Daily driving cosmic is going nicely for now, and seems to mostly get out of my way.

Sounds like it’s working great for you- I wish it would for me too! I’m not OP but some of my main gripes are:

• Most calls have, for at least one caller, a wierd lag time where the call doesn’t start for 10 seconds or so

• Quite frequently (I’d guess 5 calls a month) a call will be disrupted by teams failing completely for someone on the call (camera not working, not being able to join etc)

• It uses a lot of RAM even when idling

• It has hundreds of features, like “together mode” that bloat the software without adding to its core functionality

• The UI is a confused mess, and the conceptual split between teams, channels and chats is messyat best.

On top of that, I don’t find teams makes me more productive, if feels like a constant distraction that modern corporate culture requires me to have, even though its a net drop in productivity. This last point is more on instant messengers as a whole, but it doesn’t place me in a very charitable or forgiving mindset for interpretting Team’ multitude of flaws.

Not sure why this is getting the levelof downvotes it is- it seems sweet and unobtrusive. Is vegan just like 20% anti-vegan people waiting to get up in arms about something?

Here’s my hot tip! (ok maybe luke warm)

Write as much of your CICD in a scripting language like bash/python/whatever. You’ll be able to test it locally and then the testing phase of your CICD will just be setting up the environment so it has the right git branches coined, permissions, etc.

You won’t need to do 30 commits now, only like 7! And you’ll cry for only like 20 minutes instead of a whole afternoon!

I have a Fairphone 4 and would definitely give them the biggest recommendation I could.

Any part can be replaced with a screwdriver which is an order of magnitude better than I’ve seen with other brands. I dropped and broke my phone screen and although I had to buy a new screen, after that I had a phone working as if it was brand new.

I also got mortar into my usb charging socket and was able to replace the charging socket.

You might be able to tell that I’m not the best at looking after things, I’m working on this but in the meantime, fairphone have saved me at least two situations where I’d normally need to buy a new phone. Can’t recommend them enough.

Thanks for such a detailed response! I’m planning on mainly using it for smallish trips, say heading into my local town. I’ve recently move to being just outside walking distance but it’s very short distance to drive for.

I also live around a lot of woods and it’d be good to be able to ride on a dirt path now and then.

From what I can see a ‘hybrid’ sounds like it’d be a good fit?

Thanks! Relieved it sounds easy enough to figure out

Oh boy, have fun! CTEs have pretty wide support, so you might be in luck (well at least in that respect, in all other cases you’re still using saleforce amd my commiserations are with you)

I have advice that you didn’t ask for at all!

SQL’s declarative ordering annoys me too. In most languages you order things based on when you want them to happen, SQL doesn’t work like that- you need to order query dyntax based on where that bit goes according to the rules of SQL. It’s meant to aid readability, some people like it a lot,but for me it’s just a bunch of extra rules to remember.

Anyway, for nested expressions, I think CTEs make stuff a lot easier, and SQL query optimisers mean you probably shouldn’t have to worry about performance.

I.e. instead of:

SELECT
  one.col_a,
  two.col_b
FROM one
LEFT JOIN
    (SELECT * FROM somewhere WHERE something) as two
    ON one.x = two.x

you can do this:

WITH two as (
     SELECT * FROM somewhere
     WHERE something
)

SELECT
  one.col_a,
  two.col_b
FROM one
LEFT JOIN two
ON one.x = two.x

Especially when things are a little gnarly with lots of nested CTEs, this style makes stuff a tonne easier to reason with.

I find meat eaters ask me “would you eat grown meat?” a lot, but my response is always just “I guess maybe? I honestly don’t miss meat that much”. I haven’t come across any vegetarians/vegans who are particularly psyched about it either.

This is all speculation, but I’m not particularly convinced there’s much of a market for lab grown meat over soy based products given how much more expensive they need to be.
