I'm not the best person to ask about this as I don't do much web dev these days, and my experience with podman is mostly limited to deploying existing software. If compose works for that use case, then you should probably stick with it. For actually deploying it somewhere though, you should be using quadlets instead (or kubernetes I guess)

Naively, I'd say to create symlinks instead of copying, and run `systemctl daemon-reload`/`systemctl restart ...`. Although there are probably more streamlined web development options out there.

Maybe look into Podman Pods. They're probably closer to what you're looking for, but idk what kind of dev tools exist out there for it. Maybe a few custom shell scripts to run the pod management commands is all you really need?

I did mean symlinks too. The rest of my system shouldn't have to know or care about my project at all.

I just wanna be able to systemctl --user start ./my-service.service or something to that effect.

Podman compose is an attempt to court Docker users by porting over a bad idea. Instead of that, learn how to create "quadlets" and you'll never want to touch docker again. See: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/quadlet-podman

I recommend starting with .container files instead of .kube, unless you're already familiar with kubernetes.

Can you use those quadlets inside a development project? I use docker-compose (with podman) just so i can work on a project that is completely self-contained. No copying files to ~/.config/systemd just run docker-compose to start and stop.

Can i do that with quadlets?

The FSF also typically requires a copyright assignment for their GPL code. Nobody thinks that they’ll ever relicense Emacs, though.

yeah I don't mind signing a CLA for copyleft software to a non-profit org, but i do with a for-profit one.

Why bother with node when bun is a much better alternative for new projects?

johnny22 · 21 days ago

because bun is written in a language that isn't even stable (zig) and uses webkit. None of the developer niceties will cover that up. I also don't know if they'll be able to monetize, which means it might die if funding dries up.

still I would rather use that than import mocha, chai, Sinon, istanbul.

At the end it's just tests, the syntax might be more verbose but Llms write it anyway ;-)

> but Llms write it anyway

The problem isn't in the writing, but the reading!

I still don't 100% understand why `React.memo` is not applied by default, wrapping every single component in a `memo` is crazy overhead and non-trivial to enforce codebase-wide.

Sure performance is a concern but is recursive re-rendering really cheaper than memoing all props?

johnny22 · a month ago

that's the the react compiler is supposed to be able do, memoize when necessary

> oh, you've watched a single video about X, how about I show you these 89 other videos about X for the next week or so

Just because I look up one video of “how to replace a toilet seat” doesn’t mean I am a connoisseur of toilets.

The other problem I run into is that no matter what I’m watching, I’m two autoplay videos away from Joe Rogan (and other right wing personas). Who knew something as innocent as listening about the economy of Iceland can be two videos away from why the Superman movie is too woke.

I use the "dont recommend channel" option or "I don't like the video" liberally

> i know that is terrible timing and im genuinely sorry about that.

This Twitter-style faux-casual way of writing is so common among AI people right now (see Sam Altman) and it’s extremely grating. I don’t know anything about this project, but if they really cared about their users, I would hope that they’d use capital letters and punctuation when addressing them in an official announcement.

johnny22 · a month ago

what do you mean "twitter style"? People have written like that on the internet for years (like on IRC) for years before twitter existed. I don't know if that's where it started, but it certainly didn't start with twitter.

I kind of prefer TST since it's tree style. The native vertical tabs is flat, but I would like to organize my tabs more hierarchically.

yeah i'm hoping it can be enhanced with nesting.
