Docker is more than a cop out for than one use case. It’s a way for quickly deploy an app irrespective of an environment, so you can scale and rebuild quickly. It fixes a problem that used to be solved by VMs, so in that way it’s more efficient.

Pinephone looks great and the keyboard case seems very ergonomic. Fo you use it as your daily driver?

How do you install utilities like kubectl and azure CLI on Android?

I keep saying the same about the iPhone but they keep making new ones

With 640x480 screen i doubt it’ll be used for web browsing, unless you use lynx. Firefox in a pinch, but my guess is this will appeal mostly to Linux terminal users.

Full-size usb, Ethernet and keyboard mean you can use it as a Linux computer, install arbitrary debian packages, run shell scripts, python scripts, and you don’t need any dongles. This is the differential factor. You can’t do the same on a smartphone, and it’s not supposed to be a smartphone. Why would you need a separate sim card when you can simply tether Internet from your phone?

I get that this device isn’t for you, but there are people who don’t want to write and maintain apps through apps stores and simply want to copy simple scripts into a small device they can have with them. It’s a niche market and good for them for trying to fill that niche.

I wonder what they use for charging port if not usb c…

Not all smells are bad

You think Bash is the easiest language? I have to Google the syntax every time i need to write and IF statement!

My main struggle on Windows is checking in executable files. I keep forgetting the command whenever i have to add a shell script to the project.

The “built-in Linux” is a VM.

You can go a long way with a touchscreen, but the most annoying thing for me is that in Terminal, using touchscreen selects text instead of scrolling. Other than that, mouse is hardly necessary.

Dragging chrome tab to another screen. On windows and chrome os it works fine, i can drag a tab from one window and it becomes a separate window i can place anywhere.

On Linux, as soon as i move the tab, the new window is created but I’m no longer dragging it. It annoys me greatly because i often want to move tab to the other half of the screen, or another screen and i can’t do it in one motion.

It’s the exposure to those languages that reassures Python developers that Python is superior.

Take nodejs for example. you write js on the backend, js on the front end and you’re convinced that js is all you’ll ever need.

And USB A since most devices, USB sticks and peripherals still use that format

And carry them with you everywhere

They can’t do anything if you don’t have a usb c device to connect to it. Ethernet? Hdmi? A simple fucking memory stick?

If the files were already staged then git should have blobs in the git folder, so they should be recoverable.

In the context of version control it does. Discarding a change that creates a file means deleting the file.

Yep, truth tables mostly. Math is mostly useful in game programming.

It’s expensive being poor
