For what it's worth: I've had excellent success with moving the .git folder outside of dropbox. Simply create a text file, ``.git``, in the folder you want to use, and add a single line: ``gitdir: /abs/path/to/

It would be nice to see this paired with more widespread support for the Name Constraints TLS extension, which would in theory allow internal CAs to be restricted to issuing certificates for .internal domains. That would open up a lot of ve

Whether or not you can develop the code directly on a windows host is highly dependent on what kind of code you're writing, and what environment it's being deployed to. It's the recommended way to do virtualization these days

Don't get me wrong -- I'm not complaining! Like I said, improvements are just that: an improvement. And my priorities aren't the same as WSL2 priorities, that's clear too. But I don't think it's reasonable to e

Not dumb at all; WSLg would actually work for linux applications, and in theory seems relatively painless, though I've never actually tried it. I think the guides I was looking at were pre-WSLg, where it was... a mess. But it's ki

For a brief minute I was hoping that this would be a built-in solution for mirroring host files to the linux VM, but alas... I think development on windows has come a long, long way over the years, but I still feel like these days you'

Sure, but that doesn't answer my question. What I'm saying is, the Ämter in Berlin are explicitly using the term "Kreditkarte" to refer to all Visa/Mastercard/Maestro cards, including debit cards. In Berlin, on

Even in the local Ämtern? In my experience they're the worst offenders here. For example, Zahlungsmöglichkeiten on these two pages: [1] "Am Standort kann bar und mit girocard (mit PIN) (ehemals EC-Karte) bezahlt werden." This

by nbadg 3y ago
To be clear, people know the difference between Kreditkarte and Girokarte. Also, some nuance here: using the terms "Karte" and "Kreditkarte" interchangeably isn't the same thing as "people don't know the d

In my experience (~31yrs US, ~2yrs Germany): USA: debit cards and credit cards are both offered through banks. They operate on the same payment infrastructure (Visa, Mastercard, etc). They are all equally accepted. The only difference betwe

Setting aside the performance argument, strictly adhering to this rule makes a big difference in 3rd-party tools like Sentry. If you pre-format log messages, the parameters don't get captured, and (at least in my experience) it sometim

I haven't used Kivy in quite a while, so maybe this has changed, but as far as I know -- no, Kivy hasn't done something like this. In Kivy, everything looks like Kivy, regardless of what platform you're on, and you need to ex

Charge for commercial usage. The goal would be to re-capture value from commercial entities that use plain reddit posts (not paid reddit advertising) for commercial gain. A prime example would be a publicity firm hosting an AMA with actors

I suspect this is due to a fundamental misunderstanding of what tools like ChatGPT actually are, what their capabilities are, etc. I think there is a large population of people who think they're simply more sophisticated versions of Si

I would put a slight caveat on that: it's caused by bad behavior being _perceived_ to be profitable. That doesn't mean it necessarily is. Nor that the bad actor necessarily has the tools (or desire) to evaluate the effectiveness o

You're missing my point here. I realize that the broader discussion is about the API, but this specific thread is about a different kind of commercial use, which could be using the official reddit app or web client. We're talking

by nbadg 3y ago
I agree that there is a lot of commercial use of reddit that reddit fails to monetize. I have no idea how much of that is moderation, but it doesn't really matter: restricting API usage is the wrong way to solve this problem Instead, t

asyncio.Task is part of the asyncio event loop framework. So any event loop implementation that conforms to that framework will have to have one (including the default event loop implementation that ships with asyncio). So for example, uvlo

The thing is, there's a lot more nuance to it than this. Async/await is part of the language syntax in python, but asyncio is only one particular implementation of an event loop framework to power it. But really what async/aw
