tripleo1 commented on A Book on Linux    · Posted by u/NCaffer

The trouble is that things change too quickly for there to be a specific tome that everyone agrees is gospel. I think the closest you will get to gospel in this space are classic books like K&R C, which have very little to do with Linux per se.

Also, a "book on linux" is going to look very different if it's based on Debian as opposed to e.g. NixOS. Linux distros come in all shapes and sizes and no matter what level you're operating on (just using the GUI, light sysadmin, deep systems programming, down to kernel hacking), they may appear as totally different paradigms.

I would recommend simply daily driving Linux. If you're still using another operating system, ween yourself off of that. Additionally, there are a bunch of obvious projects that are low hanging fruit for just getting to grips with Linux. Want a personal website? Spin up a VPS or a cheap laptop and build it from scratch. Set up your own personal email. Get certbot running. Write a simple server in C that can do request/response of TCP. Write an i2c driver for some random micro you have lying around. Whatever you are interested in making/doing, just go do it.

Resist the urge to google everything. `man` has more information than you think it does.

1. man2html

and 2. i think it's gnome devhelp.

there's an app too.

it's too bad distributions themselves promote googling everything.

The way they’re using hard-fork and soft-fork, is that based on the blockchain usage of the words? If so, that makes it hard for me to take seriously!

They have been working on other things for decades. Look there.

Ideas are cheap. It’s all about “thinking about problems and trying to solve them”.

Also, don't overemphasize thinking. It has already been done by people that are much (much) smarter than you.

Also, you cannot outscan people with millions of dollars at their disposal with the only intent that you cannot make any money yourself from your ideas...

...especially when they are good.

(please disregard the bitter tone.)

Yes I am looking for that

Personally I would like to see instances of where gen ai is actually useful.

An example: rewrite this java code in clojure/scala with lenses. (already done, don't bother...)

The audience for such content is incredibly tiny, and those that watch it are not hiring people.

People have incredibly short attention spans these days. If your video isn't 20 second shorts with large text and jump cuts you will lose the viewer.

Video is a terrible medium in general.

You're not Tsoding/T3/Primeagen and you're better off spending your time elsewhere. Note-- their audiences are primarily young junior developers or developers to be.

Along these lines I was thinking why in the world would you be making videos for recruiters?

And (not criticism) why is how React works a showcase of your skill?

Hoot looks awesome, but I've yet to get past the initial hurdle of screwing around with guix. Frankly, I need another package manager like I need a hole in the head.

It really needs someone to give other package managers some love (Homebrew, apt, rpm...)

Not actually true, those pm's need to be reimplemented in nix/scheme.

But I get your point.

This has been going on for over a year now. Any progress in C++ land towards more memory safety?

Aversion to d-lang in particular is strange. Was it not (an acceptable) answer years ago?
