LeFrog

It is Rechner (German for computer or calculator)

I use it as quick launcher:

meta +

• T opens the terminal
• R opens the calculator
• F opens browser
• J opens my notes app

Edit: bonus points if you can guess where R, F and J come from :D

I think on some distros you could also do shift + meta + left/right/up/down on multi-monitor setups to move the active window to another monitor

My wish is more basic

This is basically one of the core ideas of Ruby: that you can read it like a story. Once you are used to reading it as “do X unless Y”, you will miss it in other languages. Note that I wrote Y, not Y is true. Because often Y is a statement that has meaning in itself.

Example:

# imagine that given_name is some text from user input

# this is of course valid:
user.name = given_name if !user.is_locked

# but this reads more fluently:
user.name = given_name unless user.is_locked

Ruby also allows using ? as last character in method names, which is a convention for methods that return either true or false.

Same goes for ! (the bang operator), that is commonly used to tell developers that there exists a non-bang version of the same method as well. The bang method is often the more strict version (e.g. raises an error instead of returning nil; or having side effects compared to the non-bang version).

So the above example may be more commonly written like this:

user.name = given_name unless user.locked?

and the question mark makes you automatically adding is or has while reading: Set the user’s name to the given_name unless the user is locked

Of course this is all by convention and you may also do it different. But that’s how most Ruby code is written.

To stay consistent, lots of projects use RuboCop, which warns you on inconsistency based on your project’s settings.

Ruby has it as well:

a ||= b

# which means
a = a || b
# wich is the same as
a = b if !a
# which rubyists like to write as
a = b unless a
# or as ternary
a = a ? a : b

Everyone makes errors, but not everyone reflects and learns from them. I feel like that the Ubuntu team(?) did the right thing here.

Please mark this as NSFW ( not safe for Windows)

TL;DR do not use ==

Yes, clickbait. It is more like the opposite to me: Linus mitigates chaos before it ensues. Which is an absolute reasonable pro-gamer move in my eyes and speaks of good (time) management.

I used symlinks with windows in like… 2007?

This noob even forgot zero

Not really an answer to your question, but worth a read to widen your horizon: It’s a huge problem that most health apps are created by men — here’s how to fix that

Up a Tree
You are about 10 feet above the ground nestled among some large branches. The nearest branch above you is above your reach.

On the ground below you can see:
BIRD’S NEST
JEWEL-ENCRUSTED EGG

chraebsli is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

Forest Path
This is a path winding through a dimly lit forest. The path heads north-south here. One particularly large tree with some low branches stands at the edge of the path.

North of House
You are facing the north side of a white house. There is no door here, and all the windows are boarded up. To the north a narrow path winds through the trees.

It is like pooping: everyone does it, and everyone will sometimes experience diarrhoea and constipation. There may be days where you have to go twice because your stomach does not like you some time.

But if I have to go to shit like 3 times a day every day, fighting against your rumbling cramping stomach because every time it is just watery deadly sewer pipe corroding stuff coming out of you, you should see a doctor.

It is about frequency and amplitude of your symptoms. But there are also a lot of other syndroms and illnesses that may cause your issues. And never forget:

A man can have as many diseases as he damn well pleases.

Hickam’s dictum

So keep in mind that having ADS does not mean there are no other conditions. There is actually a higher possibility to have something else as well (Comorbidity)

I didn’t knew that (1) Fortran has such logo and (2) I am old. Shit

RoR: am I a joke to you
