How does Git collaboration on a web text editor/web IDE works behind the scenes (like that of GitLab)? Do they shallow copy the git repo per user working on it and apply any operation (like branching, merging, rebasing) over that or how does that works?

After 1 year decided to install Nextcloud on my Digital Ocean droplet under a subdomain. I'm happy with the results, and now I'm moving my Google Drive data (including contacts) to my Nextcloud instance.

Wish there is a Google Docs equivalent for Nextcloud I could install!.

I'm studying the chance to offer cloud space to my family for free too.

I've been waking up successfully for two weeks now at 6:30 am thanks to sleeping pills and Melatonin pills I'm taking 30 min. before bedtime.

I will change that to 6am starting today.

Yes, I'm sleeping 8 hours and a half, it feels great!.

I literally cried to the Lord while reading the Rego language reference. Man, that thing is HARD to grasp.

After a while I just gave up and switched to Windows (wanted to play) but Windows needed to apply an update thus I decided to reboot and while GRUB was counting down I decided to turn back to Arch and give a try.

I was heard, now this damn policies works and the Go code do not panic anymore.

a federated AWS-like service where people share their resources, lives 100% on crypto and is easy to use and join.

Several months ago I was praising antd's forms but honestly I can't figure how to debug them with React Context Devtools, let alone do that inside React Storybook.

Unless I come up with a solution for this problem I'm a dead man.

In the beginning I was a retard, but then found out about React Query, learned it, made some abstractions around Axios and my JWTs, and now I have 200+ IQ.

God bless Tanner Linsley, you mormon crazy bastard, you did it, you made my life easier.

I'm using react-auth-kit and gave feedback to improve the library, so far so good! I was wondering if sites like codesandbox allow you to run a "backend" along with your frontend because I would like to implement some real world examples about using react-auth-kit, to improve the documentation.

any UI/UX person here? I would like to know if the stencils at https://uxstore.com/ are good? I don't want to buy anything on Amazon because they look cheap and the results reported by buyers aren't great, thus looking for options and UX Store stood on my web search.

Which in the Hell is the key shortcut in GraphiQL to autocomplete all the fields on a query?

Yeah, I like React that much, how could you tell?

I really need to learn flex box, sadly I'm dense and cannot wrap my mind around how it works :(

Look at those digits lol

I'm having troubles with gRPC inside Docker, cannot figure out why some references are undefined in the *_pb.go files

pkg/proto/notify/notify_grpc.pb.go:14:11: undefined: grpc.SupportPackageIsVersion7

Integrated vterm package in Emacs, I'm glad having true-and-efficient terminal emulation inside Emacs

I'm the maintainer of the Godot Engine package in AUR, some users have commented on the package that they would like to see it in the community repo of Arch Linux, but I have no idea how that is done.

Any pointers?

27 days ago I asked here for advice on how to mentor software engineer student that was terrible at coding.

So, we are in the middle of the mentoring, my approach is for her to get used to normal engineering tools, in this occasion she is learning Git and "kanban" (basically we are using Clubhouse for this one) and Github PR submission and approval (I'm the one who approves them, naturally) by doing.

With git, things are hard because we cannot share a terminal session (via upterm) due to her using Windows on her laptop (WSL is an option for using upterm but her internet is so damn slow doing the configuration takes way too long), otherwise teaching her use git would be smoother than it is currently, with the other tools she is gaining a good grasp of them, it pleases me that the bottleneck is with Git itself.

She is working on a hangman game with Python, nothing fancy just the terminal. I made the stories with the requirements in Clubhouse for her to work on each as a unit removing some "thought process" of reading requirements and implementing solutions (at Uni it seems the professor writes a document of several pages detailing the background of the project and the requirements, I can see how it can become confusing for some students like her).

She will start Uni again this August 10th, there is a chance that our first "session" at this will end by then, my fear is that she forgets how to use the tools she learned, so I need to find a way to encourage her to keep using them somehow.

OH, OKAY! that's what I should have do like 4 hours ago. Well, today I learned more of what can `replace` do in Golang modules.

Just learned about nest.land which is the module repository registry for Deno. They use the Arweave to register a permanent version of any module, which by itself address some complaints of people had with Deno and it's module importation methods.

How do I become a consultant? Do I need to master some programming languages and programming patterns and get "know-how" beyond of the general population of software engineers?

since we have go mod I believe that if you are doing microservices or fracturing a monolith app into microservices for that matter, you rather have a monorepo. I'm finding really useful to do `import ("backend/monolith" "backend/notify")` and such than sharing protobuf files by copying with some Makefile target.

I'm afraid of trying micro-services for the second time, spent my evening couping playing Far Cry 5 instead :/

(this time with go kit toolkit).

Why... why they have to be like that?

https://github.com/micro/micro/... was reported 11 days ago, I have this issue with the dashboard inside docker than registers no services nor clients, a shame because this enables testing and that comes handy specially if you have never ever done micro-services.

Despite linking to a minimal example that reproduces the issue I have in my project I'm not getting any support from the developers of Go Micro other than "use the latest Docker image, it shouldn't panic", sadly others give it a try too but their directions won't fix the problem.

So this makes me wonder, after 11 days and a minimal reproducible example provided from day one, why no developer have offered any hint of what I'm doing wrong? they know their software, it should be easier for them to spot why the bloody dashboard is not working as it should.

I made this: https://gitlab.com/snippets/1992288

Spare me if the title makes no sense grammatically, not a native speaker.

I'm building a microservice that keeps a check of the subscribers on my product, I wanted to keep an eye of those subscribers that may be missing the latest payment.

One way to do that is to make it work with my code and some ORM magic, but that may become unsustainable as the customer base grows, another idea that occurred to me was doing it fully inside (?) the database. The solution is to compare how many days have passed since the last payment and right now, if 'right now' is larger than 'last payment' then the subscriber is late with their next payment.

I did this as a PL/pgSQL function with an example usage accompanying that code.

Now, I just need to figure out how to use the result of those calculations in a WHERE statement...

How do I help a software engineer student be better at developing software?

Background: I have this friend that started university with my young brother, two-or-so years ago my brother finished the career and got his degree while she is still there trying to finish the same career (!), we were looking the chance of changing careers but due to her low grades this is not possible and according to her U's counselor is better that she just finishes the career and gets her degree.

We scheduled a Zoom meeting for Sunday next week, to talk about her pain-points and see what improvement we can chase; issue is that I've never mentored anyone ever in my professional life (my brother from time to time drops a question to me or so, but that's different).

My plan is to either see if she suffers from lack of practice (meaning: she does not write software more often in order to improve her skills) or if it's hard for her to think in abstracts, either way, I believe that the latter improves if you do the former (just correct me if I'm wrong), thus the plan would be to assign her a bunch of programming exercises and have meetings at least once a week during her vacations.

My plan would be for her to actually learn game development with Godot, since the final result is always a game my hope is that having something to show encourages her to do the thing, but, who knows.

Have you ever done something like this for someone with the same issues? What was your experience and what nuggets of knowledge can you lend me?

P.S.: We don't live in the States but in Costa Rica, she does not have to deal with crippling student loans.

What are your thoughts about Manning Publications? IMHO they are cool and I like what they have to offer in terms of consumption of books and videos.
