This whole article could have just been a report of “How I found a bug in the Kernel and helped fix it” - instead of something this negative
I disagree. If noone spoke out about Linus Torvalds calling people “dumb fucks”, he would still be doing it.
It's kind of a leap from "not accepting a PR because the maintainer thought the code wasn't good enough to accept it at face value - and the maintainer apparently didn't care enough to give the contributor an extended code-review on how to fix it" vs "calling people “dumb fucks”"
If a maintainer get a PR that's bad and it would take an hour to write an explanation on how to fix it - and then hoping the end-result from the contributor is as expected, otherwise he'll have to write another explanation on how to fix it and go back and forth for a while - vs - just spending that hour rewriting the fix himself - I'm pretty sure most maintainers just do it themselves.
When you actually work for a company and you're working with other (junior) devs, you should go for the option of educating them on what's wrong with their PR... But in this case - I don't even know if the maintainer is doing this as a paid job or just in their spare time - but either way why would the maintainer spend time getting the PR right if it was apparently far off.
Did the author do the best job with this article? Probably not. That does not invalidate his experience though.
I didn't say his experience was invalid, but his experience probably isn't unusual. He could've taken this experience as "I contributed the QA and diagnosing part of this bugfix, but my code wasn't up to par. Next time before submitting some random fix for a bug that I found (that wasn't even "Up for grabs") (or discussed how it should be fixed at all) - I should contact the maintainer first" - Instead it seems he found a bug, didn't really report or communicate about it, because he wanted to race for a fix himself because he wanted to get recognition for actually creating the code the fixed the bug
Edit: the amount of downvotes you get for saying something unpopular without being violent or abusive is showing the lack of guts to discuss something in a civilized manner. Shame on you.
People aren't discussing this because "try to sue in this case" is just an absurd concept - but okay.
Who are you going to sue and for what? His concept of recognition is just "getting his code into the kernel"? He could have written a blog post in the context of “How I found a bug in the Kernel and helped fix it” - He did contribute, he did the QA part and the diagnosing part, thats contributing.
But his post with the sentiment of "I did it all for nothing!" makes it seem like the goal was to get "recognition" and get his code into the repo... The goal is just to fix bugs, and he did contribute to that
That in itself is the problem. If the kernel community wants to attract new contributors, mentorship is important and appreciation of effort is important, despite the result of that effort not being up to par yet.
Well it depends on the quality of the PR. If there are minor things wrong, you can point them out the the contributor and help them get their PR to a level you want..
If the PR is "Ok, thanks for pointing out where the issue is, but I'm going to have to rewrite your solution entirely" - what is the maintainer supposed to do? Take their PR, overwrite the solution, and git squash them together so the original contributor gets "credit" in form of being in the git history?
I doubt the maintainer would even consider that the contributor would feel "belittled and angry" if their fix wasn't accepted at face value, or if they didn't get enough credit would write an angry blog post about it. This whole article could have just been a report of "How I found a bug in the Kernel and helped fix it" - instead of something this negative
Yea, I was thinking the same. I have the JetBrains toolbox, and already have these installed:
- Rider
- RubyMine
- PyCharm
- GoLand
- CLion
I don't really get why they need to make 10 different IDEs for every language, instead of just consolidating everything into a single UI/IDE.
For pricing it doesn't make that much sense, anyone that wants more than 2 JetBrains products is better off buying the entire toolbox.
well sure, they would probably encrypt the payload, but they'd still have to add the encryption code / key in there to be able to do that.
It wouldn't be as easy as just finding the correct url and calling it loads of times, but someone cracking the game would already be deobfuscating and reverse engineering the code anyways patch out the DRM.
So figuring out how Unity "calls home" and replicating it can't be too complicated
It'll probably much easier... In the end, Unity needs to call something to let them know there was an install, like
http://telemetry.unity.com?game=DiabloImmortal&deviceId=acb-123After installing a game locally or on a VM / Sandboxie, someone will figure out how it works... Then you just generate a lot of calls, either call it locally or through a proxylist / botnet - and you have millions of installs.
This is already how it works with poorly cracked games/software. The games' crack.nfo (readme) will say something like: - Copy the .exe to the /bin/ folder, add the .exe to your windows firewall or otherwise prevent it from accessing the internet.
well sure, as a user FOSS is ideal, but as a developer it's not ideal you're not getting paid for your software...
Just paying a developer once for software you use seems like a decent compromise

[...] Blazor WASM has a massive initial payload, which makes it slow and heavy.
Blazor WASM doesn't need to have a massive initial payload, that's only if you're making your projects too big, and aren't really structuring them correctly. To be fair, Microsoft hasn't really done anything to make this easier, or address this
(Shameless self promotion) - I however, have fixed that: https://github.com/RonSijm/RonSijm.Blazyload Your "landing page" should basically ideally be pretty much the only thing that's initially loaded, so that the initial load is fast. Once that is done, you can quietly lazy load the rest of the dlls you need

I read someone saying that the lack of contributors was due to the software stack being unconventional and takes people a while to get used
I don't think the software stack does matter that much. I've downloaded the Lemmy source and ran it from source, and my main caveat with it is the structure. I would have liked to see a much more modular design, with an add-on kind of system. Now, when an instance owner wants to add a feature, their only two options are either to: Try to get their specific feature into Lemmy main, or create a specific Lemmy fork with their own feature(s).
The entry level to just create your own Lemmy add-on would be much smaller than to try to get something new into the main repo. Plus it'd give you a sense of ownership when you'd see something like "50 instances have added your add-on" - over "I made a cool feature, it got PRed into main, and pretty much no one knows who build it"
For example, a great system is something like Home Assistant - Where this is a structure of "Addon-Repo" and "Addons" - with a Main Repo and you can add your own custom repo, or just install from .zip if you want that for some reason. Kind of similar as something like Nuget
If people could "contribute" with their own standalone things instead of having to PR stuff into a repo, you'd get much more contributions and user created add-ons

[From the github comment]
The issue I see with the RFC is not wanting to allow users to add tags to ease the burden on moderators. This comes from a lack of users with privileges, so moderators are overworked and need to rely on bots.
If the tags are just kinda "plain old hashtags" - and not something cool like I mentioned in the previous post 😉 -
Possibly you could have a look at how Gazelle handles tags, where it's just a voting system. For example, this is "Kanye West" https://i.imgur.com/adTe4t8.png - then tags are no longer a boolean yes/no system, but a user-voted system. And then it's no longer a moderation concern to have to correct tags, and you don't need "User privileges" to manage the tags either.
It's just a pretty chaotic system though - you might still want moderators to remove bad tags and/or ban users from creating tags if they're always adding nonsense.
Could be some point based system like Stackoverflow - users with n points can vote on existing tags, users with n+ points can add their own new tags

I'm not very familiar with the ActivityPub protocol, but there are easy ways to flatten an hierarchy.
For example, the tag could literally be "NSFW/Porn/Straight" - though I assume then there's no system in place to request tags by their parents.. So posts with that tag would just get 3 tags: "NSFW", "NSFW/Porn" and "NSFW/Porn/Straight" in the API, and would be hidden / breadcrumbed in the UI.
Though it's not ideal to do it like that, as it would make maintaining structure more complicated - though not impossible.
Just curious, how open / extendable is ActivityPub? Just to say "the protocol doesn't have it (yet)" - doesn't mean it can't be implemented, either properly or through some workaround like mentioned above

I'd like tags, but they'd have to be something different than just communities / categories, since that's already what communities are for.
I've build multiple CMS like systems, and how I've implemented tags before, and liked the most was as a node tree - Since a lot of the comments are focused on NSFW, to illustrate an example:
- SFW
- NSFW
- NSFW/Porn
- NSFW/Porn/Straight
- NSFW/Porn/Gay
- NSFW/Gore
- NSFW/Porn
This allows users to use tags as a sort of searching mechanism with an hierarchy, and fine-tune how specific they want to search for a specific thing. Do you want all NSFW stuff, or something more specific.
The downside is that it could get complicated to maintain a good tag structure, plus you might run into scenarios where 1 subtag might fall under more categories. In that case a "Parent 1-x> Child tree" doesn't work anymore, and you'll end up making an "Parent x-x> Child structure" - which is even more difficult to maintain
The argument against tags, is that posts are already categorized by communities. Though not everything, and not every niche thing needs it's own community in my opinion. Look at !programming@programming.dev for example - a "general purpose community". Just taking the top 2 posts there, you could still create a similar note-tree tag structure there like:
- Programming
- IDEs
- VSCode
- VSCodium
- VSCode
- Code Style
- Tabs VS Spaces
- IDEs
These tags could still be "communities", but communities are non-hierarchical, and at what point to we really need an extreme niche "Tabs VS Spaces" community? If there would be a tag system like this, people could select the "Code Style" tag, and see posts under that tag plus all child tags.
This is just an idea for tag structuring, the concepts of ACLs of "who can make these tags" and "who can move around tags" or "who can append new child tags" - and "Introducing new child tags could require reordering the parent content into those tags" is an whole other discussion
So, title question. I know I could try to throw money at Instagram, TikTok and Youtube (know your target audience),
Besides throwing money at a third party, you could just do it yourself. I don't really use TikTok anymore, but I used to see a lot of "Watch people program" style TikToks where developers show their game in progress, together with some explanation of something challenging they recently build.
If your game is cool, showing some "In progress" / "Making off" videos gets people excited about the game before it's release
But like you said, it depends on your target audience. Something like that would end up in the algorithm for "Programming TikTok".
I don't know if there's a "definitive guide" - it's not that complicated to get a torrent client up and running. What kind of content are you looking for? Movies, Series, Music, Games, Books..?
Best is probably to try to get access to a decent private tracker, and an "easy" one - one with a bonus point system for seeding and uptime - that makes it much easier to keep a good ratio with a NAS, if you're just permanently seeding everything you download, you'll get points and "rise the ranks" of that tracker.
Once you're a high enough rank on that tracker, you'll get access to their "Invite Forums" where other private trackers advertise and give out invites to their trackers
What software/OS are you running on your NAS? If you're running some goofy software on a private tracker your client might not be whitelisted.
Besides that - this NAS is attached to your home network I assume? Is it behind a router? Are the ports you're using for torrenting port-forwarded?
What tracker are you testing this on? A bunch of trackers will have a "Connectivity check" that will tell you whether or not your client is connectable
What /u/FishInABarrel@kbin.social mentioned - that's correct. But to elaborate: The icon image isn't simply stored as an image, but kinda complex (out of scope to explain the whole concept, but you can read more about it here
What windows does the first time it comes across a new .exe, is extract the image, because this is an "expensive" process, it's optimized to not do this every time, and instead the extracted image is dumped into
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorerin one of the iconcache.db files.When you recompile an exe with the same name but will a new icon, it will actually have a new icon, it's just not shown, because the old icon is retrieved from the iconcache.db. You can get around this by deleting all your iconcache.db files
I also need something in case I make everything "from scratch", like just compiling something from the command line.
Also, even if you compile from the console, you can usually still specify an icon on compile time, and don't really have to inject it later after compiling. But of course that depends on the language / compiler on how you'd have to do that
Suggestions for being able to recreate your own websites:
- Own local backup
- Copy from Wayback - https://web.archive.org/
YIKES... This shows the importance of keeping backups in a different cloud, or on-premise or something - and not trust one provider with your entire company / website
It's not game changing because someone else tried to do this and failed
Kind of a weird point to try and make no?
Well I didn't say that they tried and failed... Kind of weird to insert your own interpretation and then conclude it's a weird one, no?
You can still use Download OzCode, and they've posted a key to use their software for free:
