You don’t need the and right? Can’t it just be return a or b

This doesn’t work if a is falsy non-null actually

Last one is the derivation of the quadratic formula by completing the square

Where is this? Naan looks good!

Aren’t pants a sphere with two holes? (A double torus?)

Edit: a 3d pair of pants is a double torus, a 2d one is a sphere with three holes

I’ve been using Sidebery with some userchrome to hide the top tabs, and it’s a workable solution, but far from ideal.

I also wish keybindings were configurable. For example, with the “/” search, ctrl-g/G to go to next/prev match is really weird

For the last point, even worse on Mac

‘Call of Duty’ Doesn’t Just Depict Bad History—It’s Pro-War Propaganda (progressive.org)

I just started playing COD Black Ops Cold War because I got it through my PlayStation Plus subscription and wanted to try it out. I’ve previously played some others like Modern Warfare (1 and 2) and WWII. While it always felt a bit over the top and propaganda-ish, I really liked it for the blockbuster feeling and just turning...

Young and impressionable kids? I started playing the original MW2 when I was 11.

A$AP Rocky’s Testing era had some great ones with very impressive editing

Kids Turned Out Fine

A$AP Forever

Sundress

These are some of my favorite animated music videos:

Stuck in the Sound - Let’s Go

Dan Deacon “When I Was Done Dying”

And finally, the mixtape visualizer from Hi This is Flume is really damn cool.

I have a playlist with some more.

Potential seizure warning for some or all of the posted links.

Yeah exactly, Unity and Godot both use C# the same way React and Svelte both use JavaScript. Definitely some level of transferability, but honestly worth learning GDScript in my opinion because it’s a simple language and a pretty good fit for game scripting, and the one that gets first class attention from Godot.

murtaza64,

Without much experience building UIs aside from web, my limited experience with Godot leads me to believe that building an application this way would lead to a lot of decentralization of logic, which might be a bad thing for complex applications. For example, various UI elements might have a bunch of logic attached to them instead of having a centralized place where the logic lives. I guess this happens in web too, and maybe native UI frameworks/toolkits?

What open source programs do you recommend for Windows? (Windows exclusive or not)

I am and all my life have been a Linux user, I have nothing against Windows or MacOS, I just like Linux, and lately I have been experimenting with Windows in a virtual machine and I don’t really know much open source software there apart from the one that is cross-platform like Firefox or Joplin....

I’ve been enjoying wezterm as a terminal emulator replacement for windows terminal. It offers nerdy fine grained customizability and an emoji/nerd font character picker. For most purposes WT seems to be fine though.

murtaza64,

I can never get this to work properly… Do you have any resources?

murtaza64,

The difference between generating JSON and generating HTML is minimal for the server, doesn’t seem to me like server side rendered sites have significantly higher server compute costs. Also generally for SPAs, the server has to replicate whatever flow is happening on the client anyway to keep state in line (since the client can’t be trusted)

murtaza64,

Any Linux distro should work for the setup you want. I have radarr, sonarr, sabnzbd, deluge and jellyfin running on an Arch setup, but something more accessible like Ubuntu or Debian should work fine (although I’m not familiar with whether the Pi4 can power those heavier distros). If you’re comfortable with the command line, it doesn’t matter much which distro you pick since you can install and configure all those apps over ssh.

How easy is to get a prepaid SIM-card in the US for travel?

I’m visiting for two weeks and roaming prices are insane, I’m considering getting a prepaid SIM-card. Can I easily grab one in any shop, e.g. at the airport/Walmart? What are the prices? Unlimited data would be nice, but I can survive with a few GBs too, I’d probably need it mainly for navigation.

murtaza64,

My T-Mobile plan is $50 per month for unlimited, but it’s prepaid with no credit/ID check (or if there is an ID check, passport should work). Not the cheapest, but there are certainly options for you. There might be a data-only plan for less.

I was learning to use computer during the transition to the ribbon in Office 2007, but I actually preferred the ribbon to the old interface and these days I don’t mind it. Out of curiosity, what about the Ribbon annoys you guys?

As far as I know, Swahili is almost always written with the latin script.

Seems like the prediction about the web panned out…

murtaza64,

Last time I used warp it also wasn’t super customizable. I like messing with the prompt and stuff. I wonder if that’s changed. I did get a t-shirt from them for doing a user interview though :)

murtaza64,

This is a great deep dive! I am curious how difficult/slow it is to extend the modern xterm interface. For example, I saw that some terminals now support squiggly underlines for errors. What would it take to build a terminal (and associated interface) that supported things like text size? (Of course it would break a lot of applications that treat the screen as a two dimensional grid)

murtaza64,

For a mainstream press article about science, it’s pretty good. I do wish they had touched on the failure of recent experiment to verify some of the theoretical particles predicted by the standard model.

murtaza64,

Really into these dutch invasion memes eh?

murtaza64,

Careful… This hobby will make you spend hundreds of hours personalizing and perfecting your layout, changing keycaps and switches, trying new board shapes and so on. I’ve only been part of it for a month 💀

murtaza64,

Regardless of if this is intentionally designed to be misleading, a stack of sliders is the wrong way to show portions of a whole. I wonder what a better way would be for the web? A single slider with multiple knobs? Or like a single stacked bar with draggable boundaries between sections? I bet you could accomplish that with multiple sliders and some CSS to make them look like a single thing

I am not an AirVPN user, but you might want to look for whether AirVPN supports filtering traffic based on port numbers, and then you can set a fixed port in your torrent client which AirVPN will always route through the VPN (and allow other traffic such as DNS and HTTPS to go around it).

Some VPNs support app-based split tunneling (such as Mullvad), but it seems from a quick search that AirVPN doesn’t. But if it supports port based filters, you can accomplish the same thing.

murtaza64,

This is really exciting! It’s been interesting watching updates from this project; would love to try it out someday.

murtaza64,

I really love PowerPoint. I feel like the automatic snapping features and general polish allow me to make very pretty slides and diagrams with a high level of control, and it feels way better to use than e.g. web-based alternatives. Admittedly, I haven’t tried a foss alternative in years.

murtaza64,

I don’t write, but the Neorg project seems to be getting some attention from writers

murtaza64,

In the statement from the NGO they threaten legal action. Is there grounds/precedent for such a thing? Don’t you use open source code at your own risk?
