I shall try that. 🤔

I have @home and @ subvolumes, with Timeshift taking automated weekly snapshots of @ with all of the system directories, but don’t I bother with @home since that gets backed up in other ways.

I recently setup Mint with btrfs Timeshift, and grub-btrfs to make it more like OpenSUSE. It’s more work to do that with Mint, but I’ve tried customizing other distros to make them more like Mint and have come to the conclusion I just like Mint.

You mean the QA teams a lot of companies laid off because management decided the developers (and now AI) can just write all the automated tests?

Agreed, that’s why comments exist, IMO, but should be used sparingly.

I set a static IP for my Windows partition and block it from internet with my firewall. It’s hostile malware that must be quarantined. My Linux partition has a different IP that is not blocked.

On a related note, I jack up my Mint install a few times a year with nobody to blame but myself. I recently reinstalled it with btrfs, Timeshift with automatic snapshots, and btrfs-grub so I can boot from a snapshot instead of troubleshooting or reinstalling. I realize other distros like openSUSE are more or less setup like this out of the box or offer full immutability, but I like Mint.

Well-structured code with clear naming > comments. For example, a pet peeve of mine is seeing a long function with comments preceding each section of code instead of moving each section into a smaller function with a name that clearly describes what it does. The best comments are no comments.

TS transpiles to JS, and then when that JS is executed in Deno, Node.js, a Blink browser like Chrome, etc., it gets just in time compiled to native machine code instead of getting interpreted. Hope that helps.

The JavaScript code is compiled to native and is heavily optimized, as opposed to being interpreted.

I had to deal with large JavaScript codebases targeting IE8 back in the day and probably would’ve slapped anyone back then who suggested using JavaScript for everything. I have to say, though, that faster runtimes like v8 and TypeScript have done wonders, and TypeScript nowadays is actually one of my favorite languages.
