    Should … Should we tell OP that nobody understands all of any moderately large codebase, especially the sub-dependencies … or that even the thousands of developers who wrote most of that code don’t understand how their own code works anymore?

    I could read the same book every year and I still won’t remember most of the minor events on my deathbed. Doesn’t mean I won’t remember the key components that make up the story — coding is like that, except the minor events and key components can be rewritten or removed by someone else whenever you go to read them next.







  • Looks aight but I consider it overkill for my needs. I have my own system which is just creating a note titled ‘YY-MM-DD Desc/Model’ when I purchase something and adding compressed images & scans of the label/serial, sometimes packaging, user guide, etc.

    I then just print a dymo label for the product, components, cables, and spare parts using the note title so I can search the date and pull it up if I need. Makes dealing with a mountain of cables and power adapters much easier. I never pull something out of storage and go “what the fuck is this” anymore.

    Testing and tagging USB-C cables is especially helpful, too. They usually have no indication of what speed or power they can handle.




  • As someone who couldn’t name a single Swift song up until a couple of months ago — From what I read she writes the vast majority of her songs, which is exceptionally rare for pop stars; especially from such a young age… The songs may be simplistic and formulaic, but the lyrics are decent for the age they were written at, and the work ethic and genre jumping is impressive. The most admirable thing about her is how she’s screwing venture capitalists by re-recording all the songs she wrote. I hope she starts redistributing all that wealth she’s extracting.

    Here’s what I would do as a fellow ADHD’er:

    • back up everything
    • create a windows VM of my current windows state and delete the dual boot (only boot into linux)
    • write out complete list of all windows apps you’ve used, as well as any CLI apps, extensions, packages (e.g. chocolatey).
    • 1-by-1 (!!!) find an alternative, install it, copy all it’s config (text or screenshots) across.

    I would also delete or disable the app in Windows if I find the alternative to be sufficient… You don’t want to be using both apps on both OS’s at the same time. The Windows VM is just for apps that have no sufficient linux alternative.


  • Signature = authentication: signed (presumably) by the private key of the project owner(s).

    Checksum = integrity: confirms the file hasn’t been corrupted or tampered with in transit.

    If the checksum file is signed by the project owners, that’s the highest guarantee available that the file on your local is identical to the one compiled by the project owner(s).
