Hey, folks! My son (currently 15) is interested in getting into game development. He’s taken a class in Python in school and enjoyed it, but I know Python won’t be enough. I don’t think he’s interested in ever making big, AAA games, but more along the lines of Undertale (which was made in Game Maker Studio) or Bug Fables...
Recently I've experienced a significant increase in merge conflicts at the company I'm currently working at (we hired a couple of junior data scientists and some are not that familiar with git)...
Copilot is great, but a hundred bucks for what is basically a smart autocomplete seems a bit much - mostly, I hate the fact that the code is constantly transmitted to github (my repos are mostly local) - are there any reasonably convenient options for doing this without github looking over my shoulder all the time? I’m using...
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?
I ask because I like console, but at the same time have difficulties remembering all the commands. I'd like to try a GUI that is comfortable to use with only a keyboard....
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....
Have to say, I wasn’t expecting this in my feed. It is a bit novel of a concept, but if you think about what it takes to build and ship a product, a lot of this makes sense, and modern languages are starting to follow the batteries included mentality (golang, rust)....
I want to start a discussion of MIT vs GPL and see what you all think
Hello everyone....
I looked into the lemmy src, and what is supposed to be a CRUD API has several layers of abstraction. Same at work, where we have hexagonally structured apps where following any sort of logic is literally impossible. What are your thoughts?
After the (temporary) defederation announcement of earlier i checked the Lemmy repo to see if there was already a ticket on the federation limiting option like Mastodon's that people mentioned Lemmy doesn't yet have. Not only i didn't find it, i also saw that there's about 200+ open tickets of variable importance. Also saw that...
I always wish I wouldn’t have to pull in python/pandas to do simple data transformations on smaller local datasets/csv files and stick with sqlite. But then I tend to quickly hit a problem that seems to require dynamic SQL. Anything in between SQL and a general programming language that is made for transforming tabular data?
So, I have been mostly self thaught programmer (C++), as its a big part of my job (not a regular developer). But so far I have been using a simple text editor like Geany to code and I compile stuff either in terminal (linux) or produce my own make file....
Hello all,...
So ive tried to code many times on my own but i feel like im doing things the hard way and im still unsure what to pick becasue ive been jumping around here and there. like most gamers i would like to try to make a game or something but im just not sure if i can or not becasue it seems really hard to do and im not sur eif ill...
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!
…But I’ve only ever heard SSL pronounced as its three letters. Why not like “Cecil”? Or “Sizzle”?...
I can’t remember where I came across this website, but I love it and wanted to pass it along for anyone else learning SQL right now!
For me, it’s CTE’s. I find it amazing to complete a calculation with clear intermediate steps, and goes a long way towards convincing people to use SQL rather than Excel to perform calculations on large tables of data....
Howdy guys! Just like most of you, I have been in a never ending quest to find the perfect font and the color theme. Did you guys ever find what you were looking for?...
Have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes when you write a C program? How does your code transform from lines of text into a fully functional binary executable? If you’ve been curious about the intricacies of the C program compilation process, you’ve come to the right place.
Designed to be easier to read and parse
Hey all! My team at work is struggling with growing pains of getting into a formalized review process, so I was wondering if any of you guys have some things to live or die by in your code reviews. How much of it is manual, or how much is just static code analysis + style guide stuff, etc?
