That explains a lot. I played Grim Dawn and thought that it took a lot of inspiration from Titan Quest, especially the levelling system. Never put 2 and 2 together though.

It really depends on the role you are looking for. If working with data and doing analysis, you need some knowledge in stats and probability. If you are working on simulations, you will need basic calculus and algebra. If you are looking at game development, you will need basic trigonometry and vector arithmetic. The one thing you don’t need is mental arithmetic because you have a computer.

That being said, you can get by without these skills, it just becomes harder to see what you need to do, even if you would know how to implement it. This is alleviated if you are working in a team however.

I mean they should be using rfc3339 as it is an open standard unlike the iso.

Depends how much time you spend in a text editor. If it is just for a few config edits and stuff, honestly there is little reason to learn. The real benefit is if you spend a lot of time editing text due to the time saved using more powerful commands. There is the additional benefit that vi/vim is installed on practically any Linux box, so you will almost always have a familiar editor to hand in an unfamiliar environment.

Go through the tutorial. It is quite good and teaches things incrementally with real world examples. Just run vimtutor to start.

If you don’t want to help the slavers, here is a tip: you can destroy ladders.

Those are two completely different things. It is like saying “why hammers not apples?” There is no logical answer, they are just two completely different things.

Olive is hardware accelerated and if pretty stable nowadays.

There are 3 states: just about to kill, killing, and just killed.

Hi David Mitchell!

Scepticism is the British spelling

Oh cool, Lemmy automatically obfuscates your password. All I see is *************!

If you haven’t heard of it, try giving Godot a go.

I hate it so much I can’t even put it into words.

I think children go in dictionaries so you can look them to via name (key).

You are supposed to use the metadata editing if it is not already correct then it well automatically sort them for you. You can edit multiple tracks at once to set the album in one go for example.

Strawberry has all those things.

You can also use pgp via openkeychain which is very elegant

Thanks for the suggestions. Starting with Blackshirts and reds now.

Thanks, that is a lot to sink my teeth into!
