Neither. Software engineer are not true engineers in a sense that they don’t require a certification. So it’s just a title. Most boot camps are for full stack, but I guess some are software engineer boot camps. That or the fact that they get a job as such title with only a boot camp.
Isn’t that kind of AppImage’s whole thing, to behave like Mac apps that you just double click on regardless of where they are, and not have a package manager?
I’d go for the Flatpak if you want it to be managed and updated.
We went from distro packages to Flatpak to bare files and circling back to reinventing the package manager…
As a Nix fanboy I would write a Nix expression that downloads the AppImage, and also writes the desktop file with the appropriate path written into it via string interpolation. That can be done either through a NixOS configuration, or in any Linux distro using Home Manager.
I am a big fan or repackaging Appimages as Flatpaks, with appstream metadata, sane package management (not the windows way or simply nothing at all), sandboxing and desktop entries.
You could always throw on a hyphenated middle name. She’s no longer Jessica, she’s Jessica-Anne.
I have a short full name, think something along the lines of “Sam Dal” (it’s not, but same vibes), a lot of people ask what Sam is short for, but the answer is nothing, my legal name is just Sam. My friends will call me “Samuel Jay Dalford” as running joke. Made additionally funny because it’s a masculine name and I’m not a man.
I have used Jessandra/Jessessandra, Jessinald, Jesstancia, Jessentina, Jessanca, Jesstoria, Jessody, Jesselia, Jessolet, Jessilda, Jessephine, Jessevieve, Jessentine, Jesselaide, Jessalie, Jesselope, Jessatrice, Jesselia, and many more. Just because she introduced herself saying her name was easier to remember than the other two that had just introduced themselves. Admittedly I can’t remember their names.
My pet peeve about headlights is that auto manufacturers used the same fittings for standard and HID bulbs and allowed users to replace them of their own accord.
So plenty of places and third parties made HID bulbs for standard bulb fixtures, and people installed them thinking they would make everything better for them when driving at night. They’re the brightest and therefore the best, right? Nope.
HID bulbs should be in specific housings and fixtures which control the direction of the light better than standard bulb housings. With regular bulbs (incandescent), this isn’t a problem, since the amount of misdirected light is not enough to cause problems. When you exponentially increase the amount of light with an HID bulb, that leakage is no longer trivial, and rather blinding.
This is why I’m in support of LED headlights on cars. They’re still “blue” and very VERY bright when you’re in the cone of light they emit, but they’re usually a non-user-serviceable component. So unless someone intentionally goes and screws with their headlight alignment, they generally eliminate most issues with very bright headlights. They keep the light directed at the ground, giving the driver very good coverage of the road while not blinding oncoming drivers (mostly). The downside, IMO, is that, since the bulbs are no longer able to be changed by the user, by design, you now need to buy a whole new headlight assembly if your headlight stops working. While LEDs are generally very long lived, that life can be significantly reduced due to problems beyond your control, like manufacturing defects that can go undetected for years until suddenly the light simply stops working; costing possibly hundreds of dollars to fix, where a standard set of bulbs would be maybe $20 at most.
IMO, between this, and automatic headlights, and on some cars, automatic high beams, as long as people use those systems as intended, being blinded by headlights in most scenarios should be a thing of the past… Of course that requires that people use the systems as intended… Which is a bit like wishing for world peace. The populous unanimously agreeing to anything is basically impossible at this point. Even something as basic as “killing people is bad” is not something that everyone can agree on, since there are entire movements of people who think they should be seeking peace by killing all of the people who disagree with their position. I don’t want to name names on that, but it’s a thing that a few very notable groups fervently believe. To go into that a bit further, most would agree that anyone trying to commit the “murder, death, kill” on anyone should be stopped by any means necessary, which includes, but isn’t limited to killing the person trying to kill others; this is largely considered to be an acceptable exception to the rule, but again, not everyone agrees with that. I won’t go further with it, since I think the point is made… We can’t, as a society of people, universally agree on anything. So there will always be exceptions.
