And all of it burns CO2 in multiple places. Not just a computer crime!
MalReynolds@slrpnk.netto Programming@programming.dev•Why AWS, Google and Oracle are backing the Valkey Redis fork | TechCrunchEnglish10·1 year agoObvs it’s about control and money, but it highlights (perhaps badly, but also validly) a need for a mechanism to get funding from profiting entities for open source development, and unfortunately GPL and charity is not it. A well-thought-out license with an expectation of sharing profit from OSS would be a boon for OSS and its (independent) developers. Sure would be nice if FOSS developers got to eat for their trouble (rather than going after yachts). Could be something for the EFF or similar minded, legally aware types to have a chew on, or maybe there are pre-existing works that are not as well known as they should be.
MalReynolds@slrpnk.netto Rust@programming.dev•On Tech Debt: My Rust Library is now a CDOEnglish101·1 year agoTIL rust has some sort of ratings for libraries/dependency code. Cool! Is that intrinsic in some way?
Speaking as a C/C++/python (and others) coder if that’s relevant, that’s been looking at Rust for a while…

And also as someone who checks primary sources, curse me for caring, I shall look because I commented…
I didn’t.
WTAF? Today is a bad day.
Generally appropriate response to this sort of thing. Best of luck, consider bringing a boatload of goodwill to the table. I doubt I’m alone…
Simplest way in my experience is distrobox. It will automatically spin up a container (podman or docker depending on your distro) for you with a fresh OS. Go ahead and install whatever without touching your main install, spin one up for each major project and one for scratching around. Instructions only available for Arch or Ubuntu, no problem. One gotcha, make sure they have their own homes, or you’ll get junk in yours…
MalReynolds@slrpnk.netto Programming@programming.dev•As a beginner, how should I go about learning difficult concepts?English3·2 years agoThere is a great similarity between watching the variables in a function and juggling. Psychologists will tell you, ‘you only get seven variables’, but yiu’re a coder, you might have ten to twelve( especially if some are boolean), but it’s finite, so chunk. Interestingly learning to juggle may help, mirror neurons go brrrr., also chess with moves ahead. If it works it’s not stupid, but is it repeatable, testable…

MalReynolds@slrpnk.netto Programming@programming.dev•thrown into a backend project as a backend dev with a language I don't know, how fucked am I?English12·2 years agoDepending on the (API) complexity and speed requirements it might be useful to start by implementing in plain old C. Easy enough to add on class structures later (i.e. transcode to either of those options) if needed. Also consider Rust, as long as you’re going to learn something, it’d be nice if it was current and forward facing.
MalReynolds@slrpnk.netto Risa@startrek.website•None of you will convince me that this wasn't foreshadowing13·2 years agoSpaceX did that, Musk just claims credit.

Very nice, now acti in my rc.
