@valhalla No, this is not a good solution to the problem I've got for 2 reasons:
- I have a bunch of stuff in my ~/.local/bin, many of which are binaries and I often add or remove stuff from there. Most of that stuff is not developed by me, thus I don't want that to be in my git repository, moreover this would include whichever libraries I'm using/local environments in my bin directory.
And then, of course I would have to keep committing and pulling every time I edit something.

No me interesa mucho de este cosa de Twitter y tal, pero soy muy feliz de no vivir en América.
Como pueiser legal esta cosa?

Hello experienced programmers, I ask for advice regarding my workflow.
I'm writing a lot of small programs to use on a server in order to execute several operations and calculations.
My workflow is to simply open the server, open vim and write the code; then store it directly in a stow directory if it's python or its compiled binary if it's something else.
The more I do this the more I realize this is unsustainable:
- I'm not using git, which is problematic as I often have to come back and make some adjustments.
- I cannot use a different IDE, which I would prefer.
- I don't really have proper personal backups.

The advantage of this, is that I just have to write the code and I can immediately use it.
What I would like is: write the code on my personal computer and seamlessly have the software available in my server ~/.local/bin to be run.
I do not want to have to run rsync 20 times in order to do this.
Do you know how I could set up my system in order to achieve this?
Thank you.

@weex @CrimethInc
It can be a metric, it might even be a good one (often isn't though), but is it a metric that should be optimized?

@RichardJMurphy Why are you providing forecasts and not data?
Why isn't data before the 2016 provided?

You can't really make a point without that data. The data about visas is also meaningless without a counterpart providing the numbers of people who didn't require the visa before.

@Pat hahaha, yes
It's unfortunate I wasn't hired in another position in which I would have worked with psychedelics, that would have taken this to a whole new level
I probably would have developed some software with that name ;)

Tried this language model by Facebook https://galactica.org/
Quite cool, you can ask some questions and it provides you with a brief answer, sometimes the answer is completely wrong but most of the times it's adequate and could actually be used to further do some research; still it would be much better to just search wikipedia...

You get some funny replies at times, such as:

Question: What is the twitter?
Answer: twitter

Question: What is facebook?
Answer: Sorry, your query didn't pass our content filters. Try again and keep in mind this is a scientific language model.

@mikekav66 That's awful, I feel chemists in particular should have a good manuality. While I'm quite young, I did some mouth pipetting a few times. Just to get the gist of it in order to be able to do it if the time comes when that's required. Obviously did that with some quite harmless stuff...

@tylerjburch Is this reliable?

@MarkRubin I think I got him wrong...

@galeot Ricordo che c'è un modo per far girare dei software senza accesso ad internet, ma non sono sicuro che si possa impostare a livello di sistema.
D'altronde interfacce carine per firewall linux non se ne sono mai viste...

@galeot I've looked through the wiki already and didn't find anything really useful.
I'll try disabling IPv6 tomorrow to see if that does something.
I'm tired of having to switch between NetworkManager and networkd and I don't want to use networkd all the time as it has no nice GUI.

@torrid Such an amazing innovation, the vacuum flask is incredible!
I want to become left handed just to be able to use these.
Please, take all my grant money.

Hello there,
I'm using an ethernet connection that gives access based on the MAC address of clients.
The connection works, but using NetworkManager it fails at the DHCP lease renewal step after some time and I get stuck with an old IP address that I cannot use, I tried both the integrated dchp client and dhclient.
Using systemd-networkd works fine and the renewal goes well.

Do you know what could be the problem? What dhcp client does systemd use?

#systemd #NetworkManager #linux

@governa Just workarounds for an essential problem.
These work only as long as a package for the software you wish to use exists, which it very often doesn't.
Add to that that nobody likes any of those systems and users of one are likely to start a fight with the users of the others.

@mikekav66 Definitely you're going to tell your students that the human mouth is much more reliable at mouth pipetting than a robot mouth.
