    Superiority brings controversy

  • Dude, Nix is amazing. Like, want to update? No problem. Want to install a new WM? No problem. Switching from GNOME to KDE? Done.

    Like, not only is it crazy stable, it makes everything as easy as editing line a in a file.

    Love Nix.

  • That’s why I love Nix! Builds programs in isolation, so they always have the dependencies they need, no conflicts!

  • The new system to replace Reddit coins and awards is here. You got out at the right time.

  • Just in good fun.

  • Love myself some NixOS. All the customizability with none of the breakage. Pretty stable, very reproducible.

  • I can stop anytime I want!

  • Never underestimate the powers of Arch elitism!

  • python < shell (for scripts)

  • Speed is a serious problem in Python though. Python has its use cases, and so do other languages. Things would not end well if we started using Python for everything.

  • Not really true. Python was created for, and is still best used for data science. It’s user-friendliness made it a first for many inexperienced programmers too, and it started to be used for way more than it was initially intended. I’m not saying it’s bad at everything else, but there’s most certainly better tools for the job.

  • Sometimes there is a better choice than Javascript

  • However, it uses a lot less JS. It’s only a few lines of JS to replace an HTML element, but a lot more to parse a bunch of JSON and then alter the HTML to reflect that.

  • Some websites, JavaScript is necessary for doing things without overloading a server. Mostly SPAs/PWAs and such. I’m using Voyager for Lemmy right now, which needs JS, but it gives me a great experience.

    But yeah, JS is often overused. Luckily, with new technologies coming out like Astro and HTMX, we should hopefully start seeing less JavaScript on pages that don’t need it.

  • Always write comments

    Jump

  • This exactly. I love this approach to commenting and use it all the time. I also like to write doc-comments wherever possible; it’s saves time and makes working on an unfamiliar part of the codebase much easier.

    Please Consider Defederating from rammy.site

    Jump

  • To everyone who’s been telling OP off, claiming “free speech” and such: there’s still free speech. They can say whatever they want, but we don’t want to hear it. To correct myself: the majority of us don’t want to hear it. You have every right to convert instances if you disagree. Moderation is always going to be opinion-based; everyone has their own opinion of right and wrong.

    So don’t talk about “free speech” and then wonder why you get downvoted into oblivion. We simply don’t want to have to deal with this nonsense. Keep in mind too that Lemmy doesn’t let you block an instance yet(AFAIK); it’s up to the instance admins. Just like a government, a user is going to pick the instance to best represent them. And just like a government, that instance will probably act in favor of the majority. So please just stop complaining. There is no plus to federating with rammy.site and frankly, we don’t need them.

  • Well that didn't go as expected...

  • I don’t have a need for that atm(like I said, my laptop has a separate drive), but will look into that in case I ever need it in the future. My problem with this personally tho is that I share my drive between Windows and Linux, and Linux doesn’t exactly play well with NTFS. Sounds really cool however for having a multi boot Linux system, with all your files shared between distros.

  • Of course it’s all personal preference, but I’ve been managing my dot files from the very beginning with nix(home manager). Never tried ansible, but, just like you, don’t really need to, as everything is already set up well in Nix(including all my configs for all my programs).
