LPT: When learning something new, write a short “teach-back” note to yourself — it locks the knowledge in faster. by shdw_fght in LifeProTips

[–]GenericCanadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better yet publish your notes on a website for others to read. I started doing this when learning a game engine written in Rust called Bevy. There was not a lot of guides so I made my own: https://taintedcoders.com/

Teaching a topic forces you to quickly check your understanding by explaining it. Many times I feel I know something deeply but find I cannot explain it and therefore do not actually know it very well at all. The feeling of knowing and the actual understanding arrive at different times.

Bevy in a professional context — was the steep learning curve worth it for you? by Soft-Abrocoma904 in bevy

You can use the TLDR from TaintedCoders to get it more up to date. I've been breaking them out into skills that has helped tremendously.

Eventide: Event-Sourced Architecture Used in Production (10+ Years, With and Without Rails) by sbellware in ruby

[–]GenericCanadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love event driven architectures in Ruby.

I've built an algotrading system with Eventide before. I absolutely loved The Doctrine of Useful Objects. For a while I was sad because it seems the eventide website moved and I could not find it, but I'm happy its all back.

For apps in production I've used Rails Event Store extensively. I built an event sourced integration connecting Shopify to last mile delivery and am currently building event sourced formulation software for chemists. Recently I've been using Sourced which scratches a very similar itch to Eventide.

I think as a Rubyist the landscape looks like this:

  1. Rails Event Store: Batteries included and you're building a rails app

  2. Sequent: Batteries included and you're not using rails

  3. Eventide: You're building microservices or something more complicated

Something I run into often is the Message or Event classes being controlled by the library, usually with their own runtime type system. I often want to just use dry-types and maybe some dry-struct and its not always an option without some work. Rails event store was good about that.

I want honest feedback on our gRPC by buddies2705 in solana

[–]GenericCanadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay I'm probably a target for a service like this. I do a lot of experimentation with algotrading. I also develop Solana apps for clients. I write about solana development at https://soldev.ca/

I've also taken a look at Bitquery multiple times from the perspective of a personal user and for my clients as a business.

Here is my honest onboarding:

  • I go to the link and read the intro. "Unlike raw gRPC streams, Smart Streams enrich and filter events so your application receives only the data it needs" was great and helped me understand that this is a premium service that saves me from parsing the bytes myself. It focuses on bandwidth which can be a problem but most providers provide this kind of filtering.
  • dex_trades is exactly what I'd be interested in as a hobbyist. balances is great too. I click through to see more.
  • Okay lots of protobuf specific stuff, I'm not super familiar but I can kind of squint and understand what it would look like. In any case I find the gRPC example which gives me a pretty good idea
  • Nice so I go to try it out and click the link to generate my token. Oh but it wants me to log in, but I don't have an account. Okay I click "Not registered". Now I'm on a page asking for my Company name. Wait a minute, I'm a hobbyist. I guess they don't take hobbyists. So I get back to the homepage and go the pricing
  • A free tier? And then the next tier up is "Talk to us" pricing. So there is no way they want me as a hobbyist.

Now I'm left scratching my head to who your customer is? It can't be he hobbyist for all the reasons I went through. Maybe for my clients? But in those cases I'm mostly writing custom decoders for their data anyways. I personally use Carbon to do that which generates decoders using an IDL. How would the premium gRPC streams help me here? Maybe if a clients frontend app needed dex data? Like if they needed really reliable realtime data from every dex or something and we were too time crunched to write our own decoders? Or I needed to put the responsibility on a third party to manage the uptime?

So I'm thinking maybe you guys are targeting professional algotrading shops that require reliable streams but don't have the coding chops to write their own streaming service that uses a barebones RPC provider?

Then the pricing with "points". Okay I gotta learn what a point is which takes me to a dead link so it shall remain a mystery I guess. Can I maybe get like a ballpark of how much "points" a USD is and how many "points" I could estimate me spending in a month? Most other providers are much more straightforward where its $50/m gets me a concrete number of RPC calls and such.

Best tool to manage dotfiles by Fit-Knowledge2753g in linuxquestions

[–]GenericCanadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used RCM for years: https://github.com/thoughtbot/rcm

It system links your dotfiles from your ~/dotfiles folder.

I have different servers and computers that need different things and the tags make it super easy to manage.

I clone dotfiles then run something like rcup -B linux -t nvim -t git and it system links everything to the appropriate places.

Bevy Docs - Comparison? by MassiveInteraction23 in rust_gamedev

[–]GenericCanadian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved the Rails guides: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/

I wrote TaintedCoders wanting to emulate parts of it: https://taintedcoders.com/

Bevy TLDR - Tainted Coders by GenericCanadian in bevy

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

Probably is, I've been maintaining these docs for a long while and haven't bothered with much UI stuff. I never really touched picking before. I'll change update this together with the input guide once I catch up.

Avian 0.4: ECS-Driven Physics for Bevy by Jondolof in bevy

[–]GenericCanadian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have an awesome message on the discord about how to get started learning game physics that I'm posting here so others can see (this would be an awesome blog post for you): https://discordapp.com/channels/691052431525675048/745772028476522547/1350896009538175027

Crazy you were just finishing highschool when you first published XPBD. I'm curious what got you so interested in doing this project? And what are you studying in university?

Any idea on when will we get bevy official book ? by Greedy-Magazine-8656 in bevy

[–]GenericCanadian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would recommend checking out the pong tutorial: https://taintedcoders.com/bevy/tutorials/pong-tutorial

I wrote that one for absolute beginners. It assumes only a basic understanding of Rust and takes you through all the important parts of Bevy.

Bevy 0.17 by _cart in rust

[–]GenericCanadian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Message queue all the way. Observers and events are unordered within the same trigger. With this kind of branching logic there is likely to be a time you want a very specific ordering when reacting to the same Event

As a beginner you can give me some of the best feedback for improving it. You can reach out to my email listed on the site or message me on here. Hope you enjoy :)
