I'd be much happier if UBI proposals were higher. Living on ~900$/month nowadays would be difficult. 20 years ago I was able to split rent for a tiny concrete windowless-basement-bedroom for 450$/mo, trimmed my grocery&#x2F

If it’s useful: Python now has dataclasses, they are very struct-like.

I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, this is extremely alienating. On the other hand, I respect when devs reject features to keep their code simple. I don't think this has anything to do with graduating from berkely, I'm

You can tunnel wireguard from a local server to a cheapie DO droplet for about 5$ USD/mo. Only one ipv4 pre dropte though. I read a blogpost that mentioned a free tier cloudflare service for public ips, but have not investigated.

Almost certain I’m doing it wrong (hobbyist), but most versions of vs studio have some kind of cli interface for installing workloads. I’ll fight with that until I figure out which includes the cli compiler tools. Write a script to automate

This is what I hope for. I expected that eventually the right job would expose me to a community with overlapping interests. So far I have been fairly unsuccessful.

This is interesting, since I normally fall on the “let’s keep this approachable” side of things - but in this case I disagree. Maybe I’m just old, but I found using the tools directly very comforting. Learning some static html in a computer

1. Hardware driver support in Linux/bsd. I’ll never suffer another broadcom wireless nic. 2. Accessibility of hardware. Is it easy to open and swap parts? Or do you need to dismantle the whole thing? 3. Availability of replacement part

I haven’t tried this yet, but I’m very excited about this. Virtualizing MacOS is extremely painful, and windows is not fantastic. It would be wonderful to be able to quickly jump in, and build and test a program without a lot of preparation

Baikal is pretty nice as a cal-dav/card-dav server with a UI. I can sync it with gnome evolution, thunderbird, an iphone, and android (but required an app). I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m curious about caldavzap. A web calendar UI tha

That's a good point! If you have your own user account you could dump your .vimrc on there.. but maybe you don't want a lot of vim plugins on a server. Now that vscode has a plugin that uses your local setup to edit files over SSH

Agreed, I like (trying) to understand as much as I can about how my environment works so if/when something breaks I only need to learn the last 30% in a crisis, and I'm already familiar with the core. It doesn't always work,

I guess it depends on your definition of an IDE, and where you're most comfortable/productive. I see a lot of posts about autocomplete, refactoring, linting, tooltips, tests-by-cursor/file, snippets. Thanks to a very friendly

It depends on the production. I think this was especially true on US/CA productions while everything was predominantly hand drawn in the 80s/90s. You'd have key-frame animators that laid out the actions, and in betweening wou

I have a linux phone, and I love it. I love being able to provision it like a server. I love that I can write applications in just about whatever language I want. True, there is a lot of room for improvement - but I'm a programmer, it

khal is excellent. I've been using it alongside vdirsyncer for a couple of years now. I recommend aliasing 'khal calendar' to cal - a quick look at your day, and upcoming events. I also highly recommend khard, which manages c

Yes, certainly. It does not need to be complicated, a little bit of automation can go a long way. If something is tedious, try to automate it. It's faster, more consistent, and frees you up to tackle other fires. Some examples: * publi

Personally, I enjoy changing colourschemes based on where I'm working. Outside on the balcony? Xterm/vim with white background. 11pm in the livingroom? Xterm/vim with dark background. I usually have a browser open when I&#x27

I was a commercial artist for 10 years. The same is true of art. In the visual art world everything boils down to contrast. It may be colour, composition, sequences of shots, silhouettes, animation, or otherwise - but at the end of the day

I'm so grateful this happened over the weekend, when I had time to respond. My girlfriend woke me up and told me the CPU-fan was going crazy in the living room. I realize this isn't the case for everyone. I extend my deepest conso

You can use salt over SSH, but it is not the default.

You may have been lucky, but that was not the case with everyone. Some of the entries appear to be missing, but last night someone setup a honeypot and was posting what they saw. Adding keys to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys, scp
