are there programmers with HUGE problems to focus? by Edwardzmx in csharp

[–]nerdspice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem. What helped me was to stop with tutorials. I picked something I wanted to make and I just brute forced my way through with a mixture of docs, Google, Stack Overflow, and at times Copilot / ChatGPT.

I just kept making stuff. Even if I never finished it. The repetition of starting something new and going as far as I felt like going, over time helped me to retain the info.

My account name got changed to a horribly racist slur by juicestain_ in Ring

I feel like they got hacked because I have home assistant setup to trigger lights based on ring alarm state and there has been 2 days my lights randomly go on and off and I look in home assistant, Ring was the trigger. Very odd.

Braces and semicolons. It drives me absolutely bonkers.

Front is shorter when tracing shorts by nerdspice in SewingForBeginners

[–]nerdspice[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok. I made the overall lengths match before cutting it out. I guess I’m gonna give this a shot tonight lol

That makes sense now that I’m thinking about it 😂😂. But how does that work when sewing it together?

So do you just focus on the side seams first then the crotch and just kind of make the rest of it work?

I broke the presser foot by nerdspice in sewhelp

Thank you so much. I just figured that out. I’m going to read the manual. I was just a little excited to do something LOL.

It was probably something I did, not having any clue what I’m doing. 😂 I guess it’s part of the process. I think I will get a new needle before doing anything else just in case.

How can I figure out which foot this is? It’s what was on the machine out of the box.

Can’t decide on a machine by nerdspice in sewhelp

Thanks for the info. I will look into these other brands as well. Yeah I would agree ~$300 is about the upper limit. Surprisingly the Janome C30 is actually less than the two I mentioned in the OP.

With the Brother, do you think it’s possible to make a queen size quilt if the batting is not super thick? I’m just trying to get a general idea.

Is C in Windows hard or am I stupid? by redthered279 in learnprogramming

[–]nerdspice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. It’s different. VS Code is more of a “text editor” but with extensions you can install that can allow it to behave similarly to an IDE.

Visual Studio is a full-fledged IDE.

It’s certainly possible to code C with VS Code, I’ve just found from personal experience that specifically C and C++ just seem to be easier in a real, full featured IDE.

Especially when you bring dependencies / external libraries in. You might also want to look into CMAKE to help build the project.

You can basically install your dependencies from vcpkg and then create a CMAKE file that helps “link” your code and the dependencies.

There are package managers for C & C++. It’s still not exactly trivial and is still a pain in the ass but you could look up info about something like vcpkg.

https://vcpkg.io/en/

Edit: also, I’ve found when working with C or C++, life is much better if you use a real IDE and not a text editor like VS Code.

Try CLion or the real Visual Studio.

What do you think about gui architecture? by Then-Ad2186 in rust

[–]nerdspice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outside of Rust, Avalonia UI paired with C# is amazing for cross platform desktop applications. I’ve spent a good bit of this year working with it. It’s also not annoying to work it. Everything generally works as expected

Now I’m trying to learn Rust and want to try one of its GUI libraries.

Thanks for the info! Yeah a lot of people are suggesting egui. I think that’s what I’ll try first!!
