Your thoughts seem similar to mine. Going overboard with the colors just turns it all into visual noise. But cutting down as far as they have removes useful colors. I've always thought the default Visual Studio color scheme was a nice

> I'm actually wondering why PC games never converged on a "left joy-con" style controller with a stick and buttons, for one hand, while the other hand holds the mouse. I guess the ordinary keyboard is good enough so there

Yep! It was a very cool idea, though you were seriously lacking in easily accessible buttons so I didn't stick with it.

I think the problem I had with the left-half controller layout is that it still used A and B but they were hard to press. Same problem with holding 2 controllers in the center. The N64 controller definitely was not the greatest design for s

Forgive me sounding like Claude, but you’re absolutely right! I’ve played platformers from that era recently but it’s been a long time since I touched the shooters. I was mixing them up in my recollection. The shooters had a weird mix and f

Some people get very emotional about the games that they play and will pay to have them DDoSed because of something or someone they're angry about. Others just love to cause chaos and will happily buy a DDoS attack to screw other peopl

That's really strange because that setup was effectively the default for N64 games. Stick under your left thumb for movement and the C buttons under your right thumb for camera control

What was remapped for PC? I don't have a PS5 so PC is how I played R&C:RA and I don't recall there being any difference in how the trigger pulls were interpreted between having adaptive triggers enabled or disabled.

It really is! I switched to using uv just 2 weeks ago. Previously I had been dealing with maintaining a ton of batch jobs that used: global packages (yes, sudo pip install), manually managed virtualenvs, and docker containers. uv beats all

I think that's because it's super common to use cat to quickly view a file. It has the nice property of using your terminal's scrollback rather than putting you into a pager application. For that use-case it is an alternative

Can confirm on the gigabit because I've got my gigabit internet running over old phone line right now. I'm not sure exactly how long the run is, but it goes to this floor's electrical room where the ONT is housed into a close

Not to mention that the codec barely tells you anything useful on its own. There are many parameters that affect the quality and file size. And heck it's not even guaranteed that you will be able to watch a video just given its codec.

Aaaand there we go. I literally just ran into a problem with code someone had used AI to write which does this log and continue nonsense. Process spent 30 minutes looping through API requests and failing to persist the response on every sin

That's funny but definitely not far off from reality. I have instructions from my agent to use exceptions but they only help so much. I really dislike their underuse of exceptions. I'm working on ETL/ELT scripts. Just let stu

Why doesn't it matter? A VPS is still someone else's computer. They could be monitoring what you're doing on there because they run the hypervisor and they have physical access.

I wouldn't be surprised. They probably have like .com, .net, .org, .gov, .edu and maybe some ccTLDs hardcoded.

Pop_OS is the one I will likely settle on once Cosmic is out of beta. I will say I don't' have a strong opinion on Snap vs Flatpak, but I didn't know that about the CEO's hiring practices. Definitely not interested in to

I knew someone was going to reply about it being a hardware thing. Ubuntu was listed on Framework's compatibility page as being fully supported. And the hardware was not particularly special or cutting edge. Also, the installer is STIL

Mine is me@[fullname].[tld] and I still kind of regret it because no one expects such a short set of characters before the @ sign. Even many websites don't. It's never been rejected but rather it breaks basic personal details mask

I ran into a bug about a year ago with the Ubuntu installer that caused it to crash on me when I was trying to install it on my Framework laptop. I had to try multiple times before the install finally went through.

Using a header file for kdb+ was great fun with its short macro and function names causing all sorts of weird breaks.

Let's say it was true. What does it even mean for users? macOS was on version 10 for something like 20 years. There were big changes in that time and compatibility for older hardware was dropped along the way. Version numbers like this

Your code emits a compiler warning about casting an integer to a pointer. Changing the cast to void* emits a slightly different warning about the size of integer being cast to a pointer being smaller than the pointer type. Casting to a long

Who? Those of us who were paying attention to how tech companies have operated for the past 25 years. They start out subsidized by investors and then once they have enough users and can no longer pay for them with the invested cash, they pu

I assure you that hearing "pin you dependencies" is not why people create a requirements file using pip freeze. It's simply because that has long been how people have said to generate a requirements file, because Python spent

Nah that's not just you. That is an unnatural way to sort things because that's not how numbers are ordered. I remember when Windows changed to sorting numbers by their value and, despite my programmer brain finding it strange in

I just like how everything aligns on my desk better (in terms of comfort) with a TKL board. And I was never a numpad user anyway. Maybe if I was typing numbers into spreadsheets all day I would have a different opinion on the necessity of t
