Missed Office Hours last week? No problem: the full recording is ready to watch on YouTube and @tilvids.
The 3 developers behind the effort to bring native Microsoft Exchange support to Thunderbird discuss their adventures in Rust, and explain the long-term benefits and steep challenges associated with this project.
I've been using cargo (#RustLang package manager) for [cough] yrs and it is very nice. But always on my Ubuntu laptop. #Linux
That laptop died so right now I'm using an old Windows 10 (not 11 as stated earlier) laptop with #WSL and I have cargo building in #Windows and Ubuntu 22 (under WSL) and it just works.
Cross platform #development used to be one of the hardest most frustrating things, but tools like #cargo and #Tauri have changed all that.
I've updated my ansible-dev-pc¹ repository to support the recently released Ubuntu 24.04 (hence my discussion on getting .NET to behave). This supports Desktop Ubuntu 22.04/24.04, Pop!_OS 22.04, and Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 in WSL 2.
I'm still waiting for Pop!_OS 24.04 to be released so I can verify it there as well.
Hey web developers, this may seem like a dumb question, but when I was a young warthog you would link to a directory (just a simple "a href"), and if that directory had an index.html page it would assume that's what you wanted. Now I'm just getting one of those "Index of" pages (with that index.html page visible!) is it because it's running locally instead of a proper web server? Has this just overall changed and I didn't know? #programming#html#development#webdevelopment#webdevelopers#web
Hoy quiero anunciar un nuevo proyecto en el que estoy trabajando: un cliente para el escritorio de #peeertube
Mi idea es hacer algo más o menos sencillo, básicamente navegar por la instancia que quieras usar, buscar, ver vídeos, descargarlos, etc., y sin necesidad de tener cuenta en ninguna instancia.
Lo estoy programando usando Tauri, VUE y poco más, lo empecé con Python y Flet, pero Flet aun le faltan cosas por implementar, aparte de varias optimizaciones.
The more modest a developer is, the smaller the application version increments. Some indie coders add brilliant new functionality, and change the version from 0.9 to 0.9.1, while corporations often add a few minor improvements once a year, and jump from 1.0 to 2.0.
Are the BRICS and Their New Development Bank Offering Alternatives to the World Bank, the IMF and the Policies Promoted by the Traditional Imperialist Powers?
How do i explain to someone that daily standups are for devs to just keep up to date with whats going on and where they need help
And not a ridged meeting for documenting work done yesturday, todays work and blockers, so the scrum master can report back to upermanagement so they can audit and micromanage the team.
its not that i hate scrum, its i hate people that dont understand it and try to follow the letter of the law vs the spirit.
Our Rust and Exchange Community Office Hours start in one hour, at 16:00 UTC! Find out how to join us on Big Blue Button in our blog post. Hope to see you there! 🦀
Is there a more efficient way to check if two accounts follow each other via Mastodon's API, other than fetching followers of both accounts and finding a match?
Been working on incorporating a feature for the Wait Wait Stats Page that was requested about 2 years ago: adding a map showing the location of the venue when viewing the location details page.
While the addition of the feature was simple, getting the coordinates for all of the venues is what took the longest for me to get around to collecting and entering. Also, I needed to extend the backing library to return that data.
