Learning C++
im excited. i aim to start development with wxwidgets

In html/css class

no don't leave hold on

my teacher called me an advanced student for knowing that the different homework assignments we had all shared the same file structure, and that you could easily copy/paste html from last week's assignment into thos week's because the referenced stylesheets and content were all in the same place

i feel good but dirty
html is litterally where i started learning

single-spaced nesting

Big thanks to anyone who helped solve the corridors of time puzzle. Team explorers is proud of you

Any webdevs want to give out some pointers? working together with another guy to build a site for a collective. https://untakenhaven.github.io (github repo https://github.com/untakenhaven/... )

i aliased 'vim' to v
i feel like i could outrun usain bolt rn

Getting serious about the website. backed up my images, and this is my starting point.

gonna make it more of a portfolio-ish display on the main page. figuring out where i'd like to implement navigation and other such stuff - time to actually sit down and learn some js!

don't murder the ginger
but...
Gtk+(2 and or 3) or QT, and why

THERE THANK GOD
MUCH BETTER

Arch linux, iscript.sh

Been doing some sprucing/ricing up of the ol' desktop and wm, what themes would you guys say work most smoothly with the Plano Dark WM theme? (got it here https://xfce-look.org/p/1174518/ ). Adwitta dark is doing an... ok job for now. i'd rather have something a little flatter to match with my titlebar though!

i heard capturing stdout was important.

quick question, is there an easy way to escape the extra characters that the second function outputs?
the output is:
b'subprocess.Popen test\n'
i'd like it to just say "subprocess.Popen test"

Learning the subprocess module in python, because os is deprecated. its a shame because i had just learned os

TL;DR - I’ve done some thinking about operating systems and sticking to one

Mk
so I, like many of you, have seen far more than my fair share of “X operating system is perfect for it all, so don’t use Y operating system because it’s just awful” posts.
Over this week i’ve really done some thinking and experimenting with multiple devices and OSes and programs for various tasks. People coming from windows over to linux (like myself) tend to diss windows (rightfully so for the most part, but still). I’ve also noticed that the android vs. apple debate can get heated among users.
Listen guys,
iOS has its shortcomings obviously, UI being kinda a big one; but no one can deny that apple shoves some of the nicest hardware into their devices. Yes, this stuff is pricey as hell obviously, but the new macs come with an i9 and quite a bit of memory as well. Apple devices tend to have longer lasting batteries too - i cant count the times where i’ve just turned on my mobile hotspot, and stuck my android in my pocket to use my iphone (its a wifi-only 5s). the applications run nicely on apple hardware.
i couldnt learn even half as much programming as i do on my android though; Termux is a godsend, and im able to run and test scripts right there in the palm of my hand. can’t get that on an iphone.
Some of my favorite game developers only develop for windows; I’m dual booting for that sole reason (warframe and the epic games launcher don’t properly run through wine).

Just boil it down inside for a second; You might have come from a more “user friendly” operating system, to learn on one that is less so - wether you wanted the freedom and wiggle room for customization, or just a more developer friendly working environment (God bless conky and its devs) - so you didn’t have to be locked down into one way of seeing things. Putting a previously used OS down directly violates that thougjt process, and at that point you’re just another windows hater, or arch junkie, or whatever. I think we need to be open to appreciating the pros of every system, even if we almost never use some of them, and we should try not to put down other devs-to-be or csci/sec enthusiasts down because of that either.

Not working at McDonalds, I got hired to do factory work for a company i've known about for a while. Loving it way more!

side news: I'm getting into OOP with python, i definitely like the organization and ease and sense in that all. Recently learned how function definition works, so I can really get this ball rolling now!

am i cool on devrant now

a one track mind is probably one of the shittiest things to have.

!rant
the kitchen is a lot more fun to sit and program in than my cluttered mess of a room.

in other tangential news,
i've got orientation at McDonalds! no longer jobless!!!

Hi yes hey hello salutations

what is going on with virtualbox
are any of you getting the QT / Xcb errors i'm getting

(error is along the lines of "QT tried to load xcb, but couldnt find it. your available options are (list including xcb))

this is really inconvenient
