Thanks! So much for my reading skills/attention span 😂
Which Debian version is it based on?
RE Go: Others have already mentioned the right way, thought I’d personally prefer ~/opt/go
over what was suggested.
RE Perl: To instruct Perl to install to another directory, for example to ~/opt/perl5
, put the following lines somewhere in your bash init files.
export PERL5LIB="$HOME/opt/perl5/lib/perl5${PERL5LIB:+:${PERL5LIB}}"
export PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT="$HOME/opt/perl5${PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT:+:${PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT}}"
export PERL_MB_OPT="--install_base \"$HOME/opt/perl5\""
export PERL_MM_OPT="INSTALL_BASE=$HOME/opt/perl5"
export PATH="$HOME/opt/perl5/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}"
Though you need to re-install the Perl packages you had previously installed.
First off, I was ready to close the tab at the slightest suggestion of using Velocity as a metric. That didn’t happen 🙂
I like the idea that metrics should be contained and sustainable. Though I don’t agree w/ the suggested metrics.
In general, it seems they are all designed around the process and not the product. In particular, there’s no mention of the “value unlocked” in each sprint: it’s an important one for an Agile team as it holds Product accountable to understanding of what is the $$$ value of the team’s effort.
The suggested set, to my mind, is formed around the idea of a feature factory line and its efficiency (assuming it is measurable.) It leaves out the “meaning” of what the team achieve w/ that efficiency.
My 2 cents.
Good read nonetheless 👍 Got me thinking about this intriguing topic after a few years.
This is fantastic! 👏
I use Perl one-liners for record and text processing a lot and this will be definitely something I will keep coming back to - I’ve already learned a trick from “Context Matching” (9) 🙂
That was my case until I discovered that GNU tar has got a pretty decent online manual - it’s way better written than the manpage. I rarely forget the options nowadays even though I dont’ use tar
that frequently.
TBH I use whatever build tool is the better fit for the job, be it Gradle, SBT or Rebar.
But for some (presumably subjective) reason, I like GNU Make quite a lot. And whenever I get the chance I use it - esp since it’s somehow ubiquitous nowadays w/ all the Linux containers/VMs everywhere and Homebrew on Mac machines.
A bit too long for my brain but nonetheless it written in plain English, conveys the message very clearly and is definitely a very good read. Thanks for sharing.
That single line of Lisp is probably (defmacro generate-compiler (...) ...)
which GCC folks call every time they decide to implement a new compiler 😆
When i read the title, my immediate thought was “Mojolicious project renamed? To a name w/ an emoji!?” 😂
We plan to open-source Mojo progressively over time
Yea, right! I can’t believe that there are people who prefer to work on/with a closed source programming language in 2023 (as if it’s the 80’s.)
… can move faster than a community effort, so we will continue to incubate it within Modular until it’s more complete.
Apparently it was “complete” enough to ask the same “community” for feedback.
I genuinely wonder how they managed to convince enthusiasts to give them free feedback/testing (on github/discord) for something they didn’t have access to the source code.
PS: I didn’t downvote. I simply got upset to see this happening in 2023.
I’ve been using sdkman for about a decade now and am totally pleased w/ it. It does a very good job of managing JDK versions for you and much more, eg SBT, Gradle, Scala, Groovy, Leiningen, SpringBoot, …
Now, technically you could use sdkman in your CI/CD pipeline too but I’d find it a strong smell. I’ve always used dedicated images pre-configured for a particular JDK version in the pipeline.
I work primarily on the JVM & the projects (personal/corporate) I work w/ can be summarised as below:
docker-compose.yml
.However one approach that I’ve always been fond of (& apply/advocate wherever I can) is to replace (3) w/ a Makefile
containing a bunch of standard targets shared across all repos, eg test
, integration-test
. Then Makefiles are thinly customised to fit the repo’s particular repo.
This has proven to be very helpful wrt congnitive load (and also CI/CD pipelines): ALL projects, regardless of the toolchain, use the same set of commands, namely
make test
make integration-test
make compose-up
make run
In short (quoting myself here):
Don’t repeat yourself. Make Make make things happen for you!
Since I haven’t heard/read about any bugs, I plan to release v5.0.0 on the 13th (😬)
I’ll keep this post, well, posted 🙂
Recently, I’ve found myself posting more often on Mastodon a Lemmy & blog way less - indeed credits go to Fediverse and the mods for making it a safe and welcoming place ❤
Here’s my latest one: https://www.bahmanm.com/2023/07/firefox-profiles-quickly-replicate-your-settings.html
It’s not self-hosted, rather I’m using Google’s blogspot. I used to host my own website and two dozens of clients’ and friends’ until a few years ago (using Plone and Zope.) But at some point, my priorities changed and I retired my rock-solid installations and switched to blogspot.
I agree w/ you RE posts looking horrible 👍
Though I’d say for one-liners like this, it’s mostly OK. It gets really messy when folks post more complex posts and mention and tag a bunch of times.
I’m afraid I can’t be of any help 😕
Any error logs? Try launching things from the terminal and note down any messages that are printed there.
That’s a good question 💯 In my case too, it took me some time (read years 😂) to figure out what I’m comfortable w/.
I can think of 3 major ways that you can navigate the filesystem while being able to drop to a shell when you need it:
dired
and tramp
on your machine to access/navigate the target machine.emacs-nox
) on the target machine, SSH and then run emacs-nox
and voila! No need for tramp
in this scenario.mc
) which offers a TUI pretty much like Norton Commander (nc
) from the days of yore.cd
, pushd
& popd
) to move around. That is
/usr/share
or /opt
) and try to follow the same pattern when rolling your own software installations.rpm -q --list
is what you usually need.HTH
I didn’t like the capitalised names so configured xdg to use all lowercase letters. That’s why
~/opt
fits in pretty nicely.You’ve got a point re
~/.local/opt
but I personally like the idea of having the important bits right in my home dir. Here’s my layout (which I’m quite used to now after all these years):$ ls ~ bin desktop doc downloads mnt music opt pictures public src templates tmp videos workspace
where
bin
is just a bunch of symlinks to frequently used apps fromopt
src
is where i keep clones of repos (but I don’t do work insrc
)workspace
is a where I do my work on git worktrees (based offsrc
)
