  • From my understanding Redis hasn't been libre software since 2018 so the new competition from Microsoft might be a driver for the licensing decision.

  • I will upvote this every time I see it. Cross-post, re-post, doesn't matter. I'm going to upvote it.

  • This isn't a good assumption for researchers.

  • "Pirate for it" was probably the wrong phrase. "Plan for it" was probably what you were thinking when your fingers did something else.

  • This is huge. Unfortunately, as you indicated, there's no standard tool for this and new ones are being added to the mix. Many in the science feilds are pushed towards Conda but I'm not sure it's the best option. However, Conda will be infinitely better than not using anything to manage environments and dependencies.

  • Do you want to work as a developer? Or do you want to want to continue with your research and analysis? If you're only writing code for your own purposes, I don't know why it matters if it's conventional.

  • Oh. I'm already on that. (I cracked your code 😂) I thought you meant another one.

  • You're going to set up a new lemmy instance?

  • I'm not convinced it will make a difference one way or another. The people on Threads will largely not opt in to federation when they have the option and those that do generally won't look for programming communities on Lemmy.

  • That link had no issues loading the HTML

  • The obvious answer is to subtract 1 before applying the scaling factor.

  • It sounds like you're describing a normal mentoring relationship.

  • Get started, make mistakes so you can learn. The best stack is the one you use to build things with. If you want to learn a new tool, use it. Otherwise, use what you're familiar with.

  • Sign in with Google/Facebook/etc. bypasses the problem that ActivityPub isn't all that popular (this may change with Threads but it's unclear how that will play out). But I also think you're overstating the hesitation most people have in creating an account for a service. Also, being a hobby project, it doesn't necessarily need to be or desired to be popular right away. It doesn't need to have all the features right away. It doesn't have to be built in one try or architected perfectly.

  • Building a house (or any construction project) is notoriously impossible to be on schedule and on budget too.

  • Knowing nothing else about you or the new job offer, it makes sense to take the offer. But I'd rather know more than the information you've presented. The good news is that you do know more and can better determine if there are mitigating circumstances that make turning down the offer make more sense.
