My experience might not match others but honestly I would recommend avoiding this trap. It’s just compromise and disappointment all the way up. Then you’ll be blamed for anything that goes wrong despite only 15% of your plan being accepted by executives. If the company culture is different and fosters leadership instead of stifling it then maybe it could work. At the end of the day you’re probably still going to be making someone else’s dreams come true until you start your own company.

Linux@programming.dev•Valve's Proton 10.0-4 Released With More Windows Games Now Running On Linux
5 monthsValve contracted codeweavers when proton started back in 2016. I would say without Valve, Linux gaming wouldn’t be where it is today. Proton is open source, so anyone can fork it and build on it. Pretending Valve didn’t meaningfully fund and push this effort is misleading. Your comments read less like “credit where it’s due” and more like “Steam bad, therefore Valve contributed nothing”, which just isn’t an honest framing.

Programming@programming.dev•what's the coolest thing you have ever programmed?
6 monthsQuite the family member you got. At the very least hopefully you’ve gotten your family to shun them or something regardless of their “legal rights”. Drives me nuts seeing “idea people” exploiting the actual effort and talent it takes to implement it.

Programming@programming.dev•what's the coolest thing you have ever programmed?
6 monthsCurious but were you paid for it? I’m no lawyer but I can’t imagine that holding up unless she paid you for it. Even then, without an explicit contract, there’s probably a lot of gray area this falls into because you could have just been offering a service that’s utilizing something you made.

Programming@programming.dev•Anyone have any favorite diffing tools?
8 months+1 for smartgit. I just use jet brains built in git guis now but whenever I’m doing some crazy rebasing I open up smartgit. I like how it also shows you the commands in the log so you can learn by doing.

So much this. It’s even more annoying when you fix them and paste it back just for it to ignore it lol.

8 monthsWhen you say “just like typescript?” Are you implying vanilla JavaScript is better? I don’t think typescript is considered declarative unless you’re talking about jsx/tsx files (react)

Linux@programming.dev•Steam’s June Client Update Brings Proton Default on Linux
1 yearLooks like you are correct. I don’t think I could find most if not any of the leaders from the leader pass. Including Sejong. That’s incredibly disappointing. Looking through the contents of the dlc from a proton install I’m not seeing anything that would prevent someone from just using it on Linux other than editing the paths. I’ll experiment some. Maybe I’m naive and there’s a reason why no one else has done it.
Edit: proton has come so far that maybe Linux peeps just opt to use that for civ6. Especially since the Linux build might be a tad buggy? At least for me it’s definitely had issues.
Edit2: Ha. It works. That’s wild that they would just lazily not repack it…

just copy the windows dlc packs over,

Then inside the platform Linux dir
find . -type f -name '*.modinfo' -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's#Platforms/Windows#Platforms/Linux#g'Some don’t seem to show up in game still so I’ll experiment more this weekend if I get time and throw together a bash script that downloads all the windows depots and patches them.
Edit3: for the ones not working it might be due to case sensitive file system. They use

Linux@programming.dev•Steam’s June Client Update Brings Proton Default on Linux
1 yearIs this still the case? I’ve been playing without noticing anything missing. But I’m not a veteran player that would notice either. Steam discussions seem to suggest it’s all in sync?

Linux@programming.dev•KDE Plasma 6.3.2 Released with Animated WebP and GIF Support for Spectacle
1 yearCan finally put obs away for 10 second screen caps lol
Hard to not worry about it when after 2 years of applying to 2-4 every other day you get no responses. Like surely you’d think a resume with 10 years of experience would at least warrant a phone screen. I have several theories but I’m probably just another “armchair expert”
Where’s the tin foil hat emoji when you need one?
But actually I might have been confusing what I’m seeing on job boards with what all the recruiters are telling me or it’s a stale vibe from several months ago. Took another look at LinkedIn, indeed, dice and it seems relatively balanced if not listing more jobs with my stack like you said.
Doesn’t change the fact that I’m not getting any interactions from these postings though. I finally got one response on indeed last week but after answering their questions and they said I was a strong candidate they directed me to a one way AI video interview site… 3 years ago I had recruiters banging down my door trying to get me into interviews left and right. Trying not to rant but long story short it’s not looking good for tech.
If you figure out the answer let me know. 10+ years of experience and haven’t been able to find a job in the last 2 years.
Mainly looking for:
- Nodejs/Nestjs
- Typescript/JavaScript
- React/React-Native
- Rust
The only thing I’m seeing in abundance is C#/dot net. And everything advertised with PHP smells like WordPress.
Yeah Interfaces would be the next best thing.
The only reason why traits are considered better is because in languages like rust it can enable static dispatch. Whereas interfaces in C#, Java, Typescript, (and C++ via abstract classes, not templates) are always dynamic dispatch.
At that point I would argue composition/traits are the way to go.
“This extends Draggable”. That’s great but now we can’t extend “Button” to override the click handler.
Traits: You wanna have Health, and do Damage, but don’t want to implement InventoryItem? No problem. You wanna be an Enemy and InventoryItem? Go for it. What’s this function take? Anything that implements InventoryItem + Consumable

Programming@programming.dev•Rant: I wish more people stopped using Github
1 yearIt’s a shame because how gitlab is basically begging to be bought out and hides a lot of useful features behind subscriptions… I remember when it was originally just a GitHub clone way back when.

Linux@programming.dev•Fish Shell 4.0 drops C++ for Rust to simplify development and enhance performance
1 yearRust was painful to look at until I started using it for more than 6 or so months
As a wise person once told the Internet, don’t worry about picking the best one. But if you really had to pick one just start with the rust book. https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ I would suggest to just dive in with a specific need you want to solve and instead of using your language of choice just use rust and look up stuff as you go. Hands on learning is usually the best learning. The only thing you need to “learn” is how to follow the ownership/borrowing paradigm that rust brings to the table.


Maybe they just prefer the workflow compared to gimp
