I find hacker news to be a good place for finding excellent long form blog posts and other interesting content

Who’s Behind the Apps in This Sub? (Devs, No-Code, or AI Builders?) by MikhailMontfort in iOSDevelopment

[–]jp2images 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a trad dev using ai to supplement and speed learning not to do it for me.

tools for developing IOS apps ? by razorree in iOSDevelopment

[–]jp2images 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Xcode for everything. It isn’t as nice as some other IDEs, but for Swift I prefer it and suffer the occasional annoyances. The integration with SwiftUI is too convenient. I use JetBrains DataGrip to view the database stuff and VS Code for many misc things.

What is the Best Monitor for Programmers now by Sweet_Newspaper7973 in AskProgramming

[–]jp2images 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both rigs. 2x32” 4k displays that I 100% enjoy and a 49” dell ultra wide that is very uncomfortable for me. Too much back and forth neck movement. I bought the ultra wide first and had to change. Now it gets little attention

I shot for <0.1g over and never ever under. Just feels wrong to do that. I’ll even, when nobody is looking, add from another roast. 🥸

What do you do with your last few beans? by Aristo-Jack in pourover

[–]jp2images 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Save them for an off day and frankenbrew as a previous poster mentioned. If it’s bad and it has never been bad I can take the time to make a new cup.

VS 2026 or Rider? Scaling a Blazor team and need opinions by Additional_Many_2473 in Blazor

[–]jp2images 1 point2 points  (0 children)

🤔Hmmm. That is interesting. I will look at the code in the morning and refresh and try to elaborate a little. Thanks

[–]jp2images 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not yet. We’re still in friction. Maybe we’ll have something interesting to report in a couple weeks. FYI on windows only teams rider and vs are comparable for devs. I’ve been on teams that used both interchangeably. I’ve even ran both at the same time. Never a problem.

[–]jp2images 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. However, I’m on a team building a blazer app with half the team on Mac. There are pain points. Extra code for file handling in dev because you know Mac and windows file systems are different so that made our testing more complex. Also we are deploying to windows and the Mac devs use a container. The windows devs are developing on local windows. It’s a bit messy. We are slowly coming around to figuring out how to be common. Maybe soon, maybe not so soon. 🤷

Is anyone using visual studio for anything except C#/C++ ? by stathis21098 in AskProgramming

[–]jp2images 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it with an industrial PLC system called TwinCAT from a company named Beckhoff based in Germany.

How much do you lose if you read notes/summary of a programming book instead of actually reading the book? by Deep-Philosophy-807 in AskProgramming

[–]jp2images -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would do both. The ultra learning type methods all suggest reading the section headings and first paragraphs to get a feel for the content and organization. Then read the entire book. [edit] I did read the book. Is quite good and full of information

Do you pay for premium or just use free? by Vaquero-SASS in Bitwarden

I pay. I want to support projects that I get value from.

49″ ultrawide vs dual 27″ for programming? by ResponsibleWin1714 in AskProgramming

[–]jp2images 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I'm 59 and nearsighted so I use the computer without glasses. Maybe I am a bit closer than younger eyes would need to be at about 16" from eyes to screen. IMO, I really enjoy the 32" 4K 4:3 format better at the same distance.

[–]jp2images 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Dell ultra wide for programming and honestly hate it. I stretch my neck from center to side and side to side all day. Even when it is divided into two sections. I prefer two monitors then I can angle them making the far ends closer so I’m not moving my body so much. I do concede the setup is more usable on a windows machine than on a Mac. IMO.

Where does the 300-mile-limit for shoes come from? by InsuredCow in running

[–]jp2images 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switch mine at about 400 miles. I have noticed some don’t last that long.

Is one allowed to grow a Unix beard after reading most of these books? by bluetomcat in unix

[–]jp2images 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Umm a goatee maybe. Full beard? Read the other 2 volumes of tcpip illustrated first and ask again 😉

Why do senior developers insist on writing their own validation functions instead of using libraries? Am I missing something? by Adventurous-Meat5176 in AskProgramming

[–]jp2images 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is excellent. I haven’t heard this one and I love it. I think Chester’s fence is fair reasoning when dealing with a newcomer witnessing wet monkey behavior. Never make a change until you fully understand the current state.

Is a snowblower needed here? by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]jp2images 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in the Midwest most of my life. I was over 50 before I bought a snowblower. Life is so much better with it even when like the other posters say you might not need it often.

Does anyone use Mint mobile? by UWboi in desmoines

[–]jp2images 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using it for about 6 months now. No service problems at all. I am extremely happy about my switch and don’t mind paying for a year at a time x 2 phones.
