I’ve taught a few developers and have pretty extensive experience on the topic

Tutorials are fine, but don’t get stuck on the idea that you need guidance through the whole process, it’s better to avoid tutorials entirely than it is to follow a bunch of tutorials.

For example, when I started out my most recent student we began with some challenges that I knew would provide some context for future projects, then immediately jumped into those projects. Depending on what you’re passionate about, the best project for you can differ, but we did the following projects:

1. A lemmy face wizard page, literally just a list of lemmy faces that clicking on will copy to your clipboard
2. An invoice maker, since they needed to send me invoices because I was paying them for their time
3. a react native sudoku app, this one was challenging and took them a couple months, but when they were done they took over one of my contracts for mobile development

And the challenges that led to these projects? Everything from basic algorithms to api interaction puzzles.

My advice would be to pick something that you love and come up with the tiniest project you can possibly think of, then cut the scope a little more.

For example, love pokemon? Maybe make a website that you can click on one of the types and it will highlight the strengths/weaknesses of that type. Love golf? Maybe make a golf score tracker mobile app, a big button to add a stroke and another to move to the next hole.

If you are passionate about something it gets a lot easier to get better at programming because the stuff you’re missing will become obvious and you’ll need to look it up to finish your project.

My very first project nearly 30 years ago was a windows 95 app that moved your mouse to draw in mspaint automatically.

I’d say starting a new language is a pretty big mistake until about 4-5 months after you feel proficient with your first language. Starting over with new syntax has actually caused more than one of my students to quit

Then next I would examine the redirect and check your stack, is it a 302, 304, etc, is there a service identifying header with the redirect?

After that I would try to completely change your setup for testing purposes, greatly simplify things removing as many variables as possible, maybe setup an api server with a single route on express or something and see if that can be faithfully served

If you can’t serve with even a simple setup then you need to go back to the drawing board and try a different option

You set the A record to your internal ip address from within your router?

Nginx configs have a lot of options, you can route differently depending on the source context

So a couple questions:

1. Do you only want to access this from your local network? If so setting up a domain name in the broader internet makes no sense, you’re telling the whole world what local ip within your switch/router is your server. Make your own dns or something if you just want an easier way to hit your local resources
2. do you want to access this from the internet, like when you’re away from home? Then the ip address you add to your a record should be your isp’s public ip address you were assigned, it will not start with 192.168, then you have your modem forward the port to your local system (nginx)

If you don’t know what you are doing and have a good firewall setup do not make this service public, you will receive tons and tons of attacks just for making a public a record.

If an apple a day keeps em away, what happens if you eat 80% of an apple, maybe the real problem is that most of us don’t eat the core and stem, doctors have a very refined apple consumption detection organ that can detect even slight deviations!

Reading news websites without ad blockers is genuinely such a gross experience, why is there a video playing? Why can’t I close it? More ads than content, feels like sitting in on a culty mlm presentation or something

2k downloads weekly it looks like not dollars

You know what, unfortunately for some in the target demographic the answer is yes. Those who capitulated and got jobs as ice agents got a huge sign on bonus and livable salary. Bribed to terrorize

As someone who has experienced feelings for both genders, it has been my experience that feelings can develop without trying to start a relationship. That said there are people out there who are demisexual, but I doubt that would be limited to one gender for you.

Good:

1. I have high hopes that Nepal’s new government will bring positive change
2. Crispr science combined with some new good results with protein models may help us develop some incredible new health technology
3. In the financial world, less reliance on the US, and a shift away from usd in general would be a huge boon to the international community

Bad:

1. Massive economic instability worldwide, inflation everywhere, people will have an even worse time affording things once the worlds petrol distribution eases up
2. taiwan’s troubles are likely to pick up the pace with more international events to smokescreen their bully to the west
3. The transition to ai will likely push more of our society to crime, and lower the payment bar for many professions

The ai can visually impersonate so much interesting physics but loses track of a wee flower

That was my experience a few months ago as well, but recently I’ve actually been using it almost exclusively with rust, the extra type safety and language safety features have helped a lot with the end code quality.

Claude in particular has been really impressive with compiled languages, it does take a bit more hand holding to get something workable out than with javascript or python though.

Ohh people are aren’t going to like this

AI coding, “vibe coding”

Clone hero works well though the wammy bar done work for me through the ps2 usb adapter

Nah our ideals are very different

The ice watch apps

Lemmy is exactly that for a lot of people, the developers are quite controversial.

Obviously most users are not installing the software from those developers on their personal machines, but serving a federated instance certainly involves doing so.

I’ve deleted a few, usually if I accidentally doxx someone or literally post the wrong place (like I intended to reply to one person but somehow the message was posted as a response to another)

If not satire that is definitely not a flex lad

So do economists!

DeepSeek-V3.1 is a hybrid model that supports both thinking mode and non-thinking mode. Compared to the previous version, this upgrade brings improvements in multiple aspects:

• Hybrid thinking mode: One model supports both thinking mode and non-thinking mode by changing the chat template.

• Smarter tool calling: Through post-training optimization, the model’s performance in tool usage and agent tasks has significantly improved.

• Higher thinking efficiency: DeepSeek-V3.1-Think achieves comparable answer quality to DeepSeek-R1-0528, while responding more quickly.

The tool calling improvements are very welcome
