Programming

I have a feeling I'm stuck in tutorial hell, and I need to start actually building things. But I don't know where to start :/

Also I'm really bad at syntax. I only know concepts like for loops, while loops, if-elif-elses, etc...

So maybe something that helps me learn more about coding syntax would be helpful.

Thanks!

Hey, I made a thing! It's called doink. Doink gives you dynamic git remotes by using DNS TXT records as pointers.

I wrote a bit about how it works and what it's useful for.

Anyway, do you ever thing about how DNS is a basically a decentralized key-value database? I think about it a lot :)

A design flaw – or expected behavior based on a bad design choice, depending on who is telling the story – baked into Anthropic's official Model Context Protocol (MCP) puts as many as 200,000 servers at risk of complete takeover, according to security researchers.

Found this gem. A single well made video in a channel. The Channel owner probably made this channel just to house one video I guess.

I havent watched it all the way through but it seems to have alot of substance. By the looks of it the guy probably has spent atleast a year developing professionally in C++ and is pretty pissed to make that video as a ventfest

See if you cant agree with something he said

I'm wondering too what you are looking for in a font. Good looks, features, options to enable or disable, ligatures?

How do I convert a batch of .pngs into a single .apng?

I'm trying to get to a reason on this, but my point reach to a limit.

I've the feels that scraping the internet for public accessible data, like for example open and public music on Spotify wouldn't be a crime, but the distribution would be. At the same token, this is seem as a crime, while Google does the same and nothing happens, even worse, if this get regulated, Google would have a huge advantage on anyone else.

So, my deeper question is: "Is copyright dead?"

In this pre-paid self-own, I study security vulnerability through the lens of self-flagellation. I go through a lot of trouble to make life worse for me and my antediluvian website's users (AS USUAL).

Brilliant and very funny video.

Hello All

I am someone who graduated some time back and was not able to score their first job in the field. I am recently getting back into programming a bit more as a hobby. In particular I am toying around with Rust and a bit of C#.

Was wondering what books you all used for data and algo class? It would be good if you know some with those languages in mind, but otherwise just a book that is more generic would be great too.

Is anyone working on a project/looking to create a project that's open to collaborators?

My own last post on this sub had many interesting commenters so I'm curious what you all could be cooking up? I hope you leave a comment

I have a decent bit of spare time and a lot of ideas, if your looking to dm me then feel free :v

Edit: yall are still kinda weird, We cant be getting mad at people for not saving others 2 clicks, its overly confrontational and weird. just chill we got way bigger issues bro, we need to join the united front

While the Meson build system has been capturing much of the limelight in recent years by open-source projects, the cross-platform CMake build system also shows no signs of slowing down and continues evolving with new features and functionality.

Since the CMake 4.0 release last year it has continued to iterate and last month released CMake 4.3 that brought the rather interesting import/export support using the Common Package Specification. The Common Package Specification (CPS) is a JSON-based format also being worked on by the CMake developers at Kitware for offering greater interoperability with other projects from package managers to handling software dependency descriptions for C/C++. Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation is also another experimental feature of the new CMake 4.3.
