Same. I'm thinking of cancelling my subscription and just sticking with what works. I'm not sure I had a really useful update in a while.

What are you doing to get into dependency hell? Never had that problem. Are you running "pip install" in your venv at will?

Yeah, that also on them for allowing endless trials. Some people are ruthless and you must adapt to that. If you don't, you can't cry foul. It really isn't that difficult to say "no" or add a clause that the trial is once only and any lying to get multiple will lead to a ban and possibly monetary consequences.

Right now, the jetbrains IDEs are my favourite because they are proper IDEs, not some editor with a bunch of scripts in a trenchcoat pretending to be an editor. But the company is starting to lose touch with its customers: developers who want an IDE for productivity, not a VS Code lookalike. It's like the company is finally being taken over by managers who don't know lick about development and it's starting to show (at least to me).

Now, I'm on the market for a new editor and even willing to pay, even though I'd prefer paying for an open source IDE. Right now, Zed is looking interesting. The only thing that bothers me is how loud people were about it. Hype destroys my faith in stuff as it's often just good marketing. Another thing that bugged me is that when they started, they were "Mac first, Linux maybe". But now that the hype has died down, there's much less "omg, zed is the new editor and it will be better anything else" type posts, and it supposedly works on Linux, I can give it a try.

Execs that float this shit can suck it. If they don't want to hire, don't let them saddle you with more work. I work my hours, do what I can and clock out. If they ask for more, I tell them what I'm working on, how much it takes, and when their stuff will be able to get slotted in. They can try and squeeze more out of you, but only if you let them. Don't let them.

They can fire you and try to hire a sucker who will - or keep running through suckers that do, but it won't do their company nor their clients good, at least not in the long term. But these people are only around for the short term gains.

Why do people always have to use some freemium offering when there's an opensource, self-hosted or already hosted variant out there? I don't get it. Just riding the wave I guess.

It would've been amazing to have them use Linux and develop that instead. Maybe mailinglists were too slow for them or there's a completely different reason for not picking it. Hopefully someday the architects will be interviewed to reveal the reasons.

At least this will bring competition, but app devs will be taking the short end of this. Yet another OS to support.

I honestly thought this was going to be a post about how they finally are going to trademark nix and the logo. Can they even trademark it? My feeling is that "nix" is just too ambiguous a term to trademark.

What I'm curious about is what their testing looks like. It can't stay the same because it will be worthless.

And this has a paywall, OP. Can't tread the full article.

Do you want a serious answer or is this going to turn into yet another joke response about how dumb I am and how you'll be extra "original" to copy every comment of mine into an LLM for training data?

Source forges like Gitlab, Gitea, Forgjo, Github, and others do not allow directly leaving comments on code. However, they all do allow leaving comments on pull/merge requests and individual commits. This unfortunately doesn't work for snippets like Gitlab Snippets, Github Gists, etc. .

We can however use these to our advantage and use workarounds in order to make certain parts of our code reviewable:

Snippets

Create a repository to host your snippets (if you don't have one already), add your snippet of code as one commit to the repository (can be in a throwaway branch, the master branch, whatever). Share that commit link!

Larger changes

If you have code that belongs together, it is already in your repository, and is spread out over multiple commits, fear not! Once again, you can use the power of temporary branches. With these methods you can even have your entire repo reviewed.

A commit to review

Create a new branch, delete the parts of the code you want reviewed, create a revert commit, and share that link!

A PR to review

This requires 2 branches. If you've read the steps above, you already know where this is going.

Create a branch (deleted), delete the code and commit it. Create a new branch (revert) from this point and revert the previous commit. Now you can push both branches to your source forge and create a new merge request to merge revert into deleted.


If you have other tips, share them!

 

Many of us write opensource code in a void: nobody ever looks at it, uses it nor reviews it. We are the only users and authors.

In order to improve, where can we get our code reviewed? I don't mean professionally, just from like-minded individuals.

 

This is a discussion on Python's forums about adding something akin to a throws keyword in python.

Where are Purism, System76, Tuxedo Computers, Starlabs, SlimbookES, and others? Instead there's Dell, HP, ASUS, and Fujitsu...

 

You too can contribute to I2P, fellow anonymity supporter

https://www.ovhcloud.com/en/vps/

Pick Ubuntu 22.04 as your OS and follow the instructions on https://geti2p.net/en/download/debian

You can ssh -L 7657:localhost:7657 ubuntu@yourhostname, login with the password you from the link you got in the email, then open http://localhost:7657 and configure your I2P instance. For the bandwidth, you can enter 12500 up and 12500 down (100Mb/s = 12500 KB/s) with a 90% share (if you aren't using the VPS for anything else).

You can also add more tunnels on http://localhost:7657/configtunnels . For more information on tunnel types (exploratory and client) see https://geti2p.net/en/docs/how/peer-selection .

 

Like a TUI version of stuff like in the picture?

Basically a settings dialog with:

  • all nvim options (in sections)
  • a plugin section with
  • installed plugins
    • toggle
    • configuration options
  • available plugins
 

I was wondering why my speed was only about 250KB/s and I think this is why: there simply aren't many high speed nodes in the network!

If you have a VPS sitting around, just spinning, do consider contributing.

With a simple docker-compose

version: "3.5"
services:
    i2p:
        image: geti2p/i2p
        container_name: i2p
        restart: always
        volumes:
            - ./i2pconfig:/i2p/.i2p
        network_mode: host

you can have i2p running in no time. Or follow the official installation instructions

Simply SSH with a local port forwarding to the router console ssh -L 7657:127.0.1.1:7657 $yourHost and open http://localhost:7657/

You can then configure your instance to share bandwidth.
