hello netherlands you mean to tell me I don't need to download a separate app for every local transportation system for every city I visit but can simply use my existing credit, debit, or EC card as both payment and ticket?
Me trying to explain modern development practices to normies:
Me: yeah, we don’t know how long it will take, or how much it will cost, tbh we don’t really know what we’re going to make. We need to figure that out. Get a feel for the people and the problem, make some stuff that seems useful and see how it goes.
Them: What kind of hippie bullshit is this???
Me: You should’ve seen the crap we made when we thought we knew what we were doing…
Them: Who would go along with this nonsense?
Me: … the people who had to deal with what we made before…?
Them: What part of this even partially resembles Engineering???
Me: so… the thing… that we’ll figure out is the thing we should make?
Them: yeah?
Me: Well, we’ll do that… But At Scale!
Them: what on earth does that even mean??? Gimme my money back!!!
Should I teach bash, fish, or Nushell to data scientists who want to go beyond the basics of shell scripting? There seems to be a clear spectrum from "ubiquitous but m'gawd" to "this is the future but m'gawd in a different way".
I'm resurrecting a TMAX TM800W610L 8" Windows tablet (2GB RAM/32GB [slow] SSD) from over five years ago to use as a weather display for my Tempest weather station.
After getting openssh and VNC on it, the latest Golang installed perfectly.
After a
go install github.com/hrbrmstr/go-weatherflow@latest
it looks like I'll be able to make a self-contained web server app!
The same release added#GitHub registry support and retained separate #Azure support. This essay from last year about #VSCode as an onramp to Microsoft lock-in is looking more and more accurate: https://ghuntley.com/fracture/
does anyone know if it's possible (and how) to check which libraries in a script are actually used? As in have at least a function call in said script.
I have long script with a ton of library calls at the top and I am pretty sure not all of them are used, but except for iteratively remove libraries one by one and watch the script burn, but I don't know how else to test it.
