Related... Talking with a friend at $unnamed_company discussing their custom VCS that's ... sorta Git w/submodules? But not. And also, it treats every directory as a submodule?

Chris Petrilli Jul 11

All of this complexity to solve access control for one module. Literally, 1 module.

HoldMyType Jul 11

@petrillic somewhat like calling a a script a micro service ?

That sounds like a problem in the chain of responsibilities in the company.

Someone higher up must have stopped it. The situation "I know the neighbor of my son's best friend and he programmed a solution." will inevitable arise sooner or later. And it must be dealt with accordingly.

It is not a problem of the developing neighbor.

@petrillic But reinventing shit is FUN!

This works for mechanical engineers in bicycle shops, too.

@petrillic I spend an inordinate amount of time examining the quality of the wheel, and then leave.

@petrillic This needs rewriting in Rust.

@petrillic question: is the wheel implemented in rust?

Luka Rubinjoni Jul 11

@petrillic In case you wish to fork the project, here's a rusty fork that you'll need to...

Cavyherd Jul 11

"Yes, but if I do have to reinvent it, how many corners should it have?"

Jan Peterka Jul 11

@cavyherd @petrillic It should be extendable for any number of corners some future update and/or plugin decides to support.

Also this version of wheel will support containerization of course.

Pteryx the Puzzle Secretary Jul 15

@cavyherd @petrillic
An odd number, and the sides need to be curved.

😂 👍

I am reminded of the guy who got kicked out of Zen class when Sensei asked, "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" & guy proceeded to demonstrate.

Andrew Jul 11

@petrillic actually thats a GNU/Wheel

delve ✨Jul 11

@petrillic I'd like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Wheel is in fact GNU/Wheel, or as I have recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Wheel...

morfil (any)🌈Jul 11

@petrillic I have notes. As I understand, the whole point of open source is to NOT be dependent on big for money corporations but to form a community and do it yourself, as a collective. That demands a sort of ' I'm not just gonna buy, I'm gonna make' sort of attitude that starts with curiosity and then lets creativity do its thing. So perhaps just leave the efficiency thing to the big money cops? Otherwise you might lose more than you gain?

@petrillic ohhh so that's what the wheel group is for

Don Faulkner Jul 11

@petrillic do I need a “drivers license” or something to use this wheel? Is the drivers license open source compatible?

Magnus Ahltorp Jul 11

@petrillic You’ve found a letter from the SCO marketing department. And no, their wheel wasn’t working just fine.

Rachel Greenham Jul 11

@petrillic ok wise guy, you tell us what colour it should be

Scribblemacher Jul 11

@petrillic Web Dev: "This is just silly. Do npm install truck, and take the wheel off the truck"

Franchesca Jul 11

@scribblemacher @petrillic Coming from a C++ background and into Python, I feel this one pretty deeply 😅

Why Not Zoidberg? 🦑Jul 11

@scribblemacher @petrillic but that gives a bloated package library.

violet Jul 11

not a linux dev but I feel targeted by this as I am thinking about writing a small simple static website/blog generator for my personal website

🌈☔🌦️🍄🌱🍉 (dect: 5463)Jul 15

@just_violet @petrillic none of those actually work 'fine'.

Salva Jul 11

@petrillic but... What if I can rewrite in rust?

Ehay2k Jul 11

But what if the wheel was an oval? Let me work on that!
🤔

😂

Why Not Zoidberg? 🦑Jul 11

@petrillic But part of the wheel is made by code I personally don't feel is Free As In Freedom enough. Even tho it's under the standard open source licenses.

saucerlost Jul 11

@petrillic
I made it out! I didn't reinvent the wheel, I just gave it a new GUI with absolutely no dark mode option

...oh god, I'm a monster

MarkAssPandi Jul 11

@petrillic Once again I see post that relates rly well with my talk "Art of reinventing the wheel"

Hi Jigsaw!

Reinventing what? The saw trap?

Seems to be interesting, how it is working. And if there is a way to get the wheel out of the trap without damaging neither the wheel, the trap nor myself.

Should I check the door first and make sure, it stays unlocked? But the door is pretty uninteresting, it is just an unlocked door.

1/2

We reinvent wheels to understand, how wheels are made. To be able to build wheels, which perfectly fit our needs.

And the knowledge from reinventing wheels gives us the power to evaluate and assess a saw trap and find ways around it.
For fun. And to become better.

By the way, I don't care about YOUR challenge. I create my own challenges. They are far more interesting to me and way more complex. But you probably don't understand that.

Adept

Jigsaw creates challenges for others.

I create challenges for myself.

We are not the same.

Peter Bloem Jul 11

@petrillic Incidentally, a lot of people are very used to the way the wheel works at the moment, and have built their workflows around it.

They really like not having to think about the wheel or how it works at all.

Or, if you prefer, there is a terminal with a reddit post where someone is wrong on the Internet. You can reply to correct them, or walk out the door.

Same deal

Tim Magee Jul 12

@petrillic Perfect, with one reservation: I hope a javascript framework developer didn't write it, because if so I fear for my irony meter.
