Go watch a dev who is competent with vim/emacs and you will feel like a 7 year old on a tablet. I didn’t give neovim a try until I was thoroughly embarrassed with my ability as a professional text editor (software dev).

Is it the motions you don’t like or the editor itself? After 3 days with the motions I could never go back.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

The Primeagon and Rene Rebe come to mind. Tsoding uses emacs and flys around. I’m still new to neovim and can say the speed at which I can transfer my ideas into the editor is significantly higher.

approximately nobody is competent in Vim because it isn’t worth learning

Come on, you really think its a giant conspiracy from elitists lying about their experience? You think thousands of developers are handicapping themselves for bragging rights?

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

You ain’t understanding it dog

I personally die a little every time I need to take my fingers off the keyboard and reach for the mouse.

How are we supposed to kiss when I don’t even know what Linux distro you run

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

Did the same thing for a while lol, just had to keep the drill going as slow as possible.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

Good electric burr grinders are very expensive.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

Potentially, you could also melt the grinder and mess up the grind of the coffee.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

I think reducing their reasons to ideological is not fair. They stand to save a lot of money, reduce the risk of leaking data (to MS or hackers), and will have the ability to fork/add their own features.

While I am not familiar enough with Calc or Excel to comment on the speed, I imagine having an entire government using it could get the ball rolling on optimizations.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

I started a CS club in college and it was crazy how many members would tell me this. They would ask me questions like I hadn’t picked up programming the year before and taught myself via the internet. If you want it, it’s out there.

This is lovely and I am a huge fan of your artwork! Keep them coming.

Linux market share passes 4% for first time (arstechnica.com)

We see the nearly 33-year-old OS’s market share growing 31.3 percent from June 2023, when we last reported on Linux market share, to February. Since June, Linux usage has mostly increased gradually. Overall, there’s been a big leap in usage compared to five years ago. In February 2019, Linux was reportedly on 1.58 percent of...

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

No doubt it’s the most widely run OS, I think the significance is akin to the difference between ios and android. Android dominates smart phones as a whole but ios still generates far more revenue, giving them arguably more power. So while linux is more widely used, microsoft still dictates computing for the majority of people.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

Had I not got a great offer today I would’ve messaged you! Why do good things only come in waves

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

Last little poke, I PM’d you my info.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU , (edited )

I hate that the convention for naming React.useState variables is [color, setColor], rather than [color, colorSet]. After I declare ‘color’, I want to copy/paste that variable and append ‘Set’, rather than copy the variable then writing ‘set’ then pasting then navigating to the 4th character then flipping the case.

Granted there could be some ambiguity if there was a variable containing a unique collection (aka set) but that is far less common than declaring a useState variable. I’d even settle for appending ‘SET’ to quell the confusion.

Lemmy should totally implement gold. People are obviously happy to pay for internet points.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

If its paid for the lemmy devs and hosters could have some reward for their unpaid work.

I’ve created/maintain 5 programs for this rather niche but rather popular Linux based tablet. All of my programs exist to give the owners more freedom with their device and gives users a plausible way to avoid uploading all of their data to the company’s cloud. I created installation scripts but also packed the programs into the community package manager. The programs are all feature complete so I hop on every other week or so for basic maintenance and to test how my programs work after the tablet updates. I’m pretty much always around to help users troubleshoot.

Past that I have a few random contributions to OSS I use for bugs I’ve identified and have been able to fix.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU OP ,

Step 1: Remove the LSP from IDE.mod

Step 2: Run go mod tidy

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU OP ,

I don’t think its inherently bad but it feels jarring when the language allows you reference nill pointers. It’s so effective in its hand holding otherwise that blowing things up should not be so easy.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU OP , (edited )

Its an effort to keep large code bases clean. I think they should allow them when running go run but not when building.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU OP ,

Thank you very much, I’m definitely going to take this for a spin! Can I ask if you or someone you know uses this? I’m curious what the experience is like and if theres any downfalls.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU OP ,

There’s two types of programming languages, the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses. Go is still my most productive language and is killer for building webservers. I basically use it as a scripting language since it’s so fast to write, compile, and execute.

I tried, I really did

I’ve been an IT professional for 20 years now, but I’ve mainly dealt with Windows. I’ve worked with Linux servers through out the years, but never had Linux as a daily driver. And I decided it was time to change. I only had 2 requirements. One, I need to be able to use my Nvidia 3080 ti for local LLM and I need to be able...

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

Non starter? As in you shouldn’t use Linux if you have a nvidia gpu? I hope that isn’t the take.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU , (edited )

It’s totally wrong imo. Having a Nvidia gpu should not all stop you from using Linux. Granted I’m still on X and can’t run AAA games but I have no issues with it otherwise. Running cuda happily along with everything else I need to build companies, create content, and consume media.

Or Fedora, or Arch, or a bunch of other distros because most all have solid support.

Edit: whole bunch of gamers out here

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU , (edited )

If you are weird so am I. Fedora desktop + 3 Debian headless boxes. Though I may nix everything some day.

Edit: Why do I catch more stray downvotes on Lemmy than I ever did Reddit? I swear there must be downvote bots out there.

New to Linux? Ubuntu Isn’t Your Only Option (www.howtogeek.com)

Ubuntu’s popularity often makes it the default choice for new Linux users. But there are tons of other Linux operating systems that deserve your attention. As such, I’ve highlighted some Ubuntu alternatives so you can choose based on your needs and requirements—because conformity is boring.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU , (edited )

I don’t think this is still true, Debian 12 will install non free drivers if you choose by default. I had that issue on 11 though. I’m not sure how a graphical install works as of late but configuring sudo on a headless box is always tedious and would not be easy for a beginner to figure out.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

What do you mean restart cycle? You only have to restart if you want to load the new kernel (there’s technically a way to avoid even that). If you don’t feel like installing a better tool for the job like Debian, just update less, most of your packages will still be newer than most distros. Also not sure why you would encrypt if its just jellyfin client.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

Nonfree firmware is default in the Debian 12 installer.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

Ah I am not familiar with the software store, you don’t have to do that from the command line. And thats true, I’m not suggesting to never update, just less. Also if theres not much to steal on your computer, saftey is a little less important. I would personally feel comfortable updating once per month but thats up to each user. I sat on fedora 37 for way too long because Ubuntu made me afraid of major upgrades.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU OP ,

I am thinking about hosting my own Mastodon server from home on a Raspberry Pi (Pi4 8GB)?

  1. Are there good tutorials out there?
  2. What's the annual cost just to host yourself?

@linux @nixCraft @raspberrypi

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

Maybe not high traffic services, if it’s being self hosted the limiting factor is probably the upload bandwidth anyway. I’m not sure how resource intensive Mastodon is to host though.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

I’m not sure if its true for Mastodon as well, but I read that self hosting a Lemmy instance was actually more work for the other servers to federate unless you had many users on your instance. Just something to keep in mind.

They likely changed the model AI and did some additional training on cancer data. The first thing you do in machine learning 101 is build a neural network an AI that can identify breast cancer. This is such a non story meant to mislead those who are not aware of how it works.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

It’s real but not actually worth the headline. AI picks up patterns in data and they just changed the data to be cancer data. One of the first things you do in machine learning class.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

Yup, machine learning 101 we built a neural net to identify breast cancer. Non story.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

Why else would I leave a comment explaining it? I did not mean to be condescending and hoped it was obvious my annoyance was at the article.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

Depends if you only use a computer to play video games.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU ,

Senior mode lmao
