It is sad, both @pujan and @malleus are no longer active on Lowyat.NET forum.

I miss also @bumpo, a regular in Codemaster in the past.

rust offline meetup 2023 is back, on febuary 8th next week, Marcus Lee will give a talk on The journey to Rust from a student hosted in pantas software in bangsar south, food will be provided so rsvp if going.

It is sad, both @pujan and @malleus are no longer active on Lowyat.NET forum.

I miss also @bumpo, a regular in Codemaster in the past.

Here "Codemaster" is so quiet, basically just angch, 15cm and flashang are active. Where's the rest?

No wonder new forum by pujan also closed down.

May be only junior in certain tech area will have a lot of questions and wish to have discussion.

For expert, they are able to find solution.

Further more, if you're in some projects,
NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) prevent you to share what you're doing.

We do share and discuss advanced topics, outside of projects. Just not here. Audience and expectations are different.

What do y'all wanna discuss about?

Discussion seeding: https://surveys.jetbrains.com/s3/developer-...-survey-2023-sh is a survey that's chock full of interesting software and alternatives. Do it, and get a chance to win a Macbook Pro or an RTX4090.

e.g. Clickhouse (OLAP) and Exasol (in-memory analytics) as databases.

You have to start it first lah. It's on the header on the next page.

may be 1st and 2nd time choose something different,
some interesting questions was not appear in 2nd time.

anywhere, thanks for sharing.

P/S only 2nd time submit. 1st time was accidentally closed.

I wonder what they mean by prize draw from "meaningful answers" only? If I don't select JetBrain product(s) in the survey means I have less chance to meet their criteria? Hmm.....

I think some questions are designed to be correlated. So if the answers to some questions don't match, very likely you were just clicking through the survey.

Ah thanks, then I think I have chance to win prize, although I am not JetBrain products user.

Oh, I think there were only very few new posts in Codemasters since the last two months!

"i cannot tahan do freelancing anymore" by 15cm on 29 May

"Coding challenge" by codercoder on 9 May

"how to share my Python program with friend?" by adam_lew85 on 26 Apr

Other than that, is only regular like flashang who started new topic on 19 May and 3 Jun.

The rest are almost me myself do the talking (with multiple accounts)..... Should I keep posting in Codemaster and become centre of attention.... It is quite embarrassing....

This survey also list out those "new & popular" tools.

The prize winner will be announced in the next few days, if I remember correctly, haha. Are you excited?

As more people calling shell copy and echo, less skill and knowledge is required.
It just how much you could squeeze the command. (e.g. echo 4 => ls 4)
Make the code non-human readable friendly, is very bad coding style.

Rely on system undocumented behavior (or using bugs),
can only work when patches is not update,
have no meaning for most development.

May be they should think some better contest next time.

This is a competition set up by security researchers, what do you expect? 

But my original reply is about survey prize winner, not BGGP4.  Are you hoping to win Mac Book Pro? 

For most people, preferred phone, Android if you use a lot of 3rd party apps.

Apple products may only for apple fans.

As for Amazon certificate / JetBrains Products Pack,
if you're currently using / looking for their products ...
