Yep, went through and made some to match the Intellij IDEA community weve had for awhile and added the blogs for them to my rss reader for posting to give this place some activity. Hope you enjoy :)

If anyone wants to mod any of the communities feel free to reach out

Probably soon, just been making sure nothing major broke in the 0.19.3 update before we move over

The 0.19.1 version isnt ideal but its still usable if the server is restarted every day so gives us some time and after the situation with 0.19 0.19.1 were being more cautious

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Alright ive modded you, since its at 2 mods now ill unpin the post

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Theres a link to the community for it in the comment above. Basically will be primarily about making and guessing passwords (but also have some idle game stuff in there as well but no spoilers until I start testing which might be today edit: auths taking longer, testing this week)

I assume that's referring to the clues? They'll be randomly generated based on instance info I pull in

Its happening once a year so likely in the summer

Im working on another event that may happen next month though depending on if I finish the rest of the things to do in my queue of projects [email protected]

(so this and canvas will be 6 months apart from each other)

I just transferred the community over to ericjmorey due to them posting in the mod thread so ill try to not manage this as much but I can give my opinion on this community

With all of the question communities ive found that the posting rate is much lower but the engagement on each post is relatively high. If the scope is widened the high activity could be flooded out due to people unsubscribing due to it not being focused on the question topic anymore

(for articles formatted as a question) With articles the focus tends to be more about the article rather than the question itself and you get people talking about things discussed within the article rather than it being open ended

Feel like best thing would be having a new community for career articles

edit: If having a new community for career articles is what you guys want after this discussion just let me know and I can set one up

Alright ive transferred the community over to you

Theres some other sources like monkeyuser and abstrusegoose. Also encourages the creation of new comics

For some reason it doesn't like when instances running 0.19 are hooked up to the latest release. Manually specified a version and the issues were fixed

Latest release works fine on 0.18 instances like lemmy.world though

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Might be something to do with 0.19, Seems like same is true across my mastodon instances. Assume that would be a bug with lemmy

Anyone's free to comment here. Meta decisions apply to any users of the instance regardless of where your account is hosted

Hexbear we are federated with but its a half federation where a bunch of their communities have been hidden by default in all of the feeds (including the community youre referring to). Usually things are fine with them interacting in the threads here locally and we haven't had any issues due to it being a specific niche

(Theres out of instance stuff but that should be up to that instance to handle them)

Also going to try to get a better instance block in at some point that allows people to block users if they want that level of control rather than just the communities. Just want these sorts of things to be determinable at the user level rather than instance level defederations since ultimately things are mostly fine

Ive created a js app that can be used to test solutions for the community. Certain ones people made for challenge #1 wont be able to be put through it since they accept user input through entering it while its running rather than command line arguments but ill be enforcing command line argument use going forward

Let me know if theres any issues you find with it. I tested with with javascript, python, and rust and seemed to be working great. There can be differences in runtime when you run the same thing multiple times so ill be taking the median of running it 50 times for the performance score in the challenge

 

Options: TRS-80, Altair 8800, Commodore 64, Apple II

This is a place to discuss things relating to developing for ios.

Currently ill be temporarily managing this community. I have reached out to one of the r/iOSProgramming mods to see if they are interested in running it and if not ill do a post here looking for people

Mods and Helpers wanted! (programming.dev)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Hey everyone,

Currently looking for some more help with this community. Out of all of them I'm running for the instance this one by far takes the most work since it involves checking peoples code against tests.

I'm starting work on some generic testing systems for various languages (will do another post about that soon) that should help reduce the amount of work but if anyone else wants to help me create and run the challenges let me know (or if anyone wants to help out with running the tests with peoples code and giving them results)

Theres a matrix room for this community at https://matrix.to/#/#p.d-challenges:matrix.org

Welcome to the first programming challenge! Three of these will be posted a week and you can complete it in any language you want.

You get a point for completing an easy challenge, 2 for a medium, and 3 for a hard. For each challenge if you solve it in the least amount of characters you get a bonus point, and if your code runs the fastest when I check it you also get a bonus point. (ties mean everyone who tied gets the bonus point although exact duplicate answers wont count)

Ill be posting a leaderboard that will show the people who have the most points every month

Submissions will be open for a week


As a new hire of bracket inc., you have been tasked with getting rid of excess brackets lying around the facility. You must simplify a series of brackets so that only brackets that dont have a match remain (a match is an opening and closing bracket of the same type beside each other). The final result should have no matches

As an example for the input [(({})({)(()}] the expected output would be [(({)(}]

These are the valid types of brackets: (){}[]

Your system will be tested against 10 different unknown test cases before it is unleashed on the facility. In order to complete this task you must pass all of the test cases.

Any programming language may be used and to submit an answer reply on this post with the code and the language you coded it in

Edit: Clarification, you must take input in from the user using the program instead of them being hardcoded. (makes it easier to test)

Instance Taglines (programming.dev)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

I've been experimenting with putting random quotes from the [email protected] community as taglines in the instance.

It will automatically put a random quote every time you go to a page in the site. I put the ones that are shorter so they don't flood the page, and that were upvoted.

Theres also a link back to the quotes community if you click on the credit where you can discuss about that quote. As more quotes get added to the community the pool of tagine quotes will grow

  • note they may not be visible on certain lemmy clients depending on what features the clients support but they work on web
 

This is a community that will have various programming challenges to complete (in any language of your choosing)

Posts will be done three times a week (one easy, one medium, one hard) with the first easy one coming tomorrow

I'm currently running the community until somebody else volunteers but if anyone else wants to manage it let me know

 

Upvote one of the options below to vote, you can reply on an option with more details

function isPalindrome(str)
    str = str:gsub('%s', ''):lower()
    return str == str:reverse()
end

local input = "A man a plan a canal Panama"
if isPalindrome(input) then
    print("It's a palindrome!")
else
    print("It's not a palindrome.")
end

Testing out a new voting system of using strawpoll so that vote totals can be hidden. A thing I noticed in some of the previous rounds was that people would pile on to the same option. Loses a bit of the ease of vote but shouldnt be too bad since you can just instantly vote after you go to the site

You can vote for what you think it is here: https://strawpoll.com/xVg7j6Q5Rnr

Voting ends in 12 hours and then ill post here with the results. You can talk about it below but if you want to talk about the correct answer put it in spoiler tags
