I have tried to use Bottles on my Steam Deck, because I have old CDs of Windows XP and older games, like Wacky Races, Re-Volt, etc., I can copy the files off the CD, into a folder on my Steam Deck and then run the installer as a non-Steam G

I have a wierd urge to add Gitlab CI to this so that any tagged commit creates a release containing all assets (PDF, ePub, HTML), and a manual job on any commit does the same without a release (stored in Gitlab Generic Package Registry or j

Sometimes, for extremely simple uses, when I don't want the hassle of selecting a Docker container that has jq, I'll just use a Python oneliner so I don't have to learn extra syntax, can use Python's list comprehensions,

To me, it's readable because it usually only does very basic operations, in batch, like arithmetics, simple SQL requests and some if statements. It forces you to declare all variables once, at the beginning of the file, nothing dynamic

I'm 31 and my first job was in COBOL for a big mortgage company. To me, it's impossible that people lack COBOL skills, I was ready to push code to production in less than a week, so I started with a one-week self-teach COBOL which

Same here, I have so many questions, are they gonna provide tutorials on how to make money, is it in any way related to Gitlab as a product, is it about directly giving away money, I mean it could be a pyramid scheme for all we know...

It's also possible that Win7/8 users won't even notice and continue to use it, and receive updates. I don't think the Steam client has separate builds for different Windows versions, dropping support can mean many things

It's nice and there are use cases for it, but if I ever need something like it, I'll prolly just explain what I want to ChatGPT and tell it what regexp engine I'm using, and it'll give me results I'll paste to regex

Double-check with what source? The one mentionned in docs.github.com? I assume it's safe because the SSL cert for docs.github.com is probably not compromised, so it's giving us the right key, and compromising docs.github.com would

(I'm not an expert but I'll tell you what I think I understand) As explained by other comments, secure hash functions don't behave in "predictable" ways when you change the input in a "small" way. LLMs and

I've asked myself the same a couple years ago, auditing yourself is impossible, it could be done by a third party but it'd be expensive if they do it for your particular use case. Another possibility, still by third parties, but a

I think package management is something so important you either have to get it right on the first released version of the language, or never release an official one at all. So if you look at C, there was basically no internet or even HTTP,

My neighboor did this too and I can see myself following the same path later in life, this seems like a nice thing to do. Salary would probably take a dip (depends on where I'd teach), and I'd have to calculate first if I can affo

Never "down" from last job, but interviewed with 3 companies, got 3 offers, and after a lot of thought, picked the worst salary out of 3, still it was a little better than what I was doing before. Chose shorter commute, and many s

I love this kind of introduction to "simple" formats! Thanks for sharing. Always a good insight to know how the basic concepts of these work without needing hours of learning deep specific knowledge that you'd only spend if y
