Looks just like VS Code and I think it's still built on electron so take that as you will.

I'm trying to make minesweeper using rust and bevy, but it feels that my code is bloated (a lot of for loops, segments that seem to be repeating themselves, etc.)

When I look at other people's code, they are using functions that I don't really understand (map, zip, etc.) that seem to make their code faster and cleaner.

I know that I should look up the functions that I don't understand, but I was wondering where you would learn stuff like that in the first place. I want to learn how to find functions that would be useful for optimizing my code.

When resizing an X11 window with OpenGL content, the image becomes garbled and certain parts of the window, usually at the parts that wasn't originally part of the initial framebuffer.

I couldn't find any documentation on if I supposed to call some extra functions when the window is being resized or not. I otherwise process that even as a system event, so it can be further processed by the program using my API.

I'm writing a specification for a web app that will store sensitive user data, and the stakeholder asked that I consider a number of fairly standard security practices, but also including that the data be "encrypted at rest", i.e. so that if someone gains physical access to the hard disk at some later date the user data can't be retrieved.

The app is to be Node/Express on a VPS (probably against sqlite3), so since I would be doing that using an environmental variable stored in a file on that same computing instance, is that really providing any extra security?

I guess cloud big boys would be using key management systems to move the key off the local instance, and I could replicate that by using (Hashicorp Vault?) or building a service to keep the key elsewhere, but then I'd need secure access to that service, which once again would involve a key being stored locally.

What's your thoughts, experience, or usual practice around this?

I'm working on a little gui app that will eventually (hopefully) add a watermark to a photo. But right now I'm focused on just messing around with tkinter and trying to get some basic functionality down.

I've managed to display an image. Now I want to change the image to whatever is in the Entry widget (ideally, the user would put an absolute path to an image and nothing else). When I click the button, it makes the image disappear. I made it also create a plain text label to see if that would show up. It did.

Okay, time to break out the big guns. Add a breakpoint. py -m pdb main.py. it works. wtf?

python def change_image(): new_image = Image.open(image_path.get()).resize((480, 270)) new_tk_image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(new_image) test_image_label.configure(image=new_tk_image) breakpoint()

with the breakpoint, the button that calls change_image works as expected. But without the breakpoint, it just makes the original image disappear. Please help me understand what is happening!

edit: all the code

```python import io import tkinter as tk from pathlib import Path from tkinter import ttk

from PIL import ImageTk from PIL import Image

from LocalImage import Localimage from Layout import Layout

class State: def init(self) -> None: self.chosen_image_path = ""

def update_image_path(self): self.chosen_image_path = image_path.get()

def change_image(): new_image = Image.open(image_path.get()).resize((480, 270)) new_tk_image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(new_image) test_image_label.configure(image=new_tk_image) breakpoint()

TEST_PHOTO_PATH = "/home/me/bg/space.png" PIL_TEST_PHOTO_PATH = "/home/me/bg/cyberpunkcity.jpg" pil_test_img = Image.open(PIL_TEST_PHOTO_PATH).resize((480,270))

why does the resize method call behave differently when i inline it

instead of doing pil_test_img.resize() on a separate line?

root = tk.Tk()

root.title("Watermark Me") mainframe = ttk.Frame(root, padding="3 3 12 12") mainframe.grid(column=0, row=0, sticky="NWES")

layout = Layout(mainframe)

image_path = tk.StringVar() tk_image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(pil_test_img) test_image_label = ttk.Label(image=tk_image)

I have created this app for javascript beginners. Users can attempt daily quiz and see the explanation after each answer. Also providing the frequently used code snippets, you can download beautiful images of code snippets and quiz. Please provide your feedback.

Does anyone else find javascript/electron-based code editors confusing? I can never understand the organization/hierarchies of menus, buttons, windows, tabs. All my time is spent hunting through the interface. My kingdom for a normal dialogue box!

I've tried and failed to use VSCodium on a bunch of occasions for this reason. And a couple other ones. It's like the UI got left in the InstaPot waaaay too long and now it's just a soggy stewy mess.

Today I finally thought I'd take the first step toward android development. Completing a very simple hello world tutorial is proving to be challenging just because the window I see doesn't precisely correspond to the screenshots. Trying to find the buttons/menus/tools is very slow as I am constantly getting lost. I only ever have this in applications with javascript-based UIs

Questions:

1. Am I the only one who faces this challenge?

2. Do I have to use Android Studio or it there some kind of native linux alternative?

edited to reflect correction that Android Studio is not electron

Hi, I'm looking to open-source a small CLI application I wrote and I'm struggling with how to provide the built app since just providing the binary will not work. I had a friend test it and he had to compile from source due to glibc version differences.

My first thought was providing it as a flatpak but that isn't really suitable for CLI software.

I've googled around a bit and most guides I find just mention packaging separately for multiple package managers/formats (rpm, apt etc.). This seems really inefficient/hard to maintain. What is the industry standard for packaging a Linux software for multi-distro use?

Hi everyone,

TL;DR Completely new to coding and programming, but I want to learn enough to be able to run a home server, my own website and tinker a bit with Arduino. Is there any programming language or path that you could recommend?

I don't know if those things are related or not. I've been looking at books a bout Arduino, but it's just following instructions to do xyz, but not explanation of the basics.

About the server and website, I've wanted to try it out since I stumbled upon the Low tech magazine. Many of the projects there and the philosophy behind it speak to me, so I would like to be more knowledgeable about it and be able to do some stuff myself.

EDIT. You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for the replies. It’s so cool to see Lemmy populated with cool people willing to chat and put knowledge in common :) I might be updating this post when I get to do something about… well all the resources you gave me!

That's ok. Borrowing it with (&prev_data.kind, ...) fixes the problem just fine, though that can cause issues if I then want to move the variable within the match statement, which was generally the idea of the logic I was trying to write. > > What got me was that the same logic but with nested match statements works just fine. > > I'm still not clear on this, but it seems that the inline tuple in the second tuple-based approach is a variable that takes ownership of the variables assigned to it.

hello guys. i am trying to match one or more digit from end of string ``` import re

print(re.match(r'\d+$', "hello001")) print(re.match(r'[0-9]+$', "hello001")) ``` output None from both print statement. I've tried my regex on regex101.com and it seems working probably.

What are some tips and tricks and best practices with rust?

Also, I'm used to clearly defined classes and implementation files with C++. Are there any tips and tricks on that with Rust? I haven't found any decent commentary/ documentation on figuring this out correctly with Rust. Yes, I know Rust is not an oop language, but I'm having issues creating clear separation of files so they don't become a scrolling dungeon.

I want to learn how to build integrations, such as how to connect two systems made by different companies that have different structures.

For example: To cut down on redundant data entry, I want to build an integration where the data is pushed from one software to another software. The integration would put the data from the source software into the correct fields in the destination software.

How do I go about learning how to build integrations? What classes to even start with?

I appreciate any guidance you can provide.

Edit: Thanks a bunch for the suggestions. I'm checking out those tools suggested in the comments and looking up classes to learn the skills needed.

I get postman exports from students which I use to check their work. The authorisation of those requests now often contain hardcoded jwt tokens that are invalid by the time I get to checking them and I have to change every individual request with a global variable.

I do instruct my students to use variables, but there's always a couple who just don't, but that's a whole different issue.

Right now I'm using a regex find and replace to remove the Request authorization header in the json export file (which than defaults to 'inherit from parent'). This sort of works, but isn't ideal.

Do any of you know if postman offers an easier solution for this?

I'm a seasoned programmer on Mac/Linux/iOS, and want to get into Windows application programming. Problem is, every time I try, Microsoft comes in a week later and discontinues the current framework in favor of something else. Because I need to use a C++ library, I started with C++/CX, just to be told C++/WinRT was the way to go etc.

I've lost track of what the current one is now and what has been discontinued, and can't for the life of me find recent information on the web.

Anyone here know where I can find info on what's the current one? It seems C# is still the main language, but what UI framework does one use? It used to be UWP, but now it seems WPF is back ... ?

My constraints are: I'm making Windows desktop applications, I need to be able to call into C++, and I want it to look like a modern application. I also need to create my UI from code (based on files provided by the user), not from XAML files.

I realize this is a very broad question, so to help I'll mention that my primary experience with any programming language is Python. I've looked into C and C++ as well, but I haven't written much in them; in part because they're more involved, and in part because I get lost in the IDE weeds with'em (whether choosing an IDE or getting it configured to even get started tbh, but that's mostly a different topic).

In Python I know there's an option in Tkinter, and I've worked with it to some extent but never got entirely comfortable with it. Maybe it would be best to try making some more stuff with it instead of bouncing around different things, but would that be advisable over something that may be better suited to the task?

If it would be better to stick with it, what might be some things you wish you'd known starting out with GUI programming (whether particular to Python or generally applicable)?

I know how to implement basic oauth. My problem is that if I make a simple security filter like:

` @Bean

public SecurityFilterChain configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception { http .authorizeHttpRequests(authorize -> authorize .anyRequest().authenticated() ) .oauth2Login(withDefaults()); return http.build(); }`

Than I can adress @GetMappings in my browser and get prompted a oauth login screen and login there, but I can't adress a PostMapping or GetMapping in postman, because it doesn't redirect to a login screen (you get the html for the login screen as the ResponseBody in postman)

I can get a valid acces token from auth0 via 'https://{yourDomain}/oauth/token', but if I simply pass that jwt along as a "Bearer token" in postman, it doesn't work. It still shows me the login-screen-html in the response body.

It seems to me there's two things I can do:

• Make sure postman bypasses the login screen. I maybe don't really want to do that, since I want my backend and frontend to communicate their security through jwt. Or else I have to convince other people (from a different department) to change the way they implement frontend security, which is a pain for everyone. (If it needs to happen, it needs to happen though)
• Make sure the backend parses the jwt somehow. Maybe an extra Filter that checks the jwt's validity with the provider? I'm not sure how to tackle this.

I was exploring an obscure Linux distro when I noticed they're contact page had an IRC client. You can connect to the IRC via Matrix, but the people there prefer pure IRC.

My question is do other programmers use IRC? Also why?

I decided to go for kotlin as my first language because I had ideas for a mobile app. I quickly learned that android dev isn't the best starting point, and I'm not a fan of the lack of choice I have for editors with it. I only really know some basics, I used to know some javascript but forgot it

It's about asking, "how does this algorithm behave when the number of elements is significantly large compared to when the number of elements is orders of magnitude larger?"

Big O notation is useless for smaller sets of data. Sometimes it's worse than useless, it's misguiding. This is because Big O is only an estimate of asymptotic behavior. An algorithm that is O(n^2) can be faster than one that's O(n log n) for smaller sets of data (which contradicts the table below) if the O(n log n) algorithm has significant computational overhead and doesn't start behaving as estimated by its Big O classification until after that overhead is consumed.

This looks like a great starting point for people with little to no experience with programming to learn to program using Python.

Everything taught by futurecoder.io can be used locally on your own computer. But futurecoder.io doesn't show you how to install Python on your machine but you can fill in that gap with the information provided @ https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download

Other resources are provided on the python.org Beginners Guide if needed.

This looks like a good entry point for people that want to get into embedded software with a course on Arduino hardware fundamentals.

It's a 10 hour course that includes 14 hands on projects.
