Across this vast Fediverse, I have encountered a trend of people answering questions with esoteric programming language speaking in tongues that I don’t understand, including under my own posts. I am a Boomer when it comes to coding and I am only 27. I don’t even know where I would start to learn it because programming is so...
Don’t learn C/C++/Rust. They’re great languages but you’ll get stuck learning things most experienced programmers don’t understand and you’ll get discouraged.
Python/C# are both great options!
If you want to do mobile development, you might try Kotlin (for Android) or Swift (for iOS).
The trick is just to learn one language, to learn general programming concepts, then learning another in the future will be a lot easier.
You can learn a lot from following online tutorials, YouTube, etc., and you can find communities for each language too.
Also you don’t need to learn to program, there’s a lot of other good skills you could learn. (I keep trying to learn to draw or 3d model, and I just can’t do it lol).
Maybe, hopefully not, but even if it is: with WebAssembly, you’ll be able to (you already can actually but it’s not very widely used) compile and run many languages in the browser, other than JavaScript.
I wouldn’t really recommend learning JavaScript as your first language, it’s pretty weird. Unless you really want to learn web development, then go for it! maybe check out TypeScript though - there’s a lot of learning material for both online.
I think it’s the one sub that I miss that would lend itself well to having a bot repost them since you’re not supposed to contact the op anyway. I don’t know how to do bots and I think it would be an easy success if someone wants that.
Is it possible? I’m with sh.itjust.works but I saw a few posts who were saying that my instance blocks certain stuff. Now I’m not thinking of jumping ship right this second just wondering if that is a possibility.
They also changed the allowed/blocked instances to allow threads.net and defederate lemmy.ml, just like they did on lemmy.world: lemmy.blahaj.zone/instances
I started working on Flyaway with the intention of becoming familiar with Wayland, its protocols and extensions, and the wlroots library. Instead, I ended up genuinely liking all three.
I was recently trying to set up headless Wayland session with wayvnc and labwc but I really wish there was a more basic pre-configured out-of-the-box lightweight window manager like IceWM for Wayland…
Hey guys, has anyone of you tried Mozilla VPN? What are your opinions? It’s just been released in my country and the price is pretty good, so I might be interested in it and wondering what are your thoughts on it.
What is your opinion on material you?
Edit: I meant the ui on android 12+
What's the use of dreamberd programming language ??
Hey, rookie programmer here, I don’t know if this is the right place to ask this but what’s the use of this language specifically ?
I can't code.

Would someone build a bot and sub that reposts best of reddit updates?

Does an instance not take into account local time zone vs instance/server time? (lemmy.world)
I noticed when I sort by new, some of the posts are in the future. Is that just an issue with .world (my home instance) or something broader?
i hate when this happens (pawb.social)
Twitter users right now (sh.itjust.works)
Documenting commands # or $ before sudo?
This might be a stupid question, but hear me out....
Is it possible to migrate my account to another instance?

PSA: Lemmy.world has been compromised! (Edit: Multiple Instances are down)
FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites....
Wayland is pretty good, actually (serebit.com)

Opinions on Mozilla VPN?

Thought experiment for piracy
Imagine a cinema has a peeping view from the outside. Is it immoral to peek through the view? I.e: is it considered stealing to do that?...
