CodeTriage VS bitburner

3. Open Source Contribution

I wrote a book with a chapter on how to write docs for other people’s code https://howtoopensource.dev

I also wrote an open source tool for writing and testing tutorials https://github.com/zombocom/rundoc and another that will email you undocumented methods of open source code so you can practice writing documentation https://www.codetriage.com/.

CodeTriage helps you contribute to open source by “picking a handful of open issues and delivering them directly to your inbox”. (Source: CodeTriage)

Here are open source projects listed https://www.codetriage.com/ You can filter for "C".

The biggest untaped potential (IMHO) is not one company funding 1 full time maintainer, but EVERY company allowing and encouraging EVERY developer to help and work with open source. This was the basis of my web app https://www.codetriage.com/. I have a chapter on it in my book How to Open Source (https://howtoopensource.dev/), and I talked to Yehuda about it for about an hour after my last talk at Philly ETE.

You can also use websites like up-for-grabs, goodfirstissue, or CodeTriage to find projects with open issues. Find one that looks easy or interesting to you and comment on it, asking if you can take a shot at it.

I recommend these resources to help you contribute https://www.codetriage.com/ (free) and https://howtoopensource.dev/ (paid). DM if you can’t afford a copy.

Bitburner which is available on steam or web which is more sci fi/hacking themed. it's a very complex life loop game that involves coding heavily. There is a pseudo code script in the game in which you can write programs to hack others and eventually restart with cybernetic implants. You can even ditch the pseudo script and code directly in java in the game. The end game is quite fun and fulfilling. I haven't even gotten through it yet.

Nope, ports communicate "in RAM" only, i.e. when you close and re-open the game (or complete a BitNode [and maybe also if you install augs? Don't know]) they're cleared. Ports can be accessed via ns.writePort() and ns.peek() or ns.readPort() and be cleared manually with ns.clearPort(). The docs have syntax and description of all the in-game functions.

Here's a list of functions if you want to take a look at what's available. https://github.com/danielyxie/bitburner/blob/dev/markdown/bitburner.ns.md

RTFM for [ns.ps()](https://github.com/danielyxie/bitburner/blob/dev/markdown/bitburner.ns.ps.md) and ns.killall() ;)

Bitburner.

Looking at the Warehouse API, the only way to get information on a product is to already know the product name. However if I, for example, restart my corp script after augment installs with a corporation already running, I wouldn't have any of my product names in memory. I know that, given that you can only ever have at most 5 products at a time, I could just create a static list of 5 product names and infer my current production from there but it would be nice to not have to do that and be able to run a function like getProducts that would pull a dictionary/list of the current products for me. I'm generally trying to avoid coding w/ try/catch blocks so something like that would be nice.

However, if you have access to formulas at whatever time you're running this script, you can try fitting in the ns.Formulas.growPercent(target, maxGrowThreads, ns.getPlayer()) method.
