As much as this hurts, yeet; as an alias throw; is hilarious

The technology behind the registry is fine (which is what I think @VinesNFluff meant)

But it’s execution in Windows was ass

In theory, a configuration manager with DB-like abilities (to maintain relationships, schematic integrity, and to abstract the file storage details), isn’t a bad idea

But the registry as it is today is pure pain

Sanity checks

Always, always check if your assumptions are true

• am i even running the function?
• is this value what i think it is?
• what is responsible for loading this data, and does it work as expected?
• am i pointed at the right database?
• is my configuration set and loaded in correctly?

I’ve never done that in my life

Software dev here,

It doesn’t stop you from typing code, but it does drastically hinder the process. You often need to pull up technical documentation (for the language, framework, platform, etc), or search the internet for things, like “C# HttpClient how to serialize JSON with a different naming policy”

Not to mention, if any of your dev resources are online, no Internet prevents you from running your code. Like, if you need to connect to an S3 bucket, AWS instance, or Azure Database

I’ve been running Linux for 4 years, but this still hurts to read

Always copy what you have written, so you can paste it and continue typing where you left off

I mean, you just need to look at the conflicting files, fix up the code, then stage those changes and pop a new commit

There’s no “special” merge conflict resolution commit “type”

As for fixing the code itself, I usually look at what changed between both versions, and then re-author the code such that both changes make “sense”

Only eggs can sustain me

I’ve had no issues with @pawb.social and Voyager

Once in Uni, I had a class switch rooms, but I was still using the old schedule

It wasn’t until the wrong prof came in and started talking about math that I realized “this isn’t my CompSci 210”

Any time you feel that sinking feeling especially while browsing c/all or such, close the app and do something else

Doomscrolling is not worth your sanity

This is the reason I recently unsubed from a bunch of meme threads on Lemmy. They were a non-stop barrage of political doom posting.

Understandable, given current events. But it was too much for me

What about quaternions?

Cats are toddlers that can reach the ceiling

Can we never joke about sensitive topics?

Isn’t humor like, our primary coping mechanism for dealing with dark topics?

Maybe the light in the dash was shorting, causing the light to turn on on its own

And screaming was juuuust enough to cause the short to break connection?

It’s either that or ghosts

that is a little more complicated

p.communicate() will take a string (or bytes) and send it to the stdin of the process, then wait for p to finish execution

there are ways to stream input into a running process (without waiting for the process to finish), but I don’t remember how off the top of my head

from shutil import which
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE, run
from pathlib import Path

LS   = which('ls')
REV  = which('rev')

ls   = run([LS, Path.home()], stdout=PIPE)

p = Popen([REV], stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE)
stdout, stderr = p.communicate(ls.stdout)

print(stdout.decode('utf-8'))

nushell is pretty good. I use it for my main shell

although, i still prefer writing utilities in python over nu scripts

just use python instead.

• wrap around subprocess.run(), to call to system utils
• use pathlib.Path for file paths and reading/writing to files
• use shutil.which() to resolve utilities from your Path env var

Here’s an example of some python i use to launch vscode (and terminals, but that requires dbus)

from pathlib import Path
from shutil import which
from subprocess import run

def _run(cmds: list[str], cwd=None):
    p = run(cmds, cwd=cwd)

    # raises an error if return code is non-zero
    p.check_returncode()

    return p

VSCODE = which('code')
SUDO   = which('sudo')
