I am liking Cinnamon, for me it is fast and only lagged once (because of Chrome).
I can’t make any conclusive results since I’ve installed Mint about an hour before I made post 6069 (8160 on the URL), and for me, I distrohop (even going back to Windows) every now and then because I like the idea of trying some other distros. I stick mainly with Ubuntu/Debian-based distros since almost all the software is in APT.
Also, is it only for me or is there a refreshed Hosting Accounts section on the Client Area? I think the survey is making some results!
I never use chrome on Linux disteis, it has never ended well for me (one time I killed apt doing so).
I do like Ubuntu because of the wide range of support it has, but I also like Arch because of how barebones it is, and you really don’t need any extra packages for it (I can see how it would be good for a web server).
I just spent about an hour trying to cast a video from my iPad to a Roku box. And I finally got it working by using some hackey method that only works in the photos app. So now I have to download these 3GB video files from my flash drive onto the photos app since ****** roku won’t let me just cast it from the files app.
In other news, I still, can’t code JavaScript and it’s starting to drive me insane (If you wanted good news, you are not getting it here)
I first had the idea to make a simple HTML (I would make it in 5 minutes and it would be wonderful)
in which I would insert a few iframes and later play a little with the width and height so that I arrange those windows from various websites inside one window
but I quickly gave up because nowadays none of those tools (DNS sites etc.) allow them to be inside someone else’s website (X-Frame-Options: DENY)
Then I tried to do it in some exe
I already had one existing project that is 10 years old hahaha
and it was able to work, but many JS errors started popping up
probably the browser support (some engine) at that time could not deal with today’s pages or the language has changed.
something similar to the info from the CA (domain checker) that the admin made
but then anyone would have to have a local server running PHP and XY complication.
And I didn’t feel like making parsers that would chew up the feedback into a short meaningful answer that would be shown somewhere. And somehow it would be too dry and confusing to read a bunch of texts without the freedom of choice that is available in what I have done right now.
and that (also the one from CA) does not support international domain names (special characters) and before that, the input should be converted to ASCII with the help of this
because it has the necessary things (while other languages don’t have native support for what I needed) and of course for speed. not all languages are equally fast.
in order not to waste time on the GUI, I used a third party to create the visual part that also does the errors part, etc. Also it has support for hardware acceleration (uses GPU unit, etc.)
which is quite important if you run websites, asynchronous tasks (execution), and so on…
Then added some things like mouse double click
which will enlarge windows, etc., and other things that make work easier…
I wrote also some logic with javascript
if someone presses enter
capture content from txtinputbox1
pass that data to all widgets and update content
and each widget (website windows) has defined SRC (to nothing)
to which I add the content from txtinputbox1
meaning:
The GUI engine name of a specific element captures the content when the enter key is pressed
silly example:
var domain = page1.txtinputbox1(entered data);
var work = “hxxps://digwebinterface.com/?hostnames=”+domain+“&type=NS&trace=on&ns=resolver&useresolver=1.1.1.1&nameservers=”;
return work;
pass(set) the variable “work” as the source URL for that widget
Of course, there are many better websites (online tools) to get information
but I had to use only those that allow me to manipulate the content via URL (query)
and those who don’t greet you with the question “are you a robot?”
If someone tells you he knows 100% or 50% or 20% or 5% (FOR ANY LANGUAGE) they lie to you !
They do not understand how huge it is!
It has something to do with my post at the beginning of this month where I also talked about intelligence.
An intelligent person knows how little he knows (because after every answer he finds, 100 new questions appear)
while the “fool” makes (copy-paste) a couple of javascript and thinks he knows that language and is so confident that he tells everyone that he knows 80% (or 100%).
When you are somewhat familiar with any OOP language, then another language is not so much a problem for you.
I wouldn’t call the syntax a problem either…
In my opinion, knowing a programming language means being familiar with its APIs,interfaces, classes, methods, etc.
For example, you are working on a program in Java
which at some point needs to open a file on the host, write some text inside and save that file as 123.txt.
You will not write code for your program to communicate with the host and how to find that file, open it, etc.
rather, you use ready-made APIs, classes, etc,
and just “import” them at the beginning of your code
import java.io.* (* = all)
and then additionally you need to know which class to use
which of course branches so that it is only a parent, and after DOT a bunch of children are opened and so on
but every normal IDE lists that as soon as you write the first few letters (CTRL + SPACE = Code completion)
but even there you need to be somewhat familiar and know what to write down.
And now I’m back to that 2%
There are so many ready-made “packages of code” (in the documentation)
written so that you waste a lot of time reading the documentation on how to use some of it
and in fact it would be faster and easier for you to write your own.
of course for some smaller things,
which is often a double-edged sword (it’s better to use ready-made and security-checked code,
than to write your own and thereby open some security hole, but on the other hand, by doing so, you make less progress in some knowledge)
A normal person cannot store it all in the brain and also learn it
instead, you will have some “code” that you use most often and with which you are somewhat familiar
and for everything else, as a beginner, you simply have to sit down and read the manual.
Also what you learned today - after 5 years is obsolete (deprecated)
so you are always a beginner
and because of that, to claim that you know a certain language falls into the water.
That’s why we actually divide into sub-branches
you have those who do desktop applications, those who do mobile, those who do frontend, those who do backend, and so on…
In the sense that you are simply more specialized in one small segment that some programming language offers.
Just as we have musicians who create a piece of classical music, and one who creates some electro.
they both know something (something “basic”).
But what would you say if someone who makes 100 EDM songs
says he knows everything about classical music and Bach?
And in fact, in the whole process of creating his music, he turns a couple of potentiometers and clicks here and there with the mouse.
To conclude:
You simply cannot know everything, you can only be narrowly specialized in something.
Open in VS “win32 with form” project does not require any knowledge
and here you already have an application(exe) that has a GUI and comes out with a query (input txt label).
It would be pretentious of me to claim to know something
Especially with the things that no one really uses.
Like, did you know that there is a with keyword in JS?
No one uses it.
I don’t really know how to use it.
So again, yeah. Referring to “knowing” the language as “knowing everything about it,” you will never know everything about it. What about frameworks? Libraries? Extensions?
No one will know all.
But still, I do not know very much C++ at all. I would rather learn C, but once you know another language it’s hard to put yourself in the newbie seat and start over, knowing all that you can do once equipped but also the struggle to learn it.
I’m sure any of us here wrote some part of the program code without understanding that code at all
you know it has to be written that way to do something you want
so it’s actually enough to just edit some variable to “combine two things” and get some function that will do something you want.
maybe it’s a waste to spend time understanding in detail what’s happening inside the code, not to mention really understanding what’s in the JIT, memory, garbage collector, etc.
because some language should be seen as a means of transport
just as many take a plane/bus from point A to point B without understanding how it works at all
it exists to turn an idea into something as quickly and easily as possible
Does anyone know where is jaikrishna.t ? he has been gone for more than a month
fine
