  • I also feel like agile methodology, which is becoming more common, works against documentation with the fail fast fail often philosophy. If your feedback loop with your stakeholder is rapid, then changes to the design plan are often and rapid as well, which requires more documentation change overhead, which makes documentation even less appealing.

    In fact SAFe Agile emphasizes working software over comprehensive documentation.

  • Im the exact opposite. At home there are way too many distractions and temptations than in an office environment.

  • That's very creative and fun

  • Just a distinction: It's most-likely a laptop issued by the company, not a personal computer.

  • Yeah I am finding Lemmy to be a haven of fringe political idealists, which is kinda scary.

  • Sounds like dwarf fortress to me

  • ? Imagine? 16 exabytes for NTFS according to multiple sources, like Wikipedia and Microsoft documents, and 16 terabytes for ext4.

    If you want to refute that then it's most likely you have just had some unlucky experience, and at best it's anecdotal.

    Considering your rather disingenuous second sentence, I can see that you are not here to engage in conversation, but to troll. You're exactly what nobody needs buddy. Cya.

  • Good thought. I see some potential issues though.

    I'm not well versed in how steam handles things like saves, configs, etc. I would think if those are saved in the steam apps folder, then they are indeed written on the location the game is saves. RO would also prevent updates as well.

    Overall I think the writing to disk is much less of a concern than say having a whole OS on there.

    Does RPi's Raspbian support any boot moad like "toram?". I have no idea what size those OSes are for a pi, but I wonder if things like that would help too. I know some OSes are designed to be less write-intensive to prevent some of this as well.

  • Nice find!! Yeah I haven't had any issues with them for gaming. I only hit the order button when I saw a reviewer say it worked just fine on the steam deck.

  • I feel this, however, as you alluded to, there is no product they I'm aware of that attaches nicely to the steam deck, that has a 2280 slot, and has PD passthrough, and a stand. If you find one I'd love to know about it.

    The SD cards are a nice touch for us anyway because my girlfriend and I can swap games without having to sacrifice the whole SSD.

    Plus these were roughly 54 dollars each. Not horrible considering the cheapest 4tb nvme is 150. So I'm not sad about it.

  • Yes, NTFS lacks features that surely one of the many Linux filesystems have. But it also has features others do not. There is no one-siize-fits-all filesystem.

    • Ext4 is generally faster than NTFS, but cannot handle as large of files
    • ZFS has a multitude of features that NTFS does not, like zraid, dedup, etc., but usually at the cost of RAM.
    • BTRFS is included in the Linux kernel and also has many features, like being able to conveniently switch hard drive raid-like configurations on the fly with rebalance, but doesn't support fs-level encryption
    • NTFS lacks in many features the others do not, and is a "non-standard" filesystem. However, it's one of the few with better cross-platform support, more advanced access control, pre-emptive journaling, reparse points, etc.

    It's quite obvious that my calling out tribalism has felt to you an attack.

    We get enough of this "us vs them" mentality in literally every topic and medium. I'd just like a little more nuance and genuine discourse. So I apologize if I've offended you.

  • The only reason why there's NTFS hate in the Linux community is because it's associated with windows.

    This tribalism bullshit is tiring.

  • Hot take, I was disappointed. Even for a Nolan film it felt all over the place. There were some cool scenes, and I don't think it was horrible, or even bad, but some outlets touting that this is "one of the best movies of all time" are still living through the hype.

  • I do the same but don't go by percentages. I have 2 thresholds:

    • <$10 if it's a game I know I'll like
    • <$5 if it's a game I'm somewhat interested in
  • Agreed. Having in-laws in Romania I can tell you the sentiment about the Soviet union is generally not great.
