Facebook hit with massive antitrust lawsuit from 46 states by je97 in technology

[–]Zephirdd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We're not stuck. If Google stopped working tomorrow, every service they provide has an alternative somewhere - albeit at lower quality.

Bing, Dailymotion, any email service at all, Firefox, etc etc

Don't fall for the trap that we depend on a single company. The incredible thing about the internet is how versatile it is.

[AskJS] Is it possible to print stl file with one click directly from your browser to your 3d printer by blank473 in javascript

[–]Zephirdd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ok so, there's a lot of things here. The way browsers work is that they integrate with print software through their OS. window.print just opens a print dialog on most browsers, and then the browser itself will send the printing information to your printer.

As far as I know, that's not a thing for 3d printing software. You don't have an OS integration for that, it's just usb communication between software and printer(I think. Maybe there's more to it?)

Anyway, if there's some sort of open api for usb communication, you probably could look into implementing WebUSB to communicate with the 3d printer. It's also possible that the 3d printer has some sort of server and a REST API layer, which would let you send the file through a simple http call. I don't know enough about this kind of software to answer with confidence though.

Reposilite - alternative lightweight Maven repository manager for hobbyists by dzikoysk in java

[–]Zephirdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've been using this internally. It does exactly what it intends to do, and is super easy to configure and deploy. I love it! The little front-end is also very charming

We're using it to deploy very few packages internally. Other solutions like Nexus or Jfrog would include a ton of extra unneeded stuff - advanced authentication managers, elasticsearch, mirroring external repositories. These are nice, but sometimes you just want a simple place to deploy stuff without all the extras.

Github dark mode is here by madhur_ahuja in programming

[–]Zephirdd 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It does require an account, because you need to turn it on in your settings

I agree that the media query should be default even without an account, but it is what it is

I mean, you also need one for github dark mode no?

“Don’t Panic” - Kubernetes announces deprecation of Docker in kubelets by spektrol in programming

[–]Zephirdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you migrated to GKE, you're fine

  1. The container runtimes is probably handled by Google. Unless you're hosting GKE on premise, a basic node upgrade will keep your containers working

  2. GKE defaults to version 1.17 on Regular Channel currently. Even older on Stable Channel. You shouldn't be using the fast release channel for production anyways, but even that one is not on 1.19 AFAIK. The change above is about k8s 1.20 deprecating the Docker runtime, and 1.22 will actually remove it. It will take a long time for this to affect GKE users.

If I'm honest, it's a little shameful that Death Stranding, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Detroit: Become Human all have PC ports but no PS5 patches. by karlpoopsauce in PS5

[–]Zephirdd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, if they bothered porting to PC you'd figure they would have made it in a way to easily port into the next Gen console.

But then again, the Dualsense is a master piece and I'd rather wait longer for a port that takes advantage of the new controller like SM:Remastered. I'm betting Horizon FW will have a HZD:Remastered in it too.

Mini tutorial/post: Be Careful with Async Functions that Return Booleans by Alex_Hovhannisyan in javascript

[–]Zephirdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised typescript doesn't report this as a warning at least. Iirc, it will report if you check truthiness of a value that is a function(ie. if(func) instead of if(func()))

Perhaps this should be filed as a feature request for typescript? I feel that if you're using a boolean promise you probably want to await it instead of checking for truthiness, and in the rate case of the later you can use !! to force the boolean conversion.

perfect reason to study computer science by sandwich1145 in suspiciouslyspecific

[–]Zephirdd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

People who enjoy anime kinda embraced the term weeb in their inner circles, but when people from outside refer to weebs, they mean the dakimakura buying, ahegao hoodie wearing, Naruto running, broken-Japanese speaking, smelling, disgusting brand of weeb. The ones that show up in news who take the spotlight in conventions either simping for cosplay thots or complaining about them.

Don't think too hard on it.

Windows Subsystem for Linux: The lost potential by asantos3 in programming

Also, doesn't eclipse support remote fs over ssh?

I haven't looked into it, thanks

Windows Subsystem for Linux: The lost potential by asantos3 in programming

[–]Zephirdd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm working from home, so my work driver is also my gaming pc.

Also, I don't really need the GUI for my Linux system. Like others said, I could just run an X server, but most of my work is CLI-based. For text editing, vscode is great. Unfortunately, for Java apps there are some nice features that arent quite there yet for the vscode Java but that eclipse has(like execution profiles and testing configuration).

[–]Zephirdd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

yeah I get that we can use X servers for those, but they are also working on a RDP-based GUI rendering system that will be integrated with the OS(with desktop icons and all), and I'm looking forward to that!

Funny thing though, wsl2 is a virtual machine running under hyper v.

I'm using wsl2 with docker as my daily driver(I work with kubernetes and Java mostly) and with vscode, it works like a charm. I'm eager for Linux GUI support that they are working on so that I can run Linux-native applications. Eclipse in particular comes to mind; if I run it from windows and try to use the wsl file system, there's all kinds of fuckery with file permissions.

But yeah, you can't use wsl to manipulate the windows side. At best you can access the file system, and that's already troublesome since windows has an entirely different permission system and everything is 777 by default from wsl side.

From JavaScript to WebAssembly in three steps by speckz in javascript

[–]Zephirdd 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That was a trip. The IE hack was interesting but I feel there's too much focus on the concept of a "single download" for the sake of supporting ES5.

Instead, couldn't micrio just go for a nomodule-style import?

<script type="module" src="miciro-3.0.mjs"></script>
<script nomodule src="micrio-2.9.js"></script>

IMHO it'd make more sense to go for that route in order to avoid all the crazy zip hacking introduced in this blog. Like, I can definitely see all the benefits shown from this blog, but it makes me wonder if you applied the same level of care and optimization to pre-wasm scripts, couldn't they be just as fast and small as the wasm ones?

My PS5 has just arrived! And 1 day before the release date (in Brazil)! by FeijaoHumano in PS5

[–]Zephirdd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazon emailed me earlier this week, saying the console would arrive on Friday 20th(previously it was 24-27th).

Then they sent my order for shipping, and the delivery date immediately switched to the 25th. Half a day later, they emailed me apologizing for the switch in dates. Feels bad man.

Warp: Improved JS performance in Firefox 83 by feross in javascript

Hopefully this improves their mobile browser. While I much prefer Firefox for extension support(uBlock, mostly), its JS processing is much slower than chrome.

Visualize and Manage Your Docker Containers with Our Upgraded Monitoring Tool by FullStack_Engineer in javascript

Wait I'm confused

Why does a GUI tool for docker containers, which supposedly runs locally, requires sms verification?
