#Coding
Hint for day 3: if it feels like grunt work, then you are doing it right.
There's no special tricks for this.
I found out recently from a coworker about #AdventOfCode . I will have to take a look at that if I have some time after finishing holiday shopping.
📆 Day 3 of Advent of Code 2023 is here. Today, we are decoding an engine schematic.
😊 Part two today was perhaps the first interesting problem, so how did you do?
💡 Share your solutions.

I've managed to stumble my way through day 1 and 2 of #adventOfCode but day 3 is a whole other story.
Not sure where to start but I just got flashbacks to the knights tour style problems for some reason.
Spent hours struggling with part 1 today while living in fear of @samwho's warning that part 2 would likely require a full rewrite. My convoluted solution only required a minor tweak though, miraculously.

"Lucid dream startup says engineers can write code in their sleep. Work may never be the same"
:headache: As someone who occasionally lucid dreams, I can tell you that lucid dreaming does not work this way. I'm also a software engineer, by the way.
The last thing we need is bloody capitalists trying to colonize our dreams.
Also, dear Fortune, your ability at predicting anything is awful. I give you the picture below which shows the problem. (It includes Forbes for good measure, because it sucks too.)

Building the new opt-in feature requires some refactoring in Keila’s email renderer.
A great opportunity to make the code much more readable: https://gist.github.com/wmnnd/a62b45881c90d169c12508391b6eb4eb
Do you have examples of code you’ve refactored recently?
#Today I set up my own Mastodon server. I've got a project in mind for it, it's not for general use so I won't publicise it yet.
I have to say … it wasn't easy? I went with DigitalOcean's easy one-click install and some of the instructions/documentation were out of date and confusing. I got as far as the site working and being up and running but I wasn't an admin.
I got it all sorted out anyway. Mastodon and its future are very important to me and I hope to be part of it in a much more engaged way as a contributor.

Solved day 02 of #adventofcode in #elixir [1].
Having trouble with some PEG parsing library I wanted to use for reading in the input into structured data to work with. Instead I had to manually split strings and extract parts. Meh. I hope I will figure out how to use Xpeg, to avoid having to spend time on writing functions to extract data from input.
I learned Elixir doesn't have inner functions. Functional arguments pattern matching to the rescue.
Is being a "minimalist programmer" a thing? 👀
As in a programmer who specializes in coding with as few external dependencies as possible. Or is this just generally frown upon?
"Just build things!" is the advice you keep hearing... but what should you build?

So... wieder ca 40 Minuten gebraucht. Insgeamt fand ich es heute einfacher als gestern, wohl auch weil ich regEx direkt in die Tonne getreten habe.

Hey everyone! 👋 Super stoked to be part of this community as a software engineering student! 🌐 Excited to connect with peers, fellow coders, and friends who share the same passion. 😊
Just dived into the world of Python yesterday, and the thrill is real! 🐍 Python's versatility in networking, web dev, and more has me buzzing with excitement. 💻
Stay tuned for updates on my learning journey I'd love your insights, feedback, and maybe even some collaboration ideas! 🙌 #Tech #coding
I'd love to use SVG, there's cool stuff you could do with it...
But it's so fucking broken and heaven forbid you comment on a 15+ year old bug with your use case because you get hit with a big fat dismissive attitude.
Anyway, this text effect could have been done without duplication & the text could have been selectable.
IF SVG worked.
That's not the case, so a non-selectable duplicated text is all you get https://codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/ZEwjvvx

I'm going to make an effort at doing #adventofcode this year. I fully expect to fall behind and generally be slow, because life, but these #programming exercises are interesting, and I need something to re-sharpen my newborn #parenting brain.
I'm doing everything in #nodejs #javascript because, you know what, I like it, despite all the (sometimes justified) hate it receives. Also, that's what my static site generator is written in, so that's where my #coding brain is currently most comfortable.
This is either complete bullshit (my suspicion) or utter depravity that needs to be stopped in it's tracks. Having people work in their sleep, ferchrissakes... #LucidDreaming #Neuroscience #coding https://fortune.com/2023/11/30/lucid-dream-startup-prophetic-headset-prepare-meetings-while-sleeping/
Does anyone know a relatively easy method for converting #Scratch .SB files into something glossier? Is there a path for that with #Godot or #Gamemaker? I thought we'd be going from Scratch to Snap to Python, but the first step is changing the games so significantly that it feels like it's a reduction instead of an enhancement.
Thanks.

I feel myself getting back into learning web design. 😀
I was looking at the HTML code of a Neocities blog and realized I understood what almost all of it meant, so I have made some progress. 😅
Just feels like I haven't because I don't know a lot of CSS. 😖
Tell me how long you’ve been in #WebDevelopment without telling me. I’ll start:
My first web page was hosted by my local dial-up Internet service provider. The URL had a tilde (`~`) in it. #JavaScript hadn’t been invented yet.
chmod 777 cgi-bin/get_off_my_lawn.pl
Came across this cool #CSS pattern https://codepen.io/josetxu/pen/mdvzaQZ?editors=0100 - uses 35 gradients, so I instantly knew I could simplify it and make it easily customisable.
So here it is my version on #CodePen https://codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/WNPamBB?editors=0100 - 9 gradients with n set to 4. Because yes, you can change n! 😎

Somehow, whenever I write Rust, I feel like it's not really for me. I always spend so much time dealing with Rust logic, and so little time on actually writing the code I want.
I can understand how it suits a lot of people to have an extremely clear visualization of the path their code takes when it runs, but I prefer to write less code, even in that means sacrificing performance.

Alright, I've set up my repo for Advent of Code. As in the past, I'll be using C# and building for readability and correctness instead of code golf or racing the leaderboards. This year I finally figured out how to keep the input files out of source control. Now I don't have to feel guilty about leaking the prompts! :blobfoxupsidedown:
My solutions will be on GitHub, updated as I complete them: https://github.com/warriordog/advent-of-code-2023

I spent 30 minutes trying to get a #PHP script working but I could not get it to display the right result no matter what. I could pull everything else from the database except the value I needed. I will revisit it tomorrow and I might have to scrap the whole database. I've run into this in the past but I forget how to fix it. Oh well.

std::as_const is a C++17 utility that simplifies const-casting, specifically the safe variant of adding a const qualifier.
Notably, this utility is more ergonomic in generic contexts than the standard const_cast.

An absolutely positioned child/ pseudo with
`inset: 0`
covers its parent's `padding-box`.
See https://twitter.com/anatudor/status/1478412237295566850
If the parent has a `border` and you want the entire `border-box` covered, then you need to set `inset` to the value of the `border-width` *with minus*.

It's really nice when I can complete a whole ass week one homework assignment on my Android, during my lunch break.
The assignment was to build a simple cost calculator in Python. Bonus Seinfeld reference included. I used the PyDroid editor for this one. I like the functionality it has, especially portable.
When I was in my 20s, I took great pride in writing Very Clever Code™ that was amazing and impressive and very very cool.
And nobody would understand it so nobody would use it. So I may as well have never written it.
So I learned “programmer empathy” and documentation. Put yourself in the head of another developer who is coming to this code fresh knowing absolutely nothing. What are their assumptions? What questions will they have? How can my solution help them?

Current progress of redoing my site. :HackThePlanet:
- Got tags (like hashtags) figured out.
- Permalinks seem alright. I think I got those figured out.
- Fixed a tag issue I had because 1 file didn't have slugify in there.
- Got post blurbs made.
- Realized that you can put pages in subfolders without ruining the permalink. So I'm organizing my code right now since I have a ton of pages.
- Need to work on art gallery next.
All beginners should get familiar with the switch statement.

It's a bit of a mindset shift to think of #coding as an art that I can refine and master, rather than just a skill to improve.
Funny story. While watching #BlueEyeSamurai on #Netflix yesterday, there is a scene where the sword master talks about mastering your art. And the love and dedication you put into making even small improvements to your process.
This made me think of my art, #WebDev.
So today I made a tiny improvement to my #Development process that I've always thought about doing. I set up a GPG key to sign my #Git commits.
A small thing that feels meaningful.

Thinking about reducing tools. I use GitHub for my code management, Notion for my internal documentation, Linear for my tickets…
Just because we use this at work and it's familiar. But I think it's too much. GitHub could do anything of that and I would probably miss nothing. 🤔
I think I should look tomorrow if I can find a tool to transfer my Linear issues to GitHub. I definitely need to keep it more simple to use my limited time for coding and not for managing tools.
So is #AdventOfCode actually any good? I have a pile of anecdata asserting that historically, it turns into completely impenetrable wanker bullshit by day ~10 out of 24.
I /might/ actually have the bandwidth for it this year, but I would much rather put the time into personal projects or OSS if I'm gonna feel compelled to give up on an advent halfway through.

Hello everyone!
I'm a software engineer mainly interested in #AR, #VR, and #GameDev. I love the feeling of creating worlds for people to enjoy and solving the puzzles that #coding creates. I also have some experience in #fullstack #WebDev, though #CSS frustrates me and #backend stuff makes me a little nervous haha.
Currently my main games are #GuildWars2 and #Minecraft. I'm also a fan of #PokemonGo, #FarmRPG, and more recently #Gubbins.
I think I found a decent solution to unmarshalling JSON-LD in Go.
Use Mitchell Hashimoto's mapstructure library.
