I don't know, I managed to complete a few games, one with SDL2 and a few with libgdx. But could never complete anything with a "GUI engine" (don't know what the terminology is) like Godot or Unity. When everything is cod

I can confirm it was indeed caused by smooth scrolling. I didn't realize there was a setting.

Is it really vim if you don't have modes and can't combine operations ;p. Everything is pretty much single keystrokes that don't combine in any meaningful way. The only "vim" thing about it is h/j/k/l

If I'm buying a SIM, there's a physical cost to manufacture the thing. There's no such cost with eSIMs. Also, to sell me a physical SIM, the telecom has to employ somebody to stand there and sell me a SIM. With an eSIM there&

I wish the prices were even remotely competitive, every time I check and compare, it's always _significantly cheaper_ to just get a SIM locally. I just checked Morocco, and it's $31.50 for 5GB. I think I paid 7$ for 20GB or someth

Anything that can be mass produced, yes. Anything that requires bespoke work with dexterity, unlikely. I think it's much more likely LLMs become good enough to replace programmers before we have robots replacing plumbers.

I really wish there was some accurate physiological test that could be used to determine if you had ADHD or not. I _strongly_ suspect I have it. As a child I could never "focus". My parents being academics from the USSR didn'

It's added but taxed differently. You are correct, I got the details wrong. I should have just written there are tax advantages to not being PAYE. Writing a concrete number (especially when I wasn't sure about the details), was ba

So all the comments made me start second guessing myself, so I went and checked. The difference is pretty staggering to me. You also don't pay national insurance on your dividend income, which helps. But you are right, you add the inco

The problem with the UK is that tax is pretty much setup to destroy the "middle class". Anyone that is a PAYE (pay as you earn) employee gets taxed significantly more than anyone outside the system. The common thing to do is to st

This article can be summarized as "I use Pulsar because that's what I'm used too" combined with incorrect "facts" about other editors and some shit slinging at them. Nothing they describe about Pulsar is unique

I wonder if intent matters. I think it's pretty obvious from the $1 car case that the guy was intentionally trying to break the bot. In this case, it's much more plausible that it was a genuine misunderstanding. I'm obviously

Maybe, but it's harder. If I had to grow my own fruit and vegetables, I probably wouldn't and just wouldn't eat them. My argument isn't that it's impossible to be healthy in such places, just that it's harder.

This is such an over simplification. What about people who have knowledge and are unable to be healthy? There are "food deserts" where due to geography/economics it's difficult to purchase healthy food. There was an arti

Ha, systemd is basically my git. I'm always surprised by how many developers don't grok git despite understanding significantly more complex things. I keep thinking if they would just take a day or two, they would get it and then

Yes! That's exactly what I'm picturing. Running i3wm/sway (depending if I get X11 or Wayland) with N number of monitors laid out like I want. Then the actual development happens on my laptop or maybe the cloud with something

He's _probably_ right that for the majority of people, the Quest would be better. Towards the end, when he starts talking about the open vs closed model, I find it pretty depressing that meta is the "open" model in this case.

It's what got me off FF for a long time. I stuck around on FF 52 ESR(I think?) for ages, the last version to work with pentadactyl. Then I finally switched to Chrome because it was much faster than FF and my extensions were dead anyway

It's amazing how many people came to the same idea independently. At my old gig I created "the sackinator" (getting sacked = getting fired). It was a cronjob that dumped the entire AD directory nightly and then a script to di

Around 4-5 years ago, I saw a lot of IronPython used by data analysts using Spotfire[0]. I've seen Jython used to write an IDE on top of Eclipse. I'm guessing almost nobody uses it for their SaaS, but outside of that, these runtim

I wonder if nowadays you can just ask ChatGPT to negotiate for you. Personally, I hate negotiating salary and the games that come along with it. I usually go in with a number in my head and if they can't meet it, I just thank them for

I've seen that sentiment a lot, I don't buy it. Google pays for Firefox so they can claim they are not a monopoly. I'm hopeful that if people have a choice on iOS, then Apple would invest more on their browser.
