I am certainly not one of the younger folks and had never seen that before. That is awesome, thank you for sharing.

I’m not sure Walmart counts as reality.

That was my thought. Am I not a person?

Also, doesn’t the jetbrains license let you continue to use the version that was the latest as of when your license ended. It’s a small difference, but also kinda huge.

I use youtrack. It’s a project management tool. It’s not open source, but does have a self hostable option.

I guess you’ve never heard of the National Organization of Restoring Men.

I swear I am not making this up.

I know you asked about memory, but the computer I just assembled had a 750watt power supply. As an American I think we should refer to it as a “one horsepower power supply” instead.

I feel like most of my googling of simple code is because I know what I’m trying to do, but I don’t remember the correct function name and or language structure for the language I’m currently using.

Clearly this is what we call “self documenting code”.

I usually say “I’m a computer toucher” or “computer programmer” if I don’t want to talk about what I do. If I want to flex some nerd cred, and/or boast a little, I’ll usually say “I work with machine automation” or “robotics”. It tends to get a more curious response and I can talk about some of the weird stuff I’ve helped make.

On my current team, when we were trying to choose a style, my only input was “any style that can be checked/applied with a git commit hook.”

I get some people prefer reading code in a particular format. Let them configure their editor to apply it, but let’s keep the version history in one unavoidably consistent style. Pretty please.

It’s not exactly what I think you’re looking for, but depending on what you are trying to do, maybe look at hackmd/codimd.

It’s more like Google docs meets markdown formatting. It’s goal is realtime collaboration but I’ve definitely used it for syncing todo lists with people.

Codimd is the self hostable version.

Oh, and I think there is a way to have it sync with a GitHub repo too, in case that is useful.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure some compiler settings can change this. I have a fuzzy memory of a bug that went away when compiled with debug flags enabled and the difference was that unassigned variables were being zeroed vs not zeroed.

This reminds me of an article I read about a guy whose last name was Null.

This isn’t it but is the first one I found when looking.

The story is pretty much what you would expect but still an amusing read.

…you mean IF you’ve got infinite time to wait?

My brother also has his own NAS at his house. We sync our media between both of our servers to both share it and to serve as an off-site backup.

Everything else on my nas gets backed up to a cloud provider.

Like you said, it could be replaced it’d just be inconvenient, and media is kinda bulky so cloud storage for all of it would get a little pricy.

I use FreeCAD most of the time, but occasionally I’ll also use OpenSCAD. It’s a different way to think about drawings but in certain circumstances it seems easier.

Thanks 😊

Getting into rust is still on my to-do list, otherwise I’ve no major problem with pip or npm. They both have their flaws, but both work well enough to do what I need them for. If I had to prefer one it would be pip simply to sustain my passionate hate for all things JavaScript.
