Also important, will it be available and affordable. I don't much care about arm laptops if they cost an arm (heh) and a leg to buy and then a couple fingers to import into the mythical and exotic land of not-US.

Mac updates are less frequent but take longer. They also restart the machine. One difference though is that my mac never took it upon itself to start an update without asking my opinion.

I wrote an Ansible playbook to install my zsh stuffs into a remote machine. I don't run it against every machine though, just the ones where I ssh into particularly often and have the freedom to customize the shell.

Man if you actually use proper http status codes instead of returning 200 to every single request no matter the outcome, you're already better than a lot of "senior" developers. If you've written any amount of half-useful readmes or docs or even comments, you're well above the average. If you're aware that git has more than 3 commands, you're well on your way to godhood.

DDNS won't save you from your ISP sticking your modem behind a cgnat and blocking critical ports. Which is not an uncommon scenario at all.

There are ways around it, but it's still not very straightforward. Also often with some significant limitations.

I got one of those. Thing's been a pain. Last time I let it run, it drove into the kitchen, did a small donut over a tiny spot immediately in front of the door, drove back out into the hallway, proudly announced that it had completed cleaning, started towards its charging station, made 2 attempts to park, missed both times, announced that its path was blocked, and just stopped. I absolutely do not trust that thing to be able to do anything unsupervised, at which point why even have a robot vacuum? I don't use it very often anymore.

It was a dependency resolution issue. Npm couldn't install one of the packages without some package.json gymnastics, and those same gymnastics somehow fucked with our debian based images that we use for development. I can't say much more because I honestly don't know what exactly happened. I just diagnosed the issue and forwarded it to our resident node guru, who took it from there.

I recently found myself forced to give a shit, when one of our projects started doing weird shit after switching to an Alpine-based docker image.

It's one of those games that do a magic trick and make time go poof. Very deep, tons of things to do, and extremely moddable with a rich ecosystem. Something you can easily sink hundreds of hours into without even realizing it.

Excellent game overall.

Because it borrows instead of stealing. Its memory management is more ethical.

Someone should photoshop that text in the lower right corner to Stargate or something

The API fees clearly weren't made to make money directly though, it was meant to get rid of 3rd party clients so they could more effectively do what the OP is about.

I use python exclusively when I want to quickly throw some shit together that nobody's ever gonna spend any time maintaining, so that tracks.

It can't exist. You can't launch a new competitor to a mature and well-developed platform and hope to come anywhere near its feature set right off the bat. That's never gonna happen, especially when a lot of the "requirements" you presented there are expensive shit that takes years of hard work to develop. You're gonna have to give them time. And money, as it happens. They're not gonna be able to develop that VR you present as a requirement if everybody refuses to use their platform because there is no VR. It's a catch 22.

The final episode of the latest season goes harder on this issue. This time the turns have tabled though.

Programming is just one part of the whole process of creating software. There's more than just writing code. There's also planning, design, architecture, testing, deployment, maintenance, etc. All that is engineering. Unsurprisingly, people with software engineering training tend to have a more complete idea as to what goes into it all.

Lemmy is not special in that its actively contributing members are a small minority. The majority are, always have been, and always will be occasional participants at best. All social platforms are like that. That's how reddit works, that's how archlinux forums work, that's how your local open mic poetry club works. I'm not going to apologize to anyone for not posting. I'm not interested.

Well I kinda care. Right now lemmy is kinda... boring? The content variety is very limited and the alternatives to the niche communities I enjoy(ed) on reddit are mostly just barren deserts. That's all because of the rather small and relatively homogenous user base. It's a bit too echo chamber-y too.
