You can do that in some languages (kinda), it’s called pattern matching. Check out Rust!

@olback I agree, it can be hard to understand sometimes, especially with the lifetime and ownership.

Unwrap on the other hand is not too hard to grasp, you need to use it when you have a type of either Option or Result. If you’re worked with Optionals in Java it’s the same thing. The type is like a box that could contain something or not. And doing unwrap() you basically assume you have a value/have a good value.

A more elegant way is to do

match option_var {
Some(value) => // handle value,
None(_) => // handle case where there’s no value
}

It’s a way of dealing with errors like regular values, instead of having special case exceptions. Much nicer, imo. Hope this makes sense. The Rust book has lots of good stuff around all the concepts in the language.

Update: I had to shut down this project as it was infringing on copyrighted content :( I had no idea but then I got threatened to be sued so I had to shut everything down. Oh well, I learned a lot.

Write a script that will scrape the content for you!

Companies use Windows too you know, and they might want to keep all history

Maybe he’s just fucking with you

Nice idea, I like it. Just like your own amazon lambda, I guess.

Looking at the code I see a lot of files that should not be on github, like .DS_Store and .idea. Google for global gitignore and you’ll never have that problem again.

Welcome to managing an open source project. Don’t let it eat you up!

Don’t focus on the framework, it’ll be easy to pick up if you know the language well enough.

Holy shit, I thought it was real at first.

Wow that’s a nice way of describing programming if you want it to sound boring as shit. Also this sounds like a description of JS like 10 years ago.

Makefiles are really nice and super powerful. I use them as much as possible in projects, that way I can keep a set interface to building, running tests, lint etc even though it’s using different tools under the hood. (make build, make test, make lint etc). And also it auto completes the targets in your terminal.

This is gold! Why did you all decide to quit?

When he asks for help, don’t write the code for him but rather sit next to him and have a conversation about what you are trying to achieve, and why you need to achieve it. Don’t take over his keyboard, let him be the driver.

Maybe he’s insecure, seeing a student come into his workplace with more skills than himself. I’m guessing he’s trying his best. Maybe ask if everything is ok in his personal life? There’s always two sides to every coin.

Post everything on GitHub! It could help you score a job. Even if it’s not completed or whatever, post it. It shows you write code at home.

Dude, calm your titties

Like polishing a turd

Thanks for this year, David and Tim. I’m looking forward to next year!

@fox8091 what service do you have to use where you have to provide data? Just register a new account and you can use everything without providing any data.

@fox8091 you can use a lot of their services without providing any data.

It’s always amusing to see people complain about the TINIEST issues when a company provides so many amazing things for free.

@bittersweet sounds great. Is it expensive? What service would you recommend?

I think the logo is nice. It gives it a playful touch. Just started fiddeling with Go yesterday. Do not have an opinion yet though, will probably have after I complete the project.

In what way does it help your programming? I’m a musician myself and I’d like to use my musical knowledge in my work but I don’t see how to do it.

The old Python software program, eh?

Date with my GF. And then play GTA V. And maybe some Python API code. Good weekend.

I use it too. Works great. I got a lifetime license for like €40.

Some points are good but some I don’t agree with. You make it sound like it’s a game. Work should be fun where you learn and have a good time with your colleagues. If not then I would look for another place.

I’m always having fun with my team and just yesterday we went out for burgers and beers. We’re all the same age (mid 20s) so it comes natural.

Dude you’re better than that. Get your shit together.

Synology? Great products.
