To answer the first question, do whatever works for you, but I’d look at alternatives like Notable. It offers cross platform apps with sync using any desktop file sync service like OneDrive or iCloud.

I personally don’t see a point to using a Jupyter notebook for taking notes. You can create markdown files in Jupyter labs if I’m not mistaken, which is what I’d probably do, but I wouldn’t because I use Notable for that.

I worked at RS during these glorious days. I only had the PS/2 version.

Only if the code base is well tested.

Edit: always add tests when you change code that doesn’t have tests.

I agree with your first point, but pretty strongly disagree with the other two. Code review is critical. Devs should be discussing changes and design choices. One Dev can not be all things all the time and other people have experience you do not or can remind you of things you forgot. Programming language absolutely matters when you’re not the only dev on the team.

I used to think something like this when I was younger. I spent an inordinate amount of time looking for good gui versions of cli tools. I have come to understand that this is not usually the case and cli tools are more convenient much of the time. I would not classify this as superiority complex, unless I’m being a jerk about it. I don’t care what you use, I just use whatever has the lowest barrier to entry with the most standardization, which is usually the original cli tool.

That said, jetbrains git integration is awesome.

Sure, but it seems you missed the point of the article.

Fake bot detected.

I forgot how stunning this game can be.

I hope that building and fusing is a one time thing.

When I look at the many communities with the same names, I completely stops me from interacting with them. Most of the time I know they’re going to be copies of each other with a bunch of duplicate content reposted to infinity.

I think your example is interesting but i disagree with your assertion that it some how facilitates finding niche content.

For example it would be difficult to have to explicitly know that obscure-instance.xyz/c/games hosts content about 90’s graphic adventure games from the Netherlands and programming.dev/c/games is actually about game design and not games generally. A better way, IMO, is to just name your community what it is. Names likeadventure_games_nl and game_design offer a significantly better user experience. If we want to make the fediverse feel accessible to people, it has to be easy to find what you’re looking for.

This whole thing feels like crypto where everyone has their own coin and they only kind of work together if you have some kind of exchange and some people accept Bitcoin and not Doge. It’s just too complicated for non technical people.

It’s hilarious to me that one person looked at this image and disliked it enough to downvote it. Is it the cat? Is it the couch? We’ll never know

I think it may be too late to follow your advice
