Tip: sudoedit often overlooked as an alternative to sudo vim in c/[email protected]

[–] adamnejm 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Meanwhile, a reverse vim enjoyer like myself, using micro to edit any file running as my user. If it requires root to write, it will simply elevate the permissions for that operation when I press Ctrl+S, asking for password if needed.

Same idea with VSCodium, but via GUI polkit prompt.

Life is good when you don't hjkl ^_^

Tell one thing that you miss after switching from another OS to Linux. in c/[email protected]

[–] adamnejm 15 points 2 weeks ago

I honestly loved some of the default Windows apps, like Notepad, Paint and believe it or not, the default file manager. I find that most file explorers on Linux can't strike a good balance between simplicity and the amount of features.

Thankfully (or not, if you use Windows) they started enshittifying each and every one of them, so there's nothing to miss any more.

Give Up GitHub - Software Freedom Conservancy in c/[email protected]

I'm probably gonna switch from Codeberg, I just can't rely on a service that's down all the time or takes literal minutes to load a repo page.

We don't need more Wayland Compositors in c/[email protected]

[–] adamnejm -2 points 1 month ago

Oh no, he's shilling his own project after transitioning to a different technology.

Do you even hear yourself? I think you should stick with "He's a biggot" type of comments, because this just makes you look stupid.

Wayland support for the 565 release series in c/[email protected]

reluctantly accepting the standard that was developed without them

Not with everything, Nvidia stood still on explicit sync, in that case it were the idiots at Freedesktop that were massively blocking Wayland's progress, trying to force an inferior technology, which Nvidia did not want to implement.

Meanwhile "per monitor workspaces" have been requested almost 20 years ago and are a dealbreaker for many users...

Still no per monitor workspaces :/

Best Alternatives to GitHub? in c/[email protected]

[–] adamnejm 1 points 1 month ago

I've been using Codeberg for a while now, however their servers are not always up to par. I've been in situations where it takes forever to load content of the code base via their website, pushing to a repo was also really slow, upwards of 30 seconds.

I know they've been DDOS'd a while back, but this was about a week ago and lasted for few days.

Found the Windows user. On Linux we actually have polkit that can elevate privileges with a GUI prompt.

Lazy Lua - Extended standard library for Lua >=5.1 (gitlab.com)

submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by adamnejm to c/lua

0 comments fedilink

Lazy is a library that extends the standard Lua library.
It exposes function modules such as math, string, table, etc.

It's aimed to fill the gaps of Lua's standard libraries by providing functions such as math.round to round numbers, string.trim to remove leading and trailing white spaces from a string and many many many more.

One important feature of Lazy is that the require path of modules is automatically resolved, which allows you to require the lazy library from virtually anywhere.
For example the lazy folder may be located in the root of your project or any sub-directory. More so, upon setting your LUA_PATH correctly, lazy can be required anywhere from your PC without having to import it into your project. Please refer to the GitLab page for more information .

Example usage:

local lazy = require "lazy"

lazy.math.round(1234.5678, 2) --> 1234.57
lazy.os.capture("pwd") --> /home/name/projects/lua/lazy
lazy.string.split("Lua is amazing!", " ") --> { "Lua", "is", "amazing!" }
lazy.table.append({ "A" }, { "B" }, { "C" }, { "D" }) --> { "A", "B", "C", "D" }

Contributions and requests are welcome :P

Community Rules and Guidelines (self.lua)

submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by adamnejm to c/lua

1 comments fedilink

All the rules from this Lemmy instance apply.
Additionally, please try to follow these community-specific rules:

Rules

1. Posts must relate to Lua

All posts must be related to the Lua programming language.
This also includes related and derivative projects, such as Luau or MoonScript.

2. Use descriptive titles

Your title should in short describe the contents. That applies to all kinds of posts, no matter whether you're showcasing a project, discussing a feature or asking for help.

Examples of bad titles:

please help!
^ Doesn't provide any information about the post
How to rotate SENT?
^ Should also information about API and ideally expand SENT which is a rather niche acronym
request.lua
^ Could provide a short description of the library

Examples of good titles:

[Help] Lua errors when using string.format with the %p flag
How to rotate a Scripted Entity in Garry's Mod when spawned?
request.lua - Lua >=5.1 library to simplify HTTP requests

Please note that there are no strict rules related to tagging posts (eg. including [Help] or [Roblox] in the title), but they are very welcome nonetheless.

3. Provide reproduction code

When asking for help, you should provide a reproduction code whenever applicable. This doesn't mean that you should copy and paste your whole project or script into the post, in fact the opposite. Try to isolate the issue you're facing on your own and only include the code needed to reproduce it.

A screenshot or image of the code is never valid. Additionally the code should be provided using the following Markdown syntax:

```lua
<your code goes here>
```

4. Information about environment

When asking for help, and ideally releasing a project, you should include as much information as possible about the target environment.
Most important thing is the Lua API in use, that means the video game, game engine, framework, library, etc.
Other information such as Lua version, environment variables, operating system, etc. may be useful as well.

Posts not following the rules may be deleted without prior notice.
Repeated offenders may be issued a warning and banned.

If you do not agree with the rules or statements made here, please discuss your issue in the comment section, I'm sure something can be done about it.
