  • Do you prefer a polite request with an implicit punishment-threat or an outright demand with an explicit punishment-threat? Also, why?

    Jump

  • If I understand this correctly, the polite request is meant to be passive aggressive flattery and the outright demand is the honest tone that gets to the point. I think in written form I prefer the polite request to avoid panicking immediately. In person, I'd panic anyway. So I prefer the outright demand, because I can't handle passive aggressive attacks at all. Usually I'll reflect their politeness before I understand the matter and then when they assume that I'm not taking it seriously, they get more intense which scares me long-term.

    EDIT: No, actually, forget it. I'd prefer the outright demand even in written form. I get chills when I think about encounters with passive aggressive demands...

  • Those who live outside of the US, what's something Americans aren't ready to hear?

    Jump

  • The USA is neither the best country nor the worst country. It's just one of the countries.

  • Why do we cry when we are sad?

    Jump

  • The reasoning behind a lot of "only humans do that" is that it's unexplored.

  • quick MBTI test rule

  • I thought I was INFJ. I'm glad to learn that in reality I'm undefinedNFP.

  • Which fictional character's death affected you most?

    Jump

  • In Omori

    Mari's death and how it happened - I still feel pressure on my chest whenever I think about it. Since a missclick lead me accidentally to the alternative ending at first, it was even worse...

  • Productivity vs muscle memory/knowledge

    Jump

  • Me, too, and it works for other Linux distros, but in this case it's a Windows Sandbox. Unless it's copy and paste, for this case it wouldn't be worth it and I assume there can be similar situations in the future for other reasons.

    I once started to work on auto-setup scripts for Windows, but the unpredictable nature of it made me give up on that :D

  • Productivity vs muscle memory/knowledge

    Jump

  • Since fish abbreviations get replaced by the actual abstracted content before the execution, I'm more concise about the tools. And thus I'd remember the ways without my setup better. Then again, it only works for small stuff.

  • Productivity vs muscle memory/knowledge

    Jump

  • This is cool! It doesn't fit my current situation. The temporary system I'm dealing with now is a Windows Sandbox for a school project. While it could take a few minutes to install winget and the necessary tools, I'd rather not risk the potential of troubleshooting time, because of the limited amount of time I work on it physically (and because I'm cursed with troubleshooting nightmares on Windows).

    But I'll have a look on xxh. It could definitely improve my comfort with servers that do not maintain nushell packages.

  • What's your Game Of The Year?

    Jump

  • Drova - Forsaken Kin...well, it's the only 2024 game I played.

  • Are the dreams of youth the regrets of maturity? Really?

    Jump

  • I assume that every decision I make I'll regret for what could have been and embrace for what has become. And that's only the small part of the future I get to decide.

  • What futuristic work of fiction is humanity closest to becoming?

    Jump

  • Contagion and Children of Men - while they didn't look far into the future and dealt with existing problems, it's still horrifyingly accurate.

  • What's on the bottom?

    Jump

  • That's an interesting question. I'll try to get to the bottom of this.

  • You receive an emergency alert: "BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL." What do you do? How do you think your neighborhood will react? What memes be on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I'll dodge.

  • Terms for intentional anti-extensibility

    Jump

  • Thank you! That's exactly what I need, but I probably have a unique case where I as the developer am the cause for the feature creep myself. For work, luckily our product is an ERP software, so in most cases I'm naturally uninterested for more features :D

  • Terms for intentional anti-extensibility

    Jump

  • But I do choose this approach for these problems to not have reusable code on purpose xD I'm not try-harding to rewrite everything for every feature separately, so most of it would be separated and modular, as long as it's required by the initial purpose of the software. However I avoid writing generic and reusable code that only gets rewarded with functional scalability in mind.

    And unit testing is honestly not on my list for these kinds of projects. At best I'd write integration tests to challenge the route handlers. But simply using the software is sufficient to cover the predictably unpredictable usage in these cases.

    Jump

  • Thanks for the recommendations. A missing understanding of what needs to be reusable could be a problem. E.g. in my example when I add a DAO-like interface just to implement it for the two entities I have, I invite my future self to add unnecessary features to make more use of that interface and other generic components.

  • Terms for intentional anti-extensibility

    Jump

  • This is the kind of extreme solution I want to discover with a fitting search term. But personally, I still want to be able to fix bugs and update dependencies. I don't want to lock down the project, but only the features.

  • Terms for intentional anti-extensibility

    Jump

  • Yup, but I struggle to find results about intentional usage of anti-patterns. I mean, it's actually a good thing, but... :/

    Jump

  • I use mostly Rust. I meant "extending" in terms of features.
