As @terrehbyte@ani.social says VS Code is ok for simpe text stuff but I prefer Goland and PyCharm for development. As a Child of TP6 I miss the simplicity of the IDE and the color scheme :)

Thank for your comment. I had heard of DuckDB but never checked it out. “why you would i need that I use postgres”… But I just found the WASM implementation and I have been looking for something like this for years. Thank you!

I don’t do PHP. But I used other JetBrains tools for Go, Python and Java and they are very helpful. The AI Assistant is pretty good for explaining code. I am not in anyway paid by them. Good Luck

It is from Microsoft, cool. So next week we have a new remote cache-store solution with a new API use that instead. Just rewite all the projects that use the old one that is not supported any more. We love our developers

“I don’t know anything about your apple device, I prefer to own my devices and not have somone else dictate what I can use it for”

I guess this is like a more powerful htmlx implentation?

When I saw this section “Why Lisp remains so strong to this day?” I thought “is it really?!?” Do other people use lisp much? https://xlr.sourceforge.io/#why-lisp-remains-so-strong-to-this-day

Sometimes I wonder if Wordpress is the main reason MySql and MariaDB still exist.

Glad I switch to Postgres years ago.

This is one of those things that are so easy to over think :) the Play/Pause button (I THINK - NOW I AM NOT SURE) by convention shows the Desired state because you press Play to Start but in other cases I would say it’s usually the otherway around. Ie Check Box has a tick/cross etc when it’s True/On/Yes/etc. I think the Play/Pause is a convention that is the exception

This is definately the way with microsoft. Use this new shiny framework… 18 months later. No Use this one its’ much better, just rewrite all your code again! 18 months later…

With the wrong color scheme its really hard to know if its’ ON or OFF

Bummer it would take 51 reasons why I would switch to something as messy as PHP. I was so close to switching.

THIS!! Start with something simple like Python. I don’t think you need to be good at math to be a good programmer. If you understand the concepts of math theny you will be fine. I heard Rita Wilson say the other day something like “If you keep practising something you can only get better at it”. (not a direct quote) Find a Problem then solve it. That is the best way to learn.

It was a simpler time.

Use the OS you are most comfortable with. When it comes to programmming try and learn 1 “thing” at a time. If you trying to learn Python and how to use Linux as well as Python then you learning 2 (or more…) things at once so stick with what you know for now. If you are comfortable with Linux (or Mint as you say) then stay with that because I have found running Python on Windows is a Pain but that could just be the environment we are using. Good Luck and Have fun!

The Author of Lynx template is really playing on thieir last name LOL

Me too. I don’t understand why people like ligatures.

It’s a pity there is not 1 code example on the Front Page. I spent a few minutes trying to find a page with some code and all I found was Why, Why Not, what is different etc and not any code examples so I am out. Look at Zig within seconds I can see if I like the syntax, does it make sense to me. I would love to know what Pony lang looks like. I might like it but it seems like

I use Drone (bad name for googe searches) and I like it! Simple idea that just works.
