When learning a programming language I think it’s better to find the commands you’d use to compile/run the program and run them in the terminal the first few times so you know what’s actually happening behind the run button. Then start running things through the IDE if it’s more convenient. If you tell us the language we can help with the commands (is it C?)

Um are we sure we want this data? Weren’t there some people who walked into traffic and fell down hills playing Pokémon Go?

I haven’t tried eating sushi yet. I bet it will be much easier with chopsticks too.

I’ve been eating a lot of instant ramen lately and finally decided to get a pair of chopsticks and learn how to use them. I was using a fork before. The difference is incredible.

I check the metadata my cameras record every now and then. It’s not particularly useful. For screenshots I’ll make sure to not have any names or usernames visible. You can assume every outdoors photo is geolocatable so you can choose what you want to reveal. I’m ok posting a photo from the city center but not from my neighborhood.

True, it’s just an example to always look at the output. I’ve definitely used that in Fedora to reinstall packages when something stopped working after an upgrade.

(Maybe this doesn’t happen by itself in Debian but I wouldn’t trust Ubuntu for example)

Apparently apt has a stroke sometimes. I don’t think I’ve had an update fuck up this bad but it’s better to read the output so you know what changed in case something stops working.

I’d like to one day have the confidence to do upgrade -y

In English even when I’m the only person working on the project as there’s always the prospect of someone else looking at it. Also my language doesn’t use the latin script and I don’t want to mix other scripts into code files. You can always write it in latin script but that’s really annoying to read. Funnily enough I wouldn’t be so against comments in another “big” language like Spanish or German.

How is it more “sus” than setting any other application as default browser? It needs to be default because that’s how Android works.

Or maybe 80% of people are unhappy. No data here either

A book called The Night by a Venezuelan author.

I feel a bit bad saying this because there are definitely worse books but this one stuck with me as the premise sounded really interesting but the book was nothing like it.

There is a review on goodreads that sums it up pretty nicely.

Literature about literature, books about books, literature about books, books about literature, literature about literature, books about books, …

The main thing is a script to stop any media playing and turn off the screen after x minutes, so I can fall asleep watching YouTube or listening to something. There’s probably already an app for that but this is pretty customizable.

Another stupid use is putting the phone on silent while using the camera app because Samsung won’t let you turn off the camera shutter sound.

Tasker. Basically an interface for writing scripts for your phone. Even if you don’t have a use case in the beginning you’ll start finding things to do with it.

Oh I didn’t know about this. You’re talking about The Familiar, right? I don’t know if I’m up for another 5 books like this but now I really want to try.

If you want something really wild by him you can try Valis. Going in blind or not won’t really make a difference.

Definitely House of Leaves. A story inside of a story, inside of a story, with all narrators being just a bit crazy. Text of different fonts, going all over the place and even upside down based on the story. Just make sure to get the physical copy.

Don’t really have a normal camera. I have a GoPro Hero 4 (ancient, I know) which I take with me swimming. Once you get used to it, underwater photos look amazing. I want to get a actual camera too but worry I’ll keep regretting not carrying it with me places. So potato phone camera it is.

Let alone there’s already a bunch of answers in that post

I can accept that
