Considering how SO is killing itself rather quickly, it would be interesting to have a platform with similar structure but taking users interests instead of profit of executives. I am not saying their system is perfect, I have made a post in the past on their meta community regarding how hard it is for new contributors to start....

Does anyone know, or can anyone guess, the business case for predictive text? On phone apps, it is often incredibly difficult to turn off. Why is that, do you think? (The examples I have recent experience with are Facebook and Outlook mobile apps.)...

Hello everyone, I have an idea to make a map with fog of war, when you walk you explore new areas and points of interest but you can’t see unexplored areas. I’m not sure if it’s a good idea, what is your opinion?

I have a script that duplicates a Word doc template and renames each using a csv file with a list of names. What would be the equivalent code if instead of a csv file I use a text file?...

Hello! I’ll try to explain what I’m looking for: I sometimes have to write simple web pages (not just text, also buttons and video players and so on), but I really really hate writing html code. What I’m used to is QML, which I like a lot, because of the ease of placing objects exactly where I need using the anchors and...

I’m digging into the world of #FOSS #opensource and would like to help with existing projects. My programming chops are not sharp yet, but I’m a detail-oriented communicator who knows a bit about user testing....

EDIT: Thanks y’all! I got this working by installing mutt and configuring it with my Gmail info. Please note the warning from u/jherazob below–if this were something mission critical I would not want to rely on this solution....

Preamble: I’m sure there’s a better community to ask this question, comment below if you’re aware of it....

A friend of mine is interested in the “sovereign artist” model, which basically means that you self publish and self release your own work on your own website, as opposed to using a publishing house or art gallery....

Hi. Is there some fully FOSS version of Intellij IDEA CE? Because the official download includes some proprietary bits.

I accidentally discovered that both “cd …” and “…” work, and moreover, I can add more dots to go back further! I’m using zsh on iTerm2 on macOS. I’m pretty sure this isn’t a cd feature. Is this specific to zsh or iTerm2? Are there other cool features I just never knew existed??...

I have a couple sites on Google and since they sold to square space I thought I’d try to keep my stuff there. But I can’t figure it out. Square space is a site builder with a GUI and I can’t find anywhere to just deploy my site to them as a react app. I have found a few areas where I can add some code, but they are for...

Any ideas? I am attempting to write a script that uses sed....

Honestly all this world looks really overwhelming, there’s too much stuff going on: each program uses its own languages, its own compilers, uses different tools, libraries, dependencies, package managers and frameworks. You need specific instructions and documentation to learn new stuff at every single thing you deal with....

I’ve watched Bro code on YouTube for learning html and CSS and I enjoyed his explaining, teaching and such. After i completed his YouTube course I went onto numerous different sources to learn more. I found that he teached me most of the stuff that I found afterwards. When I was happy with my html and CSS skill to the point I...

I’ve had this game idea for a while but I have trouble finding the right keywords to research it properly....

Hello there,...

I would like to know what your hoppy coding project are. It doesn’t really have to serve a purpose, but what are you coding on in your free time that just is fun to you and you enjoy working on?...

I’m not sure if the base model is enough or not. Anyone have experience?

I tried searching on google, but I need to apply “effects” as in mathematical equations (especially sine waves) for around 8192 values. All of this should ideally be around a few milliseconds, but should not take longer than 10ms....

For a while now, I had this idea in my head of making a small 2D side scroller game that helps people learn programming, and I’m looking for honest opinions and feedback from others. I know that such a game is niche and I wouldn’t expect to earn a lot with it. Spending time on development would only make sense for me,...

I have never dug into low level things like cpu architectures etc. and decided to give it a try when I learned about cpu.land....

Hi, I'm somewhat new to Kotlin programming and so far it's becoming my favorite language. I was browsing some Kotlin projects when I found Komac, which recently switched to the Multiplatform target from only having the JVM target....
