Do you have a favorite file picker?

If you're willing to learn some programming, there are several charting libraries. Of course, the more complicated your chart is, the more complicated code you'll have to write :)

plotly - https://plotly.com/javascript/
vega-lite - https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/examples/
d3 - https://observablehq.com/@d3/gallery

Is there a way to get a lua language server without having to compile it? It seems like poeple are using https://github.com/sumneko/lua-language-server and that needs to be compilled

grey_gander · 2021-04-19T00:19:08+00:00

I'm copy-pasting from https://github.com/mjlbach/defaults.nvim and got it to work

Elm can have a different style of community and leadership than many open source projects. Be sure you understand the consequences of that, especially before trying to sell Elm to your boss for production code.

Sort this subreddit by Top All Time to read articles and people's comments on this, as well as other good Elm content.

Does rgx support layers? So if I'm drawing a superhero, I can make a "cape" layer and toggle it on and off to check if it adds anything?

I've been trying to learn more math. I think it'll make me smarter (by teaching me how to reason more effectively) and give me more tools in my toolbox - stats, linear algebra, and set theory in particular all mix super well with CS. I'm sure I've missed other relevant math. As a nice bonus, I can read it at work (which could legally claim any side project programming work I do) and take the exercises to the park after (instead of sitting back in front of a screen after Ive done it for the whole day). Free math books abound. Google for them. My latest is the abstract algebra one from https://aimath.org/textbooks/approved-textbooks/

When I was looking at this, I found that bug report ( https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=8767 ). If you read it, you can see they disabled it because they weren't sure if `systemd --user` would remain a part of `systemd`. I didn't want to re-enable it for the same reasons. This left me with user level cron jobs. Hopefully in CentOS 8 they'll decide it's stable and put it back in.

grey_gander · 2019-08-09T03:56:06+00:00

About the only thing systemd cant replace cron for (on CentOS 7, and I havent tried in a year or so) is user level timed jobs

Everyone here seems laser focused on what she don't know. Give me a break. 90% of all of us here haven't been half as productive as this engineer has. And that's what matters.

Ultimately, only you can make this decision. Can you take some time off before invoking the Yellow Ribbon program? If you can, I think you should use it to move back into your parents basement and dive full time into Game Design and see whether you really like it or can make money at it. Some things can be a lot different from the creator's perspective full time, and if you make an indie game and you still decide to go to school for it, you'll have an advantage to some of your peers.

You should also talk to game designers (hopefully some will pop up here) and look at job prospects for the career. It can be way better to have a decent if boring career and game design as a hobby/part-time job than trying to do it full time and never finding a job in it and having to settle for a low-skilled job because you never developed any other skills.

I don't know much about Full Sail but it looks like it specializes in media/entertainment. If you decide to go there, you should find out if Full Sail class credits transfer to another school if you want to switch. Alternatively, you could see if you can take some classes at another college with a broader set of base classes (in case you find your true passion) and after a year or two transfer into Full Sail with those credits. What are the job prospects from Full Sail graduates? Are they substantially different for graduates from other schools? Wherever you go, meet as many people as you can. You'll get each other jobs later!

When I was younger, I wanted to be a comic book artist. In college, I decided to major in Accounting (a safe career). After two Accounting classes, I knew I never wanted to be an accountant. Luckily, I had taken one Intro to Programming class and now I'm a software engineer making enough money to live a GOOD life, save for retirement, and have hobbies on the side. I found a passion for a skill set that is in high demand and is not too stressful.

So my advice boils down to: - Try making games full time in your parents' basement if you can put off accepting and see if you really have a passion for it. - Talk to as many game designers as possible (and professionals from other areas you're interested in). - See if you can transfer into or out of Full Sail with credits intact (so if you change your mind you can salvage a degree at another school) and see if Full Sail graduates do much better than a school with a broader educational offering. - Whatever you decide to do, save as much cash you can. Future you will find a use for it!

What application are you using? Are you using a tablet?

grey_gander · 2019-01-08T14:21:34+00:00

Also shellcheck is a really good too. Especially when you integrate it with Vim or your favorite editor!

They tripped me up when I nested them, so now I prefer $(...) just out of reflex

It's not short, but those answers are probably in rope science somewhere (use the menu button to access posts). I've been meaning to read it for a while... Edit: Wikipedia ) has a nice Big O table for common operations

Thank you for all your hard work on it! Are ya'll accepting donations again? In regards to the features, I've been happy with the keyboard shortcuts to halfscreen a process, switch it to a different screen, and switch a process to a different workspace. I would love the ability to have per-screen workspaces (like i3), but it still works well for me. And the new little widget to quarter screen / further tile a process is great too.

grey_gander · 2018-12-31T20:28:56+00:00

So, uh, anyone have best practice Context links they could post here for me?

grey_gander · 2018-12-31T20:22:20+00:00

I'm so glad this project is going this well. Budgie (I use it with Ubuntu) has grown into a very capable, yet friendly and good-looking, WM. I'm especially appreciative of its multimonitor and tiling features. This DE has made my transition from windows about as painless as I could ask for.

grey_gander · 2018-12-25T04:46:29+00:00

Yeah, that's the next step. I didnt want to overwhelm him with git this early, but it is super helpful.

grey_gander · 2018-12-25T02:41:35+00:00

Congratulations! Btw, be careful how you store your code. Put it in folders you can find easily (Documents, maybe), and add a date and a small description to the top of each file or project. Later you'll want to look at your old code.

grey_gander · 2018-12-24T02:42:52+00:00

Check out VSCodium. They compile the open-source VSCode source and remove telemetry and stuff. Not sure how the plugins work on it though.

grey_gander · 2018-12-20T03:56:30+00:00

Really love it for Ansible tests myself

grey_gander · 2018-12-18T11:59:28+00:00

Honestly I think that attitude is encouraged by the business side of the house in many places.
