adr1an@programming.devto Programming@programming.dev•'I Recreated Shazam's Algorithm from Scratch because no one is hiring jnr devs' - Chigozirim63·2 months agoCyou count to 100? Learn quantum physics, compute the odds for each ball, and win the lottery. Easy peasy. I don’t know why these kids can’t thrive here in the future.

In all seriousness, learning c++ or any language is good advice but it may only be easy or even possible if you have a certain background of concepts. We tend to overlook those, and remember achieving a certain skill without the full picture
Will anyone acknowledge the fact that you only learn to ride a bike once? To me, the saying “is like riding a bike” means the opposite…

And why untyped languages are better at managing memory too. Less characters ftw!

PS. I just started to watch “zero day” Netflix series, with Robert DeNiro. It’s quite good. But I thought it was the Russians…
adr1an@programming.devto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Turning a mini-pc into a WiFi access pointEnglish1·3 months agoNot sure if this is what you’re are after, but https://github.com/lakinduakash/linux-wifi-hotspot allows, among other things, to share the Ethernet-connected PC internet (with VPN if needed) as a WLAN for TVs, Phones, etc.
adr1an@programming.devto Programming@programming.dev•Coders or lemmy, what editors do you use? Is it worth learning a new one?1·3 months agoPerhaps you want a touchscreen.
I learned basics of vim, I can recommend. But also, it takes time to master. And I’d put other stuff first like fundamentals of git (stashes, staging area, branches and rebase.)
Also, don’t underestimate using an IDE that’s popular, I had switched over recently and found it convenient when a colleague asks for help. I can’t tell them ‘oh yeah I know how to do that on my setup’ (though is valid…)
Like 3 years ago, I was into emacs, which I used with vi keybindings. Many extensions provided quality of life (tramp, magit, which-key) that others (vscode) only emulated and required hardware I lacked. Anyway…
If this is really about keys, go for gnu readline flavor instead of vi. I didn’t, and those are way more ubiquitous. Anyway, research that and make your own decision.
Ps, here’s a rabbit hole https://codeberg.org/ashton314/emacs-bedrock#emacs-bedrock

adr1an@programming.devMto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Speaking words of wisdom...Let It Be, Let It Be3·3 months agoPrecisely. I was remembering someone else’s complain on a co-worker thay had. It was bad for this reason(s), and to make the situation even more infuriating they were able to sell themselves quite well. So they changed jobs, always ‘capitalizing’ on their frauds…
adr1an@programming.devMto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Something something case-insensitive file something...3·5 months agoBut whose bug is it? Really, Git origins have it tied to Linux development.
Case sensitivity, or the lack thereof, on a filesystem is opinionated. That’s the real issue and is not a bug.
from hammers import sledgehammer
and that’s why I love Python :)
Indeed. Also, I am concerned about self-hosting enthusiasts that install docker (without the advance rootless mode) and blindly run containers. Sometimes these containers are even made by third parties, independent of the app developers. Unfortunately, the supply chain there is up for grabs…
Ah, my bad “again”… should have mentioned that there’s the advance configuration option that 1% of the geeks do
Docker is not rootless. Is only safe as long as the container (or those web devs) doesn’t use
nsenter
or anything similar to get root access outside of it ;)

adr1an@programming.devto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•I tried to selfhost Nextcloud at workEnglish1·7 months agoI’m attracted to it because of the posix backend. Did anyone try it? Is it stable?

yeah, but then how am I supposed to remember “tar” ? :P
