I guess I'll play devil's advocate.

The reason tech people are often managed by less techy people is becuase managing and taking responsibility for delivery means more than just the tech. A good manager will devolve the actual decisions of how things are done so long as things are ACTUALLY delivered to an appropriate timescale and to cost where possible.

As a highly specialized field it to me wouldn't seem fair to expect every manager of a team of developers to understand all of the complexities of development while also acting as the gate between your business and us as the people doing implementation.

I'm always going to levy the modern argument of storage is cheap now.

Go the safe route and take a whole GUID. Even though I know it isn't what you want. Don't risk the collisions. Instead imagine the cost of having to solve a collision if you did take the risk.

@nitwhiz @allantaylor314 It's a raspberry Pi 3b+ from PiHut or one of their approved traders, they often sell branded cases as a part of a pack (I think, OP will know better)

Hey come on see the perks in DevOps - write your scripts, all pretty standard development activity. Put them in a glorious CI/CD pipeline accept issues are coming then trigger your release and go for a coffee, come back deal with the issue and repeat. Built in breaks!

I'd also like to throw my anecdotal evidence into the mix - of 3 years using visual studio I've never once HAD to reinstall. There were issues sometimes but most were fixed by restarting it. I'm pretty sure the same can be said by most of my team

@LuxARTS Umm visual studio wasn't made with electron - VScode was and it's one of the best regarded text editors. Not an IDE.

Fasthub is highly recommended by me :)

@zemaitis I see the logic here but you have to sometimes look past the logic. If people enjoy a facet of their life I don't think anybody should tear that away.

If we weren't to enjoy the little things then we'd have an even more depressing world than we already do, lighten up. Let him enjoy his green lights

@nemyxa telegram is not suited for thread based messaging hahah.

@ThatDannyBoy I'd highly recommend looking into https://rocket.chat/
I haven't used it personally but it's open source and can be self hosted and it looks fairly feature complete :)

@lamka02sk don't worry about it, couldn't tell if you weren't sure or just an honest mistake. Good luck setting up your environment how you'd like. Hopefully I've given you some alleys to explore.

Tomorrow or a coming day will be better!

@lamka02sk more simply, just install the Deepin Desktop Environment on Ubuntu. Seems straight forward enough

@lamka02sk Careful now, plasma and unity are desktop environments not distros. Don't want a lynch mob coming for you.

In this case is recommend kubuntu maybe? Or elementary OS if you like the MacOS vibe.

Depending on your stack maybe a flavour of manjaro might suit if you want to be on the bleeding edge? Though being what sounds like a more Debian focused person that might not work.

@Ederbit @erroronline1 You can apparently download a tarball of it and make the solution to run it directly. Not sure exactly of the nuances, but I'm sure there's a way.

@erroronline1 set up a cloud git repository of choice (gitlab, GitHub, azure dev ops etc). That will solve your problem of having to use two machines... You just pull and push your changes.

Unless you're saying you physically can't use git on one of the machines

@alexbrooklyn ah that makes more sense :)

Surely this is going to lead to five minutes of shuffling through paper every time you think you have something relevant on your print outs..

@ThatDannyBoy seems cool, and thanks for the videos I'll give em a peruse :)

Would you be willing to give someone like me who has no knowledge of what Hugo is a quick explanation of what it is and why you'd use it?

I'm specifically interested cause I'm interested in Go on a potential language to learn

I don't think they should be called stingy for giving a reward, no matter what it is.

As a developer I wouldn't want a bug report from a user just because they gain something out of it... I'd want them to feel as though they were giving something back to the thing I created or helped to create.

@cervantes01 lol apparently these Devs leave their apps in development mode too

Pretty sure brave has been about for years I remember using it quite a while ago.. I also can't verify this right now but I recall reading that it has a lot of phoning home going on underneath. Definitely do some research before trusting it. Also it's eight times faster claim is only because of a built in adblocker

@ScriptCoded Most places prefer guids to IDs normally to prevent sequence based attacks anyway, I'd say unless you have a good reason to use numerical IDs I would go with a guid

You could use guids as IDs rather than numerical IDs to prevent that sort of issue.

Google pay lets you pay with your fingerprint if you really want... Or if it's available where you are.

@KingMilo I wouldn't really know too much on the python front sorry. I mean there are banks here that still require PASCAL from time to time, so I'm sure some must use a bit of everything 🙂

@KingMilo happy to help and I were to make an educated guess I'd say Microsoft give enterprise support to those who pay and banks etc can pay, also C# won't be vanishing anytime soon, tonnes of libraries, very well documented, established and has a tonne of uses. Many reasons, I'd imagine there's other languages that could be used but they would be mine personally

@cursee @KingMilo R might be used by those guys but probably not in a mostly development role since it's for statistical analysis, there's plenty of investment banks/hedge fund sorts in the UK who are using C# though.

@52cal looking into domain driven development/design might clear things up

I think monetising content that doesn't give any functional advantage is completely fair for a service they provide to us, plus they give a completely reasonable alternative way of getting the cosmetics. Personally I like the method.

8 hours for a full charge though haha
