How much time do you have to program in edge cases? If I had the time and it were me, I’d parse for single number and return a single element. A single number with colon would give the front/back portion of the list accordingly. And two numbers gives the inclusive range.

Then in terms of if you get a zero, swap to zero index mode since they clearly want the start of the list or reject the command explaining the argument isn’t zero-based (probably best to reject just for consistency).

The docs/help page will be key here. That and consistency across your app when it comes to zero vs one indexing.

I think it would depend on the typical user base and how the rest of the cli operates. If it’s typical array work or your users are typically programmers or otherwise know computing, then stick to 0 based indexing. If they’re users of spreadsheets and rarely interface with zero-based indicies, then stick to what they know. Just document it well enough for everyone!

I’d also think inclusive is more intuitive. If they only want one element, then they can provide the single element, otherwise they get the full range.

Although, if your cli is trying to mimic another programming function. If it’s very clear that’s the intent, then follow the functionality of the parent function.

Another owner of a Litter Robot 3 here. I managed to snag one of their refurbished units when they offered them so I have the WiFi version, but I don’t bother to try to connect it anymore as it wasn’t offering any benefit and frequently reset itself. I just place the litter box where I can see the light as it’ll flash when it’s full. It’s used by one cat and lasts about a week before needing the bag replaced. You can use large trash bags but third party bags are available if you wanted a more fitting bag. The smells will permeate into the room after 3-4 days, but this is mitigated by fully emptying and deep cleaning the unit periodically (I usually do this when I’ve used a full pail of litter, which is about 4 months). I keep it in the guest room while I don’t have anyone over and the smells don’t exit that room somehow; but you can definitely smell it if it’s in the same room. Still runs well after 8ish years so I think it’s a good value! I had a few $100 units before and they all needed repairs after a year.

I’ll add a +1 to Battleblock Theater! Such a well done game that can be true co-op or “co-op with shenanigans” if that’s more your vibe. The story is entertaining and lighthearted and the levels introduce new mechanics throughout.

Be careful asking too many questions as most people won’t read and you’ll end up denying perfectly fine users. You’ll also end up reading essays for each application, which is tedious at best. A simple, “what about <this Lemmy instance> makes you want to join us instead of another instance?” would probably work perfectly fine.

It’s a very valid question and I think it comes down to an individual’s situation and circumstances. Not many can afford to actually leave or have family, friends, other ties to their home that they cannot emotionally afford to leave. Others struggle in how they can support efforts to fight for their rights or simply don’t have the physical or emotional reserves to make such a fight. I think the only truly ethically irresponsible answer would be to do the opposite that you are able and willing to do. I could never judge someone for leaving or for staying; it’s not really a mark of their character.

I’ve been using porkbun for a few years now and it’s been cheap, simple, and easy to use.

I’m not sure I understand the need for charging to play media on a private server when not on the local network. Why is this no longer going to be free? I’m glad I bought a lifetime pass many many years back but I definitely wouldn’t pay for Plex nowadays with alternatives being comparable. What a silly choice they made~

Fuck no! I always found it funny how communities find specific words offensive and look down upon people that use them. Context is important, of course, but the vast majority of cases I witness people swearing are non malicious in nature. (Don’t get me wrong, there are absolutely words/phrases I will never say; again, context is key here)

Coming up with alternative words for the same intent is super silly to me, too. The individual makes it very clear they are aware of the “rules” and are making an asserted attempt to sidestep them. Why bother with all that effort and not simply use the intended word instead?

You can self host with Vaultwarden! It’s just the server; you use the same Bitwarden clients.

Acrylic paints are your friend here. They last a long while in their bottles and you can keep a palette for a few days when using a wet palette. start with just using a brush and jump up to an airbrush if you want to cover a bigger area or do fancy stuff (an air brush is far from required). As another commenter said, the minipainting community has a ton of resources, text and video tutorials, and willing to provide constructive feedback if you want it.

Just remember: thin your paints~

I’ve had a lot of success taking the rules that YNAB uses and applying to my own budgeting method. I recommend checking out Actual Budget if you’re capable of self-hosting and want a fancier software instead of a spreadsheet. The rules are key, though; pick a methodology/mindset you agree with and stick with it.

Hopefully they don’t go out of their way to try to lock you into using their VTT. I’m not a fan of Roll20 myself but as long as they let Demiplane be themselves and keep it mostly open for third party plugins to do their thing, we should be alright in the long run.

Note to self: go tent camping in Europe

I love meeting random local cats that are super chill and cuddly like this~

From the article, you can get a detailed usage history of MTA transactions by simply supplying the credit card number (which they state can very often be bought on the dark web). The lack of identity confirmation to pull the report is the concern.

I had someone send me a 7z at work a few weeks ago and I got so elated that it wasn’t a zip! I did have to request IT to install 7zip but I’m so glad to have it installed now. It’s nice to see it being adopted more.

Having had both great and terrible work out days, I found what led to the good, enjoyable days was purely the mindset. HIIT on a stationary bike sucks, but I had some fun sessions when I turned it into a game. Weight lifting routines can be super boring, but changing from rep based to time based and seeing if you can crank out a few more reps without sacrificing form can make it fun.

It takes a lot to get into that mindset for me, but it’s possible and it makes a world of difference. Gamification of any task can introduce a challenge and give oneself a better purpose in the moment.

The class keyword exists for a reason and it has a perfectly fine use case when you need to make use of creating new objects. I think it may be disliked because people come over from Java assuming you need to define everything as objects/classes when we have modules and other methods of doing the same thing with a little bit less clutter. I recommend reading up on the underlying functionality and how classes and objects work compared to modules.
