“I’ve heard the widow is coming”

What a thing to say. Like she’s now up there with “the virgin Mary”? Could these nuts get more frightening?

It’s not GitHub. It’s Microsoft. Never forget that.

mandatory reviews on code before merging (PR) with mandatory fixes.

This one. Open PR, review by at least one peer, address concerns, merge.

Code review is not punishment - it’s part of your job. You should be willing and able to provide meaningful feedback to your peers. It also gives the team an opportunity to see how other people write code and to agree on norms and standards.

Wow, this question takes me back to like the 00’s when laptops had battery life measured in minutes.

How about “no”.

But that’s my point. It wasn’t a poll of FoxNews viewers as the article says. It was a poll of likely voters.

The mistake makes a big difference.

Fox actually has a pretty good polling team despite their many other deficiencies.

Suddenly I find myself strangely in support of debtors prisons…

Nearly 6 in 10 Fox News viewers disapprove of Immigration and Customs Enforcement,

The poll is of likely voters, not viewers. This is why cries of “fake news” land so well, not even basic fact checking.

The devil is in the details.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., asked Noem whether Lewandowski has “a role in approving contracts” at DHS. Noem responded with a flat denial: “No.”

“But is he doing it anyway?”

Probably because it’s not illegal.

When you open and read files from a program the OS (kernel) will typically cache part or all of those files in memory. This is to speed up subsequent reads of that file since disk access is slow.

“preload” seems to be making use of that feature.

The kernel maintains this cache and evicts (unloads) things from it as needed. You don’t need to worry about it.

Gonna make provisioning servers a lot more interesting…

Their community still a cespool?

Man, what’s up with Linux filesystem developers?

Compared to checks notes reinstalling an entirely different distro???

Jesus the cli phobia here is ridiculous.

While learning about all the Linux stuff I came to know about desktops, and I felt like, if I wanted to ever use a different one, yes, it could be installed the hard way, but I would rather have a distro that can be installed with my desired desktop by default, and the one that got my attention was KDE.

‘sudo apt install kde-full’ is “the hard way”?

No shit. Why would they even say that?

Ahhh, self doubt, my old friend…

“There is probably a better way” is a fairly common feeling. In fact there probably is a better way. But at some point you need to be pragmatic and be happy with “good enough”. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good (enough) as they say…

That said - follow your intuitions as well that things could be done better. Don’t be afraid to just re-write a bunch of things to see if an idea works better. Like grouping things from some “common.php” into domain specific functionality (dates.php, db.php, etc.). Or re-working how your front-end works. Maybe read other code or ask for code review from people more experienced, or even from an AI (yes, yes, I know, but they can be useful).

One problem you can find yourself in is that you’ve created code that’s very difficult to understand, but since you’re “in it” right now you understand it completely. If you put the code down for a week or two and come back to it you may find it very difficult to re-learn. If using classes, creating a DAO layer, or some other pattern helps to make your code easier to read then it’s worth following.

Maybe we stop using it as an identifier as it was never supposed to be?

Man, what a stupid idea .DS_Store was.
