What are programming socks?

Good point(s). Maybe it's because I'm neck deep in Assembly and I'm finally really understanding what is happening when I create a program. It's so much work and I've spent so much money to have a long-term career that is actually challenging and interesting to me.

I can see the merit in treating AI as another tool in the box.

So, I'm a CS student right now. Should graduate with a BS in May 2025. I'm thinking that I should push forward for a grad degree because I don't want to become a human prompt generator.

This is my favorite place on the internet.

I'm a pretty big fan of icdiff. This utility allows you to compare two files to see what has been added or removed by using colorful fonts to highlight values.

Any extra tips or tricks are welcome!

Yesterday I learned that set -x enables trace for a bash, sh, or zsh script and prints the trace to the terminal.

I'll do /c/commandline if you need someone.

Thank you! I'm very much into personalizing my tools. I've spent an embarrassing amount of time playing with Linux. I started to write my own configuration, but I quickly became lost in the lists of options. I wasn't sure what was really necessary or which plugin was doing what.

I would love to have a game night! There is a dev I follow on Twitch who occasionally does a community event at https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/clashofcode

Everyone plays the game in whatever language they like and he critiques your code if you want him to. It's so much fun! More than that, it's a great way to learn while being social. We could do events in Discord with groups in a voice channel.

Hi all! I installed nvim and completed the tutorial. I have been using CLion, PyCharm, IntelliJ IDEA, and VSCode. I primarily use an Ubuntu OS. I am open to a different distro.

When I tried to configure VSCode to allow me to use C++, Python, Java, and Assembly on one IDE it became unstable. Can nvim handle that?

Where do I go to figure how to customize this thing? For example, I don't know what I should be installing for basic linting (I'm still a student). Do I need different modules for each language? Any resources would be most appreciated.

Thank you!
