Can you enlighten us as to an ideal choice?
Do you work with a large team? There is no correct answer for formatting for a team, there is only correct answer for individual person. The line limit 80/120/160 will work for certain people with their setup, but not others. Stuff like using a ultrawide screen with two columns, or code on laptop screen with single column, or code with half screen code editor and half screen browser, etc, there are endless mutation, all of them can benefit from different settings. It is essentially not possible to find the best option for everyone on the team. You may think 120 is the best, but there is no way to prove it. It just worked for you because of your coding setup and preference.
I have a friend who lost data with Backblaze’s backup product. It can always happen. Don't trust a single provider or software. Backups should not be “integrated”, they should be as much apart as possible.
Exactly. I'm starting to understand the push for web UI now that I've started to use qt for a small GUI. I'm sure qt is good for some type of apps. But for my smaller scale project where the graphic interface is not where we want to spend most of our dev time, I'd rather take javascript/react at this point.
Of course, I used the word "secret", but it really is the wrong word. A secret is something you don't tell anyone, because you can't afford the wrong person finding out. The game we play with copyright is pretending that cultural artifacts are secrets, even though culture by definition exists in the transmission from one person to another.

If Steve didn't want me to have his secret at all he shouldn't be selling it to Bob or anyone else.

Maybe, but it might just as well persuade others who value free software ideals to contribute.
> Is this a problem when Haskell is used professionally by software engineering teams?

Yes, large segments of Haskell culture love complex language features and wild abstractions. Unfortunately that mindset seeps into everyday code because key libraries depend on the complex features.

The Simple Haskell movement (https://www.simplehaskell.org/) tried to develop a pragmatic culture but it fizzled. Back when Simple Haskell was active, it was fun watching advocates of complex, abstract Haskell argue against straightforward programming that normal developers can understand.

I think incorporating knowledge from other apps is a good next step because the model definitely lacks the context of what is going on right now. The nature of instant messaging is that most of the messages are about what is happening right now or what will happen in the near future, so past communication history does not help much.
These are problems you've been having with Plex?

I use it daily, and have no trouble with either the macOS web player (in Safari), nor the Apple TV app, in general.

That said, I do sometimes have trouble with certain media acting a bit squirrely when it tries to auto-convert them—in particular, one show we've been watching recently we had to start, then quickly scrub back to the beginning or it wouldn't play sound.

Then I re-encoded it manually using Handbrake and replaced the wonky copy with that, and it's been fine ever since. (And, of course, since I'm using a 2011 Mac mini to actually run Plex, there are some shows I have to preset to optimize or it won't be able to keep up with playback, but that's just the kind of thing one has to expect with this sort of setup.)
> we're giving that effort, that learning, that struggle (and its impact on us) to unaccountable entities

Boy did this ring true. We're engaging with parties that are able to exhibit an immense amount of power over our lives, and have NO skin in our game: we'll be the ones left cleaning up the pieces after their party is over.
> Unused definitions, type declarations, etc. are compile-time errors.

This is disappointing. One my main grievances with Go is that it's very difficult to prototype code because it won't compile with unused variables. It massively slows down development. It annoyed me so much that I eventually forked the Go compiler and made a version where unused variables are only a warning.
I don’t think so. I just got it back from Sony and I would guess that when they replace the power supply, they would also blow out any dust.
This is really cool and I've already found a couple of lines that went further than I realized. This is going to make me use trains more!

On that note, one feature that would be really helpful is if I selected a particular train, that it would show me where the stations are on that line. Maybe the train company would even give you a commission if I clicked through and bought a ticket.

I could imagine this sort of thing having an impact on a scattered group here and there, but these are not static groups. Why would a member who joined 10 years ago would give a shit about doubling down for the sake of the reputation of the same group from 40 years ago?
The opposite of burnout - rust out - can be a serious problem for good devs in large orgs where it's impossible to get anything done. Just fill the downtime by working on side projects, hobbies, fitness, etc. Even still it can be draining achieving nothing at work.

That pretty much describes long distance North American rail generally. At least in the US, I'd add that it's not only slow but could be delayed by a day or more. I've occasionally toyed with the idea of taking one of those trains for at least part of their route but I have a feeling that it's one of those things where the idea >> the reality and it would get pretty old once the novelty wore off.

Later this year I'm going with a more luxurious version instead (ocean liner).

My experience translating a codebase from Python to Golang (chat application), is that 20k of Python really does translate to around 40k of Golang to get the same functionality.

And it’s not just due to language but also expressiveness of the library ecosystem.

IMO, all code can be fixed. Especially if large groups of people agree upon the problems with the code. Its the politics / contradictions at the social level that leads to true difficulties.

Mastodon has proven that these moderation issues can be solved. The question is if the Lemmy devs (and community) can politically agree that Mastodon-like moderation tools are a good idea to prioritize. That's where I'm worried.

I guess its not a big deal because there's bigger fish to fry right now, so to speak. (Plenty of simpler bugs that everyone agrees upon). But eventually, the fundamental user-tracking / karma-system / vs defederation / design of anti-trolling tools becomes political and ideologically based. What happens to the community then?

Hard for me to say. I hope that the overall community accepts the problem and agrees its a problem worth fixing (even at a slight tracking / anti-anonymity features getting pushed to Lemmy-core). If not, maybe the problem can be solved with bots (aka: IRC) that helps track Karma-like scores and whatnot across servers and helps auto-moderate content that enters a particular server or even community/sublemmy.

I think I can "imagine" solutions to these problems. But what I can't foresee is what the community will deem an acceptable solution or not.

-------------------

Mastodon is a very good model though and has led the way by showing what kind of tools are needed to curate a community. I see that Lemmy kinda-sorta wants go to about things a different way though.
This is baloney, and it's pernicious baloney.

If you're going to cite a YouTube video of TV news as your source... I hardly know what to say.

Any large dog can be dangerous. They are, after all, carnivorous predators. Proper training and handling are the key responsibilities of any owner of a large dog.

So spare us the clickbait, and before you go quoting some unrefereed published number of bites by breed, at least do some rudimentary arithmetic and divide by the number of dogs of each breed in the sample population. So-called "pit bulls" are the most popular dog breeds in the United States, far outnumbering any other single breed.
Why bother repatriating to VMware? It's probably more expensive.
"Defaults are useful" was IMHO the biggest mistake Go made. I understand that it made the language a lot simpler but this was a simplification that ended up moving the complexity to the user, rather than just removing it.

I have seen so many bugs caused by default values, production outages. Plus the code is harder to understand because you need to consider the default value case, and make sure that it is only left at the default when intended, not by accident. (And the linter probably can't warn you because it isn't wrong to have the default value live in one path through the code).

One of my favourite things in more strongly typed languages is just adding a field to a struct then having the compiler point out everywhere that I need to make changes. The strictness both prevents bugs and saves time. Plus the code doesn't need to worry about invalid structures, you can often write code such that they literally can't exist.
Nope. It's important to use the right word in this case for 2 reasons. First is the trivial semantic one you've perceived; addiction has a definition and things like physiological withdrawl symptoms don't exist for behavioral disorders. They aren't addictions.

The second, more important, is that even if we rename it properly to "internet disorder" there's still not significant evidence for making it a behavioral disorder. This is backed up by the lack of inclusion in the DSMV updates and ICD10 updates or 11 just released. People have certainly tried to have these things included: their income depended upon it. But the science rejected it.

You could also make the same correlations between autism spectrum disorder and the rise of popular (ie, non-usenet, irc, etc) social networks online. But it obviously wasn't caused by it. It was caused by a better identification of the phenotype and more accessible treatment. I think the claimed and unverifiable "increase in bad mental health/etc/etc in teens" is much of the same.
But again isn't the fact that, "perceptions of ability were positively related to actual ability, although in this case, not to a significant degree" an interesting result? Not the fact that they were related, but the fact that they mostly weren't! That does demonstrate the core result as I understand it, that people are little better than random at evaluating their own performance, which was a surprising finding.
I agree with your generalization now that I give it some thought. Even for topics I have little interest in or know little of, creative solutions are enthralling.

Your latter assessment is why even arbitrary limitations commonly inspire interesting gameplay and art style IMO. I quickly grew tired of Assassin's Creed and similar open world games; in contrast, games like The Messenger can pull me in immediately.

The (admittedly few) game jams I've actually completed had limiting restrictions (i.e. 8/16-bit art/gameplay). Two things make me more productive/creative than normal: looming deadlines and limitations.
My sense is that lay-people believe the LLMs are essentially googling things in the background. The idea that they are not connected to the internet is unfathomable.
>But you know, if you are trying to put HTML templates in separate files, you have to now send extra HTTP requests.

In my low labor cost neck of the woods VMware employ a lot of people. I wonder if they will pick up hiring and shift work from US/UK here or will decimate the current offices too. Or both and work current people here to the bone. It's broadcom after all.

I wish I had the cycles to better integrate with my Remarkable 2 tablet. Or to go in harder on the Kobo that I love, but I'd need to try & embrace the new Elipsa which has input. Longer run, I want these devices to be part of a ubiquotous & pervasive computing!

Yes there are independent apps that access the same cloud data-stores. And while there's sync, my active context doesn't sync: I need to go re-navigate to whatever is open on the other device, if I want to change screens. The idea of a second screen to me also ideally includes just drag and dropping stuff over there.

I've dabbled a couple times with the idea of getting a dedicated drawing tablet. Wacom Cintiq 16 is onsale for 33% off for bfcm. ;) I also have and love my x86 tablets, and could certainly use them as good second displays. I think the battery life is probably good enough. It charges at a good enough ratio I hope (1 hour to 85%?). Wireless charging could help the general situation for folks.

The hard part though is software. The app dev challenges are already huge. I should probably try running Excalidraw & using the pen with it: that might get me very far along! But underneath the app-dev challenges, I just feel like we're missing so many cornerstones of computing that I'd want to have in place before approaching this second screen challenge well. I really want to be in the fray of this ubicomp world, first, before worrying about the apps.
I'm confused by this article. They seem to equate the scene with p2p. Admittedly I did only skim read TFA.

He was right. And perhaps frighteningly so:

"For the Internet to thrive, content providers must be paid for their work. The long-term prospects are good, but I expect a lot of disappointment in the short-term as content companies struggle to make money through advertising or subscriptions. It isn’t working yet, and it may not for some time."

And while he stared with the bells and whistles, it was already surveillance and engagement back then, never truly about information:

"In the long run, advertising is promising. An advantage of interactive advertising is that an initial message needs only to attract attention rather than convey much information. A user can click on the ad to get additional information-and an advertiser can measure whether people are doing so."
Yes it is, but the reason that it is so ridiculously low is because of politicians in Indiana. Republican states tend to heavily favor corporations and business over individual workers.

>There seem to be a lot of hobbies or activities like beekeeping where people seriously neglect the animals' needs yet seem quite oblivious to it.

Reptiles are notorious for this as well. I am an avid fan of snakes, and it's depressing to see how often they are kept very poorly. So little humidity that they have multiple layers of stuck eyecaps - potentially losing their vision. Serious infections from bites from live-feeding. Tiny cramped enclosures with nowhere for the snake to hide. Poor heat management that either leaves it freezing or with serious burns. Overfeeding to the point of obesity. Buying wild-caught animals. Buying snakes with severe genetic problems.

It's very frustrating. Some owners are responsive to advice and will quickly do what they can to improve their care - but some are stubborn and won't accept any at all.
An absolutely ungodly number of people smoke in Europe. I feel like in the us it's sort of become trashy to smoke traditional cigarettes.
It's not all that shiny. Web components have global names (you should pretty much apply a prefix/namespace if you want to work with others) and managing multiple version of the same component in the same page is an issue in any non trivial codebase (either use a different name per version or fix all breaking changes at once during the upgrade, unless the draft about scoping web elements became standard https://github.com/WICG/webcomponents/blob/gh-pages/proposal... )
Tesla could buy land, develop it with roads, and build a fleet for testing. They can get to multiple 9's of reliability before the need for public testing, over the course of a few years and tens of thousands of testing hours. Obviously, that would have a worse effect on the bottom line versus charging customers $10-15k for the "privilege" of being beta testers.

It couldn't have a minimum before generics. The function was not expressible in the general case. So they either would have had to add `minByte`, `minInt`, `minStr`, ... or make it a builtin generic. And every builtin is an admission that the language was not powerful enough, so those are kept to a minimum.

People use ultrawide screen, with half screen dedicated to browser, half screen for code editor, and two columns open in editor. This is very modern setup, and 80 is perfect for it. Don't limit your thinking to your own setup.

I think discussion on the perfect limit on public forum is non-sense. It might be slightly less non-sense to discuss it with your team, but even that I think it is bike-shredding most of the time, unless the entire team for some reason (like they share the same equipment setup and happen to have same preference) overwhelmingly share the sentiment.

> HTML(Div(Strong(text))) is terrible*

Oh, it is much worse than that. By classic default it is:

React.createElement('div', { /* props and attributes ... */ },
React.createElement('strong', { /* ... */ }, text))

Recent updates and other JSX frameworks simplified the name of `React.createElement` to just `jsx` or `h`. I've seen projects that manually write `h` calls like that everywhere, and it is indeed terrible.

I’d love to see one of these dexed-based devices designed with knobs to control the operators and envelopes. FM can create some gnarly sounds.
