I hope compatibility with git submodules gets ironed out soon. I’d really like to have multiple branches of a superproject checked out at once to make it simpler to compare source trees and file structures.

Tagging an image is simply associating a string value to an image pushed to a container registry, as a human readable identifier. Unlike an image ID or image digest sha, an image tag is only loosely associated, and can be remapped later to another image in the same registry repo, e.g latest. Untagging is simply removing the tag from the registry, but not necessarily the associated image itself.

I fell for it. It took me a minute into the game time to figure what was up and double check today’s date.

Private Eye - essential for staying online 24/7

What was that device, an early cellular modem or 802.11 wireless bridge? The thing ontop of the briefcase looks like a head visor with an antenna. Google search keywords are just noise.

Call it WebOS or something.

Kind of off topic, but webOS was in fact a thing, but more of mobile OS alternative to android and iOS, first developed by palm, the bought by HP, then sold to LG.

It had a small but active homebrew community, with the HP touchpad being one of the early tablets on the market with an unlocked bootloader and Linux support.

Scrum 's a thing that can’t get no love from me

Woops, yep.

Pro tip: If you check the conical URL (youtube.com) first, the Lemmy web UI will help catch reposts before they are accidentally submitted.

I switched from using the short (e.g youtube.be) or external URL mirrors for that same reason, and just let the bots comment with privacy mirrors for those who prefer. Using the conical URL, aside from cross post detection, also ensures the thumbnail image and preview text get cached consistently.

Windows 11 (and 10?) supports multiple desktops. Only in the shape of a 1xN grid through, like a 1D array. Still handy for multitasking:

Have you tried multiple virtual desktops, or do you prefer to have a single alt-tab stack of windows? I love using a 3x3 grid of desktops, as the special zoning helps me to organize, separate, and spread out my multiple work tasks.

What about a semi transparent terminal window? When I started out learning linux command line interfaces, it helped having the docs just behind my shell session for reference when all I had was a tiny old laptop. But now I don’t bother ricing up my DE anymore. I just want some default window tilling keybindings that work out of the box, and I’m good to go.

Can you imagine the eye strain one would get programming on a translucent screen every day? One where your always having to keep your eyes focused on semi transparent text and graphical interfaces in the foreground, and not the distracting and ever changing background, continuously shifting in parallax as you adjust your head and viewing angle. Not having my display buttressed up against a wall, or having to deal with glare and screen reflections, or even low contrast monitors in general are all things I find infuriating already.

But I guess the Sci-Fi future of ergonomics is holograms. *You must have your migraines, and you must enjoy them.

Could go the other way though. Ask them nicely if they’d be willing to free up their heap of inventory, and if they return you a cart overflow, you know you’ve stumbled upon the ultimate zero day coupon.

I’ve recently been looking into using Backblaze with their S3 object storage for hosting Lemmy, but it looks like they also have personal PC backup cloud offerings. Perhaps you could use them to do both?

I thought this presentations humor was timely with recent events, given how for-profit ventures have been corralling open protocols and FOSS platforms, and may still be a reference that many old programmers would remember.

For a more serious discussion:

• Should programming.dev defederate from Meta if they implement ActivityPub?

Just need to put a JIT compiled language logo inside the blue car and caption it as “Containerise once, ship anywhere”.

Image Transcription: Meme

A photo of an opened semi-trailer unloading a cargo van, with the cargo van rear door open revealing an even smaller blue smart car inside, with each vehicle captioned as “macOS”, “Linux VM” and “Docker” respectively in decreasing font size. Onlookers in the foreground of the photo gawk as a worker opens each vehicle door, revealing a scene like that of russian dolls.

I’m a human volunteer content transcriber and you could be too!

Hello HN! OP, you’ve reached the front page of Hacker News:

This might be good to cross post to !programming_horror@programming.dev … 😱

Could you share the link to that one? Thanks. Looks like this TechCrunch article is sourcing info from emails with advertisers partnered with Reddit, not just from public statements about visitor traffic published by Reddit themselves.

I wonder what the measured metrics are internally. Funny that those earning metrics would’ve been more readily available had they already IPO’ed on the public market.
