Markdown is my preference. It’s certainly not perfect for formatting. But it’s fantastically simple because it’s barely more than plain text. And it’ll usually look good in the end

If you’d like to learn more about Haptic, why it’s being built, what its goals are and how it differs from all the other markdown editors out there, you can read more about it here.

As others have noted, the app doesn’t work on mobile yet. Anybody willing to share the content here for mobile users?

That basic idea is roughly how compression works in general. Think zip, tar, etc. files. Identify snippets of highly used byte sequences and create a “map of where each sequence is used. These methods work great on simple types of data like text files where there’s a lot of repetition. Photos have a lot more randomness and tend not to compress as well. At least not so simply.

You could apply the same methods to multiple image files but I think you’ll run into the same challenge. They won’t compress very well. So you’d have to come up with a more nuanced strategy. It’s a fascinating idea that’s worth exploring. But you’re definitely in the realm of advanced algorithms, file formats, and storage devices.

That’s apparently my long response for “the other responses are right”

Honestly, I agree with what you’re saying. And yet, conservatives are told that liberals are killing babies via abortion. It’s a bunch of nonsense IMO. But once a person embraces an idea like that, they’ll probably never vote democrat again.

My comment isn’t saying that one side or the other is better. I was explaining why people in the US pick a political party and usually stick with it for a lifetime. It’s because they believe the other side is evil regardless of reality. We have a messed up system.

Edit: well this is ridiculous. I stumbled across this post only 5 minutes after writing this comment. Somehow, it’s actually worse that the random example I offered. I hate our political system. It’s awful.

I recently had an insight on (US) politics that applies here. Our ridiculous two party system is unsurprisingly to blame for this. Both parties encompass both reasonable and terrible ideas. And members of both parties are fed entirely different pieces of propaganda. So republicans are fed the idea that all democrats embrace the worst, extreme ideas that fall under the democratic umbrella. While democrats are fed the idea that all republicans embrace the worst, extreme ideas that fall under the republican umbrella. This makes members of both parties see the other as simply evil and so the opposing party is impossible to embrace. It often doesn’t matter what experiences a person goes through.

The configuration is often committed to the repo. And some repos heavily rely on the precommit actions running before you can push or have pipelines function correctly

100%

I know a guy that considers git pre-commit hooks a form of code injection and thus a security risk. So he disables them on repos he works with. And to be fair, it’s absolutely a viable vector for attacking developer machines. I think a tasks.json fits into that exact same bucket.

These kinds of automations are suuuper useful and I do like to use them. But also review a code base before cloning!

I like that Meta is fined for this bad practice. But why are they paying the state? How does this help anyone that was actually victim of the facial recognition?

I can see an argument based on how state funds help state residents. But it still doesn’t really feel right to me.

A real tangential thought: What if fines claimed by the state didn’t increase the states fund? What if those funds reduced the tax burden of residents from the bottom up?

Well that’s foreboding to say the least.

I listened to a bit of the speech to see if the context helps at all. It doesn’t. He was just asking people to go vote, which is totally fine. But that’s it. Nothing else to warrant a comment like this one. And it sure sounds like no more voting is the plan. Literally. Maybe it’s a thoughtless comment? Yikes

Interesting. When I first viewed this post, there were 3 downvotes and only 2 upvotes. Is this not the type of content that people want to see here?

I’ll check back again later and see if/how those numbers change.

Never do this.

Git is all about tracking changes over time which is meaningless with binary files. They are bloat for your repo, slowing down operations. Depending on the repo, they are likely to change from CI with every commit. That last one means that every commit turns into 2 commits btw. They are can ruin diffs. I could go on for a long time here.

There are basically 0 upsides. Use an artifact repository instead!

Have you tried The First Descendant yet? It’s pretty rough with load times and beats the cap out a graphics card. Is that considered AAA?

Well this was oddly nostalgic for me to read. You immediately reminded of FFVI

I think this is a side effect of sharing and discussion these events online, especially in a link aggregator like Lemmy. You can you see inconsistent views presented in multiple threads yet they feel as if you’re interacting with the same group of people.

Some people are happy about this turn of events while others are not. I expect that you’re seeing differing major opinions from separate groups of people.

lol thanks for the answer. This is the really relevant bit isn’t it? My Linux machines have also never died this badly before. But I’ve seen windows do it a number of times before this whole fiasco.

This is funny timing for me. I mentioned something related to my wife yesterday. When I was a kid, my perception of other countries was completely ridiculous. Low tech, uncivilized, impoverished, etc. compared to the USA. It took way too long for me to achieve a more realistic perspective of foreign countries at large. I’m not sure who to blame for this but the they surely belong to the previous generation or two.

What’s the user experience like there? Are you prompted to do it if the system fails to boot “happily”?

I’m familiar enough with Linux but never used an immutable distro. I recognize the technical difference between what you describe and “go delete a specific file in safe mode”. But how about the more generic statement? Is this much different from “boot in a special way and go fix the problem”? Is any easier or more difficult than what people had to do on windows?

A complicated plugin ecosystem (e.g. Jenkins) makes for a terrible use experience. It’s annoying to configure a bunch of config files. Managing dependencies can be a complete nightmare. these problems also complicate your ci/cd.

So I’ll offer a slightly different answer. I prefer a single file instead of splitting up the config. And I’ll use OpenTelemetry as an excellent example of why. the plugins are compiled right into the app binary. This offers a ton of advantages, including a great reason to merge all of your app configs in a single file.

This really only works well if you have a good app though.
