Moved to Europe
I’m a web dev with a wife who is a researcher, and on the side I’ve built a few tools for her work. Web apps are great because cross-platform distribution and compatibility are non-issues. If you don’t need a database or server-side logic, a client-side only application is basically free to host given that it’s ultimately just a pile of static files. You can use localstorage for persistence, and because there’s no server logic you have a lot fewer security implications to worry about.
JavaScript gets a bad rap, but if you pair it with typescript and decent tooling it’s really not bad. HTML and CSS are an incredibly powerful engine for building UI, which is only getting better.
Which is why we stopped using “gay” as a pejorative a long time ago?
So there’s a storage protocol called “S3” (I wanna say it stands for simple scalable storage?), first created by Amazon for AWS. Many types of software, including backup programs, have been designed to use it as a storage backend. There are now many S3 compatible providers, last I looked the best value was backblaze B2.
You need a backup program with end-to-end encryption, S3 compatibility, and whatever other features you like. I use restic but it’s CLI only, there’s also borg backup and many others.
If you encrypt locally with a good key, you don’t have to trust the remote storage provider. They just see a bunch of meaningless noise. Just don’t lose the key or your backup is useless.
Friend, you need therapy. There’s no shame in it, it’s just healthcare like any other. Happiness and peace aren’t as far away as you feel right now.
i build websites
Go ask your gay friend if they can tell a difference
Arrays start at 0
I fuuuhuhuhucking hate this condescending, pestering dark pattern that apparently every single designer on the planet is required to use
They didn’t even clean up the rubble
Are the newer ones any better? I’m not replacing my CPU, mobo, and ram for like a 25% improvement
I love how parentheses on function calls in ruby are optional. Is it a variable? Is it a function? Where does it come from? Who the hell knows! Try to run it and find out, loser
That exact error is why I only want to work in typed languages now
I think the focus on short, simple functions combined with DRY code leads to many early, poorly chosen abstractions. Getting out from under a bad abstraction can be painful.
Im not saying every word of it is wrong, just that the sum total of all his advice is. I don’t think there’s any school of thought that says it’s good for a function named ‚writeToFile’ to be doing other stuff
Wait he actually calls himself uncle bob? Creeper
Regarding the experience thing, I’d like to point out that a lot of us have experience that says „clean code” is a real pain in the ass to work with and think through.
I think it’s telling that none of his talks even make it all the way through his SOLID acronym, he sorta just trails off when he’s out of time.
His ideas were real big in the ruby community back when I was learning it, and if I ever go back that code is such a pain to work with. Almost impossible to follow the logic, inheritance everywhere, and I even thought metaprogramming was a good idea. Tests are the only reason that code has any reliability at all.
Now most of my code is procedural or functional, favors composition over inheritance, and is colocated as much as possible.
Im so excited to finally get icc color calibration
