Saag/palak paneer is again, a sauce based dish but a lot more milder. Chana masala is also low on spice. Tandoori chicken is not sauce-based, but personally I don’t get too excited about it. Biryani is again no sauce. The last order I had did have a lot of spice, but historically these have been milder than other Indian dishes for me. Certain types of dosas might be up your alley too. This is coming from someone not well versed in Indian food, so I am sure there are more.

open-world action game

It’s amazing that devs are still crapping out games in this genre.

This would be cool if this ended up being “Alien Isolation but with dinosaurs,” but I am not quite sure that’s the direction they are taking based on the trailer alone.

Can you give an example? I know that some people have a hard time with the strong smells, but I honestly have never heard it made fun of in any demeaning way. Maybe at worst a character has a bad time on a toilet due to the Indian food being so spicy, but I can’t think of how it would be made fun of. Seems well loved here in the States in my experience.

Lemmy client that is a fork of Infinity for reddit.

Lol, I would be willing to believe most people can come up with MLK. Not to mention that Obama technically is a correct answer.

I can’t speak for the whole suite, but Excel sucks in the browser. The browser version do not have all the same features as desktop. I only use Office if I’m forced to and use LibreOffice or Latex otherwise

NVIDIA is basically the only GPGPU game

NVIDIA GPUs are definitely the go-to these days, but the world’s most powerful supercomputer is using AMD GPUs. I wouldn’t be surprised if AMD picks up speed (though they probably won’t beat or meet NVIDIA). NVIDIA got started way sooner, so the fact AMD is behind is only natural.

Looking for application to do very simple 2D animation

I spend a lot of time creating system diagrams for presentations. I always use Inkscape to draw these diagrams. However I ran into a scenario where I wanted to animate them. The animations I’m looking for are dead simple. I want to be able to fade in, fade out, and slide basic shapes. The way I worked around it this time was...

TBH, I think I dislike it only slightly less than reddit. Don’t get me wrong, I like the idea of the fediverse and what not. However, I see a lot of posts around here saying that lemmy is so much better than reddit, but I don’t necessarily agree. Culturally I see a lot of the same behavior between the two. The main difference is there are a lot less “Facebook-like” posts and way more tech nerd-centric opinions. I would even argue that there is a lack of cultural balance. Like most of the people here are extremists in one way or the other (this includes me), and there are less “normal” people. I think this is probably what some of the users here actually want because they thirst for the “good ol’ days” of forums before some of nerd culture leaked into the mainstream, but I’m not sure it’s my cup of tea. Furthermore something that is sort of both a feature and a downside is that there is way less content here for obvious reasons. It’s nice not to have an endless feed, but again, due to cultural imbalance, there isn’t much variety. I love using linux, but I don’t know if I care to have my feed engulfed by it. I’m not sure if the time I spend in Lemmy is really a net positive, just like how reddit felt. I’d say the most positive aspect of reddit was I could subscribe to a city specific subreddit and actually get news and info that is useful to my day to day life, whereas the info here is just useful for keeping me in my house or absorbed in work.

Please do not tell me to suck it up and contribute my own content. The point of this comment is not to get the community to “fix” lemmy for me but simply to relay an observation.

Honestly I like the method where you put it in a dry, preheated pan on the stove, add a bit of water and lid. Results in a crispy crust and melty cheese if executed correctly. The only downside is it is less idiot proof than using an oven.

Build your own locally hosted cloud!

This is the hard part to sell people. I feel like for self-hosting to become popular, there would need to be a “plug ‘n’ play” device that essentially has everything you need to set up a small server on your home network. If you could set up a home server as easily as you can set up a Google Home device, that would be amazing.

Does it execute both, or does it execute the branch that is more likely to be valid? Branch prediction seems like it’d be way more performant than executing both branches until the result of the branch condition is available. If you think about it, what you’re proposing will cause the CPU to always execute instructions that are not meant to be executed when confronted with a branch whereas branch prediction will only execute these “useless” instructions in the unlikely scenario where the prediction is incorrect.

I always prescribe learning Python over basically any other language (unless you’re gonna start doing some real low-level computing). It’s a much more relevant and popular language. C# isn’t irrelevant, you’ll just see Python used way more often. Python will also compliment JS much more.

KRAW,
@KRAW@linux.community avatar

Also if you’re looking to make a job out of it, Python will lead you to job opportunities that are imo much more satisfying than JS.

Elon Musk has launched a new AI company called xAI with the goal of understanding the true nature of the universe. The team at xAI includes AI researchers who have worked at companies like OpenAI, Google, Microsoft and DeepMind. Little is known about xAI currently except that Musk seeks funding from SpaceX and Tesla to start it....

As others have said, use ntfs and just install ntfs-3g

which i use mostly for storing games

If you are trying to put your Steam games and share them between Windows and Linux, be prepared for a headache. I did this for a short period of time, and it worked OK, but tbh it really doesn’t seem worth it. You have to jump through some hoops to get Linux Steam to play nicely with NTFS, and your Linux Steam will fight your Windows Steam every time you switch between using one or the other. Putting my Proton/Linux games on my ext4 partition, a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. This might work better if you share the drive but have separate steam library folders for each OS, but at that point you might as well just have two separate partitions.

Can you please ELI5 tmux?

I am fairly familiar with Linux, I’ve been using different distros for some years now and have done some config editing here and there. I am also a web developer and use the terminal quite a lot and so I always stumble on people’s recommendation to use tmux and how good it is, but I never really understood what it does and,...

I don’t get what you’re referencing… does systemd break this functionality of tmux or something?

It’s actually metal. I figured the metal shouldn’t sap much energy from the water since it doesn’t have much thermal mass

That really depends on your definition of “sane defaults.” Even a lot of the computer science professionals I work with wouldn’t consider Arch Linux defaults as sane. I picture sane defaults to include a lot more basic functionality that Arch doesn’t have out of box (automatic suspend, desktop environment, lock screen, etc.).

I use Arch for the exact same reason you do though. Once you get past the tedious stuff like setting up your networking stack, setting up idle suspend, etc. it’s nice to choose whatever WM/DE you want and customize it how you want.

Can you tell me more about Koji Alchemy? I do a lot of Japanese cooking, and I enjoy fermentation, pickling, sourdough, etc. This book sounds like it’s be up my alley.

I also heard that store bought koji is generally subpar in quality. What does this book have to say about that?

What is your pourover ratio?

I am currently using 40g coffee to 500g water which is 12.5g coffee to 1g water but I have seen things like this olympiacoffee.com/…/how-to-brew-like-olympia-coff…. which suggest using a little more. Does it even matter to adjust the ratio precisely if I don’t have a precision grinder and am using a Krups blade grinder? I...

1:12.5 seems really high, imo. I’ve always been told 1:16-1:18 and get good results. I agree with the other comment in that a new grinder is what you should be considering
