Is anyone using awk? (lemmy.world)
 

Studying and awk came up.

Spent about an hour and I see some useful commands that extend past what "cut" can do. But really when dealing with printf() format statements is anyone using awk scripts for this?

Or is everyone just using their familiar scripting language. I'd reach for Python for the problems being presented as useful for awk.

I wish there were more articles about tech not tech biz in c/technology@lemmy.world

HackerNews(ycomb) is a veritable gold mine but I find the community to be a bit caustic at times.

There is a HackerNews mirror on Lemmy here that I like but not too many people comment. If I saw more activity I'd probably comment more.

Stack Overflow: 79% of Developers Considering A Career Move in c/programming@programming.dev

For the first time in my career I'm actually not in this position. Found an employer that's an ex engineer and just "gets it". Good compensation, good benefits, and invests in all of our understanding and careers. Sucks seeing all the people just let go so I'm surprised this survey has this result.

Maybe it was conducted before this season of let gos.

Honestly this is the reason I want an immutable build of Arch like NixOS.

Let me roll back my mistakes and I could live more happily with rolling release.

Favorite comedy podcast (lemmy.world)
 

Even though it's pretty subjective, I'm curious what other comedy podcasts out there are on the top of their game.

Currently I've been listening to Your Mom's House but I've heard from others that it's fallen a bit since it's earlier years.

Look. Clearly I need some education in this area. Why didn't the "projects" in the 80's and 90's effectively provide these benefits?

Wanting to get started (lemmy.world)
 

Loved the aesthetics from pictures I had seen of other cyberdecks.

Does anyone have recommendations on builds to get started with?

Feature request: Swipe to hide (lemmy.world)
 

It would be convenient to swipe away posts I've already seen. Something I got used to as a habit on RIF once I got it setup.

Definitely not a deal breaker but might make for a nice UX add.

Thanks for the hard work!!
