Swift just got this (for switch statements too), and my god is it great.

It’s my attempt to seed this community with high quality material so that it doesn’t end up in the same sorry state as r/mbti :)

Interesting, how does that actually work then? Are they just sharing the same database? Is that a supported configuration?

This blog has long been a go-to resource for me for Jungian theory. There’s a lot of good stuff here to go beyond the 4 letters and learn about cognitive functions and function stacks.

I'm very curious: does single Lemmy instance have the ability to horizontally scale to multiple machines? You can only get so big of a machine. You did mention a second container, so that would suggest that the Lemmy software is able to do so, but I'm curious if I'm reading that right.

This is so good that I almost wish it was the default theme.

This is incredible. It feels so cozy being able to browse lemmy in an Apollo-like UI. I didn’t realize how much I missed it.

[–] MetricExpansion 2 points 2 years ago

I’m using it right now and am honestly amazed at how Apollo-like it is.

For me, that’s a low bar! HackerNews just has this vibe that I can’t get on with. It seems like everyone there actually just hates technology and there’s a lot of negativity and cynicism. Something like that, at least. I can’t put my finger on it exactly, but I get a mild sense of dread just opening it up, let alone reading the comments. It’s not a feeling I used to get when reading other tech-oriented discussion boards like, say, /r/rust, where you just get to see a bunch of cool stuff other people have built or people helping each other out.

Passing around references works, but then you have to deal with ownership issues. Often the motivation for cloning a Vec or String is just to avoid dealing with lifetimes and to get ownership, but the mutability isn’t actually required. In these situations I think the video’s recommendation to use an Arc is actually a good one.

In fact they could have talked transparently about their opex and asked for a simple donation drive every now and then like Wikipedia.

This reminds me of when Reddit used to show their monthly server costs and ask that people get gold to help offset it.

 

So basic usability question here. If I end up looking at a post on a different Lemmy server (say, over at beehaw) and want to comment/vote on it, how can I quickly open it up on my home Lemmy server?

Right now I copy paste the entire title, open my server, search the title, and then find the post. But that seems really cumbersome. Any better way?
