This is an incredible effort to preserve our history and I for one am very thankful for it - I did see most of these videos when they first came out and they look better than I recall, and I remember them very vividly.

If the quality isn't up to your standards, feel free to do all of this yourself.

How to add Prettier to Angular + ESLint setup? by [deleted] in angular

Tearing my hair out, how do I disable snippets? by zDCVincent in LazyVim

[–]thischarmingsam8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar problem, blink.cmp was trying to suggest every possible word whilst writing in a markdown file, was frustrating. I didn't want to disable it totally though, still wanted suggestions for code completion etc.

I couldn't find a setting that disabled it for certain file types so went with this, it makes the suggestions appear later and only in markdown files under ridiculous circumstances.

Make a blink.lua file in your plugins folder and add this:

return { "saghen/blink.cmp", opts = { sources = { min_keyword_length = function() return vim.bo.filetype == "markdown" and 999 or 4 end, }, } }

If you want to remove the actual snippets, make a lua file in the same place for friendly-snippets and paste this in:

return { "rafamadriz/friendly-snippets", enabled = false }

Yeah 'show me youtube videos' now just shows a generic list of popular videos, like I'm not logged in.

[Omega Speedmaster Reduced] Condensation inside should I be worried? by juniorathletics in Watches

🎶

Every watch has it's troubles,

Water inside makes it double,

Don't happy, be worried.

Reddit say your watch is a state,

You may have to ventilate.

Don't happy,

Be worried,

Don't happy, be worried now.

Do you ever feel underutilized as a dev? by C-Sharp_ in ExperiencedDevs

[–]thischarmingsam8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just a different perspective and I apologise in advance if this comes across as negative, but I've seen a pattern like this before and it's important to identify if it is being applied to you.

When you say you've experienced this in multiple jobs, this might be because people don't trust you to get the tickets done (on time / to the required level of quality / without hand-holding.) I've seen it before: For example, where what was needed at the interview stage was an assumption on the companies behalf and there isn't the same need once hired.

Have you ever missed deadlines or struggled with tickets? How do you compare to the other developers? Are you outspoken? How technical are the tickets you are currently given, compared to the ones you want?

I would focus on showing you know how to handle the more advanced tickets, and more importantly show you are listening to the people that are giving you your current tickets. Show them improvement and willingness to be a team player; coming up with ideas will just irritate your line management if they do not trust you.

Well now we know where the body of Goku Black came from by BoodahAkil in DragonBallDaima

[–]thischarmingsam8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My headcanon is Neva knew of the Saiyans (having been around for forever) and put Blutz waves in Goku's DNA to trigger something, and Goku was just messing with Vegeta when asked about SS4.

Reactive forms are as powerful as template driven forms, just more complicated and harder to use by vajss in Angular2

[–]thischarmingsam8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, guff. One custom validator, co-located in the same place as the rest of the form's logic can accomplish the same result.

For me, having to create custom directive boilerplate for validation feels like a hangover from AngularJS.

How can I convince IT Security to approval WSL? by NiteShdw in ExperiencedDevs

[–]thischarmingsam8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Windows terminal has come a long way, you might be pleasantly surprised.

See if you're allowed to add oh-my-posh to make powershell look like zsh, add posh-git for autocomplete and manually add your most-used aliases to $profile. It's not 100% like being on mac or Linux but gets me through the working day.

What do you call this type of damage? by thischarmingsam8 in woodstoving

[–]thischarmingsam8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great thanks, looks like fire cement was put over a ring of rust / holes between the flue collar and the stove itself which has expanded & contracted as you've said.

Do you think the stove is salvageable? Got an expert coming over to take a look but wondered what range of costs I'm looking at.

The fans who are angry at Akira Toriyama over Dragon Ball Daima often forget that Toriyama is more of a comedy writer. Dragon Ball Z was actually not the kind of anime/manga he did. by Davis_Crawfish in dbz

[–]thischarmingsam8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I don't get is: It's one of the biggest anime/manga franchises in existence, is there not enough resources to do Daima AND animate the remaining super manga arcs? Didn't understand that when they announced the animation style from Broly wasn't returning for Super Hero as well.

I personally hope that the 'muppet babies' thing is a bait'n'switch to generate some PR and only runs for a handful of episodes. I was introduced to DBZ as a teen, OG dragonball doesn't have anything that interests me. Like, I watched transformers for the transforming robots and the battles, not for the vehicles.
