Nextcloud is a really good all-in-one solution for self hosting data

More or less the same but the user gets passed as a method parameter each time. Validators would be in my opinion a long function inside the service also with named variables like this because it’s just easy to read and there are no surprises. I’d probably refactor it at around 5 conditions or 30 lines of validation logic.

I recommend trying out using the constructor in services for tools such as a database and methods for data such as user. It will be very easy to use everywhere and for many users and whatever

const passwordIsValid = ...
if (!passwordIsValid){
  return whatever
}

I like the service but the constructor parameter is really bad and makes the methods less reusable

I always thought of the “how” being better explained by the code itself where you can see string.replace(" ", "\ ") as the actual fix while the message says the “why”.

I would still have “Fix a bug where strings containing whitespace break CSVExporter” as my go to message.

I guess our viewpoints are different based whether we want the commit messages to represent tasks or changes. They both have their uses of course. Looking at changes to a file to know what people have done to it is better with a “changes” type message but looking at the history to check “did we actually complete this or was it just marked as completed in the issue tracker?” is better with a task based message.

Task management where every issue is put on a ticket and tracked would my type of messages obsolete but at my current company theyre very useful.

I like good commit messages that use less words but still give the full picture. If something hacky was done then a comment is better. I like mine with imperative voice since it avoids writing a prose.

“Fix a bug where when doing x then y happens”

“Add setting to control x”

Come to v18, things are nice here.

You’ll get a boatload of spoiler effect elections until people start voting tactically again. Third parties need to start locally and not participate in the presidential elections for a long time.

There is a path to voter reform by creating hung parliament and require voter reform in a coalition agreement. Once dominant running for governor or a senator becomes possible.

Yeah, fascist government are known for doing some voting reforms after all

This is what happens over time with people remembering history that they start to attribute a lot to a single person. More recent example of this is George Washington which is given more credit that he deserves for creating the US.

I bought a used desktop with 4 SATA ports. Has i5 7th gen and currently 5 TB and an 500GB SSD and has max ram of 64GB. I guess the HDD are not included in the price?

I’m not sure what your software requirements are but if you go the DIY route a desktop works. I made the BIOS auto turn on on power restored and have services start on startup so it gives the server feeling.

Bonus is that you can use it as a gaming server and upgrade the components easily for a while depending on the motherboard.

Ruby syntax is nice although I prefer python way of enforcing indentation instead of adding "end"s. Personally I just want a statically typed language with enforced indent as syntax.

Out of all the additions to punctuation I’ve seen this is the one I find myself needing most often. Interrobangs are easily written as “?!” and even most other ones can be quick fixed with storytelling like “said lovingly”, “said with authority” and whatnot.

But “Is that the best, or is it just what we have?” is an absolutely horrible thing to write punctuation for when you mean it as two connected questions like “Is that the best? Or is it just what we have?”

It should obviously be replaced with a question comma. There are so many cases where you also have the question in the middle of the sentence such as “Is that okay (question comma) because I don’t think so…”

On braces are not used in if or for statements

Who’s going to write the extension so that they are all hidden and automatically inserted?

Divisible by 3. Easy to check since 7 + 1 + 7 = 15 which is divisible by 3.

Yeah, it stops being healthy because it’s ultra processed.

I’d argue that homeless are a symptom and lack of housing is the problem.

A lot of Europe did so and for this exact purpose. Immigrants are net contributors of tax money and help a lot with demographics. Now however European countries have a sizable portion of their countries as immigrants and it turns out a lot of people feel like their culture is getting lost.

Add that up with corruption is more out in the open, austerity after the 2008 financial crisis generally failed as a policy and people are very prone to believe “Immigrants are to blame” and vote for right wing parties since they run on an anti-establishment platform.

The left generally believes that we need more immigrants and more social programs and so on but there has been a massive crusade on tax rates which hinders the governments ability to pay for them.

This is all coming together now and the far right narrative is being given a chance in Europe with their anti-immigration stance.

In my opinion this is basically the centre-right trying to get votes by cutting taxes, end up taking on massive debt or gutting quality of life social programs so the only way forward is to fuck over minorities and making the most vulnerable people suffer for the greater good. But tax the well-off, rich, wealth, land, capital gains, profits? Nooooo, can’t do that because they fund the political parties. 🙃

Because most self hosted things are free already. It doesn’t apply to FOSS.

The cookie clicker could still be a puzzle as long as you make it impossible to win without using some power-ups because you’ll die sooner of old age. That’s assuming there is a win condition in it. Other clickers are genuinely not puzzles since they’re infinite and not winnable. Not winnable makes them not solvable so they can’t be a puzzle.
