Google App Engine App Gallery shuts down, Reddit page to act as new gallery

-
Google App Engine's(GAE) gallery of featured applications located at http://appgallery.appspot.com shutdown sometime in the month of November this year.

A visit to http://appgallery.appspot.com gives the following message

The App Gallery is no longer available. This page should redirect you to the App Engine docs. If not, please click on: App Engine Docs

According to a post on a thread on the GAE Google Group, Ikai Lan(Google Staff) clarified
... App Gallery was something that was really awesome in App Engine's infancy, but App Engine has since matured a bit and it's really not the best way to showcase App Engine's capabilities. We've decommissioned it. If you're interested in App Engine happenings, you'll definitely want to regularly check out our Reddit page:


The Reddit page is located at http://www.reddit.com/r/appengine


The gallery was apparently pulled down without prior notice and users at the thread can be seen voicing their dissent.

Hopefully, AppEngine won't suffer the same fate.

Run Visual Studio Code Natively on Termux Proot Ubuntu or Other Linux Distribution

-
 I recently got back to Android because I came across an article on installing Ubuntu "natively" on Android without systemd via Termux and proot. I will link relevant articles as I update this post. After I installed Ubuntu via proot, I searched for ways to get a GUI running. This can be done via VNC Server. Again, I will link relevant articles later. Then, I looked for ways to get VS Code running and found that most guides propose installing code-server and then accessing Code via a browser, which has some limitations with extensions. I would propose using vscode.dev instead if you generally have a good network connection on your phone. Because I had a gui running from step 2, I installed VS Code as you would normally on Ubuntu (from a .deb file or using the tar.gz file available for download for arm64 on the VS code website. I realised that I could not install .deb files on a stripped down Ubuntu environment (it worked when I installed ubuntu-desktop instead of gnome deskto...

CS50: "undefined reference to `GetString' " and other errors

I was going through the CS50 lectures of Fall 2011. CS50 recommends using the CS50 Appliance which is a VirtualBox installation of Fedora with libraries and software needed for the CS50 course. However, if you are already running a flavour of Linux (Ubuntu 12.04 in the case of this article) and want to do the examples natively, read on. On Linux, the CS50 manual gives instructions on how to install the CS50 Library for C  for Linux ( Fedora / Ubuntu ). After installing the CS50 Library for C, I tried running some samples. While making pointers.c in the Week 5 lecture, I came across this error $make pointers cc     pointers.c   -o pointers pointers.c: In function ‘main’: pointers.c:27:5: error: ‘for’ loop initial declarations are only allowed in C99 mode pointers.c:27:5: note: use option -std=c99 or -std=gnu99 to compile your code make: *** [pointers] Error 1 If instead of using make, you use gcc pointers .c you will get a similar error.
