Sod's law someone finally posts this on the day I decide to make a post. I promise I did check the board yesterday when there wasn't an update! Thanks for the explanation though.
Hi, When I try and login to my account on lemmy.sdf.org, I just get the loading 'beach ball' spinning infinitely, with no progress or errors reported or anything else.

I'm learning Rust at the moment and I too think I have some reservations with its syntax. Most of these reservations come from my strong preference for functional programming over OOP.
I am unsure if I like method-syntax period, even if it isn't inherently OO. Chaining just makes me feel uncomfortable in a way piping doesn't.
Also it seems idiomatic for values of enumerated types to be written Type::Enum, which seems ugly and unnecessary.
What'd you make of this article?: https://matklad.github.io/2023/01/26/rusts-ugly-syntax.html

Reflecting on my first year running solely Linux (as opposed to dual-booting), I think that this culture comes from the fact that, on Linux, problems can more often than not be solved. If not solved, then at least understood. When you want to change something on Windows, or something breaks, you have far less room to maneuver.
When I was a Windows user, I'd barely ever submitted a bug report for anything, in spite of being very tech-literate. It felt hopeless, as my entire experience with the OS was that if a fix would come, it'd have to be done by someone else.
Linux treating its users like adults, produces users who are more confident and more willing to contribute.
I'm not presently working but I trained, and worked as, a software developer. I struggle a lot with work and my working life has been very chaotic due to shit mental health. It seems like a really stupid idea, as being a chef is meant to be really stressful. However, the idea of it being fast-paced, immediate, physical, intense, sensory seems really really appealing to me. I'm sorry if this isn't a lot of information to go on. I'm trying to reduce details, partly for privacy's sake, partly because if I don't wind myself-in this could be a novel long.

Following up from my previous comment, there is a Flatpak of Emacs available on Flathub. Here are the instructions for how to install, whilst enabling native compilation, which will offer a performance increase and allow you to use features such as vterm (the best terminal emulator for Emacs).

I'm not too familiar with how Flatpak works but Emacs benefits from compiling it on your machine natively. Tell me what distro you're on and I can see if I can find out how you'd do that.

I agree with you that I don't look to Lewis for his take on geopolitics. However, I think you just have to accept that in the body politic there are many people (a majority in all likelihood) who have a say in their democracies but don't concern themselves with situations such as Israel-Palestine.
Lewis has the attention of these people, and he feels he's doing the right thing by bringing attention to the plight of innocent civilians in the region. If his post has inspired at least one person to be more aware and sympathetic to the human suffering, then hasn't it been worth the effort?

Lots of replies mentioning Emacs but Emacs out of the box is gonna be essentially a text editor (insert obligatory: Emacs isn't a text editor; it's a LISP interpreter).
However, install Doom Emacs, and you have a full IDE experience for essentially any language you could ask for. I highly recommend it.

James Vowles came closest to convincing me that a new team could really harm the back-half of the grid. I'm still in favour of the Andretti bid but I think teams like Williams should still be permitted more spending on infrastructure to bridge the gap between them and the bigger teams.

I do very much get the impression Lance is pressured by his Dad to keep racing. I can't imagine that Lance is being compromised for Nando though. Lawrence's dream has always been for his son to be WDC, so I imagine Lance's car is on-parity with Nando's.
I can't imagine he gets paid nothing. I've always presumed he gets a nominal salary. Regardless, Lance is going to always be unfathomably wealthy unless his Dad cuts him off completely, which I presume wouldn't happen. Even if he was cut off, Lance now has the experience and the contacts to make a large amount of money independent of his Dad.

My answer to this would always have been Metal Gear Solid 3. If Konami mess up the remaster (which I'm just assuming they will), then this will be my answer again.

I'd be more willing to extend sympathy and understanding to Lance, if we'd ever seen any of that from him to his fellow professionals. How'd he appreciate his teammates humanity when he fucked-over his teammates in Formula 3? Where was his sympathy when he cost Ocon his seat? The seat he earned on-merit thanks to his family selling their home to fund his career?

I mean, play stupid games win stupid prizes? If you're not adult enough to be able to express your frustration in a way that doesn't harm those around you, you open yourself up to accusations of being a baby.
Sorry but I don't have anyone IRL to share how happy I am about this. All my real-life drafts have been really disappointing and I was feeling down on myself. Deck was Red-White with a focus on roles and enchantments. I got [[Archon of the Wild Rose]] and [[A Tale for the Ages]] Pack 2 Pick 1 and Pack 2 Pick 2 respectively. [[Savior of the Sleeping]] is a card I have played with a bunch but have never utilised properly before now. My two Saviors were probably the MVPs, I managed to frequently get them quite buffed-up. Looking back over my draft and I realize now that I didn't wind-up using my first three picks! I realized late into the first pack that White seemed really open, so when Pack 2 came around, and I got those two really helpful rares, I got the sense I was onto a good thing.
Hello, First of all many congrats on releasing the app. I imagine it's been a tough few months since Reddit screwed over their community. As far as I can recall, I used 'Small Cards' as my layout for the Reddit app. However using it now and the cards are far too large for my taste. Is there any chance of us being able to set the max height of image previews, so we can tweak it to our preference? Thanks, Wat
EDIT: Now claimed. Hi, I attended two pre-releases this weekend and got two codes for WOE MTGA packs. I believe you can't redeem multiple codes. I've tried and the website says I can't. In case anyone else can use it, it's: CB8B3-1A366-1BD91-99850-13A17 Please be sure to comment when you've claimed it, so I can update the post.
Hi all. I'll try and be succinct but as I'm sure you all realize that's often easier said than done. I don't feel like I ever hear my fellow ADHDers discuss how negative an experience hyperfocusing can be. First off, I never feel like I'm 'enjoying' myself when I hyperfocus. It feels a lot like I'm dreaming. Time moves weirdly, all my senses go askew, and it never feels like I'm in-control. Then when the focus fades for whatever reason, I feel _exhausted_. I usually have a headache from the hours of intent concentration. Oftentimes I haven't eaten, had a drink or used the toilet. As I start to come out of it I often feel quite confused and borderline hungover. It gives me such an existential crisis. An activity is either so boring I can't summon myself to engage with it or it's so absolutely engrossing that it feels like the activity is partaking of me rather than the reverse. And when I come out of it, to an extent I do feel as if I've been consumed. I don't feel happy or satisfied or fulfilled. I feel tired, confused and uncomfortable. Can anyone relate? Does anyone have any advice?
As nothing else has been posted, I figured I'd open this up to discussion. A brilliant race, I thought. Lots of fantastic battles. An intelligent strategy from Ferrari. Not too chaotic or arbitrary. Albon fighting on 40-lap old tires for a huge P7. How'd everyone else enjoy it?
Watched my first ever 'historic' F1 race today: the 2011 Canadian Grand Prix, in anticipation of quali today. ::: spoiler spoiler I am disappointed to say that I didn't feel it lived up to its reputation. Everything seemed reasonably uneventful before the red flag and a very large amount of the race was behind the safety car. I didn't get the impression there was ever a moment of 'different teams; different strategies; how is this going to play out?'. Maybe there would have been, if it were not for the red flag. Undoubtedly the final 20 laps were exciting. Heidfeld (IIRC) running over his own front-wing. Schumacher's double over-take of Kobiyashi and Massa. The three-way battle of Schumacher, Webber, and Button. Webber's final lap off. Massa beating Kobiyashi at the death. It was undoubtedly a good race but without having lived the era, maybe I am missing the context to really, **truly** appreciate it. Button being from last to first with six pit stops feels more like a fun trivia fact than a titanic achievement, given all the disruption. I'd be interested in the views of other fans. Has anyone else re-watched it and been underwhelmed? If I watched it will full knowledge of where the sport and the competitors were at the time, would I have enjoyed it more? :::
I don't know if it's due to over-exposure to programming memes but I certainly believed that no one was _starting_ new PHP projects in 2023 (or 2020, or 2018, or 2012...). I was under the impression we only still discussed it at all because WordPress is still around. Would a PHP evangelist like to disabuse me of my notions and make an argument *for* using PHP for projects such as Kbin in this day and age?
Hello all, Wanted to open a discussion on Lemmy's post sorting options right now. I don't have any experience with implementing this type of thing but right now the algorithm appears... Off? For example, 'Active' gives me a lot of posts over a day old but 'Hot' may as well be 'New' i.e. more recent posts with little engagement. I don't know if it's due to Lemmy still picking up steam or a fundamental flaw with the algorithm. Like I said, I'm really curious to hear the opinions of those more knowledgeable.
Especially really good and satisfying gun sound effects.
