I was about to reply with a “oh, really? Whoops, I maybe should I have looked a little deeper” and edited for the post title, but I’m not so sure, looking into the first link you posted.
RE: phabricator…I don’t know what that service is or is for, so I can’t comment if there’s any proof therein.
But the “how to submit a patch” page linked has a section that seems to at least suggest that their Github repo is now first-class, per the first line of the section.
You’re right, that’s a distinction I failed to make
I get it…I’ve never been the maintainer of a codebase that’s deployed on trillions of devices, and backwards compatibility is something to be taken seriously and responsibly when you’re that prolific. I do not begrudge SQLite or any large projects when they make decisions in service to that.
However
It always makes me feel oddly icky when known bugs (particularly of the footgun variety) become the new standard that the project intentionally upholds.
So, I will start by saying “Yes, you can do it. It’s not too late and programming is fun and fulfilling”.
However! One thing my experience has taught me in seeing people approach and bounce off programming is: programming is a fail-til-you-get-it type of endeavour. Your first several years will be littered with broken code, because there are a thousand little things you have to bump up against before you unlock one more puzzle piece.
So! If you go for it, persevere! You aren’t a bad programmer, or a slow learner, because you can’t get your code to work. Every single one of us ran into the same issue, and we just had to push through, learn to Google, and try again until it sorta-kinda works. You in 10 years will be embarrassed by what you write in your first years
I want to add to this. I’m not a psychologist, but I have heard a couple times about the term “third place”. It’s this concept that most people have a “place where they live”, a “place where they work”, and then a “place where they socialize”. It has been theorized that the modern working-age population is having trouble with stress and mental health in large part due to the dearth of “third places”.
The “third place” can be, for example, a restaurant or bar that you frequent (think the pub from the TV show Cheers), a book club, a sports club, or, crucially, a church or place of worship.
For Christianity at least, knowing that you were going to see and socialize with the same group of people (who share at least 1 major interest in common with you) every Sunday is apparently quite good for mental health. So, although I am no proponent of certain Western religions in general, I do think their decline has contributed to some of the mental health crises. How much? I cannot say.
After extended sessions of any of the Telltale adventures (Walking Dead, etc), I would spend about 10 minutes post-game with the sense that real-life conversations were like, scripted, and I was navigating by selecting the best option.
Arguably, not a wrong assessment of life, but it feels really gamified when affected
I only know a couple singles, but I get the sense Primus is pretty wacky
Earl Grey with honey and oat milk. Orange Pekoe/English Breakfast with sweetener and oat milk. Chai with milk. Or a straight herbal tea
Putting aside the “should/shouldn’t do” argument, I was also wondering if the code is even viable. I imagine that ‘ls’ and ‘sudo’ are probably pretty ubiquitous, but I bet there exist some Linux installs out there with a different shell than ‘bash’, and some might not have ‘grep’ too. That would lead to some pretty cryptic bugs for the end user, eh?
It reminds me of Last Week Tonight when the last elections were coming up.
You can tell Cody is both wanting to make a comedy show and also scream into a pillow. I think what they’re doing is good, but I imagine the research and writing process is agonizing.
Yeah, I’ve implemented OTP before, and I can think of no way this could be a surveillance move. If they required you use their app because they use a custom solution, sure, maybe, but they’re OTP is currently entirely standard, so you can use a plethora of app (or roll your own in about 14 lines of Python)
I haven’t played it - and the “social anxiety as horror”-slant feels more metaphorical than literal in its marketing - but this makes me think of the game “Homebody” a bit
I kinda feel your pain. A project that I helped launch is written in Typescript technically, but the actual on-the-ground developers were averse to using type safety, so any is used everywhere. So, it becomes worst of both worlds, and the code is a mess (I don’t have authority in the project anymore, and wouldn’t touch it even if I could).
I’m also annoyed at some level because some of the devs are pretty junior, and I fear they are going to go forward thinking Typescript or type safety in general is bad, which hurts my type-safety-loving-soul
It’s not the biggest or best, but I’ve always found the effect on “Always” by blink-182 to be pretty effective
If you aren’t married to Hugo as your solution, I will recommend giving Eleventy.js a look.
It’s a static-site generator, but a good amount of flexibility is afforded by virtue of using pure JS to generate view data (which means that you can do any conversions needed, manually or with NPM packages if needed for more proprietary data formats), and it supports a bunch of templating engines too.
