I can totally see how it could be read like that!

Five-a-side is a specific format of football (soccer), aimed at more casual play with a much lower bar to skill level. Outside of five-a-side leagues (which do exist), it's rarely played with fixed teams and often ran in a more "pick up group" fashion.

Five-a-side football (soccer). I'm not a sporty person, but started going with a local group a few years ago and have reaped the benefits of doing some intensive team exercise once per week. I go with a bunch of guys way older than I am, and it's amazing how fit and healthy they are compared to the average person I meet of their age. I certainly plan to keep this up so long an injury doesn't prevent me.

Nice. I've not seen any of your other videos yet, but I can say that for this one, I really loved that you just jumped straight in to the action and kept the video tight, without missing important details.

You know, I wish I could enjoy IRC - or chatrooms in general. But I just struggle with them. Forums and their ilk, I get. I check in on them and see what's been posted since I last visited, and reply to anything that motivates me to do so. Perhaps I'll even throw a post up myself once in a while.

But with IRC, Matrix, Discord, etc, I just feel like I only ever enter in the middle of an existing conversation. It's fine on very small rooms where it's almost analagous to a forum because there's little enough conversation going on that it remains mostly asynchronous. But larger chatrooms are just a wall of flowing conversation that I struggle to keep up with, or find an entry point.

Anyway - to answer the actual question, I use something called "The Lounge" which I host on my VPS. I like it because it remains online even when I am not, so I can atleast view some of the history of any conversation I do stumble across when I go on IRC. I typically just use the web client that comes with it.

I really like Nushell. I would not run it as a daily driver currently, as it mostly doesn't win me over from Fish, feature-wise, but I love having it available for anything CLI date pipeline work I need to do.

Love this. Always interesting to see novel ways of querying data in the terminal, and I agree that jq's syntax is difficult to remember.

I actually prefer nu(shell) for this though. On the lobste.rs thread for this blog, a user shared this:

| get license.key -i
| uniq --count
| rename license

This outputs the following:

╭───┬──────────────┬───────╮
│ # │    license   │ count │
├───┼──────────────┼───────┤
│ 0 │ bsd-3-clause │    23 │
│ 1 │ apache-2.0   │     5 │
│ 2 │              │     2 │

Thanks. I didn't know about these advanced libraries, and had not heard of C++ modules either. Appreciate the explanation.

[-] bugsmith@programming.dev 22 points 5 months ago

I don't code in C++ (although I'm somewhat familiar with the syntax). My understanding is the header files should only contain prototypes / signatures, not actual implementations. But that doesn't seem to be the case here. Have I misunderstood, or is that part of the joke?

[-] bugsmith@programming.dev 7 points 5 months ago

Yes, I can see cases where this might be valid. For example, if you wanted to be some kind of SAP administrator / programmer (a paid-only enterprise management software), nobody would hire you for such a role without having some experience with that product. Same for something like Salesforce.

I like Konsole.

It comes with KDE, supports tabs, themes, and loads very fast.

I don't really need more from a terminal than that. When I, rarely, need more advanced features like window splitting and session management I also use Zellij (previously I used tmux).

[-] bugsmith@programming.dev 3 points 6 months ago

Interesting. That's not something I've heard about until now, but something I'll surely look into.

I came across this list and thought it might be interesting to the programming community here.

Which of these books have you read, or are on your list? Did any have a profound impact on your life? Were any a struggle to get through?
