It happens! I moderate !hockey@lemmy.ca, and recently !hockey@lemmy.world merged with us naturally.

That feeling when you're not a recent CS grad anymore ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I never even heard of rust when I graduated in 2016.

If you have a good IDE, and Java has the best IDEs of any language I have used, then auto complete will take care of most of that for you.

Not sure how exactly that would work. Do you have any ideas? Is there a free translation API that could be used?

So if I'm understanding correctly, if I created a Sublinks account, theoretically I would see all the same content, and I could use the same app, but it would be more optimized and have some additional features (on the web UI or if the app implemented those features)?

Congrats! I had that happen a few years ago, and it is a great feeling. Cherish it! You have worked hard and earned this!

Ironically, I have had some really bad French toast in my day. Like, so bad I hated anything with cinnamon on it for years. For decades, the smell of French toast made me want to vomit. I couldn't even go to breakfast joints that served it.

Gen Xers: am I a joke to you?

Logan Couture is finally making his season debut!

I know exactly how you feel. My team's games usually don't even start until 9 or 9:30 in my time zone, which means I'm up until almost 1 AM. And then I have to work early the next day. It's brutal.

Stupid time zones.

I have solar panels and a backup battery. I was actually disappointed when the power didn't go out when it got cold here in Texas last week.

I feel like a very high percentage of posts and comments here are just "Americans bad." And as an American, even though the things they are complaining about don't apply to me specifically, it makes me feel very unwelcome.

Happy New Year, !hockey@lemmy.ca! ๐ŸŽ‰

As you may have noticed, the game day thread bot is back up! ๐Ÿฅณ For anyone that missed it, it went down because the NHL dramatically changed their API, and a good portion of the bot needed to be rewritten. I have mostly updated the bot to use the new API. A couple of caveats: 1. They no longer provide data for which goalie was in net when a goal was scored. Currently this field is empty in the posts. I might remove the column entirely if I don't find a good way to get the data (without for example looping through the whole play by play just for this one piece of data). I also might just replace it with if the net is empty or not, since info is provided. I'm definitely open to feedback on this. 2. The bot is still occasionally freezing and crashing. This will get cleaned up over time. If you notice data not updating, or any data is incorrect or wonky-looking, please take a screenshot and send it to me!

By the way, the bot is open source! If you want to contribute by writing code, reporting issues, or even just donate beer money to me as a thank you, you can do so on the github page here.

Seeing as this is !hockey@lemmy.ca and not !nhl@lemmy.ca, is anyone watching the non NHL games goes on? The World Junior Championship is currently going on. The PWHL just started their inaugural season! US-based fans can watch every PWHL game for free on their Youtube channel here.

Is there any interest in having game day threads for these non NHL games?

Edit: OH I forgot to mention, highlight videos for goals are now attached in the game posts by the bot!

 

No hockey for the next 3 days, so this is what I'm resorting to to get my hockey fix.

Since the CSAM attacks, I have disabled pictrs on my instance until I can turn off caching images from other instances. However, I haven't been keeping up on pictrs development. I know there were talks about making this feature, but I am unable to find any information about pictrs and the state of development.

Is pictrs open source? If yes, does anyone have a link to the source? If no, is there anywhere I can find information about the state of development of the project? The only thing I can find is its docker hub page here, which has a completely blank description.

 

The NHL dramatically changed their API, and I am going to need to rewrite a big portion of the bot. I don't really have the time to dedicate to it right now, so I'm not sure when it will be back up.
