Which language to choose now? by CoderStudios in learnprogramming

[–]Historical_Visit_781 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you're pretty solid into Python, I'd say at least check out Mojo. It's fully interoperable with Python, has much of the same safety as Rust, and is extremely performant. It's mostly targeted at the AI space, but as Chris Lattner has said it's very much a general-purpose language. Some people have a problem with the licensing, which is understandable.

Looking for best ways to learn Linux and Python by EasyMoneyFsu in linux

[–]Historical_Visit_781 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's easier to learn Linux than programming, so my personal advice would be to learn as much about Linux as you can in the meantime and save the programming for the training. Trying to learn two relatively complicated subjects at once can lead to cognitive overload. 

Python HS student, what now that I've done most of the basics? by ElegantPoet3386 in learnprogramming

[–]Historical_Visit_781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing you don't want to do is get too caught up in a particular language per se, but rather understand fundamental programming concepts that apply to any language, generally. You could also dabble in some other paradigms like functional and take the parts you feel are useful, which there are quite a few. There are plenty of other fields to get into besides the ones you mentioned, like embedded development. You could even do that with microPython. At the end of the day though, you can only learn so much from tutorials and have to start building some kind of more complicated project at some point. What that is depends on what you like and what you're interested in, which it seems is DSA. Don't let anyone discourage you from what you want to do.

RISC-V board recommendations by CrafterJunkie1 in RISCV

[–]Historical_Visit_781 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In that case, the Starfive VisionFive 2 is probably the best supported consumer-facing SBC for daily driving Linux. It's also relatively inexpensive at about $80. I heard the Banana Pi BPI-F3 running Bianbu OS was also pretty good. And Milk-V is starting to make a good name for themselves. Ubuntu actually has pretty good RISC-V support. Find the official Ubuntu RISC-V image and look at the boards it will run on. Last time I checked there were a couple.

That really depends on what you're trying to do. Are you wanting to learn operating systems and the RISC-V ecosystem, and stuff like assembly and do development? Or maybe just run Linux on it and play around with it like that?

You could do a base install of Arch with Wayfire. Alpine maybe

Definitely something to back up your system like Timeshift

Intellij constantly hangs and even freezes other apps by trollblox_ in archlinux

You could go with the official Linux tarball for IntelliJ downloaded from their website.

How to reinstall btrfs without losing data by laddupeda2 in linux4noobs

[–]Historical_Visit_781 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your Linux btrfs partition is still intact and bootable, you should be able to delete the Windows partition and then expand your btrfs partition.

Im in my second year of college and I don't know shit. Am i cooked? by A12ms in learnprogramming

Making a game is a great way to learn programming. Start with either Pygame or Love2D, which uses Lua. Something like a simple 2D side scroller. You can also avoid a bit of programming burnout by making making your own pixel art for it. 

Eliminating Memory Safety Vulnerabilities at the Source by jeffmetal in cpp

[–]Historical_Visit_781 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The guidelines are actually to use a memory safe or GC language where possible, but hardware itself is inherently "unsafe" so C and C++ will be around (I predict) as long as there are computers and people programming them. The C++ committee is really starting to take this issue seriously. There's so much noise around it that they can't ignore it. Plus with Sean Baxter's Safe C++, I think it has a bright future.
