I distinctly remember Nathan MacKinnon doing it recently. Maybe last year or the year before. It could have been in the postseason.

I remember being upset about the exact same thing when 4G first launched.

Uh, I assumed that was a minimum viable product requirement.

OpenVPN server was my number 1. Being able to VPN back into my home from anywhere in the world was amazing. I can't really remember any other, since it was more than a few years ago.

OH MAN. I worked on an Android tablet that used a rockchip CPU, not the one listed here but an older one (I think RK3026). What a PIECE OF SHIT. I don't wish that tablet on my worst enemy. Battery life was like sub 2 hours with a 3200 mAh battery. Sometimes it would start running hot, and you could watch the batter percentage go down one percent every 10-20 seconds. The only way to break it out was to reboot it or let it die.

We later upgraded our CPU to the 3288, one gen older than this one, and it was significantly improved, but still very entry level.

Yes, I was shocked at how small it is. I had no experience working with such limited resources going into this project. Our router had 32MB of storage. At one point I was looked into adding a python interpreter, and it was like 11MB. The Lua interpreter is like 250KB. Tiny!

Also, the ternary operator has the best syntax of any language I have ever used.

x = [condition] and [true value] or [false value]

No question marks or colons or anything weird. It's a logical extension of && and || after commands in bash using keywords since it is a verbose language. I wish every language had this syntax.

For contrast, python is:

x = [true value] if [condition] else [false value]

It just seems weird to me to have the condition in the middle.

The web UI backend stuff is all done in Lua. So receiving and processing forms was all Lua. My main feature that I implemented was a REST API that was called from another product that my company sold. So I had to do all the REST API processing and data validation and whatnot in Lua.

I don't really have recommendations, because I really only knew our product. If I knew what I get, I probably would have got that instead of the Asus router that I ended up with when I had to return my work materials.

I was the lead engineer on an Openwrt router for 2 years at my old job. Their documentation is complete and utter shit, but their design is extremely intuitive. Whenever I said to myself, "hell, let's just try this and see if it works," it had an insanely high success rate.

I didn't know Lua going into this project, but when I left the company, it made me really wonder why more people don't use Lua. It's a really nice language.

I really enjoyed having my own open source router that I could just drop new features into by adding packages and recompiling. I was sad when I had to send all my dev units back.

It was my first time using a Linux GUI. I was comfortable with CLI, but it was my first time having it installed on a laptop instead of just sshing into a server somewhere.

So naturally, instead of learning how the GUI worked, I tried changing it to be exactly like Windows. I was doing things like making it so I could double click shell scripts and other code files and they would run instead of opening them up in an editor. I think you see where this is going, but I sure as hell didn't.

Well, one of my coworkers comes over and asks me to run this code on this device we were developing. We were still in the very early stages of development, we didn't even have git set up, so he brought the code over on a USB stick. I pop it into my laptop. I went to check it once by opening it in an editor by double clicking on it... Only it ran the code that was written for our device on my laptop instead of opening in an editor.

To this day, I have no idea what it did to fuck my laptop so bad. I spent maybe an hour trying to figure out what was wrong, but I was so inexperienced with Linux, that I decided to just reinstall the OS. I had only installed it the day before anyway, so I wasn't losing much.

"I'm right, and if anyone disagrees, it's because they're brainwashed"

There's literally no possible way to argue against this type of logic.

I personally think we should hold off on the speculation. We have seen recently with the Perry/Bedard situation how speculation, even when lighthearted here on the internet, can be extremely hurtful to the people involved. Imagine Carter Hart is ill or going through the loss of a family member, and now the internet is accusing him of sexual assault.

I personally say we wait for more information before we start speculating wildly. Let's be better than Reddit here.

Edit: well, it's official now. Hart's lawyers confirmed he has been accused of sexual assault.

In the winter months, I live off of unsweetened herbal tea with no caffeine.

In my friend circles, the passenger was responsible for playing for the driver.

It happens! I moderate !hockey@lemmy.ca, and recently !hockey@lemmy.world merged with us naturally.

That feeling when you're not a recent CS grad anymore 😭

I never even heard of rust when I graduated in 2016.

If you have a good IDE, and Java has the best IDEs of any language I have used, then auto complete will take care of most of that for you.

I live in NA, and I have one. Most tea drinkers that I know have them, too. I don't know how I could live without one.

But I guess tea isn't as ubiquitous here. That's probably why people don't have kettles. They wouldn't use them enough to be worth the counter space.

Not sure how exactly that would work. Do you have any ideas? Is there a free translation API that could be used?

So if I'm understanding correctly, if I created a Sublinks account, theoretically I would see all the same content, and I could use the same app, but it would be more optimized and have some additional features (on the web UI or if the app implemented those features)?

Congrats! I had that happen a few years ago, and it is a great feeling. Cherish it! You have worked hard and earned this!

Ironically, I have had some really bad French toast in my day. Like, so bad I hated anything with cinnamon on it for years. For decades, the smell of French toast made me want to vomit. I couldn't even go to breakfast joints that served it.

Gen Xers: am I a joke to you?

Logan Couture is finally making his season debut!

I know exactly how you feel. My team's games usually don't even start until 9 or 9:30 in my time zone, which means I'm up until almost 1 AM. And then I have to work early the next day. It's brutal.

Stupid time zones.

I have solar panels and a backup battery. I was actually disappointed when the power didn't go out when it got cold here in Texas last week.

I feel like a very high percentage of posts and comments here are just "Americans bad." And as an American, even though the things they are complaining about don't apply to me specifically, it makes me feel very unwelcome.

I'm sorry, I must have responded to the wrong comment. That comment was supposed to be in an entirely different conversation.

Edit: Oh, I just reviewed my inbox. I thought you replied to a different comment of mine. I'm so dumb. Carry on.

I have a lock that I can check the status of on my phone, and even lock it from my phone if I forgot. It's really good for my peace of mind. No more getting up in the middle of the night to check the lock.

Yes, I intentionally didn't want to provide too many details, as I thought it would just be confusing for someone who doesn't already have a lot of background knowledge on the subject.

But specifically, I was talking about command line programs and ending them with Ctrl-C

I didn't mean the programs were in danger. When this is done to some programs, it can cause bad things to happen to your computer.

How are you closing the program? I don't mean with the X button on the desktop environment. I mean command line programs.

You haven't thought of the smell, you removed!

I was a kid when the prequels came out. I remember the hate for them, but most of my friends that were my age all loved them, as did I.

I think people tend to like what they grew up with and dislike what comes out when they are older.

You can see this pattern in Pokemon games as well. I grew up with gen 2 and gen 3. When gen 4 came out, it seemed like everyone hated it. Same with gen 5. But now most people act like gen 5 was the last good one.

It can be really dangerous for some programs. I don't know too much about Windows, but in Linux, if we try to close a program once, it sends SIGTERM (or SIGINT, I can't remember right now), which basically asks your program to stop. You program can receive that signal and finish things up and exit cleanly. But if your program is deadlocked and can't handle that right now, closing the program again sends it a SIGKILL, which is basically the OS saying, "Get fucked. You're done whether you like it or not."

If no one else has this issue, it could very well be something unique to my internet connection!

Oh, that might be better. I moved out while Bart didn't come down that far south, or maybe it just opened up, but I always forget about it because I never used it before moving out of the area.

It happens constantly both on my laptop (suse) and my Steam Deck (arch). Same exact behavior. I gave up trying to debug it, and I just keep retrying the update command until the list is empty.

You should be fine with that amount of time depending on what time of day you are traveling. Just remember that it may take twice as long to drive between SF and SJ if you are doing it between 5 AM and 10 AM or 3 PM and 8 PM on a weekday.

I didn't travel to SF very often when I lived there, but I'll bet they have some of the best sushi places in the country. Though I don't know specifics, so you might need to do some googling to find the best ones. Near the SAP center, Sushi Confidential isn't bad. It's walkable from the SAP center, actually. Before I lived walking distance to the SAP center, I would park at San Pedro Square for like $7 and walk over. San Pedro Square has tons of options for local bars and food, and they're all pretty darn good.

If I had to recommend a pizza place that's pretty popular in that area that I like, it would be Pizza Guys. Most people really like Pizza My Heart, but I think they're kinda average. Though I don't think pizza in that area is too spectacular.

What is spectacular in that area are the burritos. Unlike in Austin where burritos are typically covered in sauce and eaten with a fork and knife, in California they are always served in aluminum foil, and you unwrap them as you eat them. Iguanas and La Victoria's are the two most popular ones, and you'll see people argue about which is better (I prefer iguanas!). Metro Balderas is my favorite burrito in San Jose, but only at the taco truck near Race Street. The restaurant isn't as good.

Hopefully that helps a little!

Oh, I see. My work only knows I'm done by when I move my tickets to complete on Jira, so I just leave them as in progress until my due date. I work from home, so I just watch TV or play video games while sitting near my work laptop to respond to emails or chat messages in the meantime.

Imagine trying to control how someone says a word.
