What's the oldest technology you continue using?
  • CSV is honestly one of my preferred ways of stacking up data. It's so easily transferable between languages and systems. It's always human readable too! There are older tools that I work with that spit out "fixed-width" formats, but then go and fuck it up by not aligning the headers to the columns making parsing is a pain in the ass. CSV would be so much better.

  • Removed
    What are some unwritten rules of the Fediverse? I came from reddit so its a bit different for me.
  • I just installed KDE on my Ubuntu install. I wish I had explored KDE more before installing. I'm slowly wishing I had gone with Fedora's KDE spin since so many pieces are moving so quickly right now for gaming and graphics in general. Ubuntu being feature cautious is a little annoying.

  • The MAGA Plan to End Free Weather Reports | Project 2025 would all but dissolve the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
  • Oh it gets worse and still only in NWS area. All of the severe weather alerts from thunderstorms to hurricanes are also done by NWS. Not to mention the radio stations they broadcast all of that information on that are also used to help tune antennas and receivers.

    This would kill thousands of people every year. And it's mostly red states that would feel the biggest burden of being hurt. It does not make any sense except to acknowledge that the people writing P2025 really do not give 2 flying shits about anyone but themselves.

  • Even in the slowest lane
  • As someone who lives somewhere flat, driving in the mountains is different due to the amount if focus and control I have to put into making sure I'm always in the lane. Going from a slightly curve every 2 miles to a sharp winding bend every 0.1 miles is a huge difference!

  • Barcelona will eliminate ALL tourist apartments in 2028 following local backlash: 10,000-plus licences will expire in huge blow for platforms like Airbnb
  • I fully agree with the prioritization of meeting basic needs before luxury. The detail I would like see happen is making sure that people have a chance to see more than their own area at some point in their lives. See how other people live for a time. I do think there can be better connections for humanity when we can see the lives of others.

    I took a trip with some college buddies. We went on a cruise and stopped in Nassau and some of them had some real shock seeing a city with not as much wealth. The just hadn't considered that clean streets, sidewalks, and traffic lights didn't exist everywhere.

  • How am I supposed to decide who to vote for in local elections?
  • The local newspapers in my area send each candidate in every race a form of question that they then print. Typically it is very easy to tell which candidates understand what the that form is, there are those that don't understand, and then there are ones that don't return it. It's makes choosing much easier for me. I'll still pull of websites and check past news articles for each one I am considering.

    Support your local newspapers!

  • Teenagers. (I'm 17)
  • Don't sweat it man. I've seen null pointer dereferencing cause drones to fall out of the sky so this is not that bad. One time I did a code change that disabled an e-stop feature that stopped the propellers from spinning. Thankfully no fingers were lost because of that! The code was reviewed and passed the software simulation tests at the time. It just got missed.
