~15M LoC for everything else.

El capitalismo te dice:

Mira todas las series y pelis que hemos hecho para ti: en cuanto llegue el futuro solo sobreviviremos en bunkers defendidos con armas, sera el todo contra todos cuando falte lo básico.

Lo que esta sucediendo realmente en Valencia ahora mismo:

Miles, literalmente miles de personas están ayudando, incluso caminando decenas de kilómetros, llevando agua y comida, despejando las calles, cuidando animales de compañía, acogiendo en su casa.... en su mayor parte de manera autorganizada.

Así es como respondemos realmente la inmensa mayoría de personas cuando nos quedamos sin agua, luz, teléfono, internet, casa ni comida durante días y días.



The pain about clouds
Everyone knows it, nobody has a sulotion.
- Dropbox: Is being hated for some reason by people because it's, apparently, to expensive, but I don't get the issue. It's really accessible, easy, works, and needs no real care. You can run and use it out of the box, one could say. But just 2 gb for free? Come on dude.
- Google Drive: We don't need to start about this. Super slow, synces ages and buggy, annoying because you have to share every file you want to generate a file of manually and the sharing is bugged as hell. 15 gb as start off are fine yes, but still.
- Self hosted sulotions:
Nextcloud? Nah. Honestly the idea of it is cool and I like that it has a such big community, but it still has it's inaccessible parts and is not really running out of the box.
- Some weird ftp shit with simple URL: Yes, is pretty cool although this also needs a bit more setup than it looks as first, and would possibely need experience because you never know how secure it would be at the end.
And other stuff like seadrive? No idea. This is even more complicated unless you find a way to host it, say in snap, as example.
So at the end I'm just saying, it's annoying if you don't want to pay. I really would like dropbox at most but I can't pay $10 per month for two thousand gigabytes right now.
If anyone has something really cool, please please recommend it. I am searching for something with a simple and cool UI, which can be hosted on Linux and be installed either easely or even with a service snap or a script, or is maybe also commertial.

Maybe HFS could be a solution if you just need file and folder sharing? I haven't had time to test it thoroughly yet, but a first look at the web interface wasn't too bad. github.com/rejetto/hfs


Question for the dads out there: if we - with preparation, of course, steeling ourselves and approaching the task with resolve - if we throw away that container of random old nuts, bolts and screws. Do we ever recover from that, emotionally, or do we just live with its loss?
in reply to mhoye but spooky

I think it's like knowing when to take microwave popcorn out of the oven. If more than N time passes between useful picks from the container, you can throw it out.

(I seem to have exhausted all the useful bolt/nut pairs from such container, and all that remains is things that don't fit anywhere. I should really throw it out.)



Eh, I wanted to do some work today as I rested after #pragma24. But I still feel floppy and tired.


I love test-driven development. It's fun to convert a list of requirements into a set of tests, develop APIs that conform to those tests, and then try to write the simplest code possible to conform to your requirements.

100% agree! 💯

IMO, it is one of the single most important coding practices that can be adopted by software engineers.

One advantage that is often not talked about (and applies to unit tests in general) is, what I like to call "Press Play And Debug":
Imagine you have a very complicated workflow/process you have to go through manually until you reach your desired state of debugging.

With unit tests you can just Press Play And Debug.¯\_(ツ)_/¯



Die #Musik von #Silentlive hörte ich vor einigen Jahren in einem kleinen #Café in #Wałbrzych - ich versuchte der Kellnerin verständlich zu machen, dass ich die CD gern einfach sofort kaufen würde. Nach einigem hin und her verkaufte sie mir ihr eigenes Exemplar. Eine schöne Erinnerung.
