I really can’t stand the Tesla sound, it’s the worst. I can’t quite put my finger on it but it’s both uncanny and grating. I’ll be in my apartment and suddenly there’s this high-pitched screaming of sorts; it doesn’t sound like the car is doing well.
I’ve configured 2FA with my bank using verification codes (can’t think of the proper name, it’s that Authy-/Google-style 2FA c. 2010) but then never utilizes it — it pretends that’s not set up and requests the SMS code. 🫠
This is what I specifically hate about building Docker images based on Debian. Half your Dockerfile ends up mucking about with third-party repositories, verifying keys, etc.
I should be more clear: specifically I was rebuilding a Docker image based on Debian and needed Node.js for one build step, then Ruby for another as well as the final image.
In the Dockerfile there were a ton of weird commands for simply installing Node.js and Ruby whereas on Alpine Linux I could simply install the needed versions from apk. I understand it’s preferable to build these from scratch but in the case of Node.js I was looking to simply compile a bunch of assets then throw away the layer.
I could’ve spent a bunch of time figuring it out for Debian but I wanted a smaller image in the end anyway too.
It doesn’t help that most password managers kind of suck, you have to do a lot of manual work as a user sometimes.
I wish websites would start supporting Webauthn/FIDO2 sometime soon. I’m sick of SMS-based 2FA becoming more popular lately (like 10 years late).
I had to step away from it because packages are just too old.
I get the optimization issue for sure. Crystal is a language that exists but it just hasn’t gained enough popularity; it’s a compiled language that’s very close to Ruby syntax.
I do! I am self-taught but now have a great career going in it. My only complaint is that once you start requiring very specific gems, you’ll find a bunch of unmaintained stuff. Ruby was hyped up a lot in the beginning, kind of declined during the Node.js fad but is becoming a lot more stable and continues to show a ton of progress.
These days if you want to get your foot in the door you can find work upgrading Rails versions as a lot of companies seemed to have released apps a long time ago then lost track of time.
Realizing most of this sounds pretty negative but it’s a beautiful language that I love working in every day. The language is so flexible/usable that outsiders complain that it can encourage bad habits simply by being so maleable — my recommendation is to really know the difference between plain Ruby and Ruby on Rails.
What gets me is people migrating from VMs treating it like an entire host machine.
There is a lack of knowledge among developers regarding precompiling assets and classes (if interpreted), and people are trying to do too much in startup scripts.
Another thing I hate is wrapping the entire process in a script because people want to kill the main process without restarting the container. Yikes!
As they should.
Oh wow, I didn’t notice.
This whole debate is so tired. Just use IPv6, it’s 2024 and it’s so fucking easy these days.
I’m a web developer and I’ve had to ensure both work properly as users across the globe usually have one or the other or both.
It might be time to do some good by your users and implement it (or better yet 20 years ago).
It’s the fucking robotic phrasing that doesn’t mean anything. It’s like when you read an article about some crazy bad thing a company did and the company is asked to make a statement, it’s always “we follow all applicable laws” or some version of “we didn’t do it.”
I prefer Ruby myself 🥰
Joking, of course. Ruby would be slow as hell.
After like 5-10 years of ripping 4K Blu-rays without re-encoding, I just can’t go back. The only time I’ll go back to anything less is if the source material was shot in it.
Don’t know why you were downvoted but for the record it wasn’t me 🤣
I’d like a “dumb” display (I use an external Apple TV for everything) but I wouldn’t be against a TV that can be flashed to make “dumb.”
I just want the damn thing to turn on, switch to the appropriate input and be done with it. While my current smart TV does all that, I don’t want to have to screw around with huge remotes, a weird Android UI, updates and the like.
Bonus points if I could get the same with CarPlay. My aftermarket stereo works great minus the random times when I have to fiddle around with the (again) weird Android UI to bring up the glorified VNC app for CarPlay.
For me in a big city it’s the annoyance of always being a part of the crowd. My free time is the same as everyone else’s now so traffic is always terrible on my days off (weekends), stores are always packed before/after work. Even walking my dogs becomes annoying because every other dog in the neighborhood is outside too.
Thankfully I work from home so I try to get out and walk the dog during lunch; if I have any errand to run I can just take my lunch later when everyone else has gone back to the office.
The other hard part for me is the afternoons; they drag on endlesssly. As a night person waking up in the morning was just killer, but I’ve finally adapted after… 10 years.
