Programming

So basically I built a backend with some working endpoint and I built a React Frontend. I can run both things locally and I hosted the page on Cloudflare pages which is working. But now I’m wondering if that’s a good idea?

I have never done this before and I’m wondering if it’s secure enough to host the backend on some server and allow a CORS header to let the Frontend generate requests?

The alternative would be to host Frontend and backend on a VPS and then route my domain that I bought on Cloudflare there, but then I’m thinking that in case my Frontend is insecure somehow the whole instance would be compromised, no?

I hope this is the right platform to ask as I’m pretty new here.

SAME STATS, DIFFERENT IMPROVEMENTS

@programming

After 12 months of managing #bugs, #developers A, B, and C changed their approach.

Assuming a steady flow of bugs of the same kind, whose change is an improvement❓

Boosts appreciated! 🙂 :boost_love:

More generally, the problem is domain independent.

i wanted to see if we can create asynchronous bottom-up state management, we have the basics to put together a state management system. State management solutions in apps typically have ways to persist data.

I wanted to explore if there are any benefits to define and manage state in webcomponents with a bottom-up approach. I wanted to see if it could give a greater flexibility in developing a UI and not having to worry about persisted storage management.

Howdy Everyone. I'm 1hitsong. I'm on the Jellyfin team and programmed things such as the OSD, music support, and playlist support in the Jellyfin Roku client.

I've just started a series where I share things I've learned and helpful code I've created from programming Roku channels. It's very early - only 2 posts so far, but I hope you enjoy.

Posting this as it deeply resonates with me

Earlier this year I gave this talk which is about how programmers can get the most of the Fediverse, particularly for dotnet/MAUI developers - some of the killer features which are available and how to use them. The focus of the examples are with dotnet/MAUI, but these things would undoubtedly also be available for other languages/ecosystems, I was just using dotnet/MAUI to illustrate the underlying functionality available to us here. This recording would be good for anyone who isn't familiar with these features (maybe anyone you want to convince to come here, or just if you feel you don't know everything that is available).

The first part of the recording is a different talk about MAUI, and the first link below will be where my talk starts, and then some more links for other key points, if you just want to see the parts you don't already know about.

Following these recording links will be links to resources that I talked about...

edit: title

This book is efficient and answered questions the moment as I imagined asking, but to see its unique coolness -- we could do with some context on its literary genus.

Have you ever seen Kate Gregory's talk: Teach C++ not C?

The idea is, C++ has different habits than C, even if C++ is a "99% superset of C". But beginners can understand C++ just fine without learning C first. It's more ergonomic to learn about std::vector before using raw arrays and pointers, as Gregory puts it.

So, why do we teach vim before neovim, or before a well-regarded distribution like LazyVim? Because vim is "purer", installed everywhere? Because we learned it that way? What if we taught LazyVim/Neovim before raw vim, a la C++ before C? Modern features and ergonomics will keep a beginner listening -- surely you don't disagree.

Anyway, this book is that efficient and direct path to LazyVim. It covers the things that StackOverflow won't be the most useful pedagogues for (e.g. "what are those tab things on top of my window? How do I use the explorer thingamajig on the left -- should I even care about it, anyway?"). Plus, it keeps LazyVim as a first-class learning target, providing its mnemonics and habits alongside the typical vim stuff you'd normally learn with vimtutor.

I like this kind of learning :) good for the on-the-fencers like me

im 29 yo. recently lose my job, and thinking about use some of my saving money to school for programming, for the sake of not being homeless, but idk consider of my age, will it helps me in the future to survive if i have a degree on programming.

pardon my english

Today I found the weirdest bug in my life. I was making a chatbot for Signal using Ollama in Rust. I finished a basic demo and tried it. For any message I would get { }, {}, {} or { } .

Do you know how hard is to debug something like this???

What was the problem? Not my program. Ollama bug combined with ollama-rs bug (rust library for ollama). And both bugs are not even bugs if you don't combine them.

Ollama released a new feature yesterday called "Structured outputs". Basically you can specify a format of the output using format field in json request. Format field already existes for something but I don't know for what. In ollama-rs you can specify the format to json or leave it empty. By default its empty. Where is the bug?

There is a difference betwen "format": null and not specifying the format at all. Ollama-rs will set format to null if you dont specify it. Ollama will interpret null as a valid format. What happens? LLM WILL ACTUALLY GIVE YOU FORMAT OF OUTPUT AS NULL - { }!

I am fairly new to programming and for my cs class i need to run individual programs. they don't need to interact with anything else, so i am trying to just run the file I'm currently on but Kate just greys out the option. I really want to avoid using projects if i can because they're just extra effort for no reason when I only need to run a single file. I did try using one, but Kate doesn't have a new project button for some reason and i had some trouble with Cmake.

I'm aware that these are actually pretty basic things, but I can't find anything online that actually explains how to use Kate at all. I would try using something else, but every IDE seems to have this same issue where by default it can't run code and it has no documentation of any kind regarding actually running code, so i'll just stick with the one that came with my distro.

also as a bonus question, why does every IDE seem to require you to configure every single option before it can run code and why do they all seem to discourage doing anything less than making an entire app?
