Are you sure about this being true in Japanese? Open source culture over there might be different, and I don’t think many Western fonts include Japanese glyphs.

It’s likely, but I wouldn’t extrapolate from my Western experiences in this case.

Yep and I have less time for all these things when I spend the time setting up monitoring.

Fixing takes the same time either way. But I barely ever have to touch my setup anyway, because usually ot doesn’t just break randomly.

What do you need quick? I have a Minecraft server, a wiki for random stuff, a shopping list, a calendar sync, photo hosting, a media server and probably some other shit on there.

I can think of many situations where I’d want those quickly, but need I don’t anything.

Of course the mental health team is bleeding talent, it’s probably (initially) consisted of people that actually care about mental health, and they gradually figured out that no matter what they do or try, the technology they work for can only ever be a net negative on mental health. I would also wash my hands off it as fast as possible and go back to actually contributing to positive mental health.

Assuming the uptime of your services are in any way important.

I’m not running a business here, I’ve got no big stakeholders. If something doesn’t work, at most me or someone close to me is affected. No one really cares if something is not available for a day.

I spent 0 minutes on monitoring and don’t intend to start now :D

Maybe you should. Android for example does not use glibc and instead uses “Bionic” by default, which only implements a subset of libc.

It is possible to write a C program that runs on one system but not on another. You can’t do that with node, if it runs on the VM and the VM runs in another place, your program will also run there.

What if the system does not have libc? What if your program needs obscure library X?

Why do you think anyone even came up with the idea of virtual machines? Don’t you think they had a problem they wanted to solve, that was not solved adequately before?

Because you have to figure out how to build them. And with that I mean, how do you make sure that whatever you’re doing will work and work the same way not only on your “embebbed ARM v7” architecture and all the other CPU architectures, but also the operating system libraries included? How do you make it work the same way on Mac, Windows 7, Windows 11, Ubuntu, custom Arch installations, FreeBSD, etc etc?

If you build native binaries, you personally are the one who has to make sure it runs. This means (depending on how much you want to support) a lot of development or support time. (Or you make your users build it themselves and fix errors, which means a massively reduced userbase, good luck with adoption…)

If you use Node, (or other virtual machines) you literally don’t have to do anything, because it just works.

You really don’t see the value in that?

Node does not require an excessive amount of resources.

Perfect explanation. This kind of thing shows why tech giants are giants and why selfhosted is a niche. People like paying for convenience.

I’m sorry, I was enjoying myself in RL the last few days and haven’t visited Lemmy. Thanks for your message, I will now commence feeling bad based on your suggestion and fall into deep self doubt and feelings of unworthiness.

This is such a weird article. Electron is not for making http requests, it’s for rendering web pages. Nothing within curl can render web pages. I’m not saying you should be using electron necessarily, but this is just so obviously wrong, what is the author thinking?

And (almost) any programming language has a built-in primitive for making http requests (possibly even using libcurl internally), why would I switch to a command line call if I can just do the http call directly with that primitive?

“You” are not which hobbies you have or the topics you’re interested in. The fact that I can even form this sentence and it’s not nonsensical should already prove that. I feel like it is self-evident.

You exist, and you go through multiple interests. That means there must be some “you” that is not connected to these interests.

So, why do you define yourself by your interests? Because in our society, specialization is disproportionately rewarded, while a multi-spectrum approach (forgot the word, generalism?) is not. Everyone wants to feel useful in society and we’re made to not feel that. But it’s not that having ADHD makes us useless, it’s just that almost no one bothers to invest in/use our strengths.

So, no, this is neither an attack, nor can you not have a sense of identity. Multiple changing interests are not bad. Not being specialized in one thing is not bad. I’m proud of knowing a lot about a lot of different things. I like who I am, with ADHD, and you should, too.

Dunno, just didn’t want to make a statement I’m not sure of.

Forced arbitration clauses are not legal in many European jurisdictions, so “agreeing” to them didn’t actually do anything.

You really don’t get having to pay for things, do you?

With the difference that code actually is easily changeable, if you need to change a wall you actually need to tear it down, get rid of the waste, likely tear everything down that was supported by it, and completely rebuild it with new materials.

If you need to change the foundations of your code, yes, it’s not always super easy, but it is actually possible and I’ve done it before without super big headaches.

It’s just not comparable.

Is there a tldw somewhere before I watch 3.5 hours?

Not quite true… by default it goes to the previous/next tab in the list, but if you accidentally clicked somewhere else entirely in the list then going back/forward from that point does not get you to the tab you previously had selected.

Afaik there is a setting for it, but you have to have it enabled beforehand so it builds the history.

Oh wow you really need better people around you then :( there are people that don’t mind your executive disfunction, and I know that life then suddenly gets much different.
