pelya,

Shoes on the left will be 3x more expensive and will give your legs blisters.

pelya,

Not anymore. They are now using poor rubber for soles that will fall off in 4-5 years.

pelya,

Gimme new Play Store links kthxbye.

Is there a remindme bot on Lemmy?

!remindme: 2 days.

pelya,

Thanks.

Still no Play Store links in sight.

I’m not sure who exactly maintains f-droid builds.

pelya,

I had Nokia 2720 and I had ported DOOM to it.

It was meh. No OS updates in forever, and T9 sucks.

pelya,

YYYY-MM-DD is the only acceptable date format, as commanded by ISO 8601.

Swedish company Northvolt develops new state-of-the-art sodium-ion battery produced with locally sourced materials, entirely independent of traditional battery value chains (northvolt.com)

In a statement, Northvolt says its validated cell is more safe, cost-effective, and sustainable than conventional nickel, manganese and cobalt (NMC) or iron phosphate (LFP) chemistries and is produced with minerals such as iron and sodium that are abundant on global markets....

pelya,

It’s a natrium-iron cyanide salt. Probably poisonous, not any harder to produce than any other industrial chemical, as long as you automate the process.

pelya,

Probably in 10 years, because it’s a car battery, and it takes time to pass all regulations. Notable absense of comparing it to Lithium battery, so definitely not targeted at smartphones. It will get installed into your nearest wind farm first.

pelya,

Exactly why the Americans would send another HIMARS when Ukraine already has 38 HIMARS plus 23 similar M270 tracked launchers—and hasn’t lost any of them—is hard to say for sure.

38 HIMARS are like 5 artillery batteries, except you cannot hit them back. Russia loses that much artillery each 3 days and keeps fighting.

pelya,

Tell this to my -Wall -Werror

pelya,

What would the goop do? Looks like the insulation.

pelya,

Sure, you could get a piece of land in Siberian tundra at any time, I would not call that housing.

Moving to a city was way more complicated than in capitalist US. You could not simply buy an apartment. You had to be allocated an apartment by the government. And you needed connections for that. Or bribes. Ideally both. If you think your local rabid Republicans do not care for little wage slave men, you never experienced USSR, it was like that but 100x worse.

pelya,

Yup. And networking would inevitably involve vodka. All major decisions would eventually involve vodka in USSR.

pelya,

Subversion is as good as it can get with centralized version control system.

CVS is only one step up above FTP file server for all your code.

pelya,

If we’re talking open-source, I’m raising you OpenTyrian in response.

pelya,

Great list, I’ve played half of these games. I guess it’s time to give Super Meat Boy a try, I think I’ll give up after the third level.

pelya,

I owned Poco X3 Pro, it was the cheapest phone with SD 860. I’ve bought it specifically to play XCOM 2. Two years with no issues, I guess I was lucky.

pelya,

Ugh, no good way to get an up to date app unless you want to compile it yourself

Here’s a really outdated build, ot works fine on Android 12 despite printing a whole lot of warnings.

sourceforge.net/projects/…/OpenTyrian/

pelya,

Play Store link play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlec…

pelya,

Hey, I’ve played most of these games, except for Pocket Rogues and 9th Dawn.

Games from 10tons studio are almost all good.

pelya,

I’d love r/AndroidGaming from seven years ago, when we still had hopeful devs publishing proper Android games, and each second post wasn’t about Play Store search and ranking sucking ass.

Well, and r/DragonsFuckingCars of course, I can’t really go without a proper community for sharing cultured art of mythical giant serpentine creatures making passionate love to self-propelled wheeled vehicles.

pelya,

I mean, here’s a link (NSFW because it links to the cursed reddit).

Beware, top ten posts are meta-memes, the art starts from the second page.

And here’s the gif that started it all

pelya,

The problem here is we have no rotation of the personnel. We aren’t fighting to the last man yet, far from it.

Ukraine has something like 36 million people who did not leave the country. Right now we have estimated 1 million active military, and they are all the same people who were mobilized in March 2022.

Yes, enlisting another 1 million guys means they need to be equipped and trained for at least one month, and in practice it will be two-three months, and it’s seriously expensive, but still, the government had 1.5 years to plan for that.

pelya,

Keep a list of tasks. I’m using Google Keep app for that, but a paper notepad and a pen will work as well.

It’s not something groundbreaking, it will only help to keep your work organized, and you need to make a habit to look at your task list.

Came to your desk? Look at your task list, start working on rhe first item.

Phone call? Write it down into your task list and forget about whatever they wanted from you. Pick up the first task on your list, keep working on it.

Some coworker came to your desk and wants something done? Write it down to your task list as the second item from the top, show it to them that you will work on their request immediately after you finish your current task. Your direct manager gets the top spot in your list, everyone else will have to wait until you finish your current task, because working on two things in parallel will take you four times longer (if you finish it at all).

Need to replace the lightbulb in the room? After you finished that, you got the bright idea to buy brighter lightbulbs for every room. Stop. Write it down into your task list, somewhere near the end. Pick up the task on top of your list, and keep working on it.

That technique won’t help with procrastination sadly.

pelya,

I’ve made a webpage that would send a notification to my phone through the web browser when someone joins my Quake 3 server, and it took one day. The most complicated piece was reading the amount of players on the server, the notificatuon part I just copypasted from the net.

No app. Just a webpage. The notification was reliable, looked as native as it gets, and would even wake up my phone from sleep.

pelya,

But Israel supports Ukraine, hmmmm.

pelya,

They did not invent roofs yet

pelya, (edited )

OpenBSD is a very important software distribution, focused on security, serving as a basis for many commercial (non-free closed-source) applications and embedded devices, it also induces advanced neuroplasticity in it’s users.

pelya,

Yeah, but it sounds cooler than a ‘single-use drone’ or a ‘guided self-propelled cruise grenade’

pelya,

Vasalgel sure looks like the ideal contraceptive - no side effects, long lasting, cheap, the surgery is as easy as taking a blood sample, and better that the hormonal pill in every way.

It’s only problem is that it’s still in the trials for 13 years and counting.

Dudes who refuse the idea of male contraceptive because it will harm their idea of masculinity are those you don’t want to have children with anyway.

Why should I primary Linux for Home Desktop and which one do you recommend?

I’ve always used Windows and am super comfortable with it. I have set up a dual boot with fedora but don’t use it because I have never identified a need to use it. I see a lot of windows hate, so what does Linux have that I need? What can motivate me to migrate? What is a good Linux to have for a desktop + steam?

pelya,

If you are using your PC to play games, stick to Windows.

Linux is better if you want to run servers or do software development.

If you’re a casual user who only uses office software and spreadsheets and watches pirated anime, you can use either but you should use Linux because it’s cheaper.

pelya,

Testing the interface is more like validating the architecture of your module.

Say, you have your interface IShape, which represents a geometric shape.

Now you decide to add some shape editing capabilities to your qpplication.

Can you rotate your IShape? Can you flip it? So your IShape interface needs methods rotate(double angle) and flip(enum direction). So you add a test that checks that your module exports methods rotate(double angle) and flip(enum direction).

Does your application requires rotating shapes by a fractional angle? Maybe rotating by 90⁰ is enough? So you replace rotate(double angle) with rotate90degrees(bool clockwise) in your test and you can simplify your implementation.

pelya,

pelya,

I’ve ported games to web using WASM. You still need to interact with HTML DOM using JS, no way around it.

You use WASM when you either need raw CPU speed, or you have some C++ code that you don’t want to rewrite in JS.

If you just want to make a website, pure JS is better, unless you’re that kind of dev who prefers to render their own text strings pixel by pixel.

pelya,

You can install Windows 95 or Ubuntu on your phone using an emulator app. Yet Android cannot emulate an older Android.

No more code headers?

I recently hired into a data analytics team for a hospital, and we don’t have a style guide. Lots of frustration from folks working with legacy code…I thought putting together a style guide would help folks working with code they didn’t write, starting with requiring a header for SQL scripts first as low hanging fruit....

pelya,

Commenting your code is an industry standard. Some kind of separate comment metadata won’t generally work, unless you code exclusively in spreadsheets, where you can add a note to each cell.

Given that it’s a hospital, I guess your management will listen to whomever performs bureaucracy better, not whomever codes better.

pelya,

RIF would save the message even if I reboot my phone

pelya,

Cats can take any shape, as long as it has no holes and the volume remains constant

pelya,

ChromeOS already owns the education segment. Expect most of future small time enterpreneurs to use some kind of web-based distro.

pelya,

The development had stopped since 2020, you’ll have to make do with inferior closed-source commercial clone called XCOM 2.

pelya,

The arrangement of Start menu hardly matters. Virtual desktops are indispensable though. And I can restart crashed Plasma in 35 seconds.

pelya,

I’ve lived with a custom build of AnySoftKeyboard for several years, where I’ve made my own Ukrainian keyboard, with the same amount of buttons as English keyboard and extra letters invoked with a long-press, so that I got the same size keys in every language I use. I’ve abandoned it for Gboard, because of a built-in password manager. Default Cyrillic keyboard has extra letters invoked with a long-press for a bunch of Slavic languages, it’s not the same but I would not complain.
