This rings true for me. I did my undergraduate in commercial music as a piano player which required me to take 2 years of performance practicum with piano performance majors. They were leagues better than me and I knew it, but we all had to

I’m not sure how you can have an absolutely “no code” experience for developing UI but QT creator does have a drag and drop experience for constructing UI that is… okay. You can set up your signals and slots directly in the GUI and it will

Programming Throwdown is a pretty good podcast Ive been listening to it for a few years. The first 20 or so episodes, they had a segment that focused on a specific programming language, the history, application and quirks which was a fun wa

I’m currently in the phase of trying to figure out DF. Many hours of tinkering and reading has led me to digging tunnels and deep underground but I just get stuck trying to assign jobs and set up rooms and burrows. It’s very difficult. I WI

I love that this exists. Time to time I crave playing some of my childhood games that are OS9 based and setting up sheepshaver is a pain. This will help me to get my kicks playing some old games for the few minutes I intend to play them :)

I don’t think it’s arrogant to be concerned about such a tool especially considering that other peoples livelihood also depend on such important tools like react. It’s possible to be concerned about the people developing a tool AND the tool

I’m also confused by this article. Perhaps this is more applicable to companies that develop software that is very tightly coupled with the web and cloud services. I work in the embedded industry and from my understanding (as naive as it ma

Just curious, is there a strong need out there for alternative web browsers? It’s seems like there are a lot of choices already to Chrome and Firefox: eg Opera, Brave. What’s the goal of yet another web browser?

Another great tool for cross arch development is qemu-static-user. It allows you to run your nonnative architecture docker images on host using a qemu container for translation and only requires about one command to get working. It’s life s

I love the concept of this app. Since I’m a very social person and tend to be the opposite of a wallflower during meetings, I’m constantly asking myself “having I been talking too long” or “am I dominating this discussion” and I feel very i

It’s a very easy and well documented free engine. If you have used and like python, you can learn the ropes quickly. But as OP mentioned there are drawbacks to the loose type system. But I would encourage anyone looking to make their first

>However I'm starting to think that scripting languages are a false economy. There is no intrinsic reason you can't have a concise and easy to use language that can be quickly (in debug mode) compiled to the metal and dynamical

Amazing how powerful the concept of building a game is in teaching someone to program. The combination of graphics and learning some technical chops helps the user really get seasoned quickly in any language while also giving them something

NF is not so much nerds in the sense like here in hacker news. Mainly geek culture with comic book fans, movies, books, myths and rpg larp culture. It’s mainly a community where people who are inspired by stories of pop culture get together

I've felted wowed in theory by Rust but every time I come to it, I'm constantly getting stuck by how much the compiler gets in my way. On one hand, the idea that the compiler is your friend that stops you from making dumb memory d
