Im considering spending some serious time learning one of the above. Two principle engineers I work with exclusively use them, and watching them work is incredible, the speed they move and get things done is pure wizadry. Can anyone learn this skill? For what it’s worth, the alternative is learning VScode. I’ve exclusive...
Preamble: I’m sure there’s a better community to ask this question, comment below if you’re aware of it....
As a programming student i feel sometimes we go a bit too technical and we lose the philosophy and the main point of what we are doing....
I used to be a lurker of r/C_programming where people would ask questions and get answers. It mostly consisted of students wanting to get a human answer to their problem....
I hear Sam Newman’s - Monoliths to Microservices is worth a read.
Heads up if you’re using Alpine images to host your services or run build pipelines. Alpine’s packages are going to be less current unless some others maintainers are found to pick up the slack.
When running docker dev environment with Linux and Windows (with WSL2), it’s already in the same container context so the performance is decent. However, on Mac there’s no WSL2 equivalent so bind mounts are painfully slow due to the overhead of translation between the Mac’s and container filesystem....
Hey! Curious if anyone tried to communicate between GovCloud and Commercial AWS? I am aware they are separated by design. I have a task to try to have a ECS make an api call a private api gateway on GovCloud. Right now the idea is to use private API gateway on GovCloud and a VPC Endpoint on the Commercial side. I don’t think...
I had a bunch of personal scripts to manage my music database. Maybe 10-sh scripts, max a few hundred lines long, nothing too big. A little while ago, I wrapped them into a big emacs org file for literate programming, and to tangle them, so I could easily edit them in one place. Backed them up to at least three servers, both...
Honestly all this world looks really overwhelming, there’s too much stuff going on: each program uses its own languages, its own compilers, uses different tools, libraries, dependencies, package managers and frameworks. You need specific instructions and documentation to learn new stuff at every single thing you deal with....
Hi! I’m learning code: I’ve been doing a bit of JavaScript, and now i’m switching to TypeScript before going through frameworks....
Hey there programmers, I know this is a more markup/typesetting deal, but I thought there might be people who are interested. After being dissapointed with many of the options out there for making ttrpg item cards, I made a LaTeX template for that exact purpose. I wanted it to be relatively easy to use, generate clean images,...
Does anyone here use Exercism? I’ve started using it to learn Elixir, and it seems to be good. I’m thinking about having my kids use it as well for Python and JS/TS....
Hi all! Data scientist here, trying professionalise a group of hobby programmers who’ve somehow found ourselves doing it for a living. The programming we know; it’s the infrastructure we’re lacking. None of us knows how to organise a programming team, myself very much included....
Hello fellow programmers!...
I have looked at Google Cloud Run, Microsoft Azure and Kamatera so far. These are free trials, and I deleted and removed all projects after playing with them....
I know profilers and debuggers are a boon for productivity, but anecdotally I’ve found they’re seldom used. How often do you use debuggers/profilers in your work? What’s preventing you? conversely, what enables you to use them?
Seriously, though, Comic Sans was originally designed to be legible at the smallest possible font size, and the lack of hard lines makes it easier to read!
Personally, I started off with Roblox back in the early 2010s, and taught myself Lua. I really liked those Tycoon games, and wanted to see how they worked....
C is an old language lacking many, many, many modern features. One of the features it does not lack is encapsulation and isolation.
So after reading a number of posts and comments on here about Linux, I've decided to give 'er a go. I have access to an Azure VM, but I have never done anything involving Unix before and have only a basic understanding of coding in general....
Good explanation of the difference between work efficiency and step efficiency when talking about parallel algorithms.
Hi all, keeping this post short, I am working on a new Lemmy app for iOS and Android, heavily inspired on the Infinity for Reddit app....
