Ohh I mixed it up with FluentValidations, you are right. I never liked unit tests depending on libraries like that either tbf, vanilla xunit aint that bad either

This whole thing is just a nice reminder to not go overboard and use a 3rd party library when it's completely unnecessary. I never had a need to use sth like fluent validations when you can do pretty much the same thing by writing the validation method directly in your Dto, it's a bit verbose but at least it also lets you have more control over the whole thing. Maybe I just never used it on a scale enough to justify the library but it seems completely superfluous, dunno

I only used obsidian for a few weeks so i didnt get that used to it, but what you mean could be the mental switch from hierarchical file structure in obsidian to logseq's journaling/time based one? You're supposed to organize data with tags rather than remembering their location and structure in folders. I spend most time searching for tags, not specific files, and in that way it's functional enough for me, although I do not really understand the query syntax yet so I am unable to create more complex searches in this way. Tbh I'm hoping the sqllite switch lets me just write direct SQL

For a specific example, instead of having folders like Software > Programming > csharp > my projects > projectx ... I will just have a page for the project that has tags #programming #csharp #myprojects etc. And then I can search for #myproject and see all relevant info for it, even sorted by the date when i added it which adds some nice historical context

I switched to Logseq from Obsidian since I preferred FOSS and it's been a good experience so far. They are working on a big update to switch to an sqlite db for storage which should help with performance (and I hope improve the search experience) so that's exciting too.

It's no reddit in terms of quantity but honesty I've had higher quality topics and discussions here than there. Lemmy/kbin might not have taken off in the mainstream to offer a variety of subjects but when it comes to tech and software I think it's covered well enough and people are generally nicer about it. The main problem is lack of (remotely) good seach function, I dont think the threads are getting indexed by google and the on-site search is atrocious.

I don't know of any discord programming communities, I wish forums were still a thing but the only live one I know of is the jellyfin one after they moved from reddit. Other than that it's here or the various subreddits

I'm hooked all over again, can't wait to get to new content

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm struggling a bit to incorporate that command into podman compose though, I'm reading through this issue and I'm a bit lost.

Do I just add this to sonarr section in my yaml? I tried it and it doesn't seem to have done much

x-podman:
    keep-id:uid=1000

Should I try and switch everything to podman kube play as some user there recommended maybe?

i'm using wayland, seems to have been the default

From what I read on their homepage, RPM Fusion just provides non-free software that Fedora/RH don't usually want to ship themselves, it's just precompiled RPMs for all available Fedora versions. Sounds to me like it should be the same, my currently installed nvidia driver version is 555.58.02 but I have no idea if that correlates to the version of 'nvidia software' app. Ugh every issue is just a pandora box of 10 other problems jumping out and strangling you

edit: Seems to have something to do with wayland/xorg? https://old.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/zxvrxk/nvidia_x_server_settings/ I have no idea what are the implications of this though

First of all, thanks for the suggestion! I am a bit confused though because my NVIDIA settings doesn't have nearly as many options as that one:

Do I have something incorrectly installed? I followed the instructions from the linked resource to install the rpm fusion nvidia drivers since they aren't available on fedora 40 on the store even with the 3rd party repositories enabled

Doesn't that imply you still have to open up your phone to temporarily share to your pc whenever you need it?

[–] Cyno@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this something like the overseerr but for phones?

 

Short explanation of the title: imagine you have a legacy mudball codebase in which most service methods are usually querying the database (through EF), modifying some data and then saving it in at the end of the method.

This code is hard to debug, impossible to write unit tests for and generally performs badly because developers often make unoptimized or redundant db hits in these methods.

What I've started doing is to often make all the data loads before the method call, put it in a generic cache class (it's mostly dictionaries internally), and then use that as a parameter or a member variable for the method - everything in the method then gets or saves the data to that cache, its not allowed to do db hits on its own anymore.

I can now also unit test this code as long as I manually fill the cache with test data beforehand. I just need to make sure that i actually preload everything in advance (which is not always possible) so I have it ready when I need it in the method.

Is this good practice? Is there a name for it, whether it's a pattern or an anti-pattern? I'm tempted to say that this is just a janky repository pattern but it seems different since it's more about how you time and cache data loads for that method individually, rather than overall implementation of data access across the app.

In either case, I'd like to learn either how to improve it, or how to replace it.

 

Was just wondering what's popular nowadays, maybe I find something new and better - what kind of tools are you using to access and manage databases?

I'm personally using Dbeaver a lot but honestly it feels increasingly more buggy and unreliable as time passes, every installation and update has had (unique) issues so far and there's little support. However the ease of use and some powerful, convenient, utilities in it make it preferable to others.

 

It is a common sentiment that managing dependencies is always a big issue in software development and the reason why so many apps come pre-bundled with all the requirements so it reliably works on every machine.

However, I don't actually understand why is that an issue and why people generally bash npm and the way it's done there. Isn't it the simplest and most practical solution to a problem - you have a file which defines which other libraries you need, which version, and then with one command you can install them and run the program?

Furthermore, those libraries and their specific versions can be stored elsewhere and shared across all apps on a system so you can easily reuse them instead of having to redownload for each program individually.

I must be missing something since if it were that easy, people would have solved it years ago and agreed on a standardized best way, so I'm wondering what is the actual issue and a cause of so many headaches.
