What I feel is missing from the practical suggestions section: why cache images at all? They should be stored on the server they were uploaded to, and nowhere else. The image URL would be attached to the post, and could then be used by clients to fetch the image from the original server.
I thought lemmy did this, but it seems not (any more?).
The article is pure fluff. (even includes “synergy”). Most sentences don’t mean anything. Was this maybe just AI generated?
Regarding the topic: if people wanted this feature, it would already have been implemented. It’s not like the topic is obscure, or that it’s difficult to implement.
I think the important part is that the syntax will become standardised, rather than being defined by microsoft/typescript, potentially allowing for alternative implementations. It could also make the build step optional in some cases, which is something people dislike about typescript currently.
Huh interesting. In Scotland we had another one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haggis_(programming_language)
I think it’s just normal Lua code.
Here’s a quick json converter (based on https://stackoverflow.com/a/55575074), assuming you have lua installed:
local function to_json(obj)
local result = {}
for key, value in pairs(obj) do
if type(value) == "string" then
value = string.format("\"%s\"", value)
elseif type(value) == "table" then
value = to_json(value)
end
table.insert(result, string.format("\"%s\":%s", key, value))
end
return "{" .. table.concat(result, ",") .. "}"
end
function item(obj)
print(to_json(obj))
end
dofile(arg[1])
It just defines the item function to print json, and executes the data file.
arg[1], the first command line argument, is the path to the data file:
$ lua to_json.lua path/to/datafile.list
and pipe the output to something.json or whatever else you want to do.
I think the second part of the comment is what’s important:
If you are in a more comfortable environment you will be better at working
Maybe that is windows for you. I have barely ever used windows, so the concept of searching for installers online and running them just seems clunky and time consuming to me. It’s just not what I’m used to.
However if you are willing to learn multiple systems, you might find that one is better than the others.
I learned programming at about 12, by following tutorials for the Pygame python library. It doesn’t do anything especially fancy, but it taught me many concepts, while I had a lot of fun. My first project was making the traditional snake game, which I think is a good level of complexity.
The emoji letters are just a display name. The actual username, which you log in with, uses normal characters.
I’m a techy, and I regularly take my cats for long walks.
I’m pretty sure they try to upstream as much as possible. They have made some pretty large upstream contributions which started out in their own fork.
