  • Maybe they should ban trowing away your trash instead.

  • Capitalist perfection: you are paid for cycling, don't do anything else!

  • How programmers comment their code

    Jump

  • One example for self documenting code is typing. If you use a language which enforces (or at least allows, as in Python 3.8+) strong typing and you use types pro actively, this is better than documentation, because it can be read and worked with by the compiler or interpreter. In contrast to documenting types, the compiler (or interpreter) will enforce that code meaning and type specification will not diverge. This includes explicitly marking parameters/arguments and return types as optional if they are.

    I think no reasonable software developer should work without enforced type safety unless working with pure assembler languages. Any (higher) language which does not allow enforcing strong typing is terrible.

  • How programmers comment their code

    Jump

  • I have worked on larger older projects. The more comments you have, the larger the chance that code and comment diverge. Often, code is being changed/adapted/fixed, but the comments are not. If you read the comments then, your understanding of what the code does or should do gets wrong, leading you on a wrong path. This is why I prefer to have rather less comments. Most of the code is self a explanatory, if you properly name your variables, functions and whatever else you are working with.

  • Same question on reddit a while ago

    As suggested there, I recommend to use a multimeter to identify the power socket pins. Roughly half of them should be ground. Most or all of them should correspond and be connected to the SATA power connector pins on the other side.

  • +1 on that. The User's guide of a similar device (source) mentions a 10-pin CPLD connector Reserved for IBM use

  • Phone Link is Microsoft's late and closed source alternative to KDE Connect. It requires you sign in to a Microsoft Account for it to work.

    Jump

  • Maybe scrcpy is the tool for you then.

  • There is scrcpy for that and you can launch arbitrary commands from KDE Connect too.

  • Wow, that's an impressive list of amateur tanks. Do they also sell real cars in the US? (Rhetorical question)

  • Don't make a mistake in choosing a distro

    Jump

  • I recommend "dnf automatic" to fetch the latest package index in background

  • Don't make a mistake in choosing a distro

    Jump

  • Except if you ran the update from within a graphical session and your session crashed, as this will kill DNF, making the update incomplete and potentially corrupting files. I recommend you either:

    • use the graphical updaters
    • run dnf from a TTY
    • or use some of the atomic spins, having atomic updates on btrfs subvolumes

    Jump

  • You can do that, but it is not necessary.

  • Nextcloud or Syncthing - which one do you suggest?

    Jump

  • Syncthing on Android has an option to only sync when on AC battery. The PC client might have a similar option. If not, you could probably configure something similar via systemd or udev under Linux.

    I don't think syncthing has proper means to synchronize contacts or anything else that's not file-based though.

    I use syncthing and prefer it for synchronizing files between my devices.

  • Firefox Browser Blocks Anti-Censorship Add-Ons at Russia’s Request

    Jump

  • Does the add-on work the same way in Chrome? Or does Google break it in a way similar to uBlock Origin with the WebExtensions v3 update?

  • Is this all true for addons available from Mozilla's add-on site?

    PS: Mozilla had to limit installing addons because lots of companies installed malicious addons into browsers of their users, often without knowledge or informed consent of their users.

  • Once again, it's mostly about the money

    Do you have evidence or is this pure speculation?

    How and why should Mozilla get money from Russia? Isn't it more plausible if Russia were blackmailing Mozilla?
