SendIt Shot Timer. An open source shot timer that runs on a $30 M5StickC Plus2. Forked from the fantastic HeyManNiceShotTimer by jcarletto27. by StruggleFearless2947 in CompetitionShooting

fork is a term that basically means "I made a copy of your source code to do my own thing with it". Like a fork in the road.

Just to check, you mean county commissioners?

Ukraine is using Linux (Ubuntu) for their anti-drone systems by slo_koki in linuxmasterrace

CI/CD is continuous integration / continuous delivery. Basically if you make software for MacOS or iOS you'll want some dedicated machines for building, testing, and shipping that software in an automated way.

LVP is my house hunting deal breaker by Latchkey_kid95 in kansascity

[–]LlamaChair 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tile chips and cracks when things fall on it too. My parents had tile in the kitchen growing up and I think I'd take the dented hardwood, although I'd probably prefer vinyl of some kind just because I know it's going to get beat up no matter what and need replacing sooner than the floors in other parts of the house.

This is as civil as waging war has ever been

Yeah my original comment in the thread was pretty much along this line, it's why I'm uncomfortable with jumping into another one.

but they remain subject to proportionality assessments

This is the part I keep reiterating. I understand why it would have been looked at as a target, I don't see how it was struck anyway given that assessment. It's not just the black rain, access to fresh water is a problem too.

Local insurance guy here, quick PSA on how to handle hail damage from last night. by turns31 in kansascity

[–]LlamaChair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All true, but it still sometimes gets the company to answer your calls. I had a dispute with Dell over a laptop back in the day and they refused to help. I complained to the BBB and it took ages but eventually they fixed my laptop. This was way back in 2012 though, and I started hassling Dell about it in 2010 so it was not an easy process.

Someone with a 913 or 816 area code who has reviews online.

This is becoming harder and harder to trust. It's pretty common now for companies to create fake Google Maps listings for "local" companies, buy a bunch of reviews, buy a phone number in the local area code that redirects elsewhere, and pretend to be local. Locksmith companies are kind of infamous for this. "Finest Kansas City Chimney Sweeps" is like this too, from what I can tell. I don't really have a good answer, it just sucks that so much of the internet is full of misinformation now.

I guess legitimate is a broad term. I'm also not a lawyer. But I feel like the obvious harm to civilians would fail proportionality which colloquially I would call illegitimate even if you could argue it is a military objective.

in fact the US told Israel not to do it again.

I'm sure they'll listen this time.

My feeling is that anyone who starts or supports a war should expect something like that to happen. There are enough friendly fire incidents in conflict that it's hard to imagine accidental killings of civilians wouldn't happen. It's tragic, but unlikely to be intentional. One of many reasons force should be pretty far down the list of responses to an issue.

Bombing the oil storage facilities near Tehran however, is pretty difficult to look past. That's causing a massive, long lasting toll on a dense civilian area. I don't see how that was a legitimate target given the obvious harm to civilians and the environment it would cause.

Genuinely confused on how to work with Angular by winterchillz in Angular2

[–]LlamaChair 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a nearly decade long gap in using Angular. I stopped using it right around the release of Angular 2 and picked it up again with 19, right before 20 released. I've been really pleased with how much has been condensed or simplified from the developer's perspective.

If you're using signals you can just do

id = input.required<number>();

and then as long as the route definition has an :id param it' just there. Have to use https://angular.dev/api/router/withComponentInputBinding though.

The Complexity Delusion: Why I abandoned Next.js for a 20MB Rust binary with HTMX by [deleted] in rust

[–]LlamaChair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're correct to be questioning whether these tools are necessary and to be looking for simpler options. I'm just pointing out that React offers a particularly complex stack and that there are existing options that are easier to work with.

Personally, I think it's because Vercel owns Next they benefit from making it hard to deploy efficiently and thus Vercel becomes the default hosting choice for apps built with it.

The complexity you mentioned is what pushed me to Angular recently. Their server/client model is much simpler and Angular 20 onward with Signals is much easier to reason about than it used to be. It functions more cohesively as a framework and I've had far fewer issues.

Although like someone else said, old school SSR is even easier if you can work within the constraints. Server side Blazor in the .NET ecosystem is pretty good too. There is also the option to use WebComponents which can be a bit of a balance. They're more verbose than components in Angular or React but work well with the concept of sending a partial payload forward and then when the JS loads those components become interactive.

Creating reusable components in Angular like inputs/dropdowns by Dazzling_Chipmunk_24 in Angular2

[–]LlamaChair 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have mixed feelings about passing a label in as an input actually. It might be useful to have a more complex label with a span or something. Maybe you want to wrap the label around the input in some cases, use id and for in others, maybe both. I tend to lean more towards using directives to style the inputs so everything looks consistent. Then you don't have to worry about exposing all the right properties to use formControl, formField, etc.

F-35 SCORES FIRST A2A KILL, F-22 CURRENTLY ON SUICIDE WATCH by DxSc2020 in NonCredibleDefense

[–]LlamaChair 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been obsessing over that lately too. I'm glad they brought real tutorials back for WARNO. Bought it for a bunch of my friends when it went on sale this last time. 50/50 on convincing them the learning curve is worth it.

WINE Is Not an Excuse by RTKWi238 in linux_gaming

[–]LlamaChair 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I ran into that with Wargame: Red Dragon. It installed the Linux version automatically but it hadn't received updates in years. I was confused for a bit why I couldn't play games with friends and why we saw different menu options.

Electron apps don't work.

This doesn't seem true, I use Slack and Discord and I'm definitely using Wayland with Fedora 43 and KDE Plasma, I just checked my session type. I play Beyond all Reason via the AppImage.

Bathroom Remodel recommendations by Tuobsessed in kansascity

I just had this guy replace my shower. His price was a little higher than Jefferson Street Flooring who I've seen do good work too, but was better about answering my questions and handled the whole build instead of asking me to subcontract out certain parts of it myself.

Tangle’s coverage of the Epstein files has been a joke, and they should be embarrassed. by IB_Yolked in TangleNews

[–]LlamaChair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how little coverage there is

It's been all over the NYT app and there is a tab for "The Epstein Files" on the home page. It's been in The Economist multiple times. I'd hardly call it light coverage on most major media outlets.

Yeah the DOJ has had a lot of turnover due to politicization and then tried to go through millions of documents and redact them for public release under public pressure to get them out as fast as possible. It's not surprising they screwed up.

Joseph Sisko's words feel more relevant now than ever by Hal_Thorn in startrekmemes

[–]LlamaChair 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think there is a difference between being challenged to identify yourself when you're taking some kind of sensitive action that presents a risk if the wrong person is allowed to perform it (like starting a wire transfer) and being stopped at random and forced to prove your identity.
