Should we be wary of Red Hat? in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] somegeek@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

IBM is giving us(tge FOSS and Linux world) technical advancements and money but is taking away the Freedom part more and more.

They are locking in linux and the ecosystem according to their own business needs. Gnome, systemd, or most other redhat products, you can see how inconpatible they are with other software and go their own way, which affects the whole Linux world.

I personally really dislike redhat and IBM. Specially IBM itself is an absolute governmental piece of shit with a history not much better than microsoft and facebook.

The first year of free-threaded Python in c/python@programming.dev

That's one of the main pain points of Python. Something like poetry or uv can help but the python ecosystem is just unstable. It's very hard to update a dependancy. You project might only run with very specific versions of libraries and the language itself.

I honestly hate that about python and I don't think python is good for developing large software. Even js/ts is a much better ecosystem. (I'm bracing for the hate)

Couldn't agree with this more.

Every time I create a website, I first create it with only HTML. If it looks right and makes sense, then I will add CSS. If it looks good and works fine, then I will add JS.

why should we sort 2024-day1 ? (programming.dev)

Hi guys.

I just did day1 of 2024 (I know, I'm late) this might be a dumb question but I reallydont understand why we should sort the two lists before substracting? I created some test cases with 10-20 items and calculated them manually, if you don't sort the list and just add all list1 items and substract from the sum of list2, you get the same answer. But it doesn't work with the large input file.

Let's say list1 has elements (a,b,c,d) and list2 has (e,f,g,h).

(a-e)+(b-f)+(c-g)+(d-h) = a-e+b-f+c-g+d-h = (a+b+c+d)-(e+f+g+h)

So the sorting shouldn't matter. Right? But it does. Am I too bad at basic math?

Hi Redshift isn't maintained anymore and lately redshift-gtk doesnt start anymore (something about a python circular dependancy).

Hi guys.

FOSS DEX alternative? Linux on android? (programming.dev)
 

Hi everybody. I have a rooted phone and I was thinking, If I can spin up something like Samsung DEX on my phone, alongside my android, that uses Linux, I can do 80% of my work just with my phone. Is that doable? Can someone provide me with more information?

Focalboard administration (programming.dev)
 

Hi guys. I want to deploy focalboard as a replacement for trello in our company, my confusion is : How can I manage the focalboard instance? (Doccker) For example manage boards, manage users, limit user access so anyone from the web can't just register and use our instance.

I asked in the mattermost groups but the support groups are totally dead. No response.
