The name of the function, what goes in and what goes out in most cases should be enough to get a good idea on what the function does.

It also helps to make a diagram of how everything ties together. Just boxes and arrows is enough.

When writing your own code, it takes a bit of experience to know when to put something in its own function. It’s very obvious when you’re replicating code. It’s also very common to cut things up when a function gets too big. Look for bits of functionality that you can give a good name.

I always write it as a select, before turning it into a delete or update. I have burned myself too often already.

There are huge differences. One country came into existence due to a federation disintegrating, because its members called for independence. The other country came in existence because an occupier forced it upon the people living there.

There wasn’t also a huge amount of migration involved with Ukraine. People mostly continued their lives when Ukraine became independent. The founding of Israel involved many Jews for all over the world migrating to that area. You can imagine that affects the people already living there.

It’s also hard to imagine people will live in harmony when one side literally enforces an apartheid regime on the other side.

With Influx 3 the preferred language is gonna be their SQL dialect. Flux is on its way out and I suspect it will get deprecated in the near future. Flux saw very slow adoption and SQL can do everything as well.

The one that blew my mind is that plate tectonics is only a widely accepted theory since the 70s.

They’re nice if they also migrate your db schema. That way you define your schema once and use it both to setup your db and interact with it via code. I do write raw sql for more complex queries, e.g. when there’s recursion.

Pretty standard sink in my neck of the woods. The part on the right has ridges and drains to the sink, so you can use it to put e.g. washed veggies or let dishes dry.

Go to a speciality coffee shop to find out what good black coffee tastes like.

Even then, there is no single coffee flavor. The bean and roasting make a big impact, although the darker the roast, the more alike the coffee becomes. Dark roasts have the typical coffee flavor, while lighter roasts make the bean’s flavor more pronounced. They can go from very fruity to very chocolatey. I once had beans that smelled like blueberries!

Brewing method also impacts the flavor profile a lot. Espresso packs the most flavor in a single sip. Filter and immersion brewing mellow the flavors out a bit more. I tend to prefer that over espresso. Allows me to enjoy the coffee longer and gives a bit more ‘space’ to discover subtleties in the flavor profile.

Lemmy devs expressed in an AMA that Liberapay is the preferred method of donation.

Illegal pushbacks are funded by the EU. EU countries look away or even condone them, as they don’t want immigrants either.

Check out the Law of One for some funky spiritual stuff. There might be something in there that makes sense of this reality for you.

It knocked my shoes off

Definitely dead here.

I don’t think these are wood fire roasted, as I would expect you’d definitely taste that.

He was giving a workshop when I bought the beans, so I didn’t want to bother them too long. He did tell me briefly where his three roasting machines come from (one is a 100 years old!), so maybe one of them is wood fired? I’ll ask about it next time I’m grabbing some beans.

Can you tell me more about doing it sous vide? I have a sous vide stick that I rarely use and would love to have a use for it!

Ocean cleanup is also working on systems to prevent plastic from leaving rivers and flowing into the oceans.

Do you need a French press if you filter the coffee afterwards? I currently do not own one and wasn’t planning on getting one. My idea was to just dump the coffee in water, stir, let it brew, then filter.

Also, I assume you use a fairly coarse grind when brewing that long?

Maybe Anne Frank is the vegetarian burger?

Absolutely true, although imo not necessarily as a conscious choice. It’s simply earth’s feedback systems. We cram all kinds of animals together and accidentally breed highly contagious viruses, which come back to bite us in the ass. We destroy biodiversity and now people in certain parts of the world have to manually pollinate crops, because the insects all died. Etc.

If all goes well, earth will find a balance again that still favours life (possibly not human life). If not, earth might end up like Venus. Not a big deal for earth, but a bit of shame of all this life we currently see here.

That’s very broad. Do you mean by some force outside our universe, or actors inside, possibly on earth?
