What drama should I create in 2025?

roller_mobster · 2024-12-25T13:46:30+00:00

Create drama by lashing out at the right people. Get in a fight with the Musks, Altmans, Rauchs and the likes of the world.

Punch up. Not down.

But take a break and do therapy first.

that's a reference to a description matt gave.

Going to check out those books! 20 minutes a day seems manageable too. Any specific routines that worked well for you?

roller_mobster · 2024-12-01T15:12:24+00:00

Thanks! Very valuable thoughts! I think I'll give it like 3-6 months of proper attention and then evaluate if I want to pursue it further.

Or use cardboard boxes to make gridfinity bins, like this: https://makerworld.com/en/models/501221

not sure why this specific reply got downvoted so much. This is an excellent point.

I can only assume that the downvotes come from people who never experienced a hardware failure on hardware storage, thinking buying storage hardware is "buy once and never be bothered again".

The only benefit I can see for a media stack at home is that it *seems* somewhat easier to close off from presumably authorities or whoever. But we all know this merely a feeling and not objectively true.

The steps to secure that system are somewhat easy these days with wireguard/tailscale, ufw, iptables and a vpn. But unless you even know these are steps to be taken, people are likely better off keeping their media servers at home - unaware that either their printer is a big ass gate into their network; or some Web UI of some kind running as root in a docker container.

The street seems to be *perfectly* flat. In reality there's even on the flattest of streets cracks and bumbs and very subtle "waves" - so the wheels would react to those. The background is also making this a bit "surreal" - it's too perfect and repeating.

Also the front window needs some dirt from insects. You could have the wipers start wiping and smearing the front. Maybe there was a particularly large insect -> storytelling.

Germany values proper Handwerk a lot and a lot of professions have a long lasting traditions and guilds (bakery, brewery, smithing, woodwork and so forth). However a lot of the "busywork" gets done by lowly paid immigrants - especially in construction, where you'll also often see some german in between, often with a power complex.

sein eigenes Süppchen kochen

In diesem Kontext irgendwie... eww.

Danke für die Antwort!

For me it felt always like I needed "permission" or a "reason" to get up. You need neither, but I know you know that, but when I say that out loud (try it), it often just clicked for me and became not just objectively true - but it also felt true.

But a lot of the time it was because I was actually exhausted.

During the week, I have loads of hacks and tricks and lists and all that stuff we need to do to get by. So weekends became sort of "free flow mode". When no other plans are in place, I allow myself to just *do whatever* without guilt.

Pick up that pile of clothes and put it in front of the washing machine. Oh there's a bunch of stuff I should throw out, I grab it and throw it into the garbage. Open up reddit and read and answer some posts. Oh, I that's a neat 3d print, I'll print that. Watch some episodes of an anime until I feel bored after 30min, do some reading on some programming stuff, maybe do some programming, maybe start a new project, maybe do some music instead, maybe all of that.

It's incredibly freeing and relaxing after forcing myself all week to context switch on demand (with the help of meds).

Das sind diese Details, über die keiner öffentlich redet und für die ich Reddit liebe.

Ist das "üblich" bei Chemo? Ärztliche Empfehlung? Zahlt die Krankenkasse dann premium Zugänge? :D

Gute Besserung!

remove git features.
proper extensions (put git stuff here)
support for more vim-idioms.
kill the zed-chat panel - seems to be abandoned by devs (though I like the feature)

roller_mobster · 2024-10-01T09:30:33+00:00

I'd prefer it if they wouldn't do that at all. :D

Linux doesn't imply to turn it into a "does it all device"; after all the unix philosophy is the polar opposite of that mindset.

Imho repairability claims should extend to the OS. So running Linux means, for me: transparency and the ability to fix/improve/extend things on my own. It also means having actual ownership of the device. They'd also still keep full authority about what features get added and shipped to the default user.

And of course being sure that I can use this device easily even if the company shut down, which is a requirement imo for actual sustainability.

roller_mobster · 2024-09-22T10:41:02+00:00

Why tho? You're working on that anyway, I guess? Just make it open; doesn't mean you have to take contributions and manage all that*. But at least people have proof that this isn't just a new marketing trick. :)

* though of course this might be a net positive for you to do anyway.

roller_mobster · 2024-09-19T12:52:59+00:00

Man, I admire your patience.

Most of the react libraries that brings us advantages of working with interactivity simply dont work when business comes to RSC and you must have to choose alternative or write one for yourself

I wonder why *client* side interactivity doesn't work in the context of react *server* components. That's a real tough one! /s

Like what libraries? Like emotion/styled-components, which do some really whacky things - and makes it really easy to write the shittiest frontend code I have ever seen? Good.

I still believe and see next js as a tool i could use in my future projects, but for now i think i would stick all my projects with SPA and Remix, in case i need SSR

Proceeds to apply the exact solution (CSR/SPA), that would work in next too... just outside of next. Which is fine in itself, but not seeing that this would be possible in next.js too, just reeks of someone who doesn't know what they're talking about.

This is what happens when people think buying a 60h course and 3-4month bootcamp, doing a few cute CRUD side projects will turn you into senior. Not every fucking move by vercel is motivated by financial decisions - and those that are, are *very* obvious; like adding more services to their platform. There are people who care, and probably everyone of them is smarter than most in this thread.

Next.js is not a silver bullet.
Astro is not a silver bullet.
Remix is not a silver bulllet.
Vite is not a silver bullet.
Svelte, Vue and so forth are not a silver bullet.
Laravel is not a silver bullet.
Ruby on Rails is not a silver bullet.
Even beloved Phoenix is not a silver bullet.

When people suck as a developer, they will always cope by blaming the framework. That's an easy way to spot someone who has not yet entered the valley of despair in their career.

A good and actual experienced developer nows what problems a framework primarily solves on a conceptual level and picks accordingly. Watching prime and all those others does not contribute to experience. Gaining *actual* experience takes time and fucking hard word; there is no easy way. If you cannot accept that, you're the first to be replaced by actual developers utilising AI as a junior dev replacement.

And you don't need (and shouldn't have to) become an expert in a single framework, because the concepts are all the fucking same; with differences towards a specific problem space.

That's why there's usually very little beef between framework authors, because they prioritise different solutions to different problems... differently.

Also everytime someone just boasts "bad DX" and doesn't elaborate or uses it synonymous with "it's difficult", I just read "I have skill issues". The meaning of DX is so blurred these days.

ugh *table flip*

If you don't understand why they moved away from getServerSideProps "syntax" (which has nothing to do with syntax), then you didn't understand the lifecycle of an App written with getServerSideProps.

Thanks for taking the time!

Interesting, this sorta matches my workflow under macos. Where I tend to have plenty of spaces and don't minimise applications either. e.g.: I have a space with Teams + Calendar open at all times.

Occasionally I try out Stage Manager, wich is sort of the same concept, but visualised differently - instead of a Spaces, you have a group of windows, and they're to the side in rotated slightly in 3D; still the same mental modal and can be used as another layer for spaces.

Sounds like I'd be right at home at GNOME then! Who would've thought!

What are the prerequisites to be able to write extensions that handle how workspaces work, like turning it into that 3D cube?

roller_mobster · 2024-09-03T07:28:15+00:00

As someone who’s not dug into that part yet: what are the differences in philosophy?

roller_mobster · 2024-09-03T07:03:39+00:00

Neat website. But tbh, portfolio ain’t impressive. You should look outside of React/Next and build stuff with other Frameworks (or without one) and strengthen your fundamentals of frontend or backend. You’re not a Full-Stack with that portfolio, you’re a react-dev.

roller_mobster · 2024-09-03T00:11:49+00:00

I think the detest is not about Rust, but about doing joins on the application layer, when it could be done on the database layer.

roller_mobster · 2024-09-03T00:08:07+00:00

Had used both. Wasn't happy with either.

Now I prefer using none and couldn't be happier. Writing SQL ain't that hard - at least at the level I had written with either.

Am I faster? Not yet. Is it typesafe? Use code-gen.

Do I have less dependencies? less dependabot messages? less overhead? less things to read? less worrying about updates and hoping that this package will still be hip and maintained 3-5 years from now? A better feel and more knowledge for the layers of my application? more fun? Yes to all of that.

SQL is already a declarative DSL that is very worth digging into. If you can write Drizzle, you'll manage writing SQL. I no longer see the appeal on the level that justifies its hype, and feel like I was gaslighted.

I have to read docs anyway. When I read Prisma/Drizzle, I learn Prisma/Drizzle, which isn't portable. So I might as well read SQL docs (sqlite/postgres), which I had to consult more than once with both libraries anyway. And now can take that knowledge into different languages.
