Random Monday, Pt 1:

What's your RAM usage right now?

VNC, RDP, X11 Forwarding, WTF.

There is not a single good product to "stream" a linux desktop to a different machine without being logged in in "parallel".

They are all complicated and/or suck big time in quality.

Wait so Win 11 is real?

What happened to the whole Windows 10 is forever and it'll just be updated deal?

The same people who are afraid of their data stolen by websites are totally fine with adding a phone number on take away websites.

What the fuck?

I hate it. It's a mandatory field. I don't know my phone number and if you call me there I won't even see it. If you can't deliver my order it must be my fault and so be it.

Arduino & ESP-32 without the arduino library.

Good look finding any example code. It's just you and datasheets with fontsize 2.

How is C and C++ development done in reallife ffs?

Like, you got no ecosystem whatsoever, just thousands of build chains. How does this work?

Show me how you made an http server with an arduino nano and an esp8266 via AT commands from the arduino, the arduino handling the clients.

No you didn't, this shit is fucking impossible.

Coding for MCUs gets more and more surreal every day.. On one hand we're cooding oldschool heavy metal C or C++, but on the other hand they tell you to use PuTTY to check if there is a working serial connection - what the fuck?

Also the IDEs they suggest you. VSCode or Eclipse. Both are so unbelievable unusable for this, even with plugins, I would compile this shit via CLI myself before using them.

It just feels so contrary - they act like professionals and just spit out 200 uncommented lines of C to start WiFi on the ESP32 - not explaining a single fucking thing, but on the other hand, they checked the connection via PuTTY after writing some uwu kawaii shit into Eclipse.

Not to mention Arduino with their FUCKING SKETCHES.

Someone needs to explain these android terminal emulators to me.

As a kid I had something like it installed on my android 4 back in the days, too. And I was facinated by it and always thought yup, thats linux running right before my eyes.

Now I'm thinking: wait a sec, so you're telling me thats actually Linux running within this dalvik vm stuff on android? Like - how?

I know android runs on linux but is it really that these terminals access the drives/devices/files of the real linux under it?

So i started using i3 a few months ago.

How tf did I even manage application windows before?

My mom was a media designer and as a kid I liked watching her doing stuff with CorelDRAW. And as soon as she played Sims in the evenings I really wanted to learn how to make a window and stuff in it happen.

So I started learning C, because my stepdad had a book laying around. (He did not know how to code by the way, now I'm asking myself why we even had this book)
But never got further than a few console applictions asking for input, messing with it and printing something.
Later I got into HTML/CSS/JavaScript (in that order over a course of a good 3 years or so) because I wanted to do stuff people can see and easily reach (an exe wasn't the nicest way of showing people something imo)

And that's when I totally fell in love with JS and it never stopped from then.:D

I did a few excurses to C++, Java, VB, C#, such kinda stuff and learned many many things about how stuff actually works. C being my very first language immensely helped with that.

I'm also trying some game development, as this was one of the main reasons I started coding, but I'm not creative enough and do it less and less.

Nowadays I do HTML, CSS, JS, TS and PHP for a living and I love it.:D

How do you actually accredit code stolen from a project on github? Like it's not used commercially and it's going to be on github, too.

for context: i stole a java class from a minecraft mod. which is about 5% of the source project but makes more then 50% of my project.

Are there any zapier devs here or people who made a zapier integration?

Maybe even with the integration being open source?

Just looking for how-did-they-do-it inspiration.

Coming from NodeJS, writing APIs with Express, I now do my first steps writing APIs in golang with gin.

Now I know, Express is not the fastest solution out there, but I mean - a good 30ms is alright for non-high-performance backends. And I always thought that's on the faster end of HTTP handling..

..but then I used gin. A GET request doing a MongoDB-write and returning some json. 3ms response time. THREE MILISECONDS. holy fuck. By it's debug logs the actual handling took 540 MICROSECONDS. holy fuck I'm in love.

So let me get this straight: Minecraft Bedrock edition is essentially Microsoft being like "lol let's just quickly recode what they did over the years in Java, but in C++ and in a weekend"?

What a fucking flex.

God i fucking love golang

Are we actually able to measure if a person drank enough by any means? Like wouldn't it be nice if smart watches actually tell you that you need to drink something to keep you healthy instead of just reminding in set intervals?

Damn bro Vue 3 sucks actually. It's just a big function now with arguments like "`this` can be sometimes confusing when TypeScript is used." - hell no, my component was a class and this was the fucking class. nothing was confusing about this.

It's all a clusterfuck of magic now, I don't see why writing `ref(5)` or `return { all of your shit }` after `setup() { complete business logic inclusive functions here }` is better.

I was so looking forward to all the improvments, but why do we need these 3 apis with actually no difference, tried to be explained by the same image of colorful blocks in every single fucking article?

what happened to methods? am i seriously supposed to return them from a function? that just feels wrong.

Who makes all these zapier integrations. Wild errors nobody has other than me, what the fuck

@microsoft/rush is just Microsoft finding out about symlinks and heavily overusing them now.

Learn the basics. Know when stuff allocates memory or pushes the stack.

Anyone touched sims 4 modding in python and this resource-xml stuff?

How the hell do get people into that and know what they have to do?

Wtf is this ESP32 shit and it's hype?

I bought one because I thought JS on a microcontroller? That's gotta be fun!

I'm a hobbiest when it comes to MCUs and I do JS as a job, so I tought I'm made for this and I know at least as much as all the kids on the internet doing it.

Nothing makes sense with this shit. You have to flash wildly compiled modules of WHATEVERTHEFUCK with fucken python development-kits which have something to do with Lua to give you some kind of node-REPL which answers you with a bunch of strangely-looking errors starting with "stdin:x:".
If this NODE-MCU shit is made for JS why is there stuff about Lua everywhere you go with this, I don't get a single thing. Now I'm sitting on about 3 different git repos of sdks or what do I know and know less than before.

Oh and there is actually not a single tutorial really targetting the esp32. it's all about that 82xx-model.

Then I start googling around a bit more - It's not even ES6, it's just some ES3/5 shit. Why would you even do this. That's actually harder to manage than classic C/C++. You get no gain with it. Fuck me.

Wtf bro.

Scottish English is not even english anymore.

Unpopular Opinion: most devs doing it just for the money are pretty fucking shit at programming and problem solving.

I do it because I like to make screen go blinkyblink. Top reason to be one: you are not scared if printer goes blinkyblink because you know why it makes blinkyblink.

So we're really writing

if __name__ == "__main__"

?

I'm lost for words.

minecraft is where a tool does more damage than a weapon.

Moving a partition on my ssd to the left. Therfore it copies 98GB. ~50GB of them are used.

Speed: 25 MB/s. Wtf?

*array* in php. As soon as the word "array" is in it's name it's argument order, type and return value are just fucken luck.

If you thought IE11 sucks, try to use Range, extractContents and surroundContents in Edge 44.
