how do I set up vsc correctly? I always get project file not found error and I can't find a solution on the internet. Lmk if you have a fix :(

Hi! Thank you for the ask! I wonder in what situation this happens to you? When trying to open the file? Or when trying to run some command? Could be different reasons so maybe my answer won't really help you... But! I've had this issue sometimes; for example, once, I was trying to run a python script, but it wouldn't let me.

Here, the issue is that the folder I have open in VS code is a parent folder to the folder where the file I'm trying to run is located. Here, I'm running the script with the help of the "play" button on the top right.

What it does, I suppose, is try to run the file day-3.py in the directory/folder that is currently open in VS code, but! In the folder advent_of_code_23, there is no file called day-3.py!

So, your issue could potentially be that you are accidentally running your script in a parent folder where it can't be located, since it's in a child folder.

If you still want to have a parent folder up and running, and see all your children folders, you could use the terminal to manually access and run your script.

Step 1: open a new terminal (top option)

Step 2: in the terminal, type ls (stands for list) to see all the folders in your parent folder

Step 3: type cd (stands for change directory) and then the name of the folder you want to navigate into, where the file you want to run is located. (TIP! You can use the tab button on your keyboard to autofill the folder name)

Step 4: Now you can see that your location has changed to be <C:\...\parent-folder-name\child-folder-name>, which means you are now in another folder! So for me, now the location is <C:\...\advent_of_code_23\day-3>, which means I can now directly access everything in this folder! In my screenshot I also typed LS to see what the contents of my folder is.

Step 5: In here, I can now run my python file by typing python day-3.py

If you're working in another language, I would recommend googling "how to start a [language name] in the terminal". Or, if you're running for example a React project, you may want to look in your package.json to see what scripts are available, and run those with your preferred package manager, such as yarn or npm.

In my case, this project is set up with yarn, so I would run this using the yarn dev command.

I hope this has been somewhat helpful, and if it didn't resolve your issue feel free to reach out to me personally and I'd be happy to take a look at your specific case. I can't promise a definite fix, but I can promise that I'll try! 🩷

Here's an internet hidden gem for y'all

So I'm fucking around in the network section of Firefox's developer's tools because I'm taking a Django course and I'm looking at the instructor's samples as part of a lecture and I spot this little thing:

and I'm like ????? Sir what are you doing in my browser???

The instructor of this course likes making little references all the time (for example he often uses "42" as a value because of Hitchhiker's), so my first thought was that he is also a Terry Pratchett fan and added him as a value in his sample code, but what is "x-clacks-overhead"?

Well, let me share with you what I found on the X-Clacks-Overhead website:

In Sir Terry's novel "Going Postal", the story explains that the inventor of the Clacks - a man named Robert Dearheart, lost his only son in a suspicious workplace accident, and in order to keep the memory of his son alive, he transmitted his son's name as a special operational signal through the Clacks to forever preserve his memory

[...]

As a way to preserve the memory of Sir Terry Pratchett, the users of the SubReddit for the Discworld series came up with the idea behind the X-Clacks-Overhead HTTP Header. It allows web authors to silently commemorate someone through the use of a non-invasive header that can be transmitted from server to server, or server to client without operational interference.

[...]

At the time of writing, Mozilla.org (makers of the Firefox web browser), the makers of Debian (a popular Linux Operation System), and Xml.com (a major repository of standards information) are examples of some of the backbones of the Internet who transmit the Signal "GNU Terry Pratchett".

It's not that the instructor is making a hidden little reference to Terry Pratchett. It's so much more than that. And I think it's beautiful :')

EDIT: There's more information in the GNU Terry Pratchett website if anyone is interested

introduction. hi :)

hello!!

i wanted to document my process of learning to code :) it's something i've always been interested in, but never got to, because i felt like it would take too much time to become good. well, the time will pass anyways, i need a project to stay sane. i have adhd, so it's somewhat of a developing hyperfixation / special interest for me.

i was using sololearn to learn, before i got paywalled :/ -- now i'm using freecodecamp and will probably also use codeacademy. on freecodecamp, i'm doing the certified full stack developer program which will (from my understanding) teach me to code front-end / client side as well back-end. i knew some HTML to begin with, but so far i've finished the basics of HTML mini-course and am on to structural HTML. After the full HTML topic, the course teaches me CSS, Java, Back-End Javascript and Python.

LONG STORY SHORT!! let's be friends, because i love doing this. also i need help. and advice. so much of it. m

Progress:

Okay so the authentication for spotify is hard for me to understand and requires user authentication, then making a token request that while expire in an hour. So i focused on what I did know how to do and what I had access to token wise. The Spotify developer home page has a temporary access token for demos. I took that token and made a function to make get request to the API and two functions for top tracks and top artists. Then made some functions to print them in my terminal. Here is what my end product looked like in the terminal.

The data for tracks is proving to just show a years worth of listening even though I specified long_term in my get request.

Here is my code:

I tried just doing track.artist but Spotify handles that as multiple artists so I had to handle them as such.

Next Steps: Tackling the user authentication and token requests and including it in this code.

(Also yes I know that is a concerning amount of My Chemical Romance tracks. I had my MCR phase strike up again with a passion last October and I am still balls deep in it.)

I have not forgotten this blog!!!

But neither have the school deadlines forgotten me !!!!!!!!!

I've been passively stacking up new quotes and posts, I just need to sit down and do it.

...preferably in two weeks, when the deadlines have passed :'3c

In the meantime: I know I'm two weeks late for the White Day update.

I know it.

Update is tonight-

But I'm going to be cheeky about it because I got too ambitious.

The final chapter will be split up in two.

Of the finale, the first part is practically done; I just need to process the advice and feedback I got from my beta readers, and it's up and going.

As for the second part, which originally wasn't even planned at all...

Well...

Active feedback and writing is in process, much to the dismay of one of my beta readers, who claims I'm going far too slow in writing this (hehe)...

I do hope you guys, if anybody has been waiting on an update, can find it in them to wait for the final final chapter, whenever that releases <3

Because I shit you not the chocolate/Valentine's fic is at, what, 5k words?

The WIP right now is sitting at 23k, including the first chapter.

And nowhere near done, so it'll sure be something to work through, but the first half/second total chapter will be processed and uploaded tonight~
