Programming

Let's say I have to host 25 websites.. How do I know how powerful should my VPS be? Which specs it should have, how fast the connection should be to handle X visits per day?

Hi! I'm trying to achieve this configuration: essentially all the traffic in the network should pass the content filtering in the proxy, assume I have control over the clients. All not proxied traffic should be blocked by default.

After finding myself another time completely sucked by all the internet bullshit, finding a huge difficulty doing whichever task involves using a computer, I think I am finally sure to address the need of better moderation on the internet.

What are some programming languages that reuse most of the syntax of another (rather than just a few elements of it?)

Intent is to remember years later what specific tasks I had, even if I've left the company and no longer have access to my files. It's been very useful during interviews when asked about details of what I did, and in conversation with friends who want to know what my day to day is like. I've learned that this journal has to be kept in a personal space so that I won't lose access to it during layoffs, for example. Do you have any similar habits? What are your policies?

Even through it has some flaws, e.g. it's not fully memory safe (there are some programming languages that are even safer, like Ada)?

Refactoring gets really bad reviews, but from where I'm sitting as a hobby programmer in relative ignorance it seems like it *should* be easier, because you could potentially reuse a lot of code. Can someone break it down for me?

Let's say you decide to learn programming. You have two options. Either use the education system (college or courses) or become self-taught. In the first case, you will learn the programming languages that are imposed on you. The education system (universities, colleges, courses) uses the "modern" development stack. Because what matters to them is what can later bring income to companies and you in life, and taxes to the state. They are part of the system and that's how it works. Or because they want to get certificates from industry giants and use everything in their implementation - from development tools to ideology. Only a very few colleges and courses specializing in a very narrow field, such as embedded devices, can teach you the C language.

Why am I writing this post? Not because I hope for something or believe in change. These are just words. I could write this at the end, but then you would be looking for answers for me while reading, and I don’t need them. They won’t change anything. So here it is. I don’t claim to be a software development guru or a C language expert. I’m just a simple developer.

There are a lot of questions and intentions to move into gamedev from developers who are burnt out at their jobs. And that’s okay. From my own experience, I have a couple of pieces of advice that are not very professional.

I'm designing a webapp that is supposed to be an AR environment on your phone, to be viewed with something like Google Cardboard, but I am having an issue that the segmentPointer object that is meant to appear when clicking on an object is not.

I followed the recommended processes for adding images to my app, and it is being displayed correctly on the layout preview, but not at all on the app. I have vector assets, webp, png images, but none are being displayed.

Hello my fellow, lemons? I have this problem in my current project I’m out of clue how to approach it. Maybe someone had similar experience and can give an advice.

Considering how SO is killing itself rather quickly, it would be interesting to have a platform with similar structure but taking users interests instead of profit of executives. I am not saying their system is perfect, I have made a post in the past on their meta community regarding how hard it is for new contributors to start. I remember hearing about an alternative but after searching for it, I couldn't find anything.

Does anyone know, or can anyone guess, the business case for predictive text? On phone apps, it is often incredibly difficult to turn off. Why is that, do you think? (The examples I have recent experience with are Facebook and Outlook mobile apps.)

I need to help auditing a project from another team. I got the pointers on what's expected to be checked, but I don't have like templates for documents for what's expected from an audit report which also means I'm not sure what's the usual process to conduct an internal audit. I mean I might as well read the whole repo, but maybe that's too much?

Hello everyone, I have an idea to make a map with fog of war, when you walk you explore new areas and points of interest but you can't see unexplored areas. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, what is your opinion?

I have a script that duplicates a Word doc template and renames each using a csv file with a list of names. What would be the equivalent code if instead of a csv file I use a text file?
