I wouldn't quite use this as a solid recommendation (because gross php), but on a web server with PHP and MySQL, you could use phpMyAdmin which is a database manager packed into a GUI.

I apologize if this isn't what you are looking for, though

I'm more looking to make my own app (hoping it can be something to show potential employers) so just trying to figure out what the best language to use would be, but that looks like it might be useful for testing, so I don't have to add/remove/change test data manually.

im now inspired to make a app, but im lazy. though my computer science teacher has a poster on his door about something with google play, you create ideas for a game and give that idea to google, and they connect you with developers and get it made, or something like that. i been meaning to ask him about it.

That feel when someone tried to solve a problem using inheritance and he still managed to clutter the base class with specifica...

Malicious executables are programs designed to work by themselves. They're written in a programming language and compiled before being send through the internet to their targets. If you run them, then you will have a problem.

Now this is true no matter what language they design it in?

I think I'm at that point where I'm reading source code just to get stuck on a comment and immediately think to myself: "It's nice that you tell me what this piece of code does. But why explain to me the same thing the code tells me and not tell me _why_ you put it here?"

Language doesn't matter. They all use the same blueprints.

I mean it matters to some extent. Otherwise there would be no reason for different ones to even exist.

The purpose of all traditional languages is, at the end of the day, to create things that do things. Different languages aren't just created to make different things—they're also made to change how the same thing can be made. :) Any tool can be used with malicious intent; programming languages are no different.

The inherent 'security' of a language (when e.g. used for malicious purposes) isn't moulded so much by the language itself but rather by other factors surrounding the language—such as the platforms and architectures that support it.

But then, presumably, those languages evolve and take their own shape after it has fulfilled its original purpose.

hey pals. anyone here into typescript? i've fallen in love with it over the past few months

I've started working with looking at JSON files and parsing them. What a fun journey that has been, considering how some are easily formatted, while others are a mess to even find anything.

It's made debugging so much easier since I started using it, love it too.

What code editor do you all use? I moved from sublime to VSCode not that long ago and I'm really enjoying it so far. Having git right there saves me so much time.

Same exactly

what kinda stuff do you do omi? web dev?

I've been making more and more use of VS Code lately as well, although I wish you could set up proper projects rather than have an open folder all the time.

Yeah, I've been doing mostly web dev and some programming in c for personal projects and some Python and Java for school as well.

I've used Sublime for a while but ditched it a couple months ago. Instead I've returned to good old Vim. Well, NeoVim, because everyone and their mother says it's better. Don't know, though. I'm certainly not impressed by it. In general it feels rather...unpolished.

I'm just lazy and continue using Atom. Actually just setup a some scripts that automatically install all of the packages that I work with and synced it to my MEGA account. Should make setting it up on new computers quite simple.

VSCode and Vim are both quite nice as well.

I also like Atom personally, it was the first editor I used. It's simple, it gets the job done, and most importantly, there's nothing about it that annoys me lol I don't remember which other editors I've tried, but I've always gone back to Atom fairly quickly. There's definitely something to be said for familiarity.

Do you have a particular favorite fee code editor that you use? Since Atom is free to use or is it still the best despite there being no paywall?

vscode > atom
atom was so frustrating to me when i had to use it for school... stop opening with a million welcome tabs and then lagging out
