You never make a list that has an item with a hard break in it? They are everywhere.

7/28 and I program in JS and typescript daily…

When I started working for my current employer, I was surprised by how much ram my VDI has. We’re not allowed to code on our own devices (but those are still specced out) but 64 Gs of ram in a virtual desktop was a welcome environment to work in.

Creating a ~ folder isn’t the tricky part. Removing it is.

(until you figure it out once)

Wait… is it the tiny camel at the bottom?

Yes, it appears it is. I thought it was Apache Camel but I was corrected as per the hump count.

I do like setting things up.

Then I realise I need to fuck around with DNS to get it working nicely.

I’m thankful for AI. It guarantees my job as developer will continue to exist to repair all future AI-damage.

Stackoverflow: exists solely from the urge of developers to help developers, and since ExpertsExchange was paid dogshit.
This meme: pisses on its whole purpose.

In case of phones, there’s less of a myriad of operating systems and libraries.

A typical Android app is (eventually) Java with some bundled dependencies and ties in to known system endpoints (for stuff like notifications and rendering graphics).

For windows these installers are usually responsible for getting the dependencies. Which is why some installers are enormous (and most installers of that size are web installers, so it looks smaller).

Docker is more aimed at developers and server deployment, you don’t usually use docker for desktop applications. This is the area where you want to skip inconsistencies between environments, especially if these are hard to debug.

I really like SEPA mandates for this. Yes, they’re pull, but you can cancel them with one click within 52 days, and the money is back in your account in a few hours (if not instantly).

Most companies that use it are very clear, since auto-pay by law needs a reminder or the refund is an automatic legal cancellation of the contract. (Of course, this is sometimes disguised as an upsell, mostly by telco’s or “disruptive startups”).

And they work across Europe, so my German cloud provider can use debits to pull the money from my Durch bank account.

The US not having such a consumer friendly system is really unfortunate, but not surprising.

I too, tried using regex to strip html tags. This was in php with hardly any knowledge of oop.

A university education really improved me there, since they trained you in Java to a high degree within 20 weeks (alongside stuff like UML). PHP is a fine starter language, but as applications grow, a more native oop approach with build-time validation, really made me a better developer.

I’ve said this on reddit before, but once for a joke I tried to make a windows program to play doot.wav during October at random, and tried programming it on Linux.

Sinds playing audio and working with the system tray was tricky, I ended up with electron.

So yeah, an atrocious 120 mb application to play a 6kb wav file with a Math.random(). I don’t remember the memory consumption, but it was probably just as gross.

Yep, they have the same feature.
