Maybe talk to her, and communicate your desire as explicitly as you just did to the internet?

Definitely describes my switch back in 2008 when canonical still sent out Ubuntu CDs for free in the mail. We had dial up so it was faster for them to mail me a CD than to try and download the image myself.

Whoops, I flubbed that message hard and didn't catch it at the time: Meant to say "don't use centralized databases." They definitely use databases lmao. No idea how I screwed that message up so hard. I blame ADHD for not proofreading.

Just so we're on the same page, let me be more specific. I'm saying the individuals in the article were making terrible decisions. Lots of them.

I am also saying that UUIDs are good primary keys for very specific purposes: Large, distributed systems that handle large amounts of small data, powered by databases like Cassandra that are designed to handle millions of record insertions per hour across several hundred nodes, to the point where inserts are very likely to happen at the exact same time on two different replicas of the same schema.

Hope that makes more sense than my previous flub. lol

I've heard this approach called the "continuity of identity", referring to the fact that the thing existed the whole time, even while being slowly replaced

It's less about refactoring and more about navigation of your code while editing. Ever wanted to delete a single word? daw deletes the word your cursor is currently in. How about "copy everything up to (but not including) the nearest "D" on the current line? yfD.

The whole point is that editing code in the middle of writing it, not just refactoring it, is immensely faster.

Hope your pinkies are ok

The solution for me is that I run Nextcloud on a Kubernetes cluster and pin a container version. Then every few months I update that version in my deployment yaml to the latest one I want to run, and run kubectl apply -f nextcloud.yml and it just does its thing. Never given me any real trouble.

TIL a new word. Thanks, stranger! 🙂

"I never thought the face eating leopards would eat my face!"

The point is less about body shaming and more about shaming the person's "small dick energy". Eg the kind of behavior you'd expect from someone who thinks dick size matters a ton and would buy nice things to try and compensate for their lack of size.

You definitely don't need to know anything about writing code to use Linux! The closest thing to it is the terminal, which is something you basically never need to use on a standard setup like Pop!OS or Mint. I've gotten plenty of my friends using Linux, many of them have never even had to look at a terminal.

People doing the u/ before the someone's fully-qualified username is such a weird thing to see.
