Golang@programming.dev•[ On | No ] syntactic support for error handling
8·8 months agoWhich is completely reasonable. Insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting different outcomes.
It’s not like they tried nothing and are all out of ideas; they tried a lot and nothing stuck so far.

KDE@lemmy.kde.social•Why doesn't plasma have an option for spanning wallpapers?
3·8 months agoThe linked ticket also references a merge request that went stale. So I would assume this is a good starting point (I haven’t looked at the MR though, so I don’t know how far off from the potentially accepted solution it is).

KDE@lemmy.kde.social•Why doesn't plasma have an option for spanning wallpapers?
7·8 months agoI don’t think there is a technical reason. Simply no one was interested in implementing it yet. See Nate’s answer over at reddit and the associated ticket.
So once someone is motivated enough it will happen. But without contribution or extreme boredom by the core mainteners (haha) it won’t happen.

1·2 years agoThat invitation confused me hard. With the picture of a city I expected to find a location somewhere. But then it was a relatively subtle word “online” on a link deeper down that finally gave away that it’s an online meetup.
Of course. Great, another D in programming.
I typically hope to get rid of SOAP by going to the toilet.

KDE@lemmy.kde.social•ATTENTION PLASMA WIDGET, THEME AND ADD-ON DEVELOPERS:
1·2 years agoYou can find a lot of tiling extensions in the store. Although I don’t know how many of them were ported to KDE 6 already. I haven’t used others, since most of them are designed for a tiling-first workflow. I want mostly floating windows with just selective tiling when I need it.

KDE@lemmy.kde.social•ATTENTION PLASMA WIDGET, THEME AND ADD-ON DEVELOPERS:
1·2 years agoHow can I move a window to the upper right tile with arrow keys? How the extension works is: I hit win+right, window gets moved to the right side of the screen. I hit it win+up, it now moves to the top-right tile. I hit win+left and it extends to be tiled to the upper half of the screen. I hit win+left again, it now is tiled to the top-left tile.
That is, to the best of my knowledge, not how kwin behaves. It is, however, how Cinnamon for example behaves.

Even on mobile they are asshats. I have my password manager registered as the passkey wallet in iOS, so creating a passkey in PayPal for example fails.

Technology@lemmy.world•Passkeys might really kill passwordsEnglish
663·2 years agoIf only companies wouldn’t be patronizing ass hats about it. A few sites deny storing passkeys in software wallets because of “security”. So what, keep using my password is safer now? Fucktards.

221·2 years agoI don’t think the venn diagram for people relying on pro-audio and using 20 year old computers has a large overlap.
That’s likely not what I mean by pedantic. If your code example has syntactic errors or calls functions with not enough or too many parameters and you expect them to notice, you want them to do, what a compiler does or to know technical documentation by heart. Which is completely academic and pointless.
Concentrating on “algorithmic” solution at hand is fine, though. Unless you again expect them to recognize stuff like “hey this is almost Dijkstra’s algorithm but wrong”, because the interview should not be a university computer science test.
That’s fine if there are no weird pedantic ropes to fall over. I am not a compiler or linker, that’s what I have compilers and linkers for. Same with an IDE. I don’t know many details of the stdlib or other common libs, because why should I waste space in my brain for stuff code completion can show me…
Money? Maybe the get the first pay until they get thrown out again.



So you would expect the devs to include a filterlist for known bad packages in different potential source stores that they have no influence over? How would you distribute that? Bundled with Discover, in which case the package maintainers of the different distributions have to roll out new versions with the updated list? Or as a list maintained on some server the KDE team has to provide, which gets updated by Discover automatically on startup? What if you don’t condone their decision to block something? What if the list gets abused? What should companies do that want that list customized?
