This was my experience with personal projects too.

Unit tests hinder progress so much. End-to-end/integration tests are often flaky.

The thing is, I still want to test my own project, because it’s a good idea to validate whether or not your code works or not…

Ahh found one. Interesting name

What is Mitra?

Wikipedia is an internet gem

(already had a feeling that someone will say this)

I won’t delete my posts/comments because I want to be helpful, that’s it.

But if I prefer deleting my posts/comments, I will archive it instead.

I respect what r/ArtFundamentals did, and it should be an example: After reddit’s APIpocalypse, they don’t support reddit and decided to close the subreddit. But the advices from the subreddit wasn’t gone–in fact they actually archive it in their own website:

https://drawabox.com/r/artfundamentals/

That’s why when I left reddit I don’t delete my posts (even if those posts suck)

Bonus:

Is it true that you actually have to add a parking space as a building owner in US? lol

As a software engineer…

Don’t just say “just Google it”. Guide them to the documentation. Ask them about the detail of the question. If it’s an bug, try asking them if they can reproduce the bug.

This reminded me of the time I’m looking for how to do certain things in a software. I found a reddit post asking about the same issue and this is the reply OP got:

Here is the link: https://old.reddit.com/r/i3wm/comments/mupjsf/how_to_showhide_i3status_bar_taskbar/

Imagine. You search the issue you have. Found the ONLY reddit thread that talks about this, and the ONLY thread that talks about the issue have NO USEFUL ANSWER and, worse, the only reply is TELLING YOU TO SEARCH IT YOURSELF. This got upvoted too 😭😭😭.

Luckily, I found the solution (tbh the solution was there in the docs, but the wording wasn’t clear and it makes it hard to search) and I end up replying the OP the actual answer.

So, this is a PSA for the fediverse: be nice. It’s free.

While we’re still young, we have a chance to become a better forum.

Also possibly an unpopular opinion: you shouldn’t downvote a question, even if it was asked multiple times. Guide them to the answer instead

EV batteries fire + narrow place seems like the worst ever combo

How the heck is this project even approved lol

So it’s just a worse tunnel then

Ha

Yeah, I’ve said this before, but USA seems like a perfect place to build a HSR right? It seems like an ez money too now that I think about it.

Copying my comment on !publictransport@slrpnk.net :

I’m not even from USA to be clear, but my limited image of USA is that it lacks efforts of building public transport, especially compared to other developed countries. Heck, compared to developing countries even.

One of the example, US seems like a perfect place to build a high-speed rail network. Yet, CAHSR seems to keep getting delayed. In comparison Morocco has a HSR. Even Indonesia has one opened last year.

Also I haven’t really looked into this Vegas Loop thing until now, and the tweet was right, it only connects a convention center and a hotel LOL

Rest in peace. He was 26.

I notice that communities in this instance prefers to post links. Wouldn’t it be nice if we post more discussion/question types of post?

I’m on the Sublinks Matrix, the project has come to a halt.

That’s sad :( any specific reason why?

Mbin so far looks promising to me

I prefer to have my own community, I already have my own vision/preference on what I want the community would be like

I’ve said this before:

I wanted something like Skyscrapercity forum but on Lemmy, or something similar to r/transit.

(As a context, in Skyscrapercity is a discussion forum about infrastructures in the world, underrated website)

Public transports are not limited to trams, trolleys, and street cars. It also includes trains, high-speed rail buses, etc. And my vision for this community is that I want the community to be discussion-oriented. For example, the accessibility of a public transport, the obstacles of building one, the ticket price, the effect it has on the city, integrations between modes, etc. Take a look at https://reddit.com/r/transit for example.

To be clear, I’m not saying that !trams_trolleys_streetcars@lemmy.blahaj.zone is a bad community, it just has difference purpose, as far as I can understand. I’ll probably try to crosspost some of the post there.
