#Installing visual studio on a mac

[tomatomagica]

just woke up from a bizarro nightmare:

i found a visual novel adjacent indie game called "All-in One", made by a tumblr user techy-vrissy or something like that; naturally i wanted to stream it (i had my OBS open and running the whole time, giving me immense anxiety throughout the nightmare)

it was a very niche game, so i wanted to make it more known by making a carrd for it with links to download it as well as synopsis and character info

for some reason i only had a free unvoiced version and wanted to get a premium paid one with professional voice over by japanese anime studio

that's where the weird stuff began - every time i googled the name of the game, it would glitch the page into something scary and unsettling (the two distinct examples i remember is a fake chinese food restraunt order with 4th wall jokes throughout it, and AI-generated pictures of interiors made entirely out of dogs textures but it looked more like gore than a funny collage)

at some point i also for some reason accidentally re-named a handful of characters in the unvoiced version and wanted to change them back, and that took forever to figure

some character names i remember were The D°g Boy and Paripi Bitch Ren (okay then...)

no matter what i did i couldn't find a page to download the game at all, not even the version i had initially so i could at least restore the names to the original ones

in the end i found that apparently the game was coded, and i cannot stress enough the absurdity of it, by writing thousands upon thousands of Reddit comments with character text, image links and movement descriptions python-style in unending reply chain

i found the links eventually on a forum made by the creator and the top pinned post was "3000 frequently asked questions"

there i read that it couldn't be downloaded for Windows anymore, it was discontinued in favor of an experimental operating system similar to Mac, that risked everything being wiped off my computer during the installation process and required a pretty beefy hardware that I didn't have

i woke up really angry and sore

The Legendary ThinkPad T480s

I recently got myself an old Lenovo ThinkPad T480s for just $230—a real steal for this iconic machine. The model I got had the i7-8650u and 16GB RAM. Even though it’s about 7 years old, the ThinkPad T480s still holds legendary status among laptop enthusiasts. A quick search on YouTube and you will find a ton of recent videos praising its robust build, exceptional keyboard, and solid performance. There's almost a cult like following for this ThinkPad.

Right after purchasing, I opened up the laptop for some essential maintenance. I disassembled the heat sink/heat pipe/fan assembly and thoroughly cleaned the fan with a brush and compressed air duster. After cleaning off the old thermal paste from the heat sink and CPU using IPA, I reapplied some Kryonaut Thermal Grizzly paste to ensure optimal cooling performance.

Over the next two days, I set it up with Ubuntu and installed a bunch of development tools like Visual Studio Code, Python, Jupyter Notebook, and Arduino IDE. Additionally, I configured VirtualBox to run a Windows 10 Pro VM for flexibility.

To enhance seamless workflow between my ThinkPad and Mac, I configured Syncthing for effortless file synchronization and CopyQ for shared clipboard functionality. For backup, I am using Timeshift for system snapshots and Déjà Dup for user files. Installed Gnome Sushi and Imagemagick to make file preview work like on a Mac. It's also nice that the Ubuntu dock can be configured to look similar to a Mac.

On top of that, I also installed xremap to do some key remapping for things like copy, paste, quit, etc. to make Ubuntu work more like a Mac, just because the Mac is my main machine and all those key strokes are like muscle memory already. Keep having to change as I switch between using the 2 was a real pain.

That’s it, a brand new old ThinkPad. The ThinkPad T480s remains a fantastic laptop even after all these years, providing stellar performance and an exceptional Linux experience. It’s the perfect budget-friendly yet powerful laptop for developers, makers, and Linux enthusiasts alike.

Below are some videos you can check out:

could you go into a little bit of detail about vapoursynth as a program if you don't mind? because the vapoursynth i'm familiar with runs solely with the command line interface using python and i have a feeling thats not what people are talking about but i could be wrong honestly 😅 and was just curious if you minded explaining what you used it for (and maybe how it's set up a bit so i know if i'm thinking of the right vapoursynth?)

yeah sure! to preface, i have a mac computer. if youre asking these questions as a gif maker, ie u want vapoursynth installed, and you have a mac, it is gnarly to install. i have coding background and consider myself tech savvy and it was hell, lmao. if you have windows, it's apparently easy as pie. lucky them.

yes, the vapoursynth i use/am talking about runs via python code (for macs) but not entirely python interface, like you dont need visual studio code or any app like that. at least for mac users, you have to download "vapoursynth editor" (and a lot of other stuff ie files that make vapoursynth run) from a vapoursynth tutorial for macs (like i said earlier, windows may be different bc i have a mac). this is the tutorial that contains the link to download "vapoursynth editor" and more for mac. btw, vapoursynth from this tutorial also currently works with the latest mac OS software, ventura 13, which is what i have. vapoursynth editor is like another version of vs code, or at least thats how i like to think about it.

this is what it looks like when i open "vapoursynth editor":

so, very similar to vs code.

this is what the app itself looks like (the one on the right):

the white robot dude is where you drop in the video that you want vapoursynthed (for lack of better word lol), which also comes in that link i shared. i used to use vapoursynth for cropping and sharpening/smoothing kpop videos to turn into gifs on photoshop, but now i just use it for cropping because i like photoshop's sharpening more. once i click and drag the video i'd like to crop/edit/sharpen into the white robot dude, i mess around with the video's dimensions, sharpening quality, etc. this is what that interface looks like to do that:

and when im done, i copy the code from the top right corner into vapoursynth editor, the screenshot from earlier that looks like vs code. to save the video with the settings you want...

i go to "script" in the top left corner of my computer,

and hit preview, just to see if the sharpening/smoothing settings i selected look ok with the video. this is what preview looks like:

if im satisfied, i go back to script in the top left corner, but this time i hit encode video. this pops up:

i usually edit the very last bit of the code in the argument block (the output/output.mov) to something like, output/a-clever-name-so-ik-which-video-this-is.mov, and then i hit start in the bottom right corner and my computer sharpens/smoothens/crops the video.

when you say "explain how vapoursynth is set up" i'd imagine that means how to install it (on a mac)? please correct me if im wrong (by sending another ask), but if thats the case then the tutorial i linked explains it all!

i hope i hit everything you wanted anon, and send me another ask if you want to hear more about something in particular or want a more detailed vapoursynth tutorial, or something. thanks!

📁 HiFiSampler on MacOS (ft. chevrefee)

Today's tutorial will be going over the installation for Hifisampler for MacOS. This was made in collaboration with chevrefee who helped me through the entirety of the install so it was all made possible with their help! Before we get into the specifics of installation we will be going over the currently tested MacOS environments and explain the differences in installation. 

For users of Silicon MacOS that are on Sonoma, it is recommended to use the distributed client. Make sure you download both the resampler and client zip files.

For Intel MacOS and Silicon MacOS that are on Ventura and Sequoia, refer to the window’s exe installation method. To prep the environment for the installation please refer to my resampler tutorial before proceeding with this tutorial.

Link ▶︎ https://keitaiware.com/post/766063532617973761/resamplers-on-macos

MacOS that are on versions before Ventura cannot natively support this resampler. Consider using Bootcamp and following an installation guide for Windows.

What you will need in order to begin the installation. . . 

Anaconda

Python 3.10

Section 1, “Installing necessary files.” 

Install the general Hifisampler installer.

To check if Anaconda is installed to your system, open Terminal and run the command . . .

conda -V

This command will run back what version of anaconda you have installed.

We will now create the conda environment inside Terminal. To set up the conda environment, 

conda create -n py10 python=3.10 anaconda

Now that the environment has been created, we will now activate it and install all the necessary modules. *(numpy, scipy, resampy, onnxruntime, soundfile pyloudnorm, librosa, soundfile)

pip install numpy, scipy, resampy, onnxruntime, soundfile pyloudnorm, librosa, soundfile

Our next install will be separate from these modules.

pip3 install torch torchvision

To continue with the preparation, we will need to install the correct version of numpy. In order to do this, we will need to uninstall our existing version to replace it with the correct version. 

pip uninstall numpy pip install numpy==1.26.4

Section 2, “Organizing the resampler folder.”

After this, your environment is almost set to run hifisampler! Before we run the necessary files inside python we will be organizing our resampler folder for hifisampler. We will place the entire hifisampler-main folder into the resampler folder. 

/Users/Username/Library/OpenUtau/Resamplers

Section 3, Setting up the resampler

For Silicon MacOS on Sonoma * (see Section 6)

Sonoma users on Silicon MacOS can directly download the client file instead of generating a .sh (shell) file. Put the unzipped hifisampler_client_MacOS_ARM64.zip folder into your hifisampler-main folder.

For other Macs . . .

You will need to generate an .sh (shell) to run the resampler.exe. In order to generate the .sh file you can follow my MacOS resampler tutorial here. 

Link ▶︎ https://keitaiware.com/post/766063532617973761/resamplers-on-macos

After creating the .sh file, simply drop it into the hifisampler-main folder. Note that the RELPATH for the resampler in the .sh file should be just hifisampler.exe, with no additional paths before it * (not hifisampler-main/hifisampler.exe).

Section 4, “Installing the HiFiGAN dependency.”

Now we will install the HiFiGAN OpenUTAU dependency. 

https://github.com/openvpi/vocoders/releases/tag/pc-nsf-hifigan-44.1k-hop512-128bin-2025.02

To install the HiFiGAN dependency, simply drag and drop the .oudep into the OpenUtau UI. 

Now we will route the dependency paths inside of the hifiserver.py, to do this, we will right-click and open the file with IDLE or IDLE3 (whichever comes up for you). Using Visual Studio Code is also viable.

Inside of the IDLE view, use CMND+F and search for “HiFIGAN Not Found.” From here, we will look for the onnx_default_path and the ckpt_default_path. We will set the paths to the pc_nsf_hifigan_44.1k_hop512_128bin_2025.02.onnx and model.ckpt. Here below is an example of what to expect. 

The area we will be focusing on is highlighted in blue.

Section 5, “Running the HiFiGAN Server.”

Your environment should be set up to run the HiFiGAN server now! For any missing modules in this step you can satisfy the errors by running. . .

pip install [module name]

There isn’t a preferred set of steps, but I tend to set up the HiFiGAN server before opening OpenUtau. To run the HiFiGAN server, we will activate the conda environment. 

conda activate py10 

Now we will run the server activation command.

python /Users/Username/Library/OpenUtau/Resamplers/hifisampler-main/hifiserver.py

You can also drag and drop the hifiserver.py file to the Terminal window instead of manually typing the pathname.

After Terminal finishes loading the server, you can open OpenUtau and load in your preferred UST and singer. Set your resampler to classic by hitting the cog icon, and select the hifisampler-main/hifisampler_client_MacOS_ARM64/hifisampler (Sonoma) or hifisampler-main/hifisampler.sh from the resampler tab. 

Note: In order to render with hifisampler, you will need to open Terminal and run the conda activation command with the hifiserver activation command.

conda activate py10 

With the python hifiserver.py activation command.

python /Users/Username/Library/OpenUtau/Resamplers/hifisampler-main/hifiserver.py

Section 6, “General Resampler Usage and Other Additions.”

As this resampler uses neural networks, it will take up more memory to process. If you find that your renders keep freezing, try freeing your memory before attempting to restart the render.

This tutorial has only been tested out on these MacOS:

Intel on Ventura

Silicon M2 on Sonoma

Silicon M2 Max on Sequoia (x2)

In theory, there will be no difference when using M1/M2/M3 chips of the same OS version. We theorize that the cause of uncertainty on whether a user can use the client file or not is based on the OS version used. We have yet to test on Silicon Ventura. Hachimisampler is a resampler from the same developer that shares the neural network system with hifisampler. It is said to work better on Jinriki voicebanks. If you would like to use this resampler instead, the installation procedure will be the same, with an addendum that wrapping the .exe with a .sh file is mandatory for all users since no dedicated client exists. 

If you have already installed hifisampler beforehand, you can skip to Section 5 to use it, replacing the hifiserver.py with hachiserver.py instead.

Understanding the Basics of PHP

Before diving into writing scripts, it’s crucial to understand the fundamentals of PHP. This section will cover the essential concepts that every beginner should know.

What is PHP?

PHP is a server-side scripting language designed primarily for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language. 

It allows developers to create dynamic content that interacts with databases and can handle user input effectively.

Why Use PHP?

Cross-Platform Compatibility: PHP runs on various platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS), making it versatile for different server environments.

Database Integration: PHP seamlessly integrates with databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite, allowing for efficient data management.

Open Source: Being open-source means that PHP is free to use and has a large community contributing to its continuous improvement and support.

Ease of Learning: The syntax of PHP is similar to C and Java, making it relatively easy for beginners to pick up.

Setting Up Your Development Environment

To start writing PHP scripts, you’ll need a suitable development environment. Here’s how to set it up:

Install XAMPP/WAMP/MAMP: These are popular packages that include Apache server, MySQL database, and PHP interpreter.

XAMPP: Cross-platform solution available for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

WAMP: Windows-specific solution.

MAMP: Mac-specific solution.

Create Your Project Directory:

Navigate to the htdocs folder within your XAMPP installation directory (usually found at C:\xampp\htdocs on Windows).

Create a new folder for your project (e.g., my_first_php_project).

Choose an IDE or Text Editor:

Popular choices include Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, or PhpStorm. These editors provide syntax highlighting and debugging tools that enhance your coding experience.

Writing Your First PHP Script

Now that your environment is set up, let’s write your first simple PHP script.

Step 1: Create a New File

Open your text editor or IDE.

Create a new file named index.php in your project directory.

Step 2: Write Basic PHP Code

Add the following code to index.php:

php

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang=”en”>

<head>

<meta charset=”UTF-8">

<meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

<title>My First PHP Page</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>Welcome to My First PHP Page!</h1>

<?php

echo “Hello, World! This is my first PHP script.”;

?>

</body>

</html>

Step 3: Run Your Script

Start the Apache server using XAMPP Control Panel.

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/my_first_php_project/index.php.

You should see “Welcome to My First PHP Page!” followed by “Hello, World! This is my first PHP script.” displayed on the page.

Understanding Basic Syntax

PHP scripts can be embedded within HTML code. The opening tag <?php indicates the start of a PHP block, while ?> marks its end. Here are some key points about PHP syntax:

Variables: Variables in PHP start with a dollar sign ($). For example:

php

$name = “John Doe”;

echo $name; // Outputs: John Doe

Data Types: Common data types include strings, integers, floats, booleans, arrays, and objects.

Comments: Use comments to document your code:

php

// This is a single-line comment

/* This is a

multi-line comment */

Control Structures

Control structures allow you to control the flow of execution in your scripts.

Conditional Statements

Conditional statements execute different blocks of code based on certain conditions:

php

$age = 18;

if ($age >= 18) {

echo “You are an adult.”;

} else {

echo “You are not an adult.”;

}

Looping Statements

Loops enable repetitive execution of code blocks:

For Loop:

php

for ($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) {

echo “Number: $i<br>”;

}

While Loop:

php

$count = 0;

while ($count < 5) {

echo “Count: $count<br>”;

$count++;

}

Working with Functions

Functions are reusable blocks of code that perform specific tasks.

Defining Functions

You can define functions using the function keyword:

php

function greet($name) {

return “Hello, $name!”;

}

echo greet(“Alice”); // Outputs: Hello, Alice!

Built-in Functions

PHP comes with numerous built-in functions for various purposes:

String manipulation functions like strlen(), str_replace(), etc.

Array functions like array_push(), array_merge(), etc.

Handling Forms and User Input

One of the key aspects of web development is handling user input through forms.

Creating HTML Forms

You can create forms using standard HTML elements:

xml

<form action=”process.php” method=”post”>

Name: <input type=”text” name=”name”><br>

Age: <input type=”number” name=”age”><br>

<input type=”submit” value=”Submit”>

</form>

Processing Form Data in PHP

To process submitted form data:

php

// process.php

if ($_SERVER[“REQUEST_METHOD”] == “POST”) {

$name = $_POST[‘name’];

$age = $_POST[‘age’];

echo “Name: $name<br>”;

echo “Age: $age<br>”;

}

Form Validation and Security

Always validate user input before processing it:

php

if (!empty($name) && filter_var($age, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT)) {

// Process valid input

} else {

echo “Invalid input.”;

}

Working with Databases (MySQL)

Integrating databases into your applications allows for dynamic data management.

Connecting to MySQL Database

To connect to a MySQL database using PDO (PHP Data Objects):

php

try {

$pdo = new PDO(‘mysql:host=localhost;dbname=my_database’, ‘username’, ‘password’);

} catch (PDOException $e) {

echo “Connection failed: “ . $e->getMessage();

}

Performing CRUD Operations

CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update, Delete operations on database records.

Create Operation

php

$sql = “INSERT INTO users (name, age) VALUES (:name, :age)”;

$stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql);

$stmt->execute([‘name’ => ‘John’, ‘age’ => 30]);

Read Operation

php

$sql = “SELECT * FROM users”;

$stmt = $pdo->query($sql);

while ($row = $stmt->fetch()) {

echo $row[‘name’] . “<br>”;

}

Update Operation

php

$sql = “UPDATE users SET age = :age WHERE name = :name”;

$stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql);

$stmt->execute([‘age’ => 31, ‘name’ => ‘John’]);

Delete Operation

php

$sql = “DELETE FROM users WHERE name = :name”;

$stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql);

$stmt->execute([‘name’ => ‘John’]);

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in PHP

OOP allows for more organized code through encapsulation and inheritance.

Defining Classes and Objects

You can define classes using the class keyword:

php

class User {

public $name;

public function __construct($name) {

$this->name = $name;

}

public function greet() {

return “Hello, {$this->name}!”;

}

}

$user = new User(“Alice”);

echo $user->greet(); // Outputs: Hello, Alice!

Inheritance in OOP

Inheritance allows one class to inherit properties and methods from another class:

php

class Admin extends User {

public function greet() {

return “Welcome back, Admin {$this->name}!”;

}

}

$admin = new Admin(“Bob”);

echo $admin->greet(); // Outputs: Welcome back, Admin Bob!

Error Handling in PHP

Handling errors gracefully is crucial for maintaining application stability.

Using Try-Catch Blocks

You can catch exceptions using try-catch blocks:

php

try {

// Code that may throw an exception

} catch (Exception $e) {

echo ‘Caught exception: ‘, $e->getMessage(), “\n”;

}

Best Practices for Writing Clean Code

Writing clean code improves maintainability and readability:

Use Meaningful Variable Names: Choose descriptive names for variables and functions.

Keep Functions Short: Each function should perform one task only.

Comment Your Code: Use comments judiciously to explain complex logic but avoid over-commenting obvious code.

Follow Coding Standards: Adhere to consistent coding standards such as PSR (PHP Standards Recommendations).

Advanced Topics in PHP

As you become more comfortable with basic concepts in PHP scripting, it’s time to explore some advanced topics that will enhance your skills further.

Working with Sessions

Sessions allow you to store user information across multiple pages during their visit to your website.

Starting a Session

To use sessions in PHP:

php

session_start(); // Must be called before any output is sent

$_SESSION[‘username’] = ‘JohnDoe’;

Accessing Session Variables

To access session variables on another page:

php

session_start();

echo $_SESSION[‘username’]; // Outputs: JohnDoe

Destroying Sessions

To end a session when it’s no longer needed:

php

session_start();

session_destroy(); // Destroys all data registered to a session

File Handling

PHP provides functions for reading from and writing to files on the server.

Writing Data to Files

You can write data to files using fopen() and fwrite() functions:

php

$file = fopen(“example.txt”, “w”);

fwrite($file, “Hello World!”);

fclose($file);

Reading Data from Files

To read data from files:

php

$file = fopen(“example.txt”, “r”);

$content = fread($file, filesize(“example.txt”));

fclose($file);

echo $content; // Outputs: Hello World!

Using Composer

Composer is a dependency manager for PHP that simplifies package management.

Installing Composer

To install Composer globally on your system:

Download Composer installer from getcomposer.org.

Follow installation instructions based on your operating system.

Using Composer

To create a new project with Composer:

Navigate to your project directory in the terminal.

Run:

bash

composer init

Follow prompts to set up your project configuration.

You can then require packages by running:

bash

composer require vendor/package-name

Security Best Practices

Security should always be a priority when developing web applications with PHP. Here are some key practices:

Input Validation

Always validate user inputs before processing them:

php

$name = filter_input(INPUT_POST, ‘name’, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);

$age = filter_input(INPUT_POST,’age’, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT);

if (!$age) {

die(“Invalid age provided.”);

}

Prepared Statements

Use prepared statements when interacting with databases to prevent SQL injection attacks:

php

$stmt = $pdo->prepare(“SELECT * FROM users WHERE email=:email”);

$stmt->execute([‘email’ => $_POST[‘email’]]);

$user = $stmt->fetch();

Password Hashing

Never store passwords as plain text; always hash them before saving them in the database:

php

$passwordHash = password_hash($passwordInput , PASSWORD_DEFAULT);

// Store `$passwordHash` in the database instead of plain password.

To verify passwords during login:

php

if (password_verify($passwordInput ,$passwordHash)) {

echo ‘Password is valid!’;

} else {

echo ‘Invalid password.’;

}

Debugging Techniques

Debugging is an essential skill for developers when things don’t work as expected.

Enabling Error Reporting

During development phases enable error reporting by adding this line at the top of your script:

php

error_reporting(E_ALL);

ini_set(‘display_errors’, 1);

This will display all errors directly on the page during development which helps identify issues quickly but should be disabled on production sites.

Using Debugging Tools

Tools such as Xdebug provide advanced debugging capabilities including stack traces which help trace issues back through function calls leading up until an error occurs.

Real-World Applications of PHP

Understanding how PHP fits into real-world applications will solidify your knowledge further.

Content Management Systems (CMS)

Many popular CMS platforms such as WordPress are built using PHP. Learning how these systems work can provide insights into best practices for building scalable applications.

WordPress Development: You might want to explore creating themes or plugins which involves understanding hooks and filters within WordPress’s architecture.

E-commerce Platforms

Building e-commerce websites often involves complex functionalities like user authentication systems along with payment gateway integrations which rely heavily on secure coding practices learned through mastering core concepts in PHP development.

Example Project Idea: Create an online store where users can register accounts; add products into their cart; checkout securely using payment gateways like PayPal or Stripe integrated via API calls handled through backend scripts written in php!

RESTful APIs

PHP can also be used to build RESTful APIs which allow different applications or services communicate over HTTP protocols seamlessly exchanging data formats like JSON or XML making it easier integrate third-party services into existing applications without much hassle!

Here’s an example snippet demonstrating how you might set up routes within an API built using php:

php

header(‘Content-Type: application/json’);

$requestMethod=$_SERVER[“REQUEST_METHOD”];

switch ($requestMethod) {

case ‘GET’:

// Handle GET request

break;

case ‘POST’:

// Handle POST request

break;

case ‘PUT’:

// Handle PUT request

break;

case ‘DELETE’:

// Handle DELETE request

break;

default:

http_response_code(405); // Method Not Allowed

break;

}

Common Pitfalls When Learning PHP

As you learn more about writing scripts in php here are some common pitfalls students often face along their journey!

Not Understanding Scope: Variables defined inside functions have local scope meaning they cannot be accessed outside those functions unless explicitly returned or declared global which leads many beginners confused when trying access them elsewhere leading errors being thrown unexpectedly!

Overusing Global Variables: While globals may seem convenient they make tracking down bugs much harder since any part could change its value at any time leading unpredictable behavior instead try pass values around via function parameters whenever possible!

Ignoring Security Measures: Failing implement proper security measures opens doors malicious attacks such as SQL injections so always sanitize inputs validate data before processing anything coming from users!

Neglecting Documentation & Comments: As projects grow larger keeping track becomes increasingly difficult without proper documentation so take time write clear comments explaining logic behind decisions made throughout codebase helps others understand intentions behind design choices later down line!

Not Testing Thoroughly Enough Before Deployment: Always test thoroughly before deploying anything live since bugs missed during development phases could cause significant issues once exposed real-world scenarios especially if sensitive information involved!

Conclusion

Writing perfect PHP scripts requires understanding fundamental concepts as well as best practices in coding standards while avoiding common pitfalls along way!

Like... I tell people that if they want the "It just works" experience, they should install Linux mint and move on with their life.

Now you no longer need to check the news if windows have snuck another thing that spies on you into your PC and you now need to manually turn it off. ( If Linux distro did that it would not have any users 12 months later... so they don't) .

There is no longer ads you risk clicking on by default embedded into your OS and programs. You cannot click on anything bad that can fuck up your machine ( User space protects ) because... it is YOUR computer. It is insane that this level of "don't have to worry. You are safe" is a feature on Linux... that should be a basic thing for every OS...

There is no obfuscation. Anything you want to see, change or control, you can. Everything is made to show you, the user, as clearly as possible what is going on. And if you don't like something, you can change it. 100% of the time. You do not have to hope that a UX designer remembered to give you settings and Daddy Microsoft allows you to do it.

When something is hard to see,understand or change in Linux, it is because it is a complex difficult thing. It is NEVER because a dude gets a salary for optimizing obfuscating how things work.

And it is not MAGIC. People who design and manage linux distroes are not a special race of humans with better ehtics and design skills than the lesser folk of windows and mac

You know what it is? Healthy competition. That thing so many people are in favor for in theory but not in practice.

It is because open source means the distros that get popular is THE ONES THAT THE USERS LIKE THE MOST.

And not just the Linux distro. Every tool. Every functionality. Every program and library. If the users want to use a competitor, they just can.

Like... my sibling in christ... stop begging Microsoft to fix visual studio so everything does not break if a file or folder have a space in it.

It have been 28 years. It is never happening.

Get ovet to Linux. Stop begging for features in Windows. In linux you DEMAND them. In linux you get them.

Because in Linux we BUILD them.

"I like windows. It just works."

No Jim.

No the fuck it doesn't.

Starting with Go Development: Setting Up, Writing Your First Program, and Tools

Starting with Go Development: Setting Up, Writing Your First Program, and Tools

Embarking on a journey into a new programming language, starting a go project is both exhilarating and challenging. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the world of Go (or Golang), renowned for its simplicity, performance, and efficiency. Our focus will be on mastering the essentials, from setting up your Go development environment to writing your inaugural program, and getting acquainted with powerful development tools.

Setting Up Your Go Environment:  Every successful venture into a new programming language begins with setting up the development environment. Fortunately, Go streamlines this process. Whether you are a seasoned Go developer or a newcomer, the importance of having the latest Go development tools cannot be overstated.

Installation: Navigate to the official [Go website](https://golang.org/dl) and download the latest version tailored for your platform. Mac and Windows users can simplify the process further using package managers like Homebrew or Chocolatey.

Validation:  Post-installation, validate your setup by opening a terminal or command prompt and typing:

$ go version  This command should display the installed Go version. If not, a revisit to the installation steps is in order.  Your First Go Program:  With your environment set up, let’s embark on the journey of writing your first Go program and starting a go project. We’ll guide you through creating a simple “Hello, World!” program, breaking down the basic structure of a Go file. We’ll cover crucial elements like package declaration, imports, and the main function.

package main

import “fmt”

func main() {  fmt.Println(“Hello, world!”)  }  Go Modules:  The concept of Go modules will be introduced, illustrating how to initialize a module for your project using the `go mod init` command. This sets the groundwork for managing dependencies and versioning in your Go projects and starting a go project

$ go mod init hello_world  go: creating new go.mod: module hello_world  Code Formatting with go fmt:  We’ll explore the significance of consistent code formatting and introduce the `go fmt` command. This powerful tool automatically formats your code according to Go’s style conventions, enhancing readability and maintainability.  func main()  {  fmt.Println(“Hello, world!”)  }  Linting with go vet:  A discussion on the `go vet` command will follow, highlighting its role in identifying potential errors in your code that might slip through during compilation. We’ll emphasize the importance of maintaining high code quality.

Choosing Your Development Tools:  While a basic text editor and the command line suffice for smaller projects, larger endeavors benefit from robust development tools. We’ll delve into popular Go Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as Visual Studio Code and GoLand, exploring their features, including code completion, syntax highlighting, and debugging capabilities.

The Go Playground:  The Go Playground, a web-based tool for experimenting with Go code snippets, will be introduced. Its utility for quick code trials and code sharing without local installations will be emphasized.

Makefiles and Automation:  For larger projects, automation becomes paramount. We’ll introduce Makefiles as a means to automate common tasks such as formatting, linting, and building Go programs. A step-by-step guide to creating a basic Makefile and its practical applications will be provided.

Go Compatibility Promise:  Ensuring backward compatibility is a high priority for Go. We’ll explain the Go Compatibility Promise, assuring developers that programs compiled with different Go versions can coexist seamlessly. This commitment aims to avoid breaking changes in language or standard library.

Staying Up-to-Date:  The importance of keeping your Go tools up-to-date will be highlighted. Guidance on updating Go on different platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, and BSD, will be provided to ensure developers have access to the latest features and bug fixes.

Exercises:  The blog will conclude with a set of engaging exercises designed to reinforce the concepts covered. Readers will be encouraged to run the “Hello, World!” program on The Go Playground, enhance the Makefile with a ‘clean’ target, and experiment with code formatting. This hands-on approach ensures a practical understanding and application of the discussed topics.

Conclusion:  In this expansive guide, we’ve covered the fundamental steps of setting up your Go development environment, writing your first program, and introducing you to essential tools. Whether you’re a novice or experienced developer, mastering these basics is a crucial step towards becoming proficient in Go development. Stay tuned for the next chapter, where we’ll explore Go’s built-in types and delve deeper into the language’s features. Happy coding!
