  • What’s a graphical piece of software you wish existed or was better?

    跳过

  • I speak standing on a hill if my own dead projects. Just remember personal projects are supposed to be fun and educational, maybe with a little resume padding for good measure. Scratch that itch you can't get to at work. It's great when other people enjoy them, but as soon as they become a commitment, they start feeling like work. To me, at least.

    That's why I think games or little tools are great. They small enough so you can throw them out and start over. People won't get (too) mad if you stop maintaining them (if you open source them) because it's easy for someone else to take over.

  • How this year went

    跳过

  • December: when all the deadlines for end of month, end of quarter, and end of year conspire against you with holidays and unspent PTO -- just in time to prepare for the retrospective reports in January.

  • What’s a graphical piece of software you wish existed or was better?

    跳过

  • I don't have a concrete idea for you, but I suggest starting with something really simple. I think simple games are a good place to start. Or create a front-end for some command line tool to make it easier on beginners. That way you can focus on the UI development you're interested in without getting bogged down in the rest of it.

  • Memory compression is still available today, but it is built in to the operating system.

  • On Linux, Firefox stores site-data in a folder named the same

  • It's a pretty common assumption in software, especially on Linux, that if anyone can access your home directory, then you can't have any expectation of privacy. Some apps make the explicit statement that secrets are stored in plain text because obfuscation would just give you a false sense of security.

    The solution is to encrypt the data on a system level, e.g., with encrypted home directories. You could also create an encrypted volume in a file and store the profile in there. Make sure to protect your private keys with good passphrases.

  • How do people with epilepsy triggered by flashing lights, drive past trees that are backlit by the sun?

    跳过

  • They don't, unless it is sufficiently controlled by medication. A doctor has to sign off that they think you can drive safely. Regulations vary by jurisdiction. Here in Ohio, USA you get a two-part license that says you need a doctor's permit every time you renew your license to say you can continue to drive. Then you carry a piece of the paper (the second part) with your DL.

    For the doctor (neurologist) to be confident that you aren't going to have seizure while driving, you have to have been seizure free for some time, plus maybe have regular EEG scans to confirm that you are not susceptible to seizures while being exposed to blinking lights. The blinking lights are part of the EEG scan. You basically hyperventilate (on purpose) while they flash lights at different frequencies and measure your brain waves. If the response is too severe, you fail.

    Like any condition, epilepsy comes in many forms and many levels of severity. Some epileptics can barely function and can have brain damage from too many seizures. Some people have no effects at all as long as they are on medication.

  • We should all be using dependency cooldowns

    跳过

  • Pinned (major.minor.patch) versions and ignore-scripts should be the default. It's insane that the default is to execute untrusted code from the Internet.

    It reminds me of back when IE would let me download a bat file and execute it

    Do I need a NAS ?

    跳过

  • True open source products are your best bet. TruNAS and Proxmox are popular options, but you can absolutely set up a vanilla Debian server with Samba and call it a NAS. Back in the old days we just called those "file servers".

    Most importantly, just keep good backups. If you have to choose between investing in a raid or a primary + backup drive, choose the latter every time. Raid will save you time to recover, but it's not a backup.

    Do I need a NAS ?

    跳过

  • This is a qualified truth. In theory what you're saying is true but for example with Synology they use their own raid format and while they ostensibly use btrfs they overlay their own metadata system on top.

    Do I need a NAS ?

    跳过

  • Gotcha. I face similar issues with Synology. Their hyper backup format doesn't seem to be standard. I'm considering setting up Borg Backup for offsite so I can restore it onto non Synology devices later.

  • Was this Synology by chance?

  • New Year? In this economy?

  • Heck yeah..Just in time to make a push to finish my CS degree right at the height of the .com boom and Y2K cleanup. The world is my oyster. If I can reuse my current knowledge, maybe go join some startup that actually makes it.

  • That's basically what Musk and DOGE were trying to do earlier this year. So yeah that doesn't seem very far fetched.

  • Do you prefer to work alone or in a group?

    跳过

  • Remote, because my commute would be 140 miles round-trip again. Otherwise I mostly enjoy working in an office with people and I don't mind going in every few months or so.

    Remote is also nice because it actually makes it easier to collaborate with other developers when we can both be at our own keyboards and share screens.

    I work well alone, but I spend a lot in time in calls, either work meetings or collaborating on code. I do enjoy the social aspect of that as well.

    I use AI pretty much every day, but mostly as a search engine/SO replacement. I rarely let it write my code for me, since I've had overall poor results with that. Besides, I have to verify the code anyway. I do use it for simple refactoring or code generation like "create a c# class mapped to this table with entity framework".

  • I don't understand your response. They're talking about SQL the language. To my knowledge, sqlite implements its own dialect of SQL. What am I missing?
