most things seem to have settled on this, but tabs are so much better for accessibility. programmers with bad vision can have trouble differentiating smaller indentation levels, while some of them just bump the font size up so high that 4 spaces takes up too much screen space. each one can set a tab width that is comfortable for them. https://alexandersandberg.com/articles/default-to-tabs-instead-of-spaces-for-an-accessible-first-environment/ has some good arguments

with a forced formatter and a configured editor there really isn’t any argument for spaces

4 to 5 added like 2 tags, but was fully backwards compatibile. the painful upgrade you’re thinking of was 3 to 4 where they basically rewrote, it but don’t have any tutorial content other than one of the main devs making an absurdly long series of walkthrough videos so it’s impossible to find the topic you’re interested in

the codebase readability certainly suffers, and this isn’t the only case of shenanigans like this

found the following in our codebase the other day.

while(booleanFlag)
    return;

thhere wasn’t more in the loop body, that was it. the loop conditional does exist and it can hurt you.

linting config itself wouldn’t be defined there, and it would be verified in ci and such, but a setting to tell vscode which linter and extension it should use to show warnings would be.

modern languages may have their own way for configuration but they don’t have a way to bind it to the list of vscode tasks and define how to run a debugger, which is the part that gets stored.

it’s easy to go overboard with extension suggestions, but I don’t think adding an extension for linter used, extension for formatter used, and any languages used if there’s a definitive extension.

My team is split between visual studio, vscode, and I use emacs. we have config for both vs and vscode in our repos since it makes working on a new project so much nicer and means we aren’t just sharing editor configs through side channels instead. it doesn’t do anything to me if I have editor config for an IDE I don’t use in the repo, but it makes it easier for someone new to jump in with a sort of same environment immediately

on one hand I agree. on the other, google has historically been afraid of the verb to google becoming generic, so of course I’d like to see that happen.

I think the middle ground is say google it, but make it clear you mean google it on an alternative search engine

you don’t think they’ll just use some app to verify it? my state’s mdl doesn’t even show any personal info other than name, if they want birthday they have to scan it

fwiw, my state’s mobile id app doesn’t even ask for the location permission. so maybe some, but it’s not universal

your phone isn’t safe from anyone unless it’s been restarted since last unlocked, and is reasonably new. they have exploits for after it’s been unlocked incl while things are pinned

you realize they’re more than just your picture on a screen, right? there’s a whole public key private key verification process that happens, which covers your photo and personal info, at least from what I understand of ISO 18013-5.

if anything it should be almost impossible to make a fake mobile id, barring exploits in reader software or the govt leaking their private key.

I assume that’s just the actual vegetable, Google translate says that’s correct

yeah. stopping support helps end it, but in russia’s favor

but stability isn’t something that would drive a gentoo user away either.

a lot of the draw of gentoo from what I saw was being able to configure everything down to how it gets compiled. it’s simple to apply a patch to a package before it gets built or maintain a custom kernel config in nixos, as well as all the advantages of declarative os

that is a can of Folgers. I’d argue that incriminating a kitchen scale in the process makes it even worse

json doesn’t have ints, it has Numbers, which are ieee754 floats. if you want to precisely store the full range of a 64 bit int (anything larger than 2^53 -1) then string is indeed the correct type

is that not just a checkbox when you install though?

A lot of languages have an asunc/await facade for tasks run on a background thread for result (c#, clj, py, etc), but it’s certainly not the default anywhere, and go most goroutines(?)/other csp implementations are probably going to be yielding for some io most of the time at the bottom anyway

I’ve also had none of these issues on jellyfin either

if skyrim has taught me anything, it’s that wearing jewelry that says single will attract literally everyone

I’ve found nixos is perfect for me since I like how precisely I can configure it.

Oddly enough, I’ve had a decent chunk of my only barely technical friend group switch to it for the opposite reason. They all just copypaste snippets of config between each other, and if something breaks they just go back a revision. I doubt any of them spend much time configuring anything. It really is the perfect idiot proof distro and I don’t normally see people talking about that side of it
