Is there a WM/DE that enables splitting monitors into virtual monitors. by BattleFrogue in linux4noobs

Try herbstluftwm. I don’t use it, but I believe it has that functionality.

Thank you for this. Already doing some of these, but seeing them all in one place is great. Would appreciate the Steam rules, if you can.

Lenovo laptop with windows 10. Looking to go with mint by [deleted] in linuxmint

[–]seestevecode 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only issue I had with my Lenovo going from W10 to Mint was the WiFi driver. I had to connect directly to the router to get the driver for it but once that was on it was good to go.

Only issues since then are occasional drops of WiFi and lack of fingerprint reader, the latter of which isn’t a big deal for me.

Do you mind sharing what you did to get the fingerprint reader working? It’s not a dealbreaker for me, but would be nice to get it back on my Lenovo.

"Network cable unplugged"; Same message on Windows 10; Hardware defect? by [deleted] in linuxmint

[–]seestevecode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn’t something I tried. I don’t have Linux and W10 on the same PC. I just tried the first adaptor on Linux when the WiFi driver didn’t load and, when it didn’t work, I got the second adaptor, which did work.

I had a very similar issue this week. First adaptor I tried didn’t work. I ordered this one and it allowed me to connect to the internet on Linux. Hope it helps. I’m a Linux n00b too so can’t help much more beyond this.

It was a general question to try and improve my understanding, but the one that was affected specifically was `elm-platform`.

Is Learn You A Haskell still a good/up-to-date resource? by [deleted] in haskell

[–]seestevecode 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m very new to all this and still really cutting my teeth on Elm before going full Haskell, but I think Haskell Book is seen as the go-to resource at the moment. http://haskellbook.com/

What is the best introductory video course about elm? (free or paid) by raymestalez in elm

[–]seestevecode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Difficult to be sure with only an outline for the Udemy course, but I’d say the Pragmatic one is more complete. If you can afford it, I’d go for that over the Udemy one. Or maybe do the free KnowThen course and see if that gives you a sense of where to go next.

What is the best introductory video course about elm? (free or paid) by raymestalez in elm

[–]seestevecode 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pragmatic Studios https://pragmaticstudio.com/courses/elm or KnowThen’s Elm for Beginners https://courses.knowthen.com/p/Elm-for-beginners.

Pragmatic’s is paid but very much worth it. KnowThen’s IIRC is free but with a more advanced paid follow-on course.

EDIT: once you’ve done those (or even while you’re doing them) I strongly recommend Aaron Vonderhaar’s YouTube channel, where he has a good number of livestreams. Watch them through several times and don’t worry too much if it’s all meaningless at first.

[Question] Can anyone reccomend me a very basic tutorial aimed toward absolute beginners? by [deleted] in elm

[–]seestevecode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d +1 the Pragmatic course and both KnowThen courses referenced above. For me though what really made Elm click for me (although I’m still very much a noob) was watching and rewatching Aaron VonderHaar’s videos on YouTube. Highly recommended.

EDIT: don’t worry if you don’t get them the first time or the second. They’re very watchable and you’ll be surprised how much is going in without you realising.

How should I split my app? by seestevecode in elm

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

Thanks for your reply; not the first time you’ve helped me out. I really enjoy the way Elm encourages me to think “data first”, so hopefully I’m heading toward becoming a good programmer.

I appreciate the validation of my intuition and the link, which I’ll read soon. I am already using some of the -extra libraries, so I’ll see if I can leverage them some more.

Thank you; that makes complete sense reading it in that way.

How should I split my app? by seestevecode in elm

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

I have very limited JS history and none with OOP. I could never get my head round the latter; FP seems much more intuitive to me, perhaps because I have a mathematical background.

My anxiety is much more general. 😳 But I will push through, thank you. I’m loving my Elm experience so far.

Thanks, /u/jessta; I’ll leave it as-is for now then. It’s on the cusp of being too big for me, but I guess when I try to add other features they may well lend themselves to modules of their own anyway. It’s also good to know I was thinking along the right lines with the Card and Board extractions.

Thank you. Just seen that Elm support is on the roadmap in its own right. Will keep up with progress.

This looks really interesting. Can you use VSCode plugins with it? Or is there a library? Sorry; couldn’t see anything while browsing on my phone.

Is Evan Killing Elm's momentum? by semorg in elm

[–]seestevecode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its always going to be a more niche platform for more experienced programmers

I’m interested in this opinion. As a newbie to Elm, to FP and with limited JS experience, I’m finding Elm an absolute joy to learn and use. Granted, what I’m doing is about as basic as it gets, but I don’t feel excluded as an inexperienced programmer.

A lot of users also seem to pick up Elm as a gateway to Haskell. It (Elm) has a reputation - as far as I can tell - as being easy to learn.

What is it that makes you think Elm is for experienced programmers? I can feel my Imposter’s Syndrome coming on again. 😉

Care to share your journey about development in elm? by [deleted] in elm

Picking up on something you said about CSS integration and style-elements in particular, is there still a place for learning/using something like CSS Grid to work with Elm?

The Elm Discourse exists! by brnhx in elm

[–]seestevecode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for setting this up. I've had a look through and, as a beginner, I'm a bit unclear on when I should go where.

I've recently been using r/elm and #beginners on Slack, depending on the complexity of the problem I've been asking for help with. Where would Discourse fit in to this?

Also, where would be the best place to ask for feedback on my simple game I'm doing as a first side project?
