æʃliŋ, loaf of autismo @aescling@cat.family

@vaporeon_ markdown is just like that

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio anyway yeah i use s6 otherwise

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio i don’t bother to set up services fur packages i installed from my package manager if they already come with systemd configurations

@vaporeon_ sepurrately,

• POSIX-compliant shell scripting
• bash

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ the issue was only ever that systemd was not configured to restart it after it got OOM-killed, and more broadly that i had configured the various components of mastodon in such a way that the server had to deal with memory purressure in the furst place

@Lady @wallhackio @vaporeon_ …interesting

@Lady @wallhackio @vaporeon_ ftr i didn't actually end up thinking switch (true) was better and wouldn’t do it again because it’s just about equally as terrible as that

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ when was the last time you actually had to complain to me that it was broken

@vaporeon_ @Lady @wallhackio they’re optional in javascript :3

@wallhackio @vaporeon_

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ banning the syscatmin… sure that would go down well :P

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio i just irrationally hate if /else if /... that much

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ the equality check on strings in most languages with a string type is an implicit strcmp, yeah. python does this

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio you wanna see some real fucked up shit? switch (true):

  // the navbar links to every chunk of the gallery.
  // the current page does not get a link.
  // index 0 links to `/`.
  /** @type {Node[]} */
  const linksByIndex = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < chunkedImages.length; i++) {
    switch (true) {
      case i === chunkIndex:
        linksByIndex.push(li({ class: "active" }, `${i + 1}`));
        break;
      case i === 0:
        linksByIndex.push(li({}, a({ href: "/" }, `${i + 1}`)));
        break;
      default:
        linksByIndex.push(li({}, a({ href: `/${i + 1}.html` }, `${i + 1}`)));
    }
  }

@wallhackio @vaporeon_

​ if else

​ switch

​ map whose values are the corresponding handler to run

@wallhackio not an undergrad but purrsonally i just despise how if-elseif chains look

@vaporeon_ meow meow meow ​

@vaporeon_ lynx is a category of felid that includes bobcats

@vaporeon_ feels like this shouldn’t be too hard to implement and i’m kinda surpurrised it doesn’t seem to exist yet
