The current work project[1] has all of these, with one substitution: Pyenv, Poetry, Pytest, pytest-cov with 100% branch coverage, pre-commit, Pylint rather than Flake8, Black, mypy (with a stricter configuration than recommended here), and

The devs are actively anti-folder structure handling within Darktable[1], which is why I still have to use Digikam or a file manager and then leave my computer for a few hours to re-import my entire collection every so often. Re. UI, open

Definitely. Only make something configurable if you know there are people you want to use the software who will use different values for that configuration. Infinite flexibility equals infinite complexity.

Treating shell scripts as first class has taken me on a bit of a journey over the last decade: - Learned from shunit2 that it's possible to write solid shell scripts, and that writing test code in shell scripts is hard to learn but doa

The article was great, but this was an annoying set of substitutions. There's a perfectly cromulent way of creating technology-agnostic content: metasyntactic variables like "Foo" and "Bar". Instead, the simple subs

Techniques aren't culty, people are. I've been practising TDD for years, but I've only ever heard of this cult in web forums.

I wonder if this could reasonably be applied to the rm command - something like "wait for log(N) seconds before actually deleting N files."

That's about three levels deeper than most users are comfortable navigating, and as such only a negligible fraction of users will ever see this setting, understand what it does, and change it. Too bad every enterprise solution defaults

It's tempting to make shouldiemail.com and just answer "No" for all these features. Seriously though, it must be years between every time I see an HTML email which would not have been improved by being plain text.

Excellent work, although the "hover me" doesn't do anything in Firefox 88 on Linux.

tl;dr: Nix will soon be deciding whether to rebuild packages based on the dependency contents rather than the build inputs, which should result in much fewer rebuilds. This is excellent news, and hopefully the savings will end up being us

You can do this in the browser already. In Firefox, go to Preferences → Language and Appearance → Advanced and untick "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above". The user experience is that it improv

Absolutely! I follow some 100+ feeds in Liferea. Basically any site or part of a site which has interesting content with low or intermediate frequency (Hacker News and the like would just flood the "inbox"). It's an excellent

Thanks for the sha256sum tip - I checked the man page, but it doesn't mention that it reads from standard input by default (only when passing the filename "-"). The code has only changed once in the few months I've been

I wrote The newline Guide to Bash Scripting[1] (released today!) with users like you in mind: already familiar with programming, needs to use Bash, but don't want to invest hundreds of hours to understand how to list files, use redirec

You have to use it with caution though, otherwise it just becomes an excuse to never get rid of cruft.

It's interesting how these have held up: Do you use source control? Source control is much more common now than in 2000. I worked many years as a software developer before encountering any team which used version control as a

For sure, as long as that's not how they/I write code normally! :D It demonstrates very in-depth understanding of the structure of the language, just as any good writing demonstrates expert-level understanding of natural language.

As someone who's used CDK for a few months and never handcoded CF, that sounds completely correct. If you're comfortable with Python, here's a simple but non-trivial architecture you can check out: https://github.c
