Programming@programming.dev•The Cost of Scattered Validation Logic | The frustrated developer
2·2 days agoYeh, Zod changed my typescript life.
Zod in the frontend, Zod in the backend, everything gets parsed, I get friendly error messages, and I get types for free.

Users never read prompts, so we have removed them
Kinda like

150mm^2 obviously (tho only for 400A). Don’t know that I’ve ever seen 800 amp powerlock, I guess they would be 240mm^2 and above.
I think they are talking about more industrial/commercial applications that use ceeforms or powerlock for 1 or 3 phase: 16A, 32A, 63A, 125A (I know, we were so close). Anything over that is powerlock, and I don’t know if any single phase powerlock.

World News•El Niño is here, and it’s already looking like it could be 'mind-blowing'English
3·12 days agoIf I hadn’t lived in America for 4 years (and my sister having to do a presentation on it), this last year would be the only time it has crossed my radar.
El Nino has (imo) always been an Americas thing. I don’t think it has ever been significant enough to touch the news cycle in the UK.
And even now, I don’t know if my awareness has picked it up due to the UK news cycle or due to the US-centralism of so many social media sites.

World News•Trump threatens increased tariffs for wildfire smoke that has 'unnecessarily invaded' U.S.English
32·12 days agoLike, I get that tariffs are the lever to reduce dependence on foreign wildfire smoke, but the US needs to bolster domestic supply before they try to reduce foreign imports.

JavaScript@programming.dev•I stopped destructuring everything
3·17 days agoI always treat things like
projectStatusanduserEmailas a kind of code smell.
If a variable name carries too much context, then I figure out why and how to carry that context in a better way (project.statususer.email)Isn’t always doable. But that’s why it’s a smell, not a rule

Technology•You paid me, a long-time Linux user, to use Windows 11 exclusively for a month: here’s how it wentEnglish
3·20 days agoI get frustrated with the track pads. Sometimes they click, sometimes they drag, sometimes they right click. I know its number of fingers and pressure/speed of clicking? I’m sure it’s great if you learn it, but nobody else has adopted it.
Oh, and 2 programs side by side and you have to jump between menus of both of them for whatever reason. The whole “1 menu per desktop” is frustrating
I’ve given this a read.
https://homelabstarter.com/homelab-networking-basics/Covers the basics, explains them well & technically, and points to “further learning”.

Ask Lemmy•Do you think its actually possible to start a real honest business in 2026?
201·21 days agoA CNC shop wouldn’t start because someone decides “I want to start a CNC shop”.
It would start cause some guy has a mill and a lathe for hobby stuff, and does some work for a mate or a local business.
And then gets more work, and gets work that requires CNC, and gets more work than 1 person can deal with, and then needs more machines and machinists and CAD tech and designers and so on.Yeh, a business could get something from PCBway or whatever. But maybe they need it by the end of the day, or maybe they need an opinion on something, or maybe they can’t do the actual technical document production but can provide some measurements and a rough sketch.
Apply that to anything.
The UK Army’s L96A1 was made by 3 guys in a shed.The Ministry of Defence wanted Accuracy International to submit an entry, but when they won handily, suddenly the three men in Mr Walls’ shed were charged with producing over 1200 rifles and all of a sudden needed to prove they could make that many weapons.
What they did was rent out a workshop for a day and filled it with all of the guns they had made in the shed up to that point, claimed the rest of the staff were out to lunch and later found out when they went to eat with the requisitions lieutenants that the inspection was purely to ensure the operation was not just three men in a shed.

World News•At least 28 killed in shoe factory in China, state media saysEnglish
161·21 days agoWhat a soleless joke
No, the heat propagation through the copper block (meaning the contact surface gets to 100 degrees before the top of the block) balances out that the copper block loses heat to the surrounding area via it’s side walls.

No Stupid Questions•Is this a scam or am I being paranoid? And if so, what kind of scam is this?
3·21 days agoGet them to send you the check.
Say you deposited it.
See what happens.Offer steam gift cards as the payment for the inevitable “I sent too much” part of the scam. Steam is no longer selling physical gift cards.
So you can waste some time pretending to go to a shop, unable to find them, trying other shops etc.Kitboga is a master at wasting scammers time if you want some YT vids to watch.
I’d start with learning some networking basics.
Subnets, default gateways, DNS, routes, VLANs.Then get another computer to install proxmox on.
Learn VMs, SSH, firewalls, basically Linux. Probably VPNs as well.Then set up a VM and play with docker & docker-compose.
And that’s most of the tooling to be able to self host anything. A VM with docker, set up the docker compose of what you want, boom: done.
Some projects are more of a “full of” kinda thing (like home assistant), which would be its own VM

General Memes & Private Chuckle@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Important question
9·23 days agoI was thinking about this.
I think a roller is fixed and facilitates moving other things.
And a wheel facilitates moving the thing it is attached to.I know it’s just a different frame of reference.








Great, LLMs judging humans.
Glad the judge caught it, shame it had to go to a legal human before being actually judged.
Almost like computers can’t be help accountable
