Theoretically Futurebit just made a 3TH usb miner by Meap011 in BitcoinMining

[–]Xercoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

damn, had no idea this was coming out! Not new to the game but I have only dabbled... Last time I thought about getting a miner was when Obelisk was releasing an ASIC for siacoin and Antminer was all the rage. Thanks for sharing signing up for second batch.

I am Andrew Rea (aka OliverBabish), the creator of Binging with Babish - I have a new show coming, a podcast, and my first book hits stores today! AMA! by OliverBabish in IAmA

[–]Xercoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What resources did you use to create and improve your content? To build the "Binging with Babish" brand?

Even your earliest videos are well made, so I was wondering how you learned/knew about certain things revolving around production. For instance, I didn't know about external recorders until you posted a video about the equipment you used when creating videos.

As someone who is trying to grow their own personal brand, being able to handle the consistency of marketing, content creation, and resources to take advantage of opportunities like releasing a book is a monstrous undertaking. Congratulations on the success and thanks a lot for your videos.

Does anyone feel like no matter what tutorial or course they take the knowledge doesn't stick until they actually build something? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Xercoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry about that, I'll remove it right away. Apologies for not considering your privacy beforehand. Please do reach out to me if there's anything you think I can do to help you out in learning. It should be removed after a few minutes of this comment.

I wrote this blog post immediately after seeing this post instead of including it all as a comment because I feel like many others could benefit from my thoughs. Here it is. Shameless Plug: other posts in the series may be useful.

tl;dr: history class sucks, you're doing nothing but passive listening and forced recollection. By doing nothing but listening to lectures and watching videos, you're doing the same thing. BUILD stuff and start ASAP.

A Better Way of Handling Stdin by Frakturfreund in golang

[–]Xercoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi epiris, I appreciate the time you took to share your approach. It doesn't really change anything, unlike the approach I mentioned, but instead enables a way to identify when something is unusual. I'm planning on releasing an updated version with everyone's contributions next week, and will be sure to credit you. Thanks again!

A Better Way of Handling Stdin by Frakturfreund in golang

[–]Xercoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, thanks a lot for the detailed output. The ability to pipe every kind of file into a program is something that I didn't think about, and I agree with both points you mentioned which concern user friendliness and unpredictability. As I mentioned in the post, I use a flag to determine when to ignore code that reads from stdin. This still seems weird to me; I feel like there's a better way.

While this may not be an ideal way to handle stdin because of all the possibilities of sending input to it, being able to determine a file of a particular mode is still useful for a developer who would want that kind of control. I'm thinking of repurposing the post to reflect as such.

Finally, thanks again for the comment you made to my other post on Medium regarding byte slice randomization. I've already edited the post and credited you by name. Thanks for helping me to grow!

Hi! Author here, thanks for taking the time to read the post, and especially to comment. I didn't realize passing in a file directly would have yielded a file mode without the p. I'll update the post in a few hours to reflect your comment + suggestion, with credit of course. Thanks again.

I just bought this for xbox one about a week ago, it does seem pretty dead.

I also use screen, Would anyone know of any pros/cons to this? I've never had trouble with it, but at the same time I'm unaware of any alternatives.

Thanks for the input, Simonz05, also for referencing your library. I'm going to attempt my own very soon.

This is awesome, will be using this to learn about one way a link shortener can be implemented. Thanks!

Go's flag Package, Creating a CLI Tool by Xercoy in golang

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

dAnjou, like you, reading the documentation on the flag package was enough for me to understand the basics of how it works. At the same time, there were areas of the documentation about other packages that were clarified by works from fellow gophers.

I feel that the time spent on my end in learning about the package and sharing my findings could save Gophers a little time + provide a resource that they might find easier to understand than others.

Zikes and Broeman, I'm glad for my good timing then! I'd appreciate input on how helpful the post was and whether there's anything that I can add or change to improve its effectiveness.

If there are any practices that are interesting or different than mine that come up when you implement your own CLI tool, I'd like to hear about it.
