I’m not entirely sure what you hope to achieve: have a GPG encrypted subject, and have ThunderBird automatically understand that it’s encrypted, so it can be automatically decrypted?

Since you’re saying you’re building software to support this, what are you building? A ThunderBird plugin that can do this? Or just standalone software that you want to make compatible with ThunderBird default way of handling encryption?

There’s a Python WASM runtime, if you really want to run python in a browser for some reason…

Recruitment is now basically Dead Internet theory…

Having to pass in null values seems a bit weird. You can define functions and optional parameters like this:

function myFunction(a = 1, b = 1, c = null, d = null, e = true) {
  return a * b;
}

Then people don’t have to call your function with

myLibrary.myFunction(1, 7, null, null, true);

they just call your library with

myLibrary.myFunction(1, 7);

You could add a default inside the method signature, like:

function myFunction(a = 1, b = 1, c = null, d = null, e = true) {
  if (c === null) {
    c = 5;
  }
  return a * b * c;
}

because if you define it in the method:

function myFunction(a = 1, b = 1, c = 5, d = null, e = true) {
  return a * b * c;
}

then if people still call it with

console.log(myFunction(5, 2, null));

Then the default c = 5 is overwritten by null, and results in 0.

I don’t know if you really need to handle all that though, instead of just doing c = 5 - if people intentionally call your library with null, and things go wrong…? well yea ok, don’t do that then.

But it depends on the use-case. If this is some method deep within a library, and some other calling method might be unintentionally dumping null into it, you could default it inside the method, and handle it

Because Wordpress is also hosting 1000s of plugins that WP engine users can install.

I’m not sure what the license regarding those things is, WP engine could probably just mirror it -

But they basically got locked out of the default ecosystem infrastructure.

Since others already suggested mostly on-topic suggests, here’s an alternative suggestion:

Instead of looking specifically for a mentor - look for an open source project that you can help with. Ideally one with a discord or something to it’s easy to be in contact the the lead dev. A lot people don’t mind mentoring juniors, but in my experience it doesn’t happens that explicitly - “be my mentor” - and it might sound like you’re asking them a lot.

If you invert it into “Hey I wanna help you with your open-source project, but I don’t really know what to do, what your expectations are, how to implement a specific feature” - then you’re offering to do work them, instead of asking for something. And implicitly you’ll get mentorship in return.

And “real” projects probably also look better on your github / portfolio than only some dummy projects for learning purposes

You’re welcome

That doesn’t really work all the time, because large files or large commits are lazy loaded on scroll, so what you’re searching might not have loaded yet

The code search does a server side search

No, not some internal company, just Microsoft being Microsoft. So all Windows pipelines. They also have Linux based pipelines so not completely all pipelines.

But given that a lot of people build dotnet stuff on Azure, the ‘windows-latest’ image is usually the default. So a lot of pipelines

That’s not a Discord bot, it’s a Slack RSS App / RSS subscription.

It’s pretty useful ‘for work’ because occasionally you’ll get notifications when parts of infra might be down (like your build server)

It’s more the fault of the implementation and documentation.

Yea sure. Though it’s slightly XMLs fault for allowing that kinda implementations. Every random thing is in it’s own obscure namespace with 20 levels of nested objects in different namespaces, and if you get anything wrong it barely explains what’s wrong, and just refuses to work.

It’s mostly WCFs fault. I just automatically associate XML with nightmare flashbacks of implementing WCF stuff

Uh-huh… ever tried to integrate with a poorly implement WCF service? Like communication from a Java service to a dotnet service through a WSDL?

I’ll take a json API over XML any day

At some I added logging to a thread pool, when it gave up on child-threads, it would be logging things like

“Child 123 is being aborted”

Not the best of phrasing for people that didn’t know what that was about…

When I stopped, subversion was what we used. I’m trying to understand Git, but it’s a giant conceptual leap.

It’s probably not ‘that much of a leap’ as you imagine. If you’re looking at Git tutorials, they’re usually covering all kinda complex scenarios of how to ‘properly use Git’. But a lot of people barely care about ‘properly using Git’ and they just kinda use it as a substitute for SVN… You create branches, you merge them back and forth, and that’s about it.

Like if you want to contribute to an open source project, all you have to do is create a fork (your own branch in SVN terms) - commit some stuff to it, and create a pull request (request to have your changes merged) back to the original branch. git pull is just svn update - getting someone elses commits

Not saying there aren’t more complex features in git, or that learning git properly isn’t worth it, just saying, I don’t think you have to see it as a ‘giant conceptual leap’ that’s preventing you from jumping back into programming. Easiest approach just to get started would be probably to just download a GUI like Sourcetree or Fork, and you just kinda pretend you’re still using SVN - approach wise

That laser at the end should have been Java Technology™ ;

You point it at anything, and end up with a huge dumpster fire… Sounds like Java to me

Problem Details for HTTP APIs - I have to work and integrate with a lot of different APIs and different kinda implementations of error handling. Everyone seems to be inventing their own flavor of returning errors.

My life would be so much easier if everyone just used some ‘global unified’ way to returning errors, all in the same way

I agree with @remotelove@lemmy.ca - since you "don’t know where to start“ - just start simple. Maybe lemmy will be fine for now.

Otherwise, to at least pitch some alternative: you can Google for a vbulletin host. A lot of hosting providers offer a “managed vbulletin” solution. Meaning you don’t have to get a bare metal machine and don’t have to be bothered with installing all the software yourself.

I don’t know if there are free solutions, but with a quick Google, it doesn’t seem like it’s more than a couple $ a month for a small server

What are you building, it depends a bit on your usecase

Otherwise c# Blazor compiles to WASM

Whatever you do, don’t use G2A and other similar CD key reseller websites

For indie games, sure, I always just buy those legit.

But some EA / Ubisoft game; I rather pay $5 on G2A than risk accidentally downloading a malware infected crack

Where does it end though? It’s a bit like infinite craft - but instead of combining resources you’d have to find an inverse for every emoji
