If you aren't married to Hugo as your solution, I will recommend giving Eleventy.js a look.

It's a static-site generator, but a good amount of flexibility is afforded by virtue of using pure JS to generate view data (which means that you can do any conversions needed, manually or with NPM packages if needed for more proprietary data formats), and it supports a bunch of templating engines too.

I was about to reply with a "oh, really? Whoops, I maybe should I have looked a little deeper" and edited for the post title, but I'm not so sure, looking into the first link you posted.

RE: phabricator...I don't know what that service is or is for, so I can't comment if there's any proof therein.

But the "how to submit a patch" page linked has a section that seems to at least suggest that their Github repo is now first-class, per the first line of the section.

 

AFAICT, this is a reprint of the same article originally from Rolling Stone https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/heavy-metal-changed-my-life-1235305372/

Oh, neat. I’ll be taking a look-see when I get to my bigger screen. Thanks for sharing!

I was just taking a peek at the various frontends supported by lemmy.ca, and I was wondering if the admins here have any insight into their respective use?

I'm going to bet the default (lemmy-ui) is most popular, but do any of the other frontends get far-and-away more use than the other alternatives? Has there been any trends up or down? Just thought I'd ask.

As an aside, if any of the frontend developers happen across this post, well done to all of you! I can immediately see the appeal of each, so each niche is being filled darn well!

Edit: to be clear, I'm talking about the frontends listed on the lemmy.ca main sidebar.

So, there are a lot of words in the post that I'm not familiar with (LoRA, Oobabooga, CivitAI). However, I think those are details about the actual library or package you're looking at, so I will not touch any of that.

I can strict answer the question "what is Yarn?"

Long story short, it's a direct "competitor" to NPM (Node Package Manager). In the earlier days of Node and NPM, Yarn was an attempt to improve certain weaknesses perceived in NPM (including speed and security). Yarn is still used in many codebases, but it's become less popular over the years as NPM has resolved many of the things that Yarn sought to fix. Also, Yarn version 2 made a major design change which some have viewed as too radical (though I'm unclear on the details as I've only dabbled in v2).

I am a few hours into Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. The first couple hours were unfortunately spent troubleshooting, so my overall impression is less good than Human Revolution, but now I’m picking up good speed on it.

I get it...I've never been the maintainer of a codebase that's deployed on trillions of devices, and backwards compatibility is something to be taken seriously and responsibly when you're that prolific. I do not begrudge SQLite or any large projects when they make decisions in service to that.

However

It always makes me feel oddly icky when known bugs (particularly of the footgun variety) become the new standard that the project intentionally upholds.

So, I will start by saying "Yes, you can do it. It's not too late and programming is fun and fulfilling".

However! One thing my experience has taught me in seeing people approach and bounce off programming is: programming is a fail-til-you-get-it type of endeavour. Your first several years will be littered with broken code, because there are a thousand little things you have to bump up against before you unlock one more puzzle piece.

So! If you go for it, persevere! You aren't a bad programmer, or a slow learner, because you can't get your code to work. Every single one of us ran into the same issue, and we just had to push through, learn to Google, and try again until it sorta-kinda works. You in 10 years will be embarrassed by what you write in your first years

Welcome to Lemay! Enjoy your stay 😛

What portion of your village work IN or NEAR your village? Or is it a very commute-heavy work life?

Current favourite from the album, but it was also the first single so it's had the most time to stew and drill its way in.

My last week has been filled with Marvels Midnight Suns. XCom meets deck builder meets dating simulator-lite. I’m having a blast, considering none of those genres are my forte

I agree, the blocker issue’s solution is not one I would have stumbled across. Well played.

Not to assume, but just in case you don't follow the joke, can appreciate the aha moment if you have had it already, and don't mind an internet stranger overexplaining...

There is/was a popular meme term "me irl" (often stylized as me_irl), which is a shortening of the phrase "this is literally me IRL". It spun off into many related terms and subreddits (gay_irl for queer memes, ich_iel for German/Germany memes, pony_irl for My Little Pony memes, etc). anime_irl is a continuation of that trend, but also has the deeper pun of being readable as aniME_IRL.

It's all very heady and clever, naturally

 

Version: 1.0.187 (187)

Hardware: Google Pixel 7

Expected behavior: When swiping "back" on the main/posts page, expect to see "Are you sure you want to exit? Y/N"-type notification. "No" will return you to the app, whereas "Yes" will "close" the app (as in, reopening the app is a fresh open, not 'pick up where you left off'/minimize)

Observed behavior: Swiping "back" on the main/posts page just minimizes the app
