That’s strange. Please let me know what you find out.

This is a great idea, thank you!

I had issues searching for Lemmy communities until I updated my docker-compose to give the “lemmy” container it’s own network.

I think we may be talking about two different things with regards to corporate control. I’m saying that, in the case with Redhat specifically, that their injection of a fee to access the source code now no longer makes the code freely available to downstream repositories. If they comically charged a billion dollars to access the source code (with a GPL) it would practically become closed source, so I’m curious why any entity can charge any amount to access open source software. And if it’s totally legal with this type of license, doesn’t that mean that we should be avoiding GPL at all costs?

Correct me if I’m mistaken. What I read from your post sounds to me like you think that we should accept that a company will inject a revenue stream into the process that we all were working on as an open source project. We weren’t expecting to get paid, so why not allow the company to get paid, regardless of the downstream impacts for other projects that once relied on the project being completely free and open. Do I understand that properly? I don’t want to misrepresent your intent. I feel like I must be misunderstanding something.

It looks like Pinetime lets you customize the watch face with Rust, but is it touchscreen? Am I right in seeing that it only runs the update logic once every minute?

My first programming language was QBasic, then Visual Basic, then Java, then C# (most experience with), then C++, then Python, and now Rust. Only when I learned C++ in college did I truly grasp the power of memory management. I think it’s important for new programmers to have some understanding of and experience with pointers, but it doesn’t need to be your first language. I think it’s okay to start with Python or C#, but you’ll want to go back and learn the hard stuff at some point (C++ and then Rust). Python will be super easy to learn the basics (data structures, algorithms, etc.). C# is also a good choice, but has you learning a few more things at the same time you’re trying to learn the basics.

They share a genealogy, but as programs are created and maintained in different languages, developers come to wish for different syntaxes that would (1) reduce how much code must be written to accomplish a common logical task, (2) make the code that’s written easier to read/understand, (3) reduce concerns about variable types until runtime, and/or (4) overly restrict not just the variable types but also if/when variables can be modified. This list is not exhaustive.

There is a partial programming language family tree here, showing which languages influenced other languages: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Genealogy-of-Programming-Languages_fig36_260447599

Maybe that’s what I should do. I’ve just recently moved back to VS Code from Neovim due to my constant issues with the LSP I was using. I would open a file, make some changes, and then return to the file tree along with a bunch of LSP warnings (as if the file tree was a file). LazyVim sounds like exactly what I want, if the name is accurate.

What’s your setup? How do you aggregate different feeds to one page? Where do you find the feeds? I have so many RSS questions - everyone who uses it loves it and I want to understand it.

I had to work out all of the issues myself to get it working on my RaspberryPi 4. For this error, did you add a network to your “lemmy” container that would allow it access to the internet?

I’m still using 0.17.3, btw. I haven’t checked if 0.17.4 for arm64 is out yet.

As a backend developer you’re not doing anything with “looks”. No interface design, HTML CSS, or anything like that.

The most common backend work involves the following:

• ETL process creation
• proprietary API maintenance
• third-party API integration
• Database data manipulation

I enjoy it. It feels like I’m designing special wires that connect different computers together. It can be repetitive if you’re not designing your code to be extendable. If you’re writing the ideal code, you’re always writing new stuff. If you’re just copy-pasting from other examples, that should indicate that there is a general solution that’s being ignored.
