Lego bricks, they are crucial for reasons I won't disclose

@jestdotty I have a "kinda stupid but it works" for finding bits for text based files.
Like you I have way to many projects, and finding the thing I know I have but don't remember exactly where was beginning to happen way to often.
I use Helix editor, and they have build a really good fuzzy finder platform for file names and content of files, [space + /] for finding things inside files [space + f] for finding files by name.
All you need to do is open helix in your projects directory so it can index all files and that's it, you get a list of files and a preview, and most of the time I can recall enough information to fuzzy find my way in seconds, it's great because it requires no effort in labeling things ahead of time - I suck at that.
It has a learning curve if you are not coming from Vim or other similar editors, it's a really good editor, but even if you just use it for finding files it's a really useful tool -
I did work on a larger project with wasm, in current state it's good for compute, for anything else using JS was a better choice.
Building decent UI's with wasm is possible today, but I don't recommend it yet, wait a few years for a spec to be finished as currently it lacks a lot of features you'd want when building web apps.
@12bitfloat mentioned two big ones, memory management and DOM access, and I would add network access to the list - for my projects I will switch once they are supported, I don't like JS, but in the current state wasm is inferior option for anything other than compute -
@antigermgerm Yeah I have appointment scheduled, but I don't think that's the problem, my theory is this:
I was lucky enough to not get sick for a few years and I think my body got used to that. So when I got sick my immune system was not ready and well I spent 5 days laying in bed barely able to stand up.
My guess is in situations like this body starts using all resources it can get to fight and shit starts hurting.
But that's just my theory, I still need to see what my dentist will say -
Fuck, the teeth hurt part reminds me... I was sick couple weeks ago, for some reason my teeth just started hurting for no fucking reason, I spent 3 or 4 nights just trying to sleep but couldn't...
Then, everything went away, no more pain and I could sleep again. Human bodies are weird... -
Go outside, find a decent looking patch of grass, sit down, reflect until you get hungry, eat.
When you do all this steps, setup some kind of sync or backup thingy.
Recovery done :) -
I've realized that for almost all questions this applies: Our world is not simple, don't expect answers to be. Simple answers usually don't tell everything.
This is because well... we as humans kinda suck with thinking and need things simplified because it's usually "good enough". -
Like @ScriptCoded said, use sqlite. The thing is, if you don't need to scale horizontally it will preform really well.
The reason why it performs good is you skip network overhead with sqlite.
The suggestion from @retoor is also something you should consider, even if you chose sqlite.
Having docker images will make way easier to test and hop between cloud providers so you can get optimal pricing. -
@Demolishun Not the point here - if you try downloading windows ISO's from official M$ site you will get waaaaay slower download speed than using their media creation tool. This is the point, intentional handicapping.
And if you try to dare downloading windows 10 iso rather than 11 you might need to wait hours for download to finish.
This is from personal recent experience, my net is fast and was perfectly fine, but download still took hours to complete... -
I tried Zed editor and I stopped using JetBrains IDE's as a result, try it and see if it works for you.
Do note, it you are writing Java or Kotlin you are fucked and stuck with IntelliJ :/
Edit: Zed is far from perfect and still missing a lot of features, but even in this state I'd rather use it than JB's offerings -
Had the same experience many times, all I can say is who ever forced this decision is fucking retarded if they can't imagine a scenario where you really need a flashlight.
Anyway, a "fix" to this is: Always have a white picture saved on your phone and then just max the brightness... it's stupid - but it gets you just enough light to see something
I hate that this is the solution... we live in a word filled with retarded idiotic morons and this is putting it nicely -
@Tounai Agreed. I would even generalize that process you described the best way to learn anything.
Ofc with common sense applied, like don't go breaking nuclear reactors and stuff. -
@retoor I've heard of that, but never met anyone that confirmed it.
And yeah mycelium is wild, calling it a flesh of god is quite accurate :p -
@retoor Interesting, thanks for the info. You sound like an experienced substance user. (this is meant as a compliment)
Also you mentioned experimenting with mushrooms: Did you ever try taking a micro doses for extended period of time? -
@retoor > 3mmc is good to code on
Do tell more please. -
@netikras The network map to the router is: Modem -> Switch 1 -> Switch 2 -> Router -> My PC

@Demolishun Shit dying from a random power outage? Yep, this has never happened to me before

Find an exercise that you enjoy, there is no point in going to the gym if you hate it there. There are so many other options to try, like hiking, climbing, biking, etc.. (Also imo. going to the gym is so fucking booooooring, once novelty of it wore off I started to dislike it - I much prefer other ways of exercise).
-
@kobenz lol, yeah... it's weird, I also noticed that my code in other langs is written more in rust style over the time.
This is my love/hate relationship with it, sometimes you need a padded room to write it and yet I'll miss it when using other langs :/ -
@kobenz Yeah I feel you on this one, what lang do you primary use for your projects?
-
@jestdotty Don't change your view on this, you are right - you should be feeling insecure with untested code.
Anyone that says if it compiles it's fine is a retard, that's the nicest way I can put it.
I should probably mentioned that I worked a lot with Java the past where you get fucked with exceptions at runtime.
At least for me writing rust is more enjoyable than Java. -
I'll preface this with, I write rust code daily and enjoy it;
Rust is a pedantic bitch, always wanting her rules respected and if you dare to go against them it it will fight back.
Just spent half of today trying to make some macros with a specific syntax - that was a fucking waste of time
Yet when it compiles it just kinda works most of the time, pretty much the classic love/hate relationship. -
@j0n4s His brother probably, better watch your back for the rest of your probably shortened life ;)
-
I tough you were talking about weed at first.. well espresso and a joint pair really well from personal experience :p
-
I do have to let everyone know that unicorns are real. All you have to do to see them is take a bunch of random drugs and hit your head really hard :)
-
@theKarlisK Gitea lacks one of the features I like about GitLab - nested directories. Seriously why the fuck does everyone else just provide organizations as a way for having things organized..
I have a few other gripes with it but it's a viable option for smaller teams at this point. -
Forgot to add there were some "abstract" questions prior to this that they just wanted to see how would I approach things. I think senior roles interviews should put a bigger focus on this (assuming the person can code and learn new tech)
-
I think they should, but they should be done differently, I had a great experience with my current company when interviewing:
They presented me with a project that was having an error and the question was "X feature in this service errors out, how would you fix this?"
I spent around 5 minutes to solve the problem and after I was done they just said "You clearly know what you are doing, we use some of the tech that is not listed on your resume are you prepared to learn X, Y and Z for this role?" I said yes and that was it. -
So CI/CD stands for two options you have when developing applications: Continuous Instability or Continuous Destruction, your pick :D
-
@oiledwheels I agree that JetBrains IDEs are not the fastest, but for the functionality they offer I have not found a good alternative.
But also I only use them for coding, for modifying single files and configs I just use vim.
