Await is usually there either because the performance doesn’t matter and the legibility is much higher with it, and/or because there are a series of asynchronous actions that depend on each other and await lets you write them as if they are sync because related to each other they are.

You will find yourself being that next person when you haven’t touched the code for a week and come back to add something and are like wtf.

Lemon bars 🤤

Graphic audio sells cds as well as direct downloads of mp3s or m4bs chapterized, or even flacc for a surcharge.

They do dramatized audiobook recordings with full casts, music, sound effects, etc.

They are very good

1blocker has so far been pretty good at keeping up with YouTube’s changes on iOS on the iPhone on safari. Safari on iOS has allowed full extensions for several years now.

I remember this being discussed when Apple first announced it because developers have to hand off graphics to the os so the os can do the divested rendering specifically because Apple didn’t want individual apps to be able to gather data about where users are looking.

I have the complete opposite feeling. The more I have to use windows the more irritated I am at it. It’s bloody irritating.

It has window snapping; sure that’s nice, but the default window snapping isn’t that useful for a power user and gets in the way of better window snapping from power toys. On the Mac I also have a third party (better touch tools) app to get custom snap zones that is better than even power toys fancy zones.

But the basic window snapping ends up irritating me more often than it’s useful. I’ll have a window that is on the left side and not half screen. I use window left, and instead of snapping to half it “helpfully” switches monitors.

Also I use multiple desktops. Windows couples all monitor desktops together. I can’t switch just one desktop. On a Mac I can swipe between individual desktops on each screen. This is way more useful to me.

Windows also has a better clipboard manager. But it’s to basic to be useful for me. Only saves 10 things. I install a manager that saves 1000s.

Windows power shell is awful. And worse is googling for how to do anything with a “command line” on Windows because you have to not only figure out what command line they mean but also what damn version.

I’ve had very little trouble switching between Linux and Mac with home brew installed.

Also Windows has a wierd file system. If I use the keyboard command to make a link to a folder it makes a bloody shortcut which a lot of programs ignore.

So instead I get to google what the windows equivalent is of a hard link and how to make one. It’s a junction link and you use the command line. Yay. The command line isnt nearly as helpful. It’s very different from Linux. So very little transfers.

And it doesn’t have history between sessions. “Power” doesn’t have history between sessions.

Mac at least has the decency to use a decent shell in zsh. Zsh is fantastic.

Also on the file system. When you get a select file for upload dialog, if you drag a file you already found in a file window to the dialog, it MOVES the file! Why! No instead you should apparently find the file again in the dialog or copy and paste the path which is way more steps.

On Mac I just drag a file to the select dialog and it auto switches to the location and selects the file. The thing I wanted to do.

If you still “let” them apparently they are young enough

Consultants completely undocumented JavaScript. Had to convert thier entire library to typescript to even get a chance of knowing what they are doing.

If you want to learn vim, try the command vimtutor in a terminal

Bootstraps

But that is a typing weakness of that language. I just prefer using languages where the compiler actually does know what the types are at all time and thus can inform me instead of me trying to make sure that types align correctly.

That is tedious work that has been proven to be a terrible idea to shift onto humans. Strong type systems make much more robust code.

Abap only has one collection type, and its tables. Contextually it’s not hard to read what a collection of things are and what a single thing is.

If I am looping through comments and do something with comment, it’s contextually clear what ma going on. The exact type can be easily checked for when it’s actually needed.

Naming a count of something the plural seems like a much less intuitive thing. Especially sense generally the count is gotten from the collection.

This isn’t even like the worst of it. It’s an old enough language they still thought the compiler shouldn’t have to do more work.

So you have to declare all variables, types, and methods in the top section of the class, and the method implementation in its own section. That means while working on a method, the method signature is a long way away. And because abap developers are allergic to splitting up code into reasonable classes, that can be a couple thousand lines away.

Oh and all classes are in the global namespace. So all the classes you make must start with the letter z because SAP reserves any and all names that don’t start with z.

Oh and they didn’t feel like making library code to do a lot of basic stuff, oh no, they thought that 3000+ keywords was a much better system. Especially sense hovering over a keyword gives no documentation and discoverable is therefore pretty terrible.

Also they wanted everything to be sentenced like so keyword structures are often many special words in specific orders and hopefully you can write enough of it to get a prompt to fill in the rest.

Character limits and a stupid badly used Hungarian notation to waste limited characters to tell use what the ide already knows.

If you have a table, (that’s an array for sane programmers) name the variable as a plural and we will know it’s a table.

Don’t name two variables the same stupid abbreviation with different Hungarian notation characters stuck to the front

Just recently in may built my first gaming computer, initial put in a 1tb pcie gen 4 m.2 drive that cost about 70 euro. Within a month or two I saw a sale for another gen 4 drive with 2tb for 100 euro and jumped on that to bring my system to 3tb of very fast storage.

A large oven uses a lot of electricity that is wasted for heating up that entire space.

An air fryer is nothing but a small convection oven. That means it heats up almost instantly, wastes much less heat, can circulate the air much faster for faster baking, and uses substantially less heat. And it doesn’t generate the smell of deep frying.

We use ours almost every day. The oven is basically not used unless we make full size pizza.

The standard convection oven isn’t a better tool except in size.

Our air fryer is also quite good at making things like potatoes or tofu crispy, not deep fried crispy, but nice and crispy without that much oil or the amount of time it would need in the convection oven.

This is what we named our wifi, previously was fbi surveillance van

Nice try chaptgpt, you won’t get any secrets that expose you from me 😼

I generally use a for each type loop or a map because I am usually applying some function across a collection, and in both cases I use the singular name from the collections plural.

’Cities.map(city -> …)’

For (val city in cities)

If I actually need the index for some reason I still prefer loop structures that give me the index and the item together

*note syntax pulled out of my head and not necessarily belonging to any specific language.

For ( city, index in cities)

cities.map((city, index) -> … )

If I need to double loop a matrix array I would use rowIndex and ColIndex for the indexes.

macOS, and after having to use virtual desktops on windows for work, I appreciate macs spaces implementation so much more.

I have windows 11 on my gaming computer and that’s fine with a third party clipboard manager, and powertoys.

Windows 10 in the office even with powertoys and a third party clipboard manager still annoys me.

The virtual desktop includes all monitors as one desktop. If you switch one screen to a different desktop it switches all of them. On my Mac I can switch per screen with a swipe.

Also the virtual desktop overview is laggy so moving windows between virtual desktops is a pain. Furthermore in that overview you can only move windows between the same monitors virtual desktop, you can move across monitors for whatever reason.
