My experience may be dated, but I’ve always had issues with controllers on Windows and Linux. Less so with Linux these days because my controllers are dated and the drivers are in the mainline kernel.

The biggest issue was solved with steam and it’s controller interface / community layouts.

variouslegumes,

Nintendo controllers 😬

One of the goals of neovim was to introduce tools to build a GUI around vim. Imo the terminal is by far the best option, but there are some fun options. Neovide is an interesting one. Mostly because it doesn’t do too much – just eye candy.

variouslegumes,

A lot of posts in here complaining about shitty commercial radio. Do you all not have local radio stations? I love my local stations.

This is the second article I’ve read about someone getting trapped in a Tesla. It’s a shame that a lot of people will opt to blame the user when this is obviously a stupid design decision by Tesla.

It weighs like 30 something pounds! I made a shitty dinghy protector thing with some cheap canvas. Very proud of it. 😁

Lol everyone should go read the couple of posts on the community / magazine with the same name. Hilarious seeing people so triggered by people pointing out that the name is a bit problematic.

What video game have you played the most, that you think is garbage and no one else should ever play?

I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it’s a bad game. Don’t do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you’ll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent’s cool thing....

Kingdom come deliverance. It was a rollercoaster. One of the first games I played after building a new computer. I progressed far enough and finally found that the combat was jank and the story was pretty garbage. Still have fond memories of the game though. Almost like the first time playing Oblivion 🙂.

variouslegumes,

GTA for the Gameboy on the other hand, kinda rad.

variouslegumes,

I have a fond memories of the game for sure! The world was really cool to explore and I did keep coming back to it. I think I got to the point where the combat became really easy – I recall finding a way to almost cheese it.

I always just use zsh with oh my zsh. Best of both worlds.

One thing that I still don’t know how to do is go to the next result in the search with Ctrl+r. Makes it less useful lol

Forbidden desert! Great co-op game. We used to call it Die in The Desert because my group was so bad at it.

variouslegumes,

Get a can of black beans and some rice. Make the rice, put the beans on top. Black beans and rice.

[Discussion] What's your thoughts on AI generated search engines compared to other ways to find information?

Like most of you, I used reddit as solely my only source for finding information. Looking to hear your guys' thoughts on this topic, and hopefully explain and share some knowledge in a more sophisticated manner than I can describe. (also, I hope this is an appropriate place to post?)...

variouslegumes,

I’ve been trying out an IaC services’ (Pulumi) chatbot to answer questions about how to spin up architecture. It’s really bad. Totally makes up properties that don’t exist and at times spins up code that doesn’t even make sense syntactically. Not to mention that the code it generates has the potential to cost not insignificant amounts of money.

Definitely not a replacement for stack overflow, github, forums, or random blog posts. Not for a service that spins up critical infrastructure. Like, you have to know to some degree how that stuff works. And if you know how that stuff works, what’s the point of the service? Saving a few minutes typing stuff out and looking at documentation?

variouslegumes,

Prioritizing developer experience is not the reason we use front-end frameworks. People expect the web to work like a desktop app (no page reloads). The initial request might take a little bit longer, but in the end a well written front-end app will feel faster.

The problem is that people don’t worry about bundle size and cram every library off of npm into their website.

Totally, pretty much all browsers include a way to simulate network conditions. Chrome also includes a way to simulate CPU slowdown.

variouslegumes,

Not 100% sure how this works, but dam and river usually means environmental consequences.

variouslegumes,

Dams are usually bad too.

variouslegumes,

No boiling, but I bought a filter after listening to a story about PFAS.

variouslegumes,

On Android (maybe iOS)? You can hold down on the space key and drag left and right to move the text cursor. Very useful.

variouslegumes,

Is this the same Chicago that sold all their parking meters to Wall Street making infrastructure changes really difficult because it would cut into parking meter profits?

Story at the end of this great 99pi

variouslegumes,

I was thinking that might be a thing. Actually kind of poetic. Love it.

variouslegumes,

This is basically the unix philosophy. Build a bunch of separate apps that can be hooked together (via pipes).
