If people wanna steal my code they can steal it, it’s why I publish it. It’s not that good anyway

I don’t agonize over every line of public code or anything, I just make it reasonably maintainable and generalized enough to be useful to people who aren’t me. If it’s a throwaway bash script with hardcoded paths and such, why would I put it up anywhere?

Not really, If it’s throwaway then I don’t publish it anywhere.

My open source work is published under my real name because I feel like if someone is running my code, they should know who I am? Also it helps with my CV and such. I don’t go into politics or anything controversial though, keep it pretty professional.

Ubuntu is dead

Kinda showed your ass with this one

‘dd if=image.iso of=/dev/do_not_fuck_this_up bs=4M’ is a complete tutorial

It doesn’t? Been a month or two since I updated the ISO but I’ve never had a problem

If only you and your family are using a service it’s better not to open ports to the public internet anyway. Tailscale or another VPN will solve this nicely and your ISP won’t be able to tell aside from bandwidth usage

Pacdiff does this on arch-based distros

Heathrow is the fucking worst, I hate it so much. No windows, not enough seating because they need the space to sell overpriced cosmetics and luxury watches. Fucking keep your gate a secret until 20 minutes before departure to make sure you don’t sneak off and miss a chance to do a capitalism

Title text: If that doesn’t fix it, git.txt contains the phone number of a friend of mine who understands git. Just wait through a few minutes of ‘It’s really pretty simple, just think of branches as…’ and eventually you’ll learn the commands that will fix everything.

Typescript got a lot easier for me when I stopped even trying to read the error messages

Typescript gives you better suggestions, red squiggles where you would get errors or bugs if you try to run it, more information about whatever it is you’re using that’s defined somewhere else, and some other neat stuff like project-wide renaming that works every time.

no

This thread is amazing. My own fuckups:

• Tried upgrading Ubuntu
• Closed laptop while updating
• I bork bootloaders with concerning regularity
• While experimenting with writing a PKGBUILD for some personal scripts, ignored a warning having to do with a conflict on /bin. Blew away that symlink.

snapper is good software i like snapper

Nothing is off limits, you can change everything

I’ve had exactly the opposite thought - every tutorial or explanation I find starts from scratch with create-react-app or something when I already have a project and I just want to know how to use your library.

So is PowerPoint

This is why linting and static typing are mandatory

Idunno, Ruby was my first language and the other day I was trying to write a one-file script to wrangle some CSV data and even that got irritating. What does this function need? What does it return? Who the fuck knows! Is it even a function? Run it and find out, loser

And I’ve got reasonably popular projects in ruby, I’m not a beginner.

You don’t see most of these errors in situations where screenshots are possible
