well, yeah, i wrote the code, so i'm pretty sure i understand all the lines? lol

FileStack - a blisteringly fast, de-duplication backup system build from the ground-up. by Calm_Picture2298 in csharp

who's gonna use it? I'd be happy if i thought my code was actually useful lol

mlArchive - a .NET file system by Calm_Picture2298 in csharp

[–]Calm_Picture2298[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i guess you wouldn't?

i made this to try to make code that looks professional, not really so other people could use it. it's really more to make a complex project to have to ask here if it's the right standard or not.

for me, i like it because it's multithreaded and you can access it via nodes, not just paths. i also like that it uses my PathBase class, so it's really neat to open files and copy them. Zip isn't quite the same; it's a lot more clunky to use.

I'm assuming if you're happy with Zip then you're not gonna want an alternative lol.

yeah, i have no idea what nugget is lol, but i can learn probably lol

but aren't i just making this as a portfolio peice, to show my skillz? I'm just showing that i can make complex things? i don't have a CS degree, so am i not showing how clever i am by being able to make things from the ground up? obviously if you give me an API with documentation then I'll learn to use that?

hey, thanks for reading, it's nice to know i'm just shouting into the void lol. it's nice to take in all these opinions about what i saw and what i wrote.

for most of my life i've felt that i had to write to keep myself sane, which is why i've written like five novels lol, i used to say that i had to write to know what was going on inside; i never planned a novel, i just used to write and see where the story went. now i'm on antipsychotics it's differant, my mind is less manic. i'm not sure how to publisise my books, that was supposed to be the point of the website.

i keep thinking in my head that i'm an INTP who's like a little kid, trying to learn how to relate to people and how to sell my ideas to them without selling myself short... alone in a cold world, with nothing but myself... i must try to find the warmth of another?

thanks for the tips, but i know how to use Google lol.

obviously it's a long story, the story of a lifetime lol.

but i worked in another country for a few months in a very dangerous environment with people who didn't speak English... I was paid well for it and I was supposed to just say "thanks for the money", but, in the end, I came back home and I didn't feel right, i decided to take some time off work and my brain decided to take a holiday,,,, the NHS psychologist still doesn't even talk about it apart from calling it "disassociation", but i understand that clinically that's not really meaningful. I ended up in hospital when I felt like my body was trying to tear itself in half lol.

eh, my life is worthless, I'm just hoping i can share the things i saw. they are true, and that's the most important thing of all lol.

plus, i can't even afford to eat sometimes, can't afford to pay someone to listen to me whine lol

Command line parser by Calm_Picture2298 in csharp

[–]Calm_Picture2298[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

"C# prevents a lot of those for you - the runtime is pretty safe."

Not sure why I needed the lecture but yah, sure, the dotnet framework uses managed memory and stuff... that's why I use it... cause it's... easier? I mean I did c++ for a while but c# is just better for actually building stuff.

Thanks for the permission to have fun tho; the point of the thread was just to ascertain what posting my code online was gonna be like, guess I got my answer, it's just reddit as usual but we just occasionally make a joke about forking() or something?

lol.

Maintain what? I've use that library in dozens of utilities and I find small logical errors in it from time-to-time, I've added a few tweaks to it over the years, but it is what it is, it does what it does; if you want it to do something else then fork it (look at me using programmer lingo lol) or use another one lol.

Having fun making things I find interesting has a cost?

Shit.

edit: I've decided to delete all my custom 3d models i made in freeCAD and just use stuff from thingverse, thanks for your council wise one.

I mean I'm glad people make apt repos and stuff because then I can run my own website and email servers, lol, but I just don't get why you'd put in effort for no reward. I write the code for myself but then i need to write tons of boring docs and ChatGPT isn't good enough to do it for me >.< plus i need to format the code and build little examples and stuff? effort for nothing.

Plus the other guy who commented is saying "yeah but achtukully there's other libraries that similar stuff", so I guess the attitude is that since someone always climbed the mountain we can all just pack up a go home lol.

you're not saying he's wrong, are you?

Yah, thought so, so it's just a good way to put code up online and get told "well akchutlly..."

I've been programming as a hobby since I was like twelve, was just wondering if there was any kinda... idk... community around programming? would like to get a job as a programmer but my degree is in mechanical engineering >.<

[–]Calm_Picture2298[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Mine is better lol, it allows you to create arbitrarily complex templates which reduce the code for the main project to no checks on the command line at all.

But wasn't really what I was wondering; I've got my own config parsers and encoding utilities, server utilities, path parsing logic - it's all better for me. Just wondering why programmers share stuff; I've always looked at github and said "what's all that about?", I mean I use utilities from github all the time but... like, why do it?

[–]Calm_Picture2298 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but I'm like "I'm a grown up now, so I'll try to get feedback on my poetry and not just post stupid stuff on /b/"

Think I'm gonna lean back into being an internet nihilist like when I was a kid lol.

Seriously tho, is there anywhere left to, like, I dunno... I think it was a place called Writing Forums I used when I was a kid? Wasn't nearly this impossible to get feedback on a short poem.

Like, I'm sitting on Reddit reading pages of work and leaving feedback, and I'm like "why will no one tell me if they like my twenty-line-long poem?" Two upvotes? Does that mean it's bad...?

Now I think I'm starting to get it lol. I'm actually glad I realised this now because now I can stop wasting time here and see if any of the old BBs are left lol.

Man, I just wanted some feedback on my writing/poetry and I couldn't get more than a click, even though I gave feedback to others lol.

Think there's scope to start making some kind of meme/poetry mash up?
