what the fuck else do you want?
Lol, maybe a max-width on body at least, so I don’t lose my line when reading long lines.
It’s said to have narrow lines helps readeability for a reason.
Although, I agree, you don’t need much to make a website that is functional.
That sample text file, you can save it in the “Template” folder in your home folder, and then you can create a new file from that template with the right click menu > new entry :)
Clojure, can’t stop using it, so fun to use!
Her is my take to try to help you.
If it’s your own code, you can add docstrings comments to your functions, so you don’t have to re-read the function body everytime. Also, name functions to be understandable more easily when possible.
If not your code, write on a piece of paper (not on computer) the in and out of a function, maybe like so:
[1,2,3] -> (sum function) -> 6
Then, you can even connect the functions together and see the whole algorithm:
[1,2,3] -> (sum) -> (multiplyBy2) -> (...) -> final_result
When projects get more complex, paper will not cut it, then some note taking app of some sort will help. (logseq could help, but some mind mapping or sequence diagram programs would help as well)
Also, I don’t know what language your are working with, but learning LISP (maybe clojure) could help.
Why? Because you have to connect your functions together, and it forces you to do so.
At first, it might be harder compared to what you’re used to, but it’ll give you better fundations to keep learing.
Looks nice, I’ll try it today and see how it goes. At least MS doing something good for a change…unless they added spyware to a font!? LOL
Some LISP going mainstream woulb be great!
Good on you to not have to maintain legacy code (15years+). Also, as a comparison, with JAVA, I have a legacy JAVA 1.5 to maintain, as far as you have the runtime, that stuff works, and that’s it. This is how it should be.
Serious Answer: PHP in itself is not that bad, despite some discussable decisions in function naming and arguments order to name a few. The biggest problem, is that it has a settings file describing how it works (php.ini) and that sh*t will bite you in the rear when you move apps from server to server, where all the libs are different etc… PHP never works out of the box when moving something on a new server, that is the worst part of the language.
Meanwhile in APL, you just 20 50 60 90, 10
Great list, but a couple could be added:
Perl made me laugh more that I want to admint…
are you sure you don’t mean the opposite? Because on trackpads, it’s like on touch screen and should go in the same direction no? (I mean, from when I used a MAC, I couldn’t use natural scrolling with a mouse, but loved it with the trackpad…)
yet, the auto updates will restart your computer no matter how many programs were left open…
set margin:auto to your div, and call it a day, no need of flex/grid whatever…
lol, MD5 is NOT a secure password algorithm…
What I like with Linux:
Though, it’s not perfect (I guess I have slight hardware issues on my end), I feel way more relaxed (really) when using Linux than Windows.
recently, I use btop in replacement of htop, really easy to use and pretty to look at.
I submitted a ticket to Steam about some issues I had with their client, and they told be those were addressed in the Beta version.
And all my small issues I had are gone! So I can use Steam with XFCE without issue right now.
Pretty happy, really.
I am switching to XFCE to see how it goes, the fact it is lighter on resources than Gnome is a big plus ;)
A lot of input in the comments, I’ll just add mine in the mix.
I guess wanting to change the OS for someone can be good if:
Now, I would go for Mint anyday instead of Ubuntu, because the default matte desktop feels more confortable when coming from windows.
As for Scrivener, I don’t even know what it is, but Wine is quite good recently, so if you’re tech/linux savy, you could try to make it work.
I am not sure what do you mean. I use fedora with Nvidia (it’s a different repo to activate) and my main rig is for gaming… No problem what so ever. Using Fedora since 37, what a smooth ride.
