👋 Welcome to Tipsrundan! A biweekly newsletter by AFRY IT South with ❤️
Kompetenslunches, git supertools and how many times does someone actually copy a snippet out of Stack Overflow? That's just a few of the items in todays Tipsrundan. I hope you enjoy it!
Martin Furmanski recommends git diff main...branch which not only diffs main but actually diffs from the latest common commit, just like if you had rebased on top of main.
I've already used this one multiple times and love it! Read more on Matthew Bretts short explanation here.
Seam Carving is a way to resize an image by removing "empty space".
In this Kompetenslunch we'll go through an algorithm doing exactly that.
The algorithm itself is very simple and clean, yet powerful and efficient enough for usage.
How: ~25 minute presentation & a QA afterwards
When: Wednesday 12th of May
Where: MS Teams Link
P.S. This is a competence activity 🎉
David Everlöf recommends:
Ask and you shall receive! Not sure about the terminal command? Let this little fella help you out.
40 million times in 2 weeks. Yes that's right. And more unanswered posts are copied than ones with answered questions. Without going in depth on how creepy this tracking is the statistics are really cool and is for sure worth looking at!
Let's start with an excerpt, because I feel like it might be necessary:
.. About a year ago, though, I started to form a strange idea: That Java is the right language for all jobs. (I pause here while you vomit in your mouth.)
With this in mind I think the author brings forward some good arguments, especially on the good and bad parts. Personally I would trade Java for something like Kotlin or Java, but the argument would stay the same. Even inserting Go or something else.
A language with a solid foundation and good typing is always a good start.
Huh? This actually is a huge use-case of firecracker-VM (or as they call it 'microVMs') which we included in Tipsrundan a while back.
Who doesn't enjoy working in a REPL? I for sure do! But sometimes it's hard because you really really long for that autocomplete you get in a IDE. The Jetbrains team now introduces KI which is a interactive REPL, including autocomplete.
Thank you for this time see you in two weeks
