  • What is really meant by "programming" when people say they like to use linux for it?

    Jump

  • That's the most difficult problem in hobby programming: finding a project. Most interesting things seem to complex to start.

    The solution is to say f it I'm going to try. Right now I'm very slowly making progress learning Rust by writing a program to trade cryptocurrency. It took a while for me to even take my goals seriously as something I am capable of. It's half gambling and half skills development but 100% interesting enough that I have consistently come back to it. I've come to terms with the fact that the only money it will make me is if I get a better job by becoming a rust developer.

    The Linux side of programming only really comes into play when you want to do networking, drivers, or esoteric filesystem intensive stuff. Windows and MacOS are capable of basically the same things. The main benefit of using Linux for development is that most open source projects are built by developers for development on Linux based systems, so getting dependencies has an easy one line command someone already figured out. For your situation I suspect the most important thing is how cool it feels when you use it. There's something about setting up an operating system the way you want that keeps me coming back for more.

  • People are worried about losing skills to AI while all the skills have already been lost to Google and stack exchange 😅

  • 🤣 same

  • The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source.

    Jump

  • To try and contribute! :P gotta start somewhere

  • I'm guilty of not reading the f..ing documentation

    Jump

  • Lol reading the source has trained me to try reading the documentation.

    If it's good, it'll save hours or crawling through code.

  • The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source.

    Jump

  • has, they still work great and keep me sane

    MSYS2 is my current choice for GNU/Windows

  • The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source.

  • Unfortunately building it was a disaster a few years ago, I should give it another go.

  • The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source.

  • I am legit excited to install WINE Subsystem for Linux

    Or how about KDE on ReactOS on WSL?

    The possibilities are endless

  • The effect of physical fitness on mortality is overestimated

    Jump

  • So, stay fit so you don't die of random accidents. Got it.

  • Stack advice

  • Egui seems great to me so far, not super experienced with it yet though. I think you can get away with very little js using egui for rendering.

  • Donald Trump demands investigations into negative approval rating polls

  • Ah mirroring Wikipedia has been on my to-do list for too long, time to buy some storage.

  • Ya and taking off the serial number doesn't really matter when it's less than 10 😅

  • Linux Swap Explained: Do You Need It?

    Jump

  • My experience is that without swap my system will eventually lock up, without a clear sign of why. This was especially true when disabling memory overcommit, but I blame applications for that one.

    Who knows maybe my ram is failing.

  • AI isn’t ready to replace human coders for debugging, researchers say

    Jump

  • I wouldn't trust current models to do any real work. Aaand I think humans will be cheaper than LLMs for a long time to come. Ultimately all costs are labor and if you need to give the power plant people (running the plant, mining the fuel, building the plant) sandwiches to get them to provide power for your llm, you're probably better off giving a human programmer sandwiches instead.

    The ai bubble pops when investors decide they want dividends instead of speculative gains.

  • What were you surprised to learn wasn't actually normal?

    Jump

  • Lmao this was the first thought that came into my mind after reading the post 😅
