  • I Gave Up on Windows 11. Linux Mint Is Simply Better in 7 Big Ways (PCMAG)

    Jump

  • I have used every Linux distribution for the past 20 years. I stayed with Linux Mint because it's up to date, pretty but simple, and reminds of Windows 98/2000, i.e. no fluff.

    A good reminder that most versions of Linux now have a live ISO version that doesn't require you to install it and destroy your computer in the process.

  • Got a framework. Migrated all my data over using rustic.

    Jump

  • Stupid question but what were the source and destination Linux distributions?

  • Self-hosted alternative to Rewardful/FirstPromoter (no data sharing, no subscriptions)

  • Here is some advice from an old fart: if you reach v1.0 with ONLY one merge request, something is deeply wrong with your development process.

    Also, you don't push to main, ever.

  • Drunk answer:

    My normal job has never been programming

    Keep telling yourself that, you're a coder now.

    Ive always wanted to be able to do coding.

    That's the spirit!

    take excel macro calcul

    Excel macros are pretty much universal because they are also available on LibreOffice and other tools. IMHO the whole point of programming is to get knowledge that is not too specific to one operating system or tool. Get all the macros, and document them in a simple text (Markdown) file that you can use in the near future.

    As for Mendix, I have never heard about it, but if that's your new life, read everything about https://docs.mendix.com/ and try to control all the steps in the process: Excel macros => textual representation => Mendix API.

    I don't know if I am making myself clear, but the whole point of programming is to control every step from the beginning to the end. Like:

    1. I understand the Excel macros and I can describe them in plain English
    2. I can translate this English representation to another language (Mendix API in your case)

    how can I help out on this project

    Most people keep the information to themselves and never share it. You can help by writing some kind of documentation/wiki/API that is available to everyone else, and by being a reference on how to switch from point A (Excel macro) to point B (Mendix API) while keeping a trace of how everything works from A to B.

    If you need more information, keep asking, that's how you learn.

  • Are you experiencing any shortages where you live?

  • France: nothing here. Gas prices have increased by 30 cents, but it's kind of expected and I try not to use the car whenever I can so it's still fine.

  • the impact of superhuman AI over the next decade will be enormous

    By destroying lives with slop I guess.

    Research agents spend half an hour scouring the Internet to answer your question.

    So slow? What a waste of time.

    It seems to be an ad anyway. Is it trained on stolen OSS and torrents?

  • You're talking about lunatics while mentioning slop at the same time, it's incompatible IMHO.

    MCP? I thought that this thing died a few months ago.

    I wonder how far this technology will go.

    It's technically a pattern recognition program that was never meant to generate text. It can't go any further unless you change the whole thing.

  • Thoughts on Replit?

  • There are no pros since they wrecked a database. You should instantly find anything else.

  • Looking for good software architecture resources!

  • Amazing, thanks.

    Edit: I never knew that InfoQ was a good resource. That's a nice additional link.

  • Looking for good software architecture resources!

    Jump

  • There are a whole bunch of architecture books published by Oreilly that I have bought and plan to read. They were available for a few bucks in a previous Humble Bundle, and cover the topics:

    • Head First Software Architecture
    • Fundamentals of Software Architecture
    • Flow architectures
    • Domain-driven Design
    • Micro-services
    • Agile stuff
    • Scalable Systems
    • API Management
    • etc.

    All are available on Anna's Archive. I like the Head First book to have an overview of architecture.

  • Is the www using a good information mgmt strategy?

  • I don't understand either. Troll or therapy, choose one.

  • No Microslop for me

  • 99% companies have been using Windows for the past 30 years. I would gladly accept any job using Windows, even more if they paid well. I hate Windows way more than everyone else, but being unemployed is worse nowadays.

  • Which plan do you have? Is the Pro version better with "Email to note"?

    Curious because I used that in the past but stopped I don't remember why.
