Sharing out large files to friends and colleagues without having to use google drive or onedrive.

I think it's vibe coding if you ask for something there's no way you could have made on your own. IMHO

@devJs I would also recommend getting a few bread boards. And watch videos by Ben Eater on youtube. Here's a good one...

Hello world from scratch on a 6502 chip,

I like to keep in vanilla whenever possible.

As my name suggests, I am a fan of JS. One thing that people don't always talk about is how the language is regulated by an actual standards body and new features in the language are added in stages by the TC39. They are carefully studied such that they will not break existing syntax or prevent future progress. They even consider existing frameworks and projects in production.

Even if you don't care about that I think we can all agree you can do some pretty cool shit with it.

Example: Capitalize every word in a sentence.

'this is a sentence.'.split(' ').map(w => w.split('').map((c, i) => !i ? c.toUpperCase() : c).join('')).join(' ');

// 'This Is A Sentence.'

I banged this out in about 40 seconds and that's with an injured wrist, didn't backspace once and got it right on the 1st try.

Go do that in literally any other language.

Well, you proved what I kinda always low-key suspected all along. Why not publish an (anonymous) article with the findings? And do a little finger pointing in the process. People need to be taught a lesson.

Same here give or take a few days. By the way, anyone know how to prevent that from happening?

Only caveat - there's no changing your own past then - so assuming you go back and hang out with your grandfather and NOT kill, he would go on to have a son and that son would go on to have a second copy of you. So there would be 2 of you. In that case it would mean there's no changing your own past. Like if you wanted to not have that scar you can't go back and warn yourself to be careful cutting that salami. Because when you "returned" to your time, the younger "you" from your own world would not have been the one you talked to. So, in a way it would mean your own universe is knowable but unchangeable (immutable). If time is immutable than what's the point of time travel other than just trying to figure out who killed John F Kennedy or time-touristy shit like watching the fall of Rome IRL?

@donkulator No matter how pressed for time I am - I always read the script. Always! Especially if it's run as root.

@IHateForALiving What a cute little kitten!

XFCE - (Xubuntu's default UI is decent)

@jestdotty I find this to be true in Linux. But the alternative is losing your freedom/privacy.

Nice variable names bro.

@iceb They got laxed apparently.

It's always done right by me. :-)

Of course, I don't fuck with frameworks so... I guess you could say my experience isn't the typical one.

I'd try Xubuntu - it's lighter weight. If that isn't light enough for you, maybe try Puppy Linux?

"You don't need AOL to use the Internet! You can use any dialup provider with any browser you want."

I've worked with people who code like this. I have no patience for it. I'm a programming perfectionist and I expect nothing less from others.

This is what updates should look like IMO...

Edit: Also add to the list - 1 remote developer that can't login via VPN.

@Grumm

That helps. But the point remains that it's not cool to reboot someone else's computer without asking them. In fact - no one should be doing anything without the user's knowledge / permission.

Disclosure: I'm a hard-core Linux user - I use exclusively Linux for work, personal and entertainment. I still need to support it for my users and certain applications that require it.

All the fucking time man.

That sucks majorly. I would suggest checking in your work frequently - so that you don't go off in some different direction from development. It's happened to me before - not with git but just working on shared files with a bunch of other dudes.

That's cool.

It made my life easier too. I can ask it to write examples of how to do something and paste it into my code. Although you still need to be a good programmer - 1. to know what pieces to ask for 2. to recognize if the things it produces won't work, and why.

It works especially good if you're looking for something that's kind of specific and combines 2 or more different topics in some way that's a bit too specific to find an example for on SO or github.

Or use it to write micro-components.

eg: Print 'Hi' only mon-fri 8am-5pm:

from datetime import datetime

now = datetime.now()

day_of_week = now.weekday()

hour = now.hour

if day_of_week >= 0 and day_of_week <= 4 and hour >= 7 and hour < 18:

print('Hi')

Then put whatever you want in place of the print statement.

What the hell's in your tea dude?

Glad it worked out.

That's just not right.

@Sid2006 Same here (the 75% thing).

7?
