It lost its cool

such linux, very pizza

dafuq?!
your colleague is making python look bad. very bad.
I'd throw a pylint + mypy combo at him/her -
itertools-more for python
lodash for js
So here I am promoting darling libs when OP asks for advice on how to *stop* using libs.
But seriously, anything beyond rich, functional, composable routines for the base language data structures is just adding cruft imho.
The vast majority of the rest of libs worth a look are highly specialized computation / IO abstractions.
The rest are just code organizers. -
So what's your preference?
A regular dev job where you'll just be making some rich assholes even richer OR busting your ass in a startup hoping it'll make it OR educating fellow humans?
I went with (1) and (2) so far, and while the financial outcomes are pleasing, I still kinda envy the stable life of my tenured friends. Plus interacting with young people and seeing them through their growth has a certain moral zing to it. -
Add port knocking to the setup for heightened levels of paranoia.

care to share some details? 3rd party rom, or... ?

The hardware is great tho. Also got a MBP for work. Managed to use OSX for 3-4 months, then replaced that garbage with Arch and I'm happy camper.

@ethernetzero In this particular case, it was neither.
Marketing just wanted a quick campaign site, for which it's totally fine to use WP (we cannot ask them to edit *markdown* files, can we?)
Then the thing turned into their main website with full backing from the mothership corpo, quickly establishing itself in the "elephant traffic" category.
Also note this happened quite a while ago before the hipster go-rust-node static site generator mania, when django was just a giant security hole and nobody had time for RoR.
So there you have it: WordPress -
Have you tried stow for managing dotfiles? I know, the perl dependency is annoying, but most linux distros include it anyway.
Also, python your way out of bash if you don't want to be the only one being able to grok those scripts. Here's a nice video on the topic: https://youtu.be/Jd8ulMb6_ls -
Nor do you need 26.1GB of virt memory to compile flow...
A raging alcoholic. -
Gnome toolbar, window title, idea menu, idea breadcrumbs, idea tabs => there goes 1/4 of your vertical real estate.
The good news is you can get rid of all those :) -
Jon Snow?

I know! You were typing your username in all CAPS, weren't you?

There used to be an article on /. every 3 months about a major breakthrough in energy storage / density.
Yet somehow the new tech still fails to show up in consumer devices so it's 2018 and phones last for a day or two, laptops for a fraction of a day.
WTF -
Seriously, an AWS certification??
We just took Python and rolled our own Cloudformation-like deploy API with it.
Severe psychological damage because of the eventual clusterfuck consistency of their so-called APIs, but I still think it would fare much better than any certification in terms of experience. -
WhatsApp used to be really good before facec**t happened.
1+ billion accounts with an engineering team of 25 people, they made everyone not using Erlang look silly.
Anyway, hope you're happy at the new jobby job. -
Hmmm, now I'm seriously considering writing a package inspection tool for arch that sniffs out electron-powered "apps" and prevents you from installing such utter garbage.
-
Well it's kinda hard to power an app with just a harddrive. (EBS)
Jokes aside, I subscribe - AWS is a giant ball of mud with the shittiest APIs, atrocious UI and unparsable error messages. It can cause irreparable psych damage, so beware. -
Boss is smart guy/gal.

@codelord do you keep some sort of global counter for WPM?

@KittyMeowstika Found some more stuff that might prove relevant to your research: https://iot.stackexchange.com/quest...
-
@KittyMeowstika Well, you can always relax the "real-time" requirements a bit and batch updates over the cell network so the 2g/3g modem ends up staying in low-power mode.
But it's definitely doable - a quick search shows that not only it has been achieved, but there's already healthy competition in this space: https://thepawtracker.com/blogs/... -
Power management would be my first concern here because of the permanently-on gps receiver + the mobile radio.

@TheOct0 Glad to supply your esoteric fix haha
No, I don't think donations can go towards users, but ++ bombs can. :P
You can, however, support the whole community for less than half a coffee / month. -
Why not skip directly to fetlang?

Oh man, you mentioned wordpress...
Total PTSD trigger b/c we used to do the total cache plugin, god save our souls. -
@platypus Don't forget monoid, semigroup and kleisli :P
But it's funny, most of the stuff you enumerated are _features_ in FP languages and not necessarily patterns.
