Programming@programming.dev•Seeking help making a short demo video for a Windows app hosted on GitHub
3·1 month agoYou don’t need a video. You need marketing & communication 101. During covid I am sure some professors uploaded lectures to youtube, or pick up the book if it’s more your jam. Think about what you want to communicate to a person coming across your project for the first time. Make bullet points and rank them. Then begin writing including all the information in that order.
A good readme would be sufficient. Go to some popular project and copy their structure of its readme in your project.

Programming@programming.dev•How many new lines of code does an average Linux kernel developer produce per year?
51·2 months ago-
You are mixing up the units here. Value is not a real money, and you can’t pay salaries with value. You can pay salaries with cash.
-
To actually get how many LOC in a kernel per person per year they produce. You need to look at git history, and do data science on it. It’s doable and easy but not really my area of expertise.
-
You need to account for that vast majority of contributors make just one patch and they are never heard from again. They don’t work full time, or even part time on the kernel.

It makes sense in Terry A. Davis/Temple OS sense. Someone mentally ill needs everything to be symmetrical. They substitute o with Ⓞ in www.gⓄⓄgle.com I think they use fancy unicode to have a bearable symmetrical font; And someday they found that they can upload stuff to github and they upload what they made.
At first glance there is a lot of noise that look like an ARG but there is just too much random stuff. There are some binary blobs that are marked as executable. They might be malware.
Edit:
Found blender screenshots, firefox screenshots with some firefox extension config files, SVGs and PNGs, links to alternative 4chans, solidworks tutorials and blender VK groups
They are crazy for using VERY heavily riced windows that is ultra-minimalist white.
Russian hacker for sure. Might or might not have developed malware. I am more inclined for this to be a cloud backup hosted on github.
Edit2: The Filepath is crazy

Programming@programming.dev•How would you design online communities so they don't degenerate over time?
1·2 months agoIf you have time you could implement an experiment in piefed or lemmy to test how it feels.
Would this actually prevent the decay, or just slow it down?
Is there a simpler/better mechanism I’m missing?I guess there are sociology books written about it, but I don’t know any.

Programming@programming.dev•What's your approach to monitoring side projects without overengineering it?
2·2 months agoI have my (1) project as homepage, if it doesn’t load on browser startup then I have ze problem. (I am a monster with disabled tab restoring.)
IDK what I will do if I will have more than one, but that’s future me problem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatbot_psychosis
I would STRONGLY advise to not use LLMs and chatbots then. There are early studies that link chat bot use to making some mental disorders worse. There is no link yet to actually induce one in a healthy individual, but you are not one, and I would mark it as potential risk for you.supplemental tools for my lack of higher education
Chatbots might seem smart, inteligent and educated, as they are using fancy and complicated words, but it’s a lie. They don’t know what they are talking about, they will be sycophantic to you and agree with every falsehood that it might came across.
You can pursue higher education without paying a dime. You won’t get fancy paper, but you can build an expertise yourself. There are plenty of textbooks out there. openstax.org is great resource to get high quality textbooks. I have watched lectures on youtube to get an education that wasn’t available for me at the time. No one will be able to take that knowledge from you.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•To Lemmy people who came from reddit: Have you guys tried other fedi software like mastodon or sharkey?
2·9 months agoyeah, I tested most of the software, and still use Mastodon and Wafrn. I use mastodon to follow a hashtag, but it didn’t deliver what it promised. Few major tech youtubers bounced back from it due extreme toxicity.
Wafrn is super wacky software. You can play doom and bite people. It has rage-bait driven development* and connects to bluesky and fediverse at the same time without a bridge.
Bookwyrm and Piefed didn’t deliver what I would want from their respective domains.

It’s new funny number. Why it’s funny? No one knows or it’s funny because the kids decided that it is.
