AFAICT, this is a reprint of the same article originally from Rolling Stone https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/heavy-metal-changed-my-life-1235305372/

Oh, neat. I’ll be taking a look-see when I get to my bigger screen. Thanks for sharing!

I was just taking a peek at the various frontends supported by lemmy.ca, and I was wondering if the admins here have any insight into their respective use?

I'm going to bet the default (lemmy-ui) is most popular, but do any of the other frontends get far-and-away more use than the other alternatives? Has there been any trends up or down? Just thought I'd ask.

As an aside, if any of the frontend developers happen across this post, well done to all of you! I can immediately see the appeal of each, so each niche is being filled darn well!

Edit: to be clear, I'm talking about the frontends listed on the lemmy.ca main sidebar.

So, there are a lot of words in the post that I'm not familiar with (LoRA, Oobabooga, CivitAI). However, I think those are details about the actual library or package you're looking at, so I will not touch any of that.

I can strict answer the question "what is Yarn?"

Long story short, it's a direct "competitor" to NPM (Node Package Manager). In the earlier days of Node and NPM, Yarn was an attempt to improve certain weaknesses perceived in NPM (including speed and security). Yarn is still used in many codebases, but it's become less popular over the years as NPM has resolved many of the things that Yarn sought to fix. Also, Yarn version 2 made a major design change which some have viewed as too radical (though I'm unclear on the details as I've only dabbled in v2).

Reboot

It may not be the answer I gave at the time, but it's the best balance now of "liked it as a kid" and "like it as an adult"

I am a few hours into Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. The first couple hours were unfortunately spent troubleshooting, so my overall impression is less good than Human Revolution, but now I’m picking up good speed on it.

I get it...I've never been the maintainer of a codebase that's deployed on trillions of devices, and backwards compatibility is something to be taken seriously and responsibly when you're that prolific. I do not begrudge SQLite or any large projects when they make decisions in service to that.

However

It always makes me feel oddly icky when known bugs (particularly of the footgun variety) become the new standard that the project intentionally upholds.

So, I will start by saying "Yes, you can do it. It's not too late and programming is fun and fulfilling".

However! One thing my experience has taught me in seeing people approach and bounce off programming is: programming is a fail-til-you-get-it type of endeavour. Your first several years will be littered with broken code, because there are a thousand little things you have to bump up against before you unlock one more puzzle piece.

So! If you go for it, persevere! You aren't a bad programmer, or a slow learner, because you can't get your code to work. Every single one of us ran into the same issue, and we just had to push through, learn to Google, and try again until it sorta-kinda works. You in 10 years will be embarrassed by what you write in your first years

Welcome to Lemay! Enjoy your stay 😛

What portion of your village work IN or NEAR your village? Or is it a very commute-heavy work life?

Current favourite from the album, but it was also the first single so it's had the most time to stew and drill its way in.

I started Game Grumps over a decade ago, and still enjoy most videos to one degree or another. Most games they don't finish, but they always have at least one game that they are working through

My last week has been filled with Marvels Midnight Suns. XCom meets deck builder meets dating simulator-lite. I’m having a blast, considering none of those genres are my forte

The whole "Alt-Right Playbook" series is worth watching, IMO

That’s a fair point. I’ve always assumed it was a form of rate-limiting, but you’re right, that’ll be part of their analytics at least

 

Version: 1.0.187 (187)

Hardware: Google Pixel 7

Expected behavior: When swiping "back" on the main/posts page, expect to see "Are you sure you want to exit? Y/N"-type notification. "No" will return you to the app, whereas "Yes" will "close" the app (as in, reopening the app is a fresh open, not 'pick up where you left off'/minimize)

Observed behavior: Swiping "back" on the main/posts page just minimizes the app
