@wolf480pl 👍 Yes, I have just enough knowledge of German to have thought of this as well. It has occurred to me to create a new one about the length of compound words--English: "Compound word!" French: "Portemanteau!" German shows up: "Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz!"

@cypnk Is using unlisted replies for the immediate additional posts and then starting again with a fully public one when you pick it up days or weeks later not a solution? That’s what I generally appreciate

I just came across the flag of the Isle of Man and when I looked closer I totally started hearing that bongos sound they used in Hanna Barbera cartoons when somebody starts running.

@urusan Useful tool. Not great and not not great. Like any other tool, has its place. People thought it was the shit and tried to use it for everything and got burned and now they think it's crap for all use cases.Like my mother driving in sub-zero temperatures. Turn the heat full blast until everybody's sweating, then turn it all the way off until everybody's frigid and there's ice forming on the inside of the windows. Then turn it up full blast again, window ice becomes a sauna,

@urusan I like containers for CI/CD, easy deployment, K8s, etc. I would not use them for all workloads. I would not name my children Docker, Rkt, and Singularity.Well. TBH I could definitely see myself naming my dogs Rkt and Singularity.

@cosullivan No idea, except maybe:1. Acknowledging to yourself there are people around who care2. Acknowledging to yourself none of the folks in (1) can replace the one you lost, and that's okay3. It might be hard to swallow (2) but that goes to show you have both the people in (1) and the one you lost can't replace eachother and you're richer for having had both in your lifeidk, have myself "only" lost a parent, which for most prolly < losing a spouse.

@stephen @fribbledom When I get tired of Apple Music playlists I go back to some bookmarks I have for YouTube music. It's fine for a little while until they increase the rate of ad interruptions, which happens after one or two days.

When I was a young man I tried to use Java and was frustrated that its "write once, run anywhere" promises were false and the results ugly and clunky as sin.Later on I tried to use Java and was frustrated at the depth of specialized libraries required for fairly common tasks.And now I'm just too old for this shit.

I should add that:If you have to use Java, for whatever reason, that's fine, and if that means you're stuck with this log4j2 issue, I'm sorry and I hope it goes okay for you.If you like Java for whatever reason, that's fine too, and again if you're stuck with this log4j2 issue, I'm sorry and I hope it goes okay for you.

@djsumdog Yeah if you don't use the language's OS-abstracting libraries you're expecting magick.Swing apps kind of look like native apps, but they aren't as responsive and are typically in my experience buggy as hell. The only platform they work well is Mac. They might have gotten better, but IIRC MS eschewed Java and Oracle eschewed Linux so it was only Mac where Java GUI apps really worked to the initial promise.

@djsumdog Right, and I get the impression that for that developers that invest enough in that can't easily walk away from it after that. Maybe they love it and don't want to.As a sysadmin I've also supported app developers whose deployments based on Tomcat or whatnot fall over regularly and have to be regularly coddled. I don't know if that was the developers' lack of insight into the intricacies of the software infrastructure or not, but it left me with an impression of flimsiness.

If you work with Python and databases and don't want to go full ORM yet are tired of crafting the tedious repetitive bits of SQL may I suggest checking out my project Medial. It's a minimal database _assistance_ layer.It's still young but I use it for a number of different projects and you might find it useful too.If you give it a shot I'd love to hear what you think! :blobcoffee:https://gitlab.com/dlek/medialhttps://pypi.org/project/medial/#python #postgres #sqlite

I’m looking for a decent but simple drawing app for Android for drawing basic comics. I don’t mind paying a bit for it. My skill level is very low.I am interested in something with very simple drawing tools (pencil, eraser, text, boxes and lines) but also layers so I can sketch on one and ink on another. Recommendations?Boosts appreciated. Thanks all!
