Welcome Programmers!

programming.dev is a collection of programming communities and other topics relevant to software engineers, hackers, roboticists, hardware and software enthusiasts, and more.

The site is primarily english with some communities in other languages. We are connected to many other sites using the activitypub protocol that you can view posts from in the "all" tab while the "local" tab shows posts on our site.


🔗 Site with links to all relevant programming.dev sites

🟩 Not a fan of the default UI? We have alternate frontends we host that you can view the same content from

ℹ️ We have a wiki site that communities can host documents on


⚖️ All users are expected to follow our Code of Conduct and the other various documents on our legal site

❤️ The site is run by a team of volunteers. If youre interested in donating to help fund things such as server costs you can do so here

💬 We have a microblog site aimed towards programmers available at https://bytes.programming.dev

🛠️ We have a forgejo instance for hosting git repositories relating to our site and the fediverse. If you have a project that relates and follows our Code of Conduct feel free to host it there and if you have ideas for things to improve our sites feel free to create issues in the relevant repositories. To go along with the instance we also have a site for sharing small code snippets that might be too small for their own repository.

🌲 We have a discord server and a matrix space for chatting with other members of the community. These are bridged to each other (so you can interact with people using matrix from discord and vice versa.

The petition is open to all EU resident. The goal is to replace all Windows in all public institution in Europe with a sovereign GNU/Linux.

If the petition is successful it would be a huge step forward for GNU/Linux adoption.

Will that be extra CPUs sold, or will it come at the expense of AMD and Intel?

Spilled some tea on my keyboard today. Didn't think much of it it's just tea right? My A key started to get sticky. I tore down the keyboard, and found some water damage on the a and s keys.

The s key is still springy, and responds. But it has a blue green hue on the metal contact in the photo.

The a key still works, but is very soggy, and requires greater depression than before.

This is a kinesis gaming RGB keyboard. All of the switches are attached to a metal plate, so to replace a single switch I think I have to unsolder all of the switches so I can get the metal plate off. It's an interesting design

For the moment, I cleaned up 6 years of filth and dirt from the keyboard. Looks pretty clean now from my estimation. For the key itself, I got as much stuff out of it as possible. I soaked the a and s keys in 99% alcohol. And then smash the keys over and over and over and over and over again. Trying to wash the keys from the inside. Right now I have a fan pointed directly at the keys, trying to finish the dry out.

Anybody else have success in rescuing a cherry MX key switch? I'm not opposed to soldering on new key switches, but I don't want to have to solder 28 keys just to reach one

On "Safe" C++ (izzys.casa)
submitted 19 hours ago by [email protected] to c/programming
 
 

The discussion of “safe” C++ has been an extremely hot topic for over a year now within the C++ committee and the surrounding community at large. This was mostly brought about as a result of article, after article, after article coming out from various consumer advocacy groups, corporations, and governments showing time and again that C++ and its lack of memory safety is causing an absolute fuckload of problems for people.

And unfortunately, this means that WG21, the C++ committee, has to take action because people are demanding it. Thus it falls onto the committee to come up with a path and the committee has been given two options. Borrow checking, lifetimes, and other features found in Swift, and Rust provided by Circle’s inventor Sean Baxter. Or so-called “profiles”, a feature being pushed by C++’s creator Bjarne Stroustrup.

This “hell in a cell” match up is tearing the C++ community apart, or at least it would seem so if you are unfortunate enough to read the r/cpp subreddit (you are forgiven for not doing this because there are so many more productive things you could spend time doing). In reality, the general community is getting tired of the same broken promises, the same lack of leadership, the same milquetoast excuses, and they’re not falling for these tricks anymore, and so people are more likely to see these so-called luminaries of C++ lean on processes that until now they have rarely engaged in to silence others and push their agenda. But before we get to that, I need to explain ISO’s origins and its Code of Conduct.
