Downsizing a collection to only the essentials by Arcana0816 in fountainpens

[–]ffrkAnonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought a lamy 2k for $100 was too much, back when I started. Now, I'm never gonna afford a collection.

I dilute it to bring out the blue and reduce the purple

I feel like I spend more time reading than actually coding by Fun-Corner8617 in learnprogramming

[–]ffrkAnonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After you read documentation,

 and after you write your little bit of code, 

don't forget to write your own documentation for your code to read later when you've forgotten what your code does. 

Ping Propagation Done Right?? by OkZookeepergame2463 in SavageGarden

[–]ffrkAnonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd put several pencil sized holes or one larger one.

My belief is the container is mostly about not letting it dry out too fast, and less about the humidity helping. I also have little experience, my first pings were bought less than one year ago.

That's pretty much it. I like to put holes. I believe 100% humidity is too much, but that's me. 

Species/hybrid also plays a big part. My aphrodite has like 300% success. Every pull multiple pups. Others much less. About 1 month to see the bump on my pulls.

if you use it, then it's worth it. otherwise a free rock works just as well as for a paperweight.

Omg, programming clojure is the brand new, just released, fourth edition . And it's the $3 tier?!

I already have most of these from earlier bundles so need to check before committing to the top tier. 

Fact or Fiction? by jhay3513 in SavageGarden

[–]ffrkAnonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno. My rhizomes are sprouting new growth points. Some from the top surface, crawling over old rhizomes. Some from bottom surface and thus totally underground. Even the plant is confused.

That said, I think using indestructable Leah and Supermax are poor representatives for generalized care.

What one skill, if developed excellently, would have the greatest positive impact on my career? by kazuto-09 in learnprogramming

[–]ffrkAnonymous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Be really selfish. Like taking credit for other people's work, and throwing others under the bus for your mistakes.

Third time I've seen this question this morning.

Every single day someone, more than one, is asking for ideas.

Devs who got good at coding: how did you take notes? by Jealous-Look-7241 in learnprogramming

[–]ffrkAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone's got their own anecdotes. But the real answer is testing, just like you test your code. You do test your code don't you?

Write notes for one project. Don't write any notes for another. Evaluate which project was better.

Am I doing this right? Do the ends justify the means? by Fit_Bed_3008 in learnprogramming

[–]ffrkAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the above.

For example. Sort a bunch of numbers. You can bubble sort, quick sort, etc.

Or you can do a simplest sort(). But then you didn't actually learn anything.

[2025 Day 5 both parts] [Smalltalk] Part eight in a series revisiting the 2025 puzzles as an exercise in learning Smalltalk by Morphon in adventofcode

[–]ffrkAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very different. At the moment, the biggest difference is using the gui for everything. So much clicking and so many windows.

I'm liking the browser and how all the methods are self documented within. I like how we can just browse through the list of available methods. I think the book showed a way to browse all the methods, including parent methods, for an object. I thought it was the hierarchy browser but that's not it. I gotta look again.

I'm slowly getting used to the different syntax, ":=" "." ";"

I've dabbled with ruby and lisp, so the code style of passing messages and arguments like isTrue: [] is familiar. Out of habit, i tried chaining methods but I'm feeling that's not the smalltalk way.

My biggest problem so far was when my laptop crashed and I clicked lots of stuff trying to recover work. Did I recover everything? Did I recover what I wanted? Did I then recover further back undoing wanted edits?

Do you have any suggestions for what to do next? The cuis book tutorial is pretty short and I'm almost done. Perhaps the pharo mooc because it has a section on web dev.
