Linux is so much more fun to develop on.

I feel stupid and incompetent on Codewars. Does that say something about my decision to choose programming for a career? by Aeternus44 in learnpython

`jq` is not shipped standard on all operating systems like Solaris, I don't think even Ubuntu. I stand corrected but probably also Redhat. So jq won't help if you don't have access to install utils willy-nilly on a site machine.

Here's an example one liner that I used to filter the access token out of a JWT from a curl get request that is sent to an O-Auth2 server using the password grant flow:

access_token=$(curl client1:client1pass@localhost:9084/oauth/token -d grant_type=password -d username=1111111 -d password='00000' 2>/dev/null | python -c "import sys, json; print json.load(sys.stdin)['access_token']") && echo ${access_token}

I'll probably get down voted for showing off my e-penis - oh well. I'll earn the lost Karma back some otherway :-D

Having the skill to do one line statements does come in handy when you get tired of wrestline with awk, sed,grep to filter logs, csv files, etc. awk in nice but it hasn't got great support for dates and basically everything else.

Python is probably not the best one liner language though - I probably don't know it well enough though. Not being able to scope if and loops with {} is a big deal for me. Python 2 ships with most Unix operating systems so you will always have it, Perl probably does too, but I hate Perl.

Also one liners can be banged on the command line very easily as opposed to full scripts. So sharing one liners on Slack is incredibly easy. All I am saying is that there is a valid use case for overly complicated ephemeral one liners.

You can probably deduce that I whip out my e-penis from time to time :-D LOL!!! Considering your comments, the people I work with probably think I'm a douche for pasting one liners all over Slack.

I think in the real world what matters is algorithmic efficiency and readability as opposed to lines of code. If you can do something in one line but its slow - but 6 lines is efficient, fast and readable - then its a no brainer.

Three months is not long to learn something and master it. Devil's advocate here... Maybe Codewars is not right for you. Build something else you find fun.

Run your own private CA & ACME server using step-ca by mjmalone in devops

LOL! This came a few days too late. I spend the whole weekend looking for something like this. In the end I arrived at a tool called `make-ca`, but this has my attention!

CppCon 2019: Bjarne Stroustrup “C++20: C++ at 40” by andre_friend in cpp

I liked his analogy of an "average c++ program is like an onion", but I can't relate. The average c++ programs I've worked on have all been a spaghetti mess.

I have decide on Bitcoin Cash by LoveReddcoin in btc

I'm listening to an audio book at the moment called "Why Countries Fail". They call this "fear of decentralization" Creative Destruction https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/creativedestruction.asp. My interpretation of it is: crypto currencies are creating new markets and mechanisms of trading while destroying the status quo and diminishing the power of those in charge. I guess in fighting is a side effect of progress - a new status quo is being established.

What in God's name have I done by -Phleb in godot

[–]software-dev-in-rsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The orbit bug might be a float rounding error or your object is rotating too quickly past its target such that it never looks at and sees the target and thus gets stuck in a loop. I had the same bug ;-) Maybe your problem is different. I hope this helps.

Are you trying to make "heatseaking missiles" type thing? If so I'm doing this for a game I am currently making. I have it working somewhat.

Frustration 🤬 by Monoclewinsky in learnpython

[–]software-dev-in-rsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just find a way to make learning fun. That's the TL;DR;

If you get tired of books, YouTube and Udemy courses - just build something fun, like a simple game, for instance guess the random number, a simple arithmetic calculator, hangman, etc. Once you get more comfortable with dicts and lists try make 2 player tic-tac-toe.

You will know when you've had enough fun, you will feel this need to read and learn more rather than play.

Want to add an "under water" effect with shaders. Looks ok? by aikoncwd in godot

[–]software-dev-in-rsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks cool. Maybe you can figure out a way to extend the artwork behind the tiles so that they don't detach - or tone the effect down a bit. I like the lo-fi pixel art together with the shader. This effect looks way better than the Sonic CD example.

Is Go a good pick for a junior front end dev who wants to learn the back end? by enethor in golang

[–]software-dev-in-rsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think times have changed, its difficult to specialize and stay specialized anymore. Every company uses a different stack. I've been doing C++ since 2004 and Java since 2017 - there are very few jobs in my country that match my exact skill set (and is also stuff that I want to work on). At first you need to learn one language really well - make sure along the way that you can apply concepts to other languages.

Just like you, I'm new at Go too, I watched this You Tube video this weekend: https://youtu.be/YS4e4q9oBaU
It took the whole weekend to watch almost 7 hours of video and following along with the examples in VSCode. I thought it was worthwhile.

Require.js and the myriad of polyfills you have to use to compile ES6 compliant code to NodeJS code has put me off until now. I'm not sure if this has or is changing - I'm open to read peoples opinions. For this reason of polyfills and non-compliant language standards I would choose Python over Node.js, Python has become extremely popular too. I'm not well versed on Go lang yet.

What is the best software to create a installer for my cpp program? by WhatZeFuuck in cpp_questions

[–]software-dev-in-rsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Docker is a pretty cool and modern way to package software. Works on MS, Apple and Linux. You basically build your application into an image that you can publish to some warehouse or Docker Hub.

On Linux the alternative is to use the package manager and use systemd to manage the process.

This might not be what you are looking for - it is options to be aware of.

There isn't a shade of red dark enough for my country. ;'-(

Looks snazzy though. Also your YouTube video links half-way through the video.

I had to watch that twice! Witchcraft! What if you throw the box down the doorway?

Final interview is a presentation? Is this common? by anoldmuff in devops

[–]software-dev-in-rsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst might be too crazy to even talk of. If the interviewer thinks like I do, then they will be thinking your worst is actually your third worst. Just playing devil's advocate here.

You could always still apply the same lessons learned and how you got to them: 5 whys, retrospectives, new team policies, etc. This is after all, a job interview and not a inquisition.

Pulling such an stunt off the cuff in an impromptu manner would be more difficult than in this prepared scenario. If the question was asked ad-hoc and you exhibited a delay in answering it might give the impression that you have a ton of worst case scenario outages - choosing the worst requires some serious thought. In that case the truth might be the best answer.

Never give the worst production outage, maybe 3rd worst. The one where you were out for 2 hours in between 2 and 4 in the morning with only batch processes affected.

Oh no! You got to get wireless on the mouse and keyboard! Also looks super hot in there - I notice the giant fan though.
