Why does every web things need to have node js these days? Do you use it for all of your projects? Does it add a lot of complexity to your stack?
What is your comfiest stack /g/? From server to css processor

no idea

It allows same people to write server side and client side logic. This is very important when you are a freelancer, you can be a one men army without learning two languages (lowers entry barriers), and is mildly important for bigger companies (your employees are more universal so it's easier to manage projects). Those advantages are helped by the fact that most web frameworks were bad anyway so it's not like nodejs+whatever is that much worse. Additionally switch to node is most of the time a business decision, and those are not made by people who know that much about programming.
JS is easy (at least on the surface) and a lot of people know it - even non-programmers, like frontend developers. By bringing JS to the backend, everyone who can do JS, can do the whole stack. Cloud services take away the complexity of operations. The end result: People who were previously restricted to shifting pixels around are now empowered to build an entire application by themselves. And that's appealing.
Consequently, when looking into the Node ecosystem, you find a vibrant community of people building lots of awesome stuff. At least it appears to be awesome from the outside. I frequently have to read 3rd party Node code, and I've seen things I could only attribute to a monkey with a keyboard. Bad practices all over the place. Although is plenty of quality code too, a lot of the rest reeks of bad practices. That code was written by a person capable of the language, but ignorant of software engineering practices.
On the bright side, Node stuff is usually exceedingly well tested and people value strict CI and coverage tests. So if you're looking to use a Node library, it's pretty safe to do so, regardless of code quality.
I use Node in the build pipeline for browser-side JS and Sass, as well as for some server-side micro services with a very small interface and feature set.

I was getting my keyboards trackpoint to work.
>>54302808
Trackpoint, hm? I've never used those.
So /g/, how do I go about getting started on pursuing this potentially pointless but personally fulfilling task of mine.
My girlfriend and I are 22 and we still play video games and MTG. We think the kinds of backstories and lore behind our favorite games and movies are fascinating and we have an appreciation for the time and imagination that goes into some of the more successful and even some of the less successful ones that we personally like.
So we have ideas for video games and the universes and lore behind them. Before we die, we want to make these games, and I'm wondering how I should begin this as far as programming goes. Should I learn a programming language and that language's tools for graphics and user input before thinking about how the mechanics of the games would work? Or should I outline my ideal game mechanics and consider programming languages that would be better optimized for what I want?
We would never use RPG Maker, Game Maker, or anything with the tagline that sounds like "Easy enough for a 2 year old, flexible enough for a Ubisoft developer." We want to do everything the absolute hard way because in all honesty it's the only way to make a game (or any computer program for that matter) that isn't bloated copy pasta code bullshit.
tl;dr gf and i want to make and code our own games. Do we learn to program first or plan our games and then decide what tools are best? what languages are even good?
pic related, need a language that can do both resource-heavy and lightweight stuff, even if it takes learning to create my own libraries/extensions or using costly proprietary software
thanks for any advice you can give
>>54301303
i don't know how to program, but i think the best way to look of what is possible alone with the tools in the past is roller coaster tycoon written on C solely

Are any of these books worth reading? Are there better alternatives?

what website is this
>>54306809
If you don't know any programming yet, then I've been told that Automate the Boring Stuff With Python is supposed to be really great.
I was thinking about buying a physical copy for my younger brother.
>>54306821
oh nvm humblebundle, didn't know they had book deals now. Cool!
And yes those books are pretty well regarded and known for quality tbqh.
Nostarch press books are good, easy to read and follow. It's not the most technical-filled book but I'm guessing you're not an expert if you have to ask anyways

I'd say that having both monitors at the same time is the perfect combination. One for reading and the other for shit and giggles.

Hey /g/ I am in need of a PC, nothing fancy, just some Libre office and posting of dank memes.
But a new P.C cabinet will cost me a lot and the amount of stuff I'll have to buy is phenomenally mind fuckin(hard disk, ram, mother board). I already got the monitor, keyboard and other peripherals but need the main guy.
What do you suggest under 100$ range like that of a mini p.c or a SBC?
>>54303167
You should try not being poor. that's your best option if all you have is $100
Intel Galileo and Edison are Intel's contrived offerings to the open-source SBC "maker community" shills. I think they're like, idk 80$ or something.

No. It's like buying a used car. The several hundred bucks in savings isn't worth it.
