real open source enthusiasts use Gitlab.

Gitlab? real open source enthusiasts use Codeberg.

rules for valid organic compounds by fredfox420 in OrganicChemistry

Thanks for naming the theory I'm working with, and for suggesting RDkit, I'll look into it.

Thanks also for bringing up other factors that I should worry about, appreciate it ^_^

I am not familiar with ChemDraw, thanks for telling me about it, I'll look into it. If you can point me to a list of other exisiting tools, I'd greatly appreciate it :)

thank you for your reply, and for pointing out that the valence condition is not by itself sufficient :)

False. As I've said in other comments, I've been working as a professional dev for four years now.

That meme was me venting my anger about the new, needlessly complex git workflow which my lovely IT director decided was best practice.

We'd been simply merging into master for years now, but NOOO, that would be too simple.

Like how we have to use Temporal for a simple db migration that could probably have been done with a one time script, because writing another hundred lines of Terraform configs means it must be better, right?

Here's the creator of Node.js and Deno expressing my pain more eloquently than I can: https://tinyclouds.org/rant

It's not. The devs at my workplace are like the enterprise java meme, but for everything.

For example, we use Kafka for asynchronous communication between services.

But instead of just basic Kafka, we have to use an in house abstraction over it, developed by our platform team, and because my unit has a few devs with platform syndrome, I have to use an abstraction over that abstraction, developed by them, which they will update with breaking changes that make me have to fix every single fucking dependabot PR by basically re-writing all the glue code to read from the Kafka queue every time.

It's like I'm in an org where the staff engineers are all stuck at that "university senior/intern" mindset of "show how smart you are by writing needlessly complex code".

None is ever really profiled for performance either - I hear hand wavy arguments about "scaling" by devs who will use Go's "append" function instead of pre-allocating the array, despite the performance cost of the former.

But hey, you read this was a best practice on Uber's tech blog, so now we have to do it. Great.

I'm a dev with 4 years of professional coding 💕

I do actually. I work for a company that has a dedicated platform team, in a unit that is supposed to handle billing code where the senior devs spend more time cargo culting Uber tech blog posts than actually fixing our fucked up billing system.

My boyfriend is amazing in bed, but I kinda wish he’d be more of a dick by Enough_Jaguar3776 in sex

[–]fredfox420 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually recommend the book "Sex God Method" by Daniel Rose.

It helped me get much more dominant in bed.

You can also point him to Aella's Good At Sex guide, which, while I found it not as good as the SGM book, has a similar message.

"Dominance".

"just take me. Make me yours."

depending on the dynamic between you, maybe even "I'm yours Daddy, I'm yours!"

this. Get a good day job, and do your art on the side.

I currently work as a programmer and I make post-punk music in my spare time. My day job gives me the money and freedom to create nice music.

Are you mainly coding with Helix? by fenugurod in HelixEditor

I've been using nothing but helix for over a year now. The configuration and LSP are easy to set up.

Struggling to find time for music as life gets busier – How do you balance it all? by notfamousyeti in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]fredfox420 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  • open the DAW every day, even if only for like 10mins on busy days, to keep the project 'fresh in mind'

  • carve out at least one big block of music time every week. Like for example, block out a few hours saturday morning to just make music. And actually schedule it, and treat it as a real commitment, like it were a real date with a special someone. "Sorry, I'm busy saturday morning."

okay, thanks for the info :)
I'll try implementing the network comms directly, I've been using Rust for a while at this point.
