Having a bunch of beers rn & trying out Debian for the first time. Will I have regrets? šŸ¤” happy Saturday to all, drink something delicious today šŸ»
  • You having regrets depends on your expectations. If you want a very stable system with little maintenance then you'll be happy. Packages will be older but that's what makes it easy to keep stable.

    I'm not personally a fan of vanilla Debian because the stable versions are a bit too outdated for the things I like to work with. I do use Debian derivatives though the LTS versions.

  • Wastewater cites where levels of SARS-CoV-2 is up 1000% percent or more, not a typo, "one-thousand percent or more"
  • The numbers in the chart seem suspicious. In two instances there is very clearly bad data because they represent maximum values for a 32-bot integer. Another one says 611 MILLION PERCENT increase for a population of 12 thousand. That doesn't make sense to me. Open the tab labeled Data Table for Wastewater Surveillance Percent Change in Last 15 Days

    And sort by the last column

  • Which programming languages do you know?
  • In no particular order: C C# C++ Perl (been a long time, would need a refresher) Python Rust (favorite) TCL (kill it with fire) JavaScript Typescript Java Kotlin X86 assembly Arm assembly Riscv assembly Bash (shell scripting in general) Dart

    Might be some others I haven't touched in while.

    I also had the unfortunate experience of having to write windows batch scripts for a month. I can't decide whether I hated TCL or batch more.

  • Which programming languages do you know?
  • Php has gotten fairly advanced compared to what it used to be so it counts. Html doesn't count since it's a markup language not a programming language. You can't control logic with it, but JavaScript does count.

  • FTC votes to ban noncompete clauses that bar employees from working for competitors
  • I protest voted one year because I hated the candidates. That was the year Trump got elected. I'm never doing that again. Lina's well worth supporting in the next few elections, but the real options this year are already set. Everything else is equivalent to not voting at all.

    [US] At a sushi restaurant, is it considered good ettiquette or bad ettiquette to order rolls cross several rounds?
  • I've been to some places that have a 1 order rule before. I think it's to entice people to eat and then leave so they get more customers served over the same amount of time. Not always my favorite experience though as it's usually the very busy place or the very touristy ones.

  • Oregon governor signs nationā€™s first right-to-repair bill that bans parts pairing
  • The issue with that is it leaves no room for paying the engineers who actually designed the device. The cost of designing the parts is really expensive. I have no issue with a small markup. I definitely agree though that the costs shouldn't be so absurdly prohibitive to repair though.

  • Do you have a preferred guide on modern Android development?

    I'm looking for something that goes through building a jetpack compose app with storage.

    I find linking the UI state with data updates really confusing. I can get it to show up, but updates are inconsistent/jumpy.

    I've been working on a project where the source of truth for the data is actually coming over a Bluetooth connection, and my code feels like a mess. I want to see what good code looks like from scratch so I see what parts of my code are salvageable.

    Neat trick for desoldering many-pin components - programming.dev

    Cross posting since I thought some people in this community (anyone soldering their own boards) might also appreciate this trick.

    I just came across this and thought Iā€™d share. Iā€™ve struggled to get headers and ICā€™s off boards after soldering them on backwards/upside down. This video shows a cool trick with a piece of copper wire that makes them very easy and quick to get off without expensive tooling. I was thoroughly impress...
