Ah yes, the Marty McFly strategy.
Ah yes, the Marty McFly strategy.
Everywhere I’ve worked it didn’t matter if I used my equipment or theirs. All IP I created while employed there was the property of my employer. If you’re in the USA, check your contracts.
You don’t say what type of programming you do, or if you’re just learning or developing professionally, but maybe something fully online would work? For example repl.it, stackblitz, or Visual Studio Code for the Web.
I second the suggestion for getting a Bluetooth keyboard for the iPad.
Excellent point. I had forgotten about this. I work for a non profit so I’m ok, but yes you should absolutely check the terms of the license before using. On the upside, almost everything is markdown files in regular folders, so you can fall back to vim anytime.
I don’t know if this will work for you, and I’m not sure if you’re only looking for TUI editors, but Obsidian has vi key bindings and a lot of plugins.
Disclaimer: I have not tried the vi key bindings in Obsidian.
Another one I use is vscode. It has a ton of markdown plugins and vi key bindings. It also has a nice preview window.
Git is a distributed VCS just like fossil. GitHub never has been an integral part of it; it’s just the most popular hosting option. This is like saying you’re glad you’re using Firefox because everyone complaining that Twitter is down is using Chrome.
Even if you do just GitHub for hosting you can, on account of it being distributed, still work and commit code.
What is more disruptive is that so much code is hosted on GitHub that even if you’re not yourself hosting anything there, you risk almost all your dependencies being unavailable to your build pipelines. If you didn’t have a cache set up, you’re gonna have a bad time.
Too much of their process it’s tied in with GitHub. That’s what people are complaining about.
What are some good alternatives if it gets shut down? Preferably FOSS.
What do you mean? RedHat even used to come with an installer localized in their language.
So many links are going to go dead because of this. I’m sure plenty of software out there used this to automatically shorten links for posting on social media etc.
Most of these reports are about preview builds of Windows.
That said, surely you have seen recommendations from Microsoft to try their Office package and such oil up. It’s like that, but more intrusive.
I can’t believe Microsoft is making me switch from Windows to Mac and Linux, but here we are.
No. The wrong timing parameters could definitively break your hardware.
It depends. I’ve done it a few different ways:
Edit: spelling
Since unity is c# I think maybe you phrased that opposite of what you meant?
Anyway, I work in an enterprise environment. We use both Java and .Net, and it largely depends on which group you’re in. Neither Java nor .Net is going away anytime soon.
You really don’t get to stick with just one thing in a developer career. Learn a little of everything, especially multiple paradigms, and specialize in a few related to the business you work for.
A key skill is adaptability, learning as you go. If you make yourself too specialized, you’ll set yourself up for being laid off when your skills become obsolete. I have interviewed a few older IT people in that situation, only a few years from retirement.

To manage packages on the terminal, I personally like to use aptitude which has a nice visual interface to find, install, and remove packages. It also lets you resolve conflicts interactively. If you do not want a separate tool, you can use apt-cache search
to search for new packages.
As is typical with Linux, there are multiple ways to do it. I found an article that outlines a few alternatives.
I switched to self hosted Piwigo after Flickr started threatening to delete my photos a while back.
It had an extension that let me import all my photos from Flickr. Not sure if that still works after they changed hands.
It’s very easy to maintain; just click the update button in the Web UI. And it comes with a bunch of extensions.
If the idea was to shit on the class that was born right around 9/11, graduated during a global pandemic, and who is going to have to deal with both out of control climate change and AI taking their jobs, then it was executed beautifully. Otherwise it was extremely tone-deaf.
You haven’t lived until you’ve installed Slackware from floppy disks and compiled the necessary network drivers into the kernel by hand. Good times, but never again.
Try turning the phone to landscape mode before tapping the full screen button. It works for me in YouTube on Pixel 7a.
