Same, I'd prefer to see this from programming.dev. Subbed anyways, because aside from changing my wallpaper I left my PC at a totally default look and would like to pressure myself to change it by following this community.
I figure this community could benefit from an ad in the many Linux communities on Lemmy.
I am all for pointing out conflicts of interest, but I bought an SSD external hard drive from Seagate, and just looking up "Seagate SSD" will take you to a bunch of Seagate SSD products. Is there something I'm missing here?
Might be worth telling the various datahoarder communities on Lemmy
would probably be welcome in [email protected]
taking apps meant for one thing and using them for something else is my favorite thing
even if this is still very related because it's physical activity timing
We also have [email protected]!
OP has a very appropriate username for posting software gore. I guess I kind of do too.
Made me curious if Torvalds at least got some reward for his work besides gratitude from people who use his stuff. I'm not sure how credible internet estimates of net worth are but looking up "Linus Torvalds net worth" keeps showing me stuff from $50–$150 million so hey, at least he's (probably) comfortable. Not exactly Tony Stark superhero territory but if he wasn't rich enough to sit at home and sleep for the rest of his life if he wanted to I'd probably be upset on his behalf for a bit, before I moved onto the next outrage of the day. Glad to see he's well-off.
Also doing something pretty similar to OP and do not anticipate needing any more than 4TB for awhile, first I have seen of external drives being approved. (Only own laptops, very intimidated by all this SATA stuff right now—am new and every time I try to learn more on r/datahoarders I feel slammed by information overload.)
don't post pictures of my face online, that's rude >:(
In all seriousness I wonder why I always realize I could have explained myself better/left something out/omg formatting error better fix it/holy shit typo after the initial commit, and have like 4 different ones (or a bunch of rebases in an effort to keep the repo clean of this crap) fixing it, instead of pushing just a correct and complete readme from the beginning.
This is also why most of my Lemmy comments have edits. Not some weird sketchy crap editing things in to make others look bad or totally change my point after getting refuted, but just… oops typo or I could reword that to be more understandable or I meant to say this and totally forgot about it.
AI thrives in clarity but struggles in ambiguity.
Oof, I guess I'm an AI. As a human who's not very creative at all your article bodes very poorly for my future in programming. Thanks for your transparency in telling us you are linking to your own blog.
Every time I see one of these I remind myself to check back when you are on day one again, and forget. All those "crossposts" to linuxupskillchallenge remind me how many iterations this has gone through and I still have not started. Thanks for posting anyways!
Am local village idiot curious as to why this would be controversial.
First guess: advising change from familiar workflow
Second guess: gotta download a lot of these
Seeing "Etude" out of a musical context feels so wild to me. That book grabbed my attention just because of that.
Hey, I was going to read that person's recommendations anyways, but thanks for the explanation of why each one matters :)
Whoever made this graphic, it looks pretty attractive just on sheer visuals, props to you
Luckily I have not met any programmer like that yet, let's keep our fingers crossed.
I'm willing to believe the bar to pass to be a successful programmer requires a certain level of problem-solving skill and intelligence; but that doesn't mean no other profession has smart people. I'd imagine lots of other professions have a similar bar to pass, and even ones with lower bars to pass to succeed in that profession probably still have their prodigies and geniuses.
I know that this is an unpopular opinion among programmers but all professions have roles that range from small skills sets and little cognitive abilities to large skill sets and high level cognitive abilities.
I am kind of surprised that is an unpopular opinion. I figure there is a reason we compensate people for jobs. Pay people to do stuff you cannot, or do not have the time to do, yourself. And for almost every job there is probably something that is way harder than it looks from the outside. I am not the most worldly of people but I've figured that out by just trying different skills and existing.
I really wish this existed for other languages. Python is really Not It for me. Maybe this book will change my mind. I have heard about it a lot. Either way, thanks for the rec!
Programming book recommendations?
A bit different from the audiobook request 2 years ago, as I'm not looking for audiobooks (so it does not have to be nice to listen to, I can see code examples) but regular books you read. Let me know which books helped you out the most, or that you just found fun to read!
EDIT: Thank you to everyone for helping me inflate my reading list! I was wondering what question I should ask to get answers including books on databases, cybersecurity, basically any topic that might fall under "computer science" and not just programming. In hindsight I maybe should have posted somewhere other than Programming and said something other than "Programming book recommendations" if I wanted that, but since I am also interested in programming and software engineering all these books will definitely be eaten soon. Thank you!
Oh, and [email protected] for programming books exists but is sadly not getting much attention.
Got that on Programmer Humor last year! Finding that kind of unintentional message is always funny
My heart breaks for cool ideas that got taken by scammers and are now forever associated with financial predators and will probably never see legitimate use.

10 things that block your Happiness
- Self-hatred
- Not being able to let go of the past.
- Not being able to forgive yourself.
- Not being able to value who you are.
- Assuming RAID is backup.
- Not making backups.
- Not verifying backups and finding out restore time.
- Needing other people to validate you.
- Letting other people define who you are.
- Trying to be perfect and to please everyone.
Where do you suggest newbies begin?
I did try to read the sidebar resources on https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/. They're pretty overwhelming, and seem aimed at people who come in knowing all the terminology already. Is there somewhere you suggest newbies start to learn all this stuff in the first place other than those sidebar resources, or should I just suck it up and truck through the sidebar?
EDIT: At the very least, my goal is to have a 3-2-1 backup of important family photos/videos and documents, as well as my own personal documents that I deem important. I will be adding files to this system at least every 3 months that I would like incorporated into the backup. I would like to validate that everything copied over and that the files are the same when I do that, and that nothing has gotten corrupted. I want to back things up from both a Mac and a Windows (which will become a Linux soon, but I want to back up my files on the Windows machine before I try to switch to Linux in case I bungle it), if that has any i
What is your favorite Intro to Linux guide?
Local dummy here (slightly more technical than the average user, likely far less than most people in this community) considering switching over. Checked the sidebar for any beginner's resources and looked at a few of the top posts and saw mostly Linux news and stuff meant for people already using the OS.
For my specific case, I use a Mac as my daily driver and (heresy) I am happy, but I also have a Windows computer that I am thinking of switching over to Linux. I use it to play games my Mac can't, and to run [email protected] (I do not run the community but the thing the community is about) and/or Folding at Home whenever I'm not using it to game. Some of them are Steam games, some indies not on Steam, some emulated. Little to no multiplayer games, and absolutely no multiplayer that has anticheat. I have tried running some of the Windows-exclusive games with WINE and they worked but ran extremely slowly, however that was done on my Mac so it may not rep
What are some easy-to-solve errors you spent awhile fixing?
I just spent an hour searching for how I could have gotten an
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set properties of null
javascript. I checked the spelling of the element whose property I was trying to set and knew that element wasn't null because the spelling was the same in the code as in the HTML. I also knew my element was loading, so it wasn't that either.
Turns out no, the element was null. I was trying to set " NameHere" when the element's actual name was "NameHere".
Off by a single space. No wonder I thought the spelling was the same—because all the non-whitespace was identical. (No, the quotation marks slanting in the second NameHere and being totally vertical in the first NameHere wasn't a part of the error, I am typing them all vertical and either Lemmy or my instance is "correcting" them to slanted for the second NameHere. But that is also another tricky-to-spot text difference to watch out for!)
And what did not help is that everywhere I specifically typed things out, I
How to go from writing code that works to writing efficient, clean code and following good practices?
Besides some of the very, very obvious (don't copy/paste 100 lines of code, make it a function! Write comments for your future self who has forgotten this codebase 3 years from now!), I'm not sure how to write clean, efficient code that follows good practices.
In other words, I'm always privating my repos because I'm not sure if I'm doing some horrible beginner inefficiency/bad practice where I should be embarrassed for having written it, let alone for letting other people see it. Aside from https://refactoring.guru/, where should I be learning and what should I be learning?
Thanks for keeping the instance programming-focused :)
I like browsing Local here because of that.
