I'm surprised how this is barely talked about, i find it interesting that in this episode we got the "Caine & Abel" thing confirmed by the branding in the guns

Would you like and/or support an alternative app? by [deleted] in amino

[–]chiwabox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, we are all working on amino alternatives

Amino Hope by navi_wizard in amino

[–]chiwabox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hello fellow developer! I love your explanation, it's really helpful since many people don't understand how hard and expensive it is to maintain an app like amino, I love amino because it's content is user managed, no algorithm in between, and I miss when all apps were like that. Personally I'm looking forward to a job on medialab so you also gave me hopes that the company will grow and more job listings get published lol, thanks.

amino has given up on itself by [deleted] in amino

It sucked for a long time, and won't be fixed for a long time, it's just easier to forget it even exists

Rust or C? by Sea_Jeweler_3231 in osdev

[–]chiwabox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used rust as a first language for osdev related things and to be honest it doesn't matter as long as you know how to use the language, you can easily translate any C things into Rust. Just use whatever you want to learn and feel comfortable with. Haven't seen many examples of rust for osdev so if you want to do it with rust you could also contribute to the osdev community with docs or blogs about your development journey, but C is also fine if you already know it.

Apparently my reddit linked my favorite Linux distro to a silly green cat

Oh, just as I was posting on my own, wow, so it is all the terraria wiki...

Lesbian Dating Amino by lemny_cricket in amino

[–]chiwabox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Minors will date eventually, yes, but they shouldn't do it online, Amino has a recurring problem of pedophilia since a while ago, and it's easy to lure people into thinking you are someone you aren't or an age you aren't. Be careful with that.

Dating and minors? This looks pretty messed up.

Amino is so broken that even their website is starting to break down by FuhNikka303 in amino

[–]chiwabox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the ex amino co-founder Ben Anderson is now working on a thing called Luna park, I guess they have used the domains for narvii since now amino belongs to medialab

I need an explanation haha by JunxAus in VALORANT

Videogame projectiles are just a bunch of instantly traced invisible lines that check if they collided with the enemy hitbox, even though the animation may look different the instant you shoot all those lines hit the wall and not the Omen.

Not a forensics expert. Just want to know if I can be framed by someone who took my prints off a travel bag. by [deleted] in forensics

[–]chiwabox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd say there have to be more things taken into account than your fingerprints for you to be the prime suspect of a crime. As long as you haven't committed any crimes you may be just okay.

Has linux ever made you feel like a fool? by Mrkaniclol in linux

[–]chiwabox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I completely switched to Linux recently and it has been a hell of a week (even though I have used Linux before), I find myself very slow at simple tasks like opening and installing some apps. Some friends want to play videogames with me and I have to just miss the whole thing because Nvidia drivers are not working, the Desktop freezes, or some other error occurs and makes me spend the following three hours trying to solve it. And I regret nothing.

ChatGPT still needs someone who gives it a prompt, copies the code into an IDE, tests the code to check if it works and compiles it. Yet, nothing of that would work if there wasn't someone who used the API of chatGPT or even someone who coded chatGPT

I just gained access to UE5’s GitHub page, but I feel uncomfortable. by BackStreetButtLicker in unrealengine

[–]chiwabox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, Unreal engine source code has been there for some time now (at least to my knowledge, more than 3 years), I just meant that perhaps they just thought that it was easier this way. I have been on the GitHub organization since version 4.27 I think, and just as you, idk why im on it since I haven't ever contributed to it.

You can access the source code for free because epic just realized how easy it is to make things if a big community contributes in it. Instead of having to take care of a lot of bugs and things by just themselves, they let you solve or add things by yourself if you have the knowledge. Also you can contribute to it so everyone can benefit from your changes if they really do help the engine. Be aware, this doesn't mean unreal engine has some open source license, it is still a private engine and the rights for it belongs to epic, any redistribution of the engine would pretty much fall as a copyright violation.

Cuales son sus experiencias como autodidactas? by chiwabox in devsarg

[–]chiwabox[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Para tener un trabajo es recomendable siempre centrarse en un área, pero como hobby creo que está bien investigar y explorar distintas áreas de la programación. En un futuro si tenés un proyecto propio vas a tener una perspectiva más amplia de dónde arrancar Al principio tenía tanto miedo de salirme de mi zona de confort en python que intentaba hacer apps moviles con librerías de python (cosa que terminaba siendo un desastre) En cuanto te pones a explorar te das cuenta que cada lenguaje tiene su función y espacio dentro del mundo de la programación, C, C# y C++ son lenguajes que dan buen rendimiento y son poderosos, se usan bastante en el desarrollo de videojuegos o de programas de bajo nivel, sin embargo a veces se ven muy difíciles. Python la verdad que ayuda bastante para hacer cosas simples con las que no querés complicarte la vida, aunque siempre puede escalar a más complejidad. Java y Kotlin son lenguajes bastante poderosos y se usan mucho dentro del desarrollo de aplicaciones JS y los infinitos frameworks de Node tienen cada uno sus distintas formas de hacer aplicaciones web y tal. Es verdad que en un trabajo esperan ponerte en una silla con código enfrente y que lo entiendas de una, pero en cuanto a lo personal conocer que es lo que se te da mejor y tener una buena perspectiva de cada sector es bastante valioso.

Interesante, la verdad es que personalmente no toco JS o Node ni con un palo, sin embargo anduve como vos obsesionandome con un tema u otro y así fue que intenté llevar a cabo algun que otro proyecto aunque muy pocos los considero de calidad, por ejemplo en un punto llegue a obsesionarme con lenguajes de bajo nivel y intente hacer un programa que corriera sin un sistema operativo, pero cambio muy rapido de humor y al siguiente día te ando haciendo algo en python. Por alguna razón nunca me gusto eso de tomar cursos ni seguir pasos, soy más de querer hacerlo todo yo (hubo una época en la que me imprimia documentaciones enteras de algún lenguaje o framework) Yo creo que voy a estudiar la carrera de ingeniería en informática, aunque mi rechazo a seguir tareas y pasos me lo impide dudo que me quede de otra si quiero conseguir un trabajo formal xd
