The goal is to have my screen rotate to normal and start Barrier (keyboard and mouse share software) on boot up.

So, i have a laptop laying on top of my desktop monitor that i use kinda like a second monitor. But it boots up with the display sideways and i have to login to be able to use mouse and keyboard from my desktop.

I have tried everything to get a systemd service to handle those problems. But no luck, i think the service isnt running properly on boot. Please help me out.

Let me know if there is a better community to post to or if additional info is needed. Thanks.

i'm going to design and build a "programmer's numpad", because I'm sick of awkward hand movements for writing brackets with numbers and commas and spaces etc. here's the first draft. make your modifications here: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/ i'm thinking of adding another column, putting something between the numbers and the plus/minus.

Hey all, I have 2 questions. I am an experienced iOS/macOS engineer. And have only recently started to open-source my work and future work.

Initially I was getting some traction on my first public repo, but the rest are getting close to none as if my profile was pushed by Github's algorithm and then forgotten maybe.

Although I have been consistent for the past month in updates and changes to many of my repos.

Question 1: Is there a possibility I am not appearing in searches for some reason? Or is it simply that my work is not of a quality standard to see the expected traffic, which is great to know in itself.

Question 2: Does anyone have advice on sourcing feedback on their public projects, mostly consisting of SDKs/Tooling? I literally do not have friends/relatives/mentors in my field/expertise that I can talk too and it's quite difficult to survive simply on YouTube videos/podcasts/articles/other repos/online anecdotes and/or professional work experience to understand if my approach/mentality is on the right path for many of my projects. Most of my current experience comes from working professionally, but to scale independently is quite difficult. I specifically am talking about design patterns or building tooling using libraries such as Metal.

Hey everyone first time fullstack noob here, novice python, JS and CSS/HTML dev in the middle of development for a Fullstack Django React Native app, the thing is I made a mess out of my modules and nodes trying to compile with 95 no module found error on the expo CLI, I started with npm and the tried yarn since it was recommended and I ended up with a sorry mess. So since the Django backend API is already running on the messy project I’m going for the new project copy paste old code approach, the front end also has components and screens that may need a few touches but the bulk is already there. I not sure about the proper order and want to make extra sure I have the appropriate folder/project creation order so the compiling and installation is as streamlined as possible as well as the creation of the venv; on the last project I had two that had hardcoded the paths for the django folder and the frontend one since I had some issues with my project finding the appropriate folder, so that’s the right approach? at which time during the creation of the projects should the venv creation happen or more precisely which project should be created first with its corresponding venv, Django or React Native Expo, since as far as I understand there’s an ideal order that will create and setup some specs automatically. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

I am looking to purchase a license for Windows but am unclear on where to do this. I am specifically interested in a retail key license. I was initially considering purchasing a license from the Microsoft Store, but there were a few online posts deterred me from using this source, primarily because it a digital license to my understanding.

I've read a few posts that say how digital keys are tied to the motherboard, similar to OEM licenses. The whole reason I want a retail license is so it is not tied to my motherboard, and I can transfer it if I replace the motherboard at some point or build a new PC later on. It looks like the MS store only offers digital licenses though from what I can see. Or maybe number of transfers in a digital license is limited (it is unclear to me)?

There was a post on MS's Answers forum saying it is a digital license tied to my account, not a key license. I'm okay with a license tied to my account, but he had difficulties actually getting it to work since it wasn't a key that was simply emailed to him or something like that, so I'm hesitant to purchase a digital license from the Microsoft store and would rather purchase a key license that I can just type in at installation or first startup.

So I am interested in a legit source to purchase a retail key license, not an OEM license and not a digital license. But it is unclear where to actually do this. Any clarity on confusion on my part or suggestions for where to purchase such a license would be greatly appreciated?

I'm not sure what other community to post this question in so I hope it is okay to post here.

I don't really want to go in depth into programming, I just want to know what I'm looking at if I ever come across anything like that at my job (mechanical engineering) and maybe solve some simple problems.

I learned C and Java in my first year in college, but it's all mostly forgotten. I'm leaning towards Python since I read it's relatively simple and used a lot nowadays, and it's what my teachers used later on in college anyway.

What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance!

Are there communities focused on data storage and processing? I'm looking for one where people talk a lot about databases (No/SQL), message brokers (eg Kafka or RabbitMQ) and data retrieval/processing patterns.

I'd create one such, but I already know I haven't got the time to mod anything.

So, I've been promoted to Senior Engineer in the last couple of months and that felt really good because I felt that people recognized my efforts to progress and that my dedication paid off. The problem is that, as a senior, I am supposed to become more part of the recruitment processes, through code review candidates applications, interviewing, etc. All fine by me, but sometimes I get haunted by the too familiar Imposter Syndrome when looking at the code submissions of some candidates for some of the challenges we ask them, I am supposed to be evaluating people that in some cases have (at my eyes) solutions that I would not be able to implement in such detail or finesse and some times I end up spending some hours going through some solutions just to grasp everything that a candidate has done. Am I an imposter or is this just another phase of the process?
