Programmer Humor@programming.dev•How I, a non-developer, read the tutorial you, a developer, wrote for me, a beginner - annie's blog
3·2 months agoThat said, it has to be structured so that it’s really clear that those “explanation bits” are optional reading for the curious which have the knowhow to understand them
Yep, totally. This past year I spent a lot of time setting up an LMS with content.
I included sections that were tips, good to know, for awareness, etc.Maybe only 1 out of every 20 users might expand the section, but if they do then there is a clear explanation of why this particular thing functions this way and how to make it work in alternate usecases. Images and explanation, before and after, etc.

3·2 months agoI Prefer a playbook to a recipe card. The playbook should spell out the goal and the 'why’s of the steps. Because if the process throws an error due to upgraded code etc, then you can be stuck at step one with no path forward. With some playbook annotation you at least know expected out come and why you are running a command etc.
When I have gone to docker hub I always view multiple images and see what their writeup is like. Some just assume you 100% know all dockers subtleties, some have a one liner, but there will be a helpfull soul who spells out what steps to do, and what the best options to set etc. Like a mini tutorial.
I find the mini tutorial to be widely beneficial, because it removes the blackbox nature, and gives new onboarding users a chance to grasp the concepts docker works with.
It’s like the difference between going to a mechanic that has you sit by the coffee machine in the office while they change your brakes and they come back and say “I swapped the new pads in”, vs them pulling up a chair in the shop and explaining the process “here I’m wirebrushing the back of the wheel and the hub, to make sure when it goes back on there is no corrosion debris stopping a parallel fit…now I’m applying high temp grease so that the hub and wheel don’t sieze together from corrosion and make next removal easy”
The info is probably useless to a seasoned mechanic that had a broken hand so had somebody else do their brake work, but highly useful to the next gen of person that can absorb it and know whats and whys.

3·2 months agoYeah, I use a software that had amazing documentation when they had a publishing company division. When the publisher was gone the documentation is at most a glorified of glossary.

Yeah sounds like they hired you to clean their license violation. So in court they could say “of course our code looks like theirs, they worked for us” Sorry to hear you got screwed over dude. And thanks for posting for awareness. Take it as an early life lesson and put your passion to work elsewhere.

Technology@beehaw.org•How Nissan leveraged its driver assist to cut traffic jams
10·3 months agoHumans could do it too, but there is always this selfish asshole ruining it. We have that exiting Richmond Vancouver area. Everyone is doing 100km/h and there is no congestion ahead, but there is a merge in lane from an alternate route behind, so the asshole sees that as a way to get ahead before the merge in tapers off. So they pull out speed to end of lane, dart in dangerously and have to heavy brake to slow to traffic speed. The reduced space makes the car behind heavy brake and that processes backwards until traffic starts to halt. If asshole had stayed in the flow, there would be no stop happen on the highway
Android already had WiFi Direct, this change just brings Apple and Android into the same sharing room.
