What do you mean by “doesn’t read from the same directory”? Is part of your application’s function to read in data from files in your project’s directory tree?

Without seeing the directory structure of your project, or some more actual code samples its hard to understand how to help 😅

That is amazing! Now, I need to see about using weather satellites to explain the bugs in my code at work…

Wow that’s nice! I get 600/25mbps for $80USD in the US, coax 😞 wish fiber-to-the-premise was a possibility in my neighborhood

10Gb to the home? Where have you seen this, and.for how much? I had no idea that was a thing for residential

Ahh I missed that!

Makes more sense then – that seemed a bit long for any update

I booted up that system and after waiting an hour or so for Windows Update to finish

… 🙄

Crazy workstation though – wish I had need for all that power so I could justify buying one to play with

Overwatch 2 (unranked) on PS5 (mostly a way to hang with my brother who lives in another country)

And also MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries on my Linux laptop

Love your username—I really wish Jim Butcher would finish the final Dresden books! The Mechwarrior: Dark Age novels can be read without the other ones I think…

A friend has recommended both the Blood of Kerensky and Gray Death Legion trilogies in the BattleTech series—which should be standalone?—and I’m looking forward to reading them as well!

I am on book #16 of the Mechwarrior: Dark Age BattleTech novels. Not high literature or anything, just sci-fi and big robots with lasers! The setting and technology is interesting, and there are several different authors who wrote the series. The changing writing styles and voices switch things up enough to keep me reading.

Me and my brother would sit in the magazine aisle at the grocery store and pore over Nintendo Power like it was a religious text lol

Also, you just made me remember getting all those demo discs with PlayStation magazine

I used RedReader for many years. It’s one of the few apps that was given an accessibility exclusion, but I still don’t want to get back on Reddit. Now I’m currently trying out Connect, Liftoff, Jerboa, and others to see which I like the best for Lemmy.

Yes I’ve used rename! In my case, I just need to rename and reorganize a bunch of movies & associated metadata files into directories. I don’t have too many stored digitally now, so I think just shaving the yak and doing it manually via file share will work for now.

Never been an emacs user… Seems like quite a rabbit hole

I’ll look into sequelize! Also, we are undergoing a training right now. I have some previous experience from $lastJob with k8s, but I’m sure my knowledge is out of date so glad to be doing it.

Helix + zellij huh? I’ll definitely try it out

Laziness so far haha but yes that’s a good plan

Though we are moving to kubernetes & helm soon, currently we use migration scripting tools (like alembic) for schema and data migration on app start, and our infrastructure/devops team uses ansible for deployment. Currently, we don’t have CI/CD straight to production—it’s still a manual process—but I hope to change that as our organization starts using k8s.

• William E. Shotts Jr., The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction

It has taken me a long time to get comfortable using a Linux CLI (definitely not as familiar with windows cmd prompt/powershell), and I know that if I log into a box anywhere, If it has sh or bash or some variant of those shells, I’ll be able to get by.

Now, on my home server, moving & renaming a bunch of media files has me really wishing I had a DE installed there to Ctrl + click/Drag-n-drop…

Also, I love using VScodium/Code as an IDE bc of its configurability & rich plugin ecosystem – but recently I had some performance hiccups with extensions not playing nice together and started (again) down the masochistic path of configuring neovim to use as an “IDE”…

Well, a good way to start is just to go to https://www.rust-lang.org/ There they have a link to the rust book and a rustlings course which are a good way to dip your toes in.

I learn best by making and breaking stuff, so I did a bunch of Advent Of Code challenges in Rust to get used to the paradigms & syntax. If you don’t mind paying a bit, I got a lot out of these two books:

• Rust in Action by Tim McNamara
  • focuses on lower-level concepts & has you build some small projects
• Hands-On-Rust by Herbert Wolverson
  • focuses on developing a rogue-like terminal-based game using a Rust game engine. Great introduction, and at the end you have a working, modifiable game!

Once you are more familiar with the language, I love watching John Gjengset’s Crust of Rust YouTube channel to watch how a senior developer approaches problem solving in the language, as well as how he maintains his (numerous) open-source Rust libraries.

I hope any/all of these resources are useful to you!

I agree with the other comments in this thread pointing you to Rust as a strongly-tyoed, compiled language to learn. It’s already popular, and only growing! I’m only average at it but hope to contribute to Lemmy’s source here soon.
