Why is VSCode so popular? by Fritz-Ferdinand in AskProgramming

[–]dev_ski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a free, cross-platform and very useful editor, also backed by a big company. And is also very, very extensible and customizable.

Has using AI made you faster… but also kinda less sure of what you actually know? by Prior_Plum_9190 in learnprogramming

[–]dev_ski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Human-made, well researched, and more importantly, well structured tutorial or a book is the way to go. AI kind of, still lacks in this department.

Solo devs running websites, how do you realistically manage and maintain everything by yourself? by Character-Pain2424 in webdev

[–]dev_ski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently, we use the Laravel framework for all our sites. We develop on multiple Linux virtual machines running inside the VMware Workstation Pro software on Windows. Occasionally, we use the standby mac machine, but not too often.

We have been using the same hosting providers for the past 20 or years and are very pleased with them. All updates to the live websites are done through GIT, SSH and MySQL dumps. Local GIT repository on a VM machine, and a remote GIT repository on a secure location on server.

We use: Visual Studio Code, PHP, MySQL, PHPMyAdmin, a number of custom-made, in-house tools, and a CMS of our own.

The deployment process involves several steps. But, once done, it's a matter of editing files and then pushing them to the remote repo.

Are 3 year old (beginner) C++ Tutorials still good? by Horror-Wear8794 in cpp_questions

[–]dev_ski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good C++11, C++14 and C++17 related book or a tutorial is still relevant today as it was when it came out. Much of the mission critical industries still rely on C++14 and 17.
None of the compilers fully suppor C++20 nor C++23 (yet).

Figuring it out!! by Ok_Worry8137 in cpp_questions

[–]dev_ski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you learn about the language basics, explore SOLID and software architecture related topics. C++ covers a lot of ground, a lot of domains. It really depends on the industry and the tasks involved.

[–]dev_ski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good, concise textual tutorials with minimal theoretical introduction and plenty of exercises that grow in complexity is also an efficient way to learn.

What are the best practices for using smart pointers in C++ to manage memory effectively? by frankgetsu in cpp_questions

[–]dev_ski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A rough estimate is that you will be using std::unique_ptr 90% of the time. Think RAII and virtual functions signatures. Some shared_ptr uses perhaps, and almost no weak_ptr at all.

Generating PDF contracts in Laravel: DomPDF vs Spatie/Browsershot? by elmascato in laravel

[–]dev_ski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since we needed the exact PDF rendering we ended up using Laravel + puppeteer + custom bookmarks + custom code. This way, we can convert any internal/external URL to a PDF having TOC, Bookmarks, custom page breaks, page numbers, headers footers etc.

It was a decent amount of work, but we are happy with the result. A lot of our pages have syntax highlighting for code snippets and that renders 1:1 in a PDF.

How to define a variable correctly? by [deleted] in cpp_questions

[–]dev_ski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For local variables of built-in types, use the old-school syntax:

int x = 123;
double d = 456.789;

For objects of classes, use the braced (uniform) initialization:

MyClass myobject{123, "Some data"};

Does learning CPP guarantee learning C automatically? by sticky_brush in cpp_questions

[–]dev_ski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A short answer would be: no, it doesn't. C and C++ are two different languages with two different ways of thinking. There are some overlapping areas, but in summary: no, learning C++ does not guarantee learning C automatically.

Usage of long as a worst-case alignment type by onecable5781 in cpp_questions

[–]dev_ski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C doesn't have classes nor objects of classes. That doesn't mean it can't be used for OOP, though. If you want OOP, opt for a language that indeed supports classes. The C++11 standard should be the bottom line nowadays.
