What's wrong with Business Insider? Genuine question

I use Jenkins for work, unfortunately, so I have plenty of experience

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (3 children)

FYI, Jenkins has an endpoint to validate the pipeline without running it, and there's a VSCode extension to do this without leaving the editor: https://www.jenkins.io/blog/2018/11/07/Validate-Jenkinsfile/

The WinAmp maybe sorta open-sourcing is interesting. I've never used it (aside from downloading it to get MilkDrop working in Foobar2000).

I feel the same way. Designing good, opinionated APIs is HARD, but it also provides the best experience for both the author and the consumer.

  • Prettier is the undisputed king of JS formatters because it has no options by design. You set and forget.
  • One of the reasons iOS is so successful is because they lock down their APIs and put strict standards on apps, making it hard to write something that doesn't at least look good and slot into the OS well.

Among other examples.

I disagree that procedural generation makes games more boring and repetitive. I think it depends on the game and how the procedural generation is implemented. Look at Noita for example - uses lots of procedural generation, mixed with some handcrafted elements, and it's really fun! Terraria, another similar formula.

Not my cup of tea, but a lot of people love No Man's Sky for that reason - it's fun to explore the crazy combinations.

The original Elite was procedurally generated IIRC, and from what I understand it was super fun (before my time though).

These names are really fun! Good ones to add to my list...

Not my website. Interested to see how this will play out though!

I have questions. Is this something in use today? Who is manufacturing them? Is this something you're personally familiar with or just aware of?

Until I trigger the collapse mechanism, the last comment in a post doesn't have the number of subcomments when it hides subcomments by default. See the below pictures for an example with a specific post, but I've noticed this on every post I've seen recently.

If I reload by pulling down, it again hides the comment number.

Without the comment number after loading the post: Without the comment number

After tapping to collapse the comment, comment count shows: After tapping

Not to disagree with your point about learning git, but you might be interested to know that "all large companies use git" isn't actually exactly true - Facebook/Meta, one of the largest tech companies, uses mercurial: https://graphite.dev/blog/why-facebook-doesnt-use-git

Favorite terminal? iTerm2 on mac, hands-down. Wish they would port it to Linux.

On Linux though, I usually end up using guake, as I like having easy drop-down global access to my terminal.

Nice to see that BitWarden's UI is getting some love... I tried using it a while back but couldn't get past the terrible UX. Been happy with 1password since but maybe I'll try switching again...

My instance has just upgraded to Lemmy v0.19.3 yesterday, but I don't see any of the new features (scaled sort etc). I tried logging out and back in (had to anyway as the subscriptions weren't showing). Switching to a different instance on 0.19.3 shows the correct features, but when I switch back, nothing.

I heard about this project years ago. Cool concept: standardized, interchangeable storage + identity that can be plugged into arbitrary apps. The idea is that your identity is tied to your data, and your data can be hosted anywhere so you can retain control over your data or use a simple provider. It was also created by Tim Berners-Lee, creator of the web.

However, it doesn't seem to be gaining traction anywhere, even in the already-niche self-hosting community. From the GitHub (which was hard to find on the website!) I could see that it's being actively developed, including a new website redesign, but everything else seems stagnant. Their newsletter has no updates since 2021. There are only a small handful of apps listed on the site and most of them haven't been maintained since 2019 or earlier, and a lot are just things like "solid pod explorer" or "demo app".

Anyone had any experience with it? Or know more about the situation? I would love to see this become more widely used.
