I proudly present you : an in-development pixel art editor! Largely oriented at tilesets and charsets, Voidsprite supports custom-size grids alongside resize-canvas-by-grid-size and resize-canvas-by-grid-count, alongside numerous (and growing with future update) supported image formats. Please check it out, and leave any suggestions or feedback on the itch.io page! As it is a FOSS project, check it out on github also!

Some screen sharing of challenging backend Java code that I was testing, although it was quite basic, to be honest.

Additionally, my notebook contained a pretty basic code base for a producer class that I wrote by hand. I want to become very skilled in creating Java classes based on the producer-consumer pattern using Kafka.

We’re excited to introduce Vibe Checks for the Praxis website, inspired by the process we’ve developed in our Discord server. With this new feature in place, new members will be able to answer a list of community decided questions, ensuring a safe and respectful environment for all who join the website.

Here’s how it works: Vibe checkers, selected by the community, read over the answers and engage with new members in their respective questionnaire tickets, which are automatically generated upon joining. If enough vibe checkers vote in favor of verifying a new member, they are automatically verified and receive a welcome notification.

With Vibe Checks implemented, we're now able to safely share invite links to the website far outside our Discord server. Whether you're a longtime community member or a newcomer looking to contribute, we welcome you to join us in this early round of testing and QA.

Join the project: https://praxis-app.org/i/4efdc9de

FlipaClip premiumed it’s shit now it’s a fucking supcription service, I got the one time payment before the switch but my friends didn’t so it just grinds my fucking gears

Something is genuinely want to do if I had any knowledge on organization or app design is to put together a team of programmers/app-maker-people and make like an entirely free free animation/art program that has all the stuff but with tutorials and a simplified layout

Idk how realistic it could be but we could get money from kofi/patreon stuff maybe and like I’d want to optimize it as much as possible too and be accessible on as many different softwares like I’d want this shit to run on a CALCULATOR/j

Again it’s just a bit of a silly idea that may not be achievable at all I don’t know anything about programming but a guy can dream

Though any programmers/app designers here I’d really like to hear your thoughts/critiques please as long as they remain in good faith and respectful!

One of the most intimidating and also scariest facts I've been coming to terms with is how true that one xkcd comic is about how many people & libraries are reliant on some package that has been thanklessly maintained by one person in Nebraska since 2003.

In an entirely unrelated discovery, I learned today that tmux (you know, that one terminal multiplexer that is used by god knows how many people) is functionally maintained & developed by one dude, Nicholas Marriott, who was the original creator of the program back in 2007. There is a contribution guide, and he does have a list of recommended issues to work on. So, if you're looking for an open source project to contribute to, and you use tmux, consider :)

How to dip your 🦶 into Open Source

Contributing to Open Source projects can be a valuable experience for beginner programmers. It can help you learn new skills, build your portfolio, make connections, make a difference, and gain recognition for your work.

But... how do I start? Well here's an option to get you started ☟

Google's Summer of Code (GSoC) is an online mentorship program that matches beginner contributors to open source software development with mentors from open source projects ❋

GSoC takes place every year mid January with registration to be a contributor usually opening around mid March. Unfortunately for this year (2023) the application deadline is tomorrow シ (April 4)

However! There are so many open source projects available this year so I highly encourage you to try to apply even if its past April 4 you might get lucky 🍀

The key to getting accepted by an org is to interact with their developer community and keep in contact with the orgs mentors. This is why I believe even if they application period has ended if you join the orgs online communication app and involve yourself in the community and keep sharing your skills and expertise with them you will still have a good chance of being able to join!

Best of luck! (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ

(even if it doesn't work out this year there will always be the next and the next and the next... I recommend checking out the archive for how the previous years went to better prepare yourself to jump on this opportunity next year!!)

Experimenting with a new "Fill" option -- eraser fill! A flood-fill that reveals the background (rather than filling with a solid color).

abuse of software metrics

When software projects judge themselves by the number of open issues, or how long issues remain open, there's a tendency to rush issues to closure and close issues that shouldn't be closed.

I'm seeing this phenomenon with the Assimp project. The project's GitHub repository publicizes metrics like "issue resolution" in days and the percentage of all issues that are open.

During the past month or so, I filed a slew of bug reports with Assimp, mostly related to the ".blend" file format. Recently, the project manager closed all those issues, saying that the .blend format was "deprecated", meaning the project no longer supports it.

But the documentation said (and still says) that ".blend" is supported.

Later that same day they started a discussion about deprecating the format. The causality is clear, and it looks to me like an effort to improve those metrics.

How do I feel about this? At first glance, the effort I put into those issues seems wasted, which is irritating and a bit sad. But if my work pushes the project to be honest about its limitations, perhaps that's best for everyone in the long run.

You won't be able to do everything (and that's okay), it's best to prioritize things to get them done well.

(09/03/2023)

Hello everyone.

How are you?

I'll explain why I put a print of my github, but first I wanted to talk about prioritizing tasks.

He in some article about time optimization about listing your tasks and thus starting a prioritization ranking to know what you should focus more energy/do first, I don't remember which article it was but I recommend searching it on google if you like this type of You won't be able to do everything (and that's okay),

it's best to prioritize things to get them done well.

Within that, I wanted to share that making choices is a difficult thing, even more so if you are anxious and keep doing calculations of probabilities that could go wrong if you choose the x path UHEUHHEUHUE.

BUT that's life and I even admit I like it sometimes.

During the next 44 days I will be focusing 100% of my time on achieving my goal.

And with that I reduced my code study time.

Which will make me study from 30m to 1 hour a day.

And that's where the print from my github comes from, I feel satisfaction in things well done and well aligned. And seeing these green dots not having a straight sequence pisses me off (I take into account that it also excludes certain repositories) UHEHUUHEHUE.

So my goal now is to study and put it on my github every day, until I can only do 15 minutes a day. I want this github to have constant contributions from March to December.

So that's about it, sometimes you'll see me just talking about 1 minimal topic I learned that day and I'm fine with that, because I decided to prioritize something that will change my life if it works out. (And I will fight for that)

So I hope that you who are reading know how to prioritize your tasks/choices in the best way and have great studies, stay well!

ABOUT OUTREACHY: As I don't have anxiety to get the scholarship, I'll do it calmly until April 3th. I'm still learning about project governance models and you'll see more about it on weekends around here.
