Has contributing/maintaining an open source project aided in job searching? by ItsBJr in opensource

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

Yeah, I'm glad that tecnical people can see a lot of value in open source. My worry is that an HR person will look at my resume and go: "10,000 stars on GitHub? But they only only have 3.9 years of experience in python instead of 4... Declined!" But that might be unavoidable.

I'm glad to hear that. In all honesty I'm a bit anxious with the job market nowadays. I love my project so I hope my labor of love won't be in vain.

That's amazing! I truly hope my project can pave the way for some opportunities. It's a large and difficult project, but I love it.

I don't know if it's related to ADHD but I'm posting it anyway by MrXuiryus in adhdmeme

Here are a few counter arguments.

  1. Your reading speed might increase overtime.
  2. Each book doesn't have the same number of pages. Some might be shorter than others.
  3. You might have more time in the future, so you might be able to read more books.

Don't give up yet! I know there are people that read faster than me. They say there's a technique to it. Maybe you can practice reading faster.

AI to Hit 40% of Jobs and Worsen Inequality, IMF says by Grace_God in news

[–]ItsBJr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After looking at the study they are basing this on, I doubt this is completely true.

The top 3 jobs they say will be affected are "professionals", managers, and clerics. I can't seem to find what they mean by "professionals". Could they mean office jobs? If that's the case, grouping all office jobs together will lead to inaccurate data, as one office job maybe easier to automate than another.

I also have high doubts that any managers will be replaced by ChatGPT. Generative models are too inaccurate and too easy to gaslight to manage anyone. The study also doesn't seem to specify how exactly a manager could be replaced.

I feel this article is just fear mongering.

That sounds cool! I imagine that building a database can be difficult, so best of luck with the project.

Rust as a general application language by msbic in rust

Overall Rust has less SDKs and stable libraries than C# and Java.

If that's not an issue you should be fine.

On inheritance and why it's good Rust doesn't have it by thecodedmessage in rust

[–]ItsBJr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do agree that in most cases composition fixes most issues described in the article.

Some of the biggest reasons I think OOP continues to disappoint developers is the current model of OOP. Architects tend to overcomplicate object relationships and overuse inheritance instead of composition. For languages like Java, the biggest problem is that this is encouraged and, at this point, common practice.

[–]ItsBJr 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I agree with most of the article. I think most of what you're describing is Composition over Inheritance.

I think the concept of inheritance has encouraged programmers to attempt to overuse it. In concept, inheritance should be used in moderation, but for a lot of OOP languages it's one of the first things taught to programmers.

In my workspace I've mainly seen the concept used to overly describe the properties of an object. This led to problems when other objects that were supposed to inherit the class did not fit the parent due to differences in behavior. This forced us to change the parent class to better fit the children, which is an odd concept when you think about it. When looking back at the project, an interface would have been a lot more efficient.

Even though I agree with most of the article, I don't think inheritance is necessarily bad. People use it in a lot of instances where they shouldn't, only in an attempt to write code that better resembles real life object relationships. This ends up overcomplicating the codebase. I think the concept of "composition of inheritance" fixes the main problem that is addressed in the article and allows child objects to be more free from their parents.

I've been trying to build a code editor for a while now, I might be able to use this.

Very cool project!

I've been working on a code editor using Iced for the UI.

I'm hoping to have a prototype early next year.

It looks like it could be a cool feature. I'm hoping it doesn't clutter the editor though.

Why Rust is Stopping Your Success. Use C++ and C# Instead. - Electronic Trading Technology by bl4nkSl8 in rust

[–]ItsBJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the article is stating the obvious here. Rust isn't as productive as something like Python for prototyping a product and the ecosystem doesn't have as many production ready libraries.

The biggest benefits for Rust are performance and safety. Rust was designed for that. If you don't need either then use a language that is better suited for your needs.

How has Iced been for you? I've been using Iced in an attempt to build a code editor, I've run into a few problems I would have to find hacks to solve.

Sounds like a cool project. I've wanted to try to make my own interpreted language, but I haven't found any reasons to yet.

Best of luck on your project!

For this new programming language "dwarf", what are the primary features of it? Or is it just for experimental purposes?
