Yup. They talked during the leadup to Space Age that all those big new systems are setup specifically to be generic, for the sake of future modding.

I dunno if I’d call it Linux friendly. It runs under Proton moderately well, but it feels like it’s still not quite as good as it was on Windows. And there’s no official support.

Factorio.

Goddamnit. Rsync, of all things.

I’d try it. Is it really any more “processed” than ketchup already is?

We talking about the one that says the President can’t be prosecuted for official acts?

The thing most people miss about that decision is that it’s not a power grant to the Presidency. It’s a power grab by the Supreme Court. They conveniently don’t define what counts as an “official act” that the President can’t be prosecuted for, so that whenever it comes up again, we just end up right back at the Supreme Court for them to decide what’s “official” and what isn’t. And we know their game plan on that kinda thing, from everything else in the past decade, they’ll pull a bunch of old nonsense out of their ass to rule whichever way they please, and then say at the and “this decision is a unique outcome of unique circumstances” or whatever, so they’re free to rule completely differently next time.

The charitable interpretation of the ruling is “the way to get a President to stop doing bad shit is for Congress to impeach them” so in theory, that’s still a check on Presidental power, but we all know how much Congress is loathe to use any amount of power to do anything, what little they haven’t abdicated already.

KeePass is just an app that opens files, so yeah, you can access it on as many devices that you want yo setup file syncing with. Syncthing seems to be a popular choice.

You can setup vaults to be accessible with multiple passwords, if that fits your criteria. Me, I already share the vault with my wife, so that mostly covers the need for emergency access by someone else. If I ever wanted more, I’d probably just put some basic info into my will about how to access the file.

Me personally, I thought the combat was pretty ass. Boss combat, in particular. Like they played Dark Souls and their takeaway was “Okay, so to make good combat, you need to make it SUPER difficult, and then give them a dodge roll.” REALLY put a damper on the experience as a whole, which is a shame, because every other aspect of that game is FANTASTIC.

If you haven’t played it, do yourself a favor and just be ready to turn on assist mode or no-death mode for the bosses.

Slack did not replace email by becoming a slightly better inbox.

In what universe has Slack replaced e-mail?

Why the hell is anyone using anything other than KeePass?

JS is rightly criticized as a language, for lending itself to… less than ideal practices. Which is largely a result of it NOT being designed as a programming language. It was designed as a dead-simple scripting language for getting the most minimal of bells-and-whistles kinda things in the browser. So, it’s worth noting that you might have to un-learn some bad habits someday, as you progress to other languages, or even just higher-level stuff in JS.

However, it’s still an excellent choice as a starter language, on account of how dead-simple it was designed to be. And how dead-simple it is to start DOING things with it. And how is possibly the most-used language there is, ubiquitous in web development. And how MASSIVE the community around it is, and how many learning resources there are.

So yeah, go for it. GL;HF.

Yup.

Krafton lost. They’ve been ordered to restore at least one of the three leads of the project to his prior position, and give him full control over the project. The latest marketing material for the game has had Krafton labeling removed.

At this point, the only thing you’re doing for Krafton by buying Subnautica 2 is guaranteeing they have to pay out the $250 million bonus that they were trying to avoid in the first place.

Yup, I’ve taken to doing this exact same thing in TS/JS. That is, defining functions to take an options object instead of multiple parameters.

It’d be much nicer if TS/JS could support named parameter binding, like many other lanaguages, cause that’s what I do as a nearly universal rule, in every language that supports it.

No, having an IDE inject paramter names in the editor is not a solution. Not only does it always look like shit, because none of them have any concept of formatting for readability, it also means the code then becomes unreadable outside of an IDE (and user configuration) with that feature.

To be clear, he’s not saying “just code better”, as the title implies. It’s a really poor choice of title.

you are going to mess up somewhere and get leaks, stray pointers, etc. This is true independently of how conscientious you are with your allocations:

He goes on to say, effectively, “Don’t use new/delete/malloc/free if you can help it. Use smarter mechanisms.”

Works largely the same as reddit, just smaller and more distributed.

The go-to analogy is e-mail. You pick a particular e-mail provider, say gmail.com or yahoo.com, and create your account there, but that doesn’t stop you from sending messages to anyone with any other provider, or them sending messages to you. In the fediverse/lemmyverse/whatever, same thing, you create an account on whatever server/instance you feel like, and use that to see posts and messages from any other server/instance in the network.

Occasionally, you might hear the term “federation” which is the process of different servers/instances syncing their content with each other. It’s not foolproof, and sometimes doesn’t work properly. But generally, you won’t have to care about the nuts and bolts of the protocol.

Definitely do some reading/research on proper iron and tip care. You can burn through tips really quickly if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Shit, does that mean LLMs are real programmers, bow?

I’ll throw mine in too, why not?

Nebula’s nice. I don’t see it ever replacing YouTube, unless they decide to actually startbadding community-oriented features, but it’s still nice to put as much of my traffic as I can towards other platforms.

This would be more mockable if it didn’t often WORK.
