  Or at least use an environment variable, it’s not a good practice to have it written in plaintext in your code.

  Probably not a good idea to show your API key to everyone…

  For me it will always be synonymous to extreme sports, i’m always picturing Jesus and Santa Claus doing sick snowboard tricks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First year CS student currently on vacations looking for programming course to follow.⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I recommend taking a look at roadmap.sh. It’s not a course, it’s a website with several “roadmaps” for learning languages or specific fields. There’s plenty of docs and it’s easy to follow!

  Did the pope ended up playing Undertale? That’s the only thing I know about Mat.

  A perfectly coiled poop. 💩 People at the ice cream shop struggle to make a decent one most of the time, so I can’t imagine trying to do that with your asshole.

  cool t-shirt design

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we have an internal monologue?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My guess would be it’s a side-effect, kind of like pareidolia. Us being extremely social animals, so much that being cast away from the tribe in our hunter-gatherer days would spell certain death, our brains have become extremely attuned to face/emotion recognition and language. So we have a tendency of using words to express ideas, even to ourselves.

  I want Darwin Claus to bring me random mutations that may or may not be beneficial to my survival and my capacity to create offspring.

  Other gemstones are not getting enough love. I would love to have a cool topaz ring.

  There’s plenty of people that are scared to open up to others because they are scared of their reaction. I am one of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal that I feel pretty bad for ignoring homeless people begging for money?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen some cafés where you can give extra money for a coffee or a snack to be given to a homeless person when they ask for it. It’s pretty nice and it rounds up the bill!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's almost impossible to deny being an alcoholic without sounding like an alcoholic⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t call them “1-dimensional”, and they do have things to offer, but they go out to lose themselves, and drink like crazy. When we do have discussions they’re very interesting, and we sometimes do activities unrelated to drinking, but they’re not willing to go there often. Again, I meet these people at events in bars, so it’s very likely that they’re into drinking. My friends back home have mellowed quite a bit and we do normal stuff now. It’s just hard to meet new people outside school/workplace if you don’t have hobbies and you don’t want to go to bars or nightclubs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's almost impossible to deny being an alcoholic without sounding like an alcoholic⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right, I’m 27 in a new country, and I meet people at meetups events (they very often takes place in a bar), so I’m bound to find people that are only interested in getting wasted. I’ve been meaning to pick some hobbies and find friends this way, I should get to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's official: Evernote will restrict free users to 50 notes | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m with you there, I carry a small notebook with me everywhere I go and write notes about everything. I remember things that I wrote on paper more easily than inputting them on an app. I guess notetaking apps like logseq has a lot of advantages, like displaying and auto-formatting your notes in a nice way, but for me it’s not really useful. I don’t look at my notes everyday. Also it’s nice to do something without requiring looking at a screen once in a while!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's almost impossible to deny being an alcoholic without sounding like an alcoholic⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I really should reduce my consumption, I’ve always hang around people that tend to get wasted on a weekly basis. Getting tipsy is enjoyable, but more than that is just fucking stupid. I also find it hard to talk about stuff with them, or to do meaningful activities, they just want to drink a lot and act like dumbasses in night clubs. So boring. I should try and find new friends, but I feel like most people act like this, honestly. It’s the same when I hang out with strangers. My hard limit is 3 drinks per night now.

  Still not paying for it.

  Package managers have become so much better with dependencies. It’s been a while since I’ve encountered an issue, with yay it very usually works out of the box.

  One of the main advantages of RSS is that it doesn’t track you or require an account for it to work. As you said it’s only a XML or JSON file wth the latest items posted on the website.

  Look under Sponsorblock Options github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

  I’m more than happy to support my favourite content creators by other means, be it simple donation or merch. I will never subject myself to stupid ads, no matter the reason.

  Or using curl and sed : curl -s youtube_channel_url | sed -n ‘s/.title=“RSS"\s+href=”([^"]+)./\1/p’

  Good, fuck those greedy bastards. yt-dlp + mpv with sponsorblock FTW, bonus for stopping using a YouTube account altogether and using RSS feeds for your subscriptions instead.

  That’s a perfectly valid concern, there’s a lot of PIs out there that are dust collectors or paper weights unfortunately. You know what, If I can find an second-hand Optiplex or ThinkCentre for cheap maybe i’ll use that instead!
