I work outside all spring, cool summer days, and a lot during the fall. 8 hours or more out there, hacking away, taking Zoom calls. I have a decent time with sunglasses and my MacBook Pro.

I can’t straight up “quit Reddit” for Lemmy yet. There’s not enough of the content I want to see here, yet.

A while after Reddit practically blocked the Apollo app, I realized just how much I loved that app. It was the perfect Reddit interface. Not long after, I discovered how great Voyager did of replacing the experience, and that’s what ultimately brought me here “permanently.”

So, Reddit has lost browsing time from me big time, and that time is now shared with Lemmy.

Also, I love a good Rust project 🦀

lol _new(3) gives me some flashbacks

Rooted in reality Astronaut: Always has been.

That’s fair!

Or, it appeals to people that have had had to take over an old codebase where the comments were all lies.

“Code never lies. Comments sometimes do.”

The few times I’ve used Postman, I found myself doing everything I needed in Python shortly afterwards. It’s not cURL, but it could easily be such; I prefer the self organized “text” interface of code.

I have never once understood these sock references and jokes. Never seen a programmer wearing thigh high socks. Never associated socks with specific programming languages.

What’s the punch that I’m missing here?

This same type of cable setup can be found in the Philippines as well.

Okay, so I’m not using an extension in Zed* (but am using vim mode btw)

VS Code at work, Zed at home.

Despite Zed crashing my laptop every once in a while, it’s been a refreshing change-up from VS Code.

I use a vim extension in both btw…

After experiencing wrist pain, really bad, I moved to a vertical mouse. It seemed to help, but I eventually moved to a Kensington Expert trackball and I’ve never looked back. I swear by them.

Thanks. I wrote that myself for our visually impaired Lemmy lurkers. 🤙

Docker enables you to create instances of an operating system running within a “container” which doesn’t access the host computer unless it is explicitly requested. This is done using a Dockerfile, which is a file that describes in detail all of the settings and parameters for said instance of the operating system. This might be packages to install ahead of time, or commands to create users, compile code, execute code, and more.

This instance of an operating system, usually a “server,” is great because you can throw the server away at any time and rebuild it with practically zero effort. It will be just like new. There are many reasons to want to do that; who doesn’t love a fresh install with the bare necessities?

On the surface (and the rabbit hole is deep!), Docker enables you to create an easily repeated formula for building a server so that you don’t get emotionally attached to a server.

Thanks. I’ve legit never understood how to navigate Twitter. Both Twitter and Snapchat gave me a good dose of what I imagine my grandmother feels when faced with operating a desktop computer…

Is this a real post? I can’t seemed to find it on that website “X, formerly known as Twitter.”
