  • Is the research only new because we didn’t test this before? The number one advice to learn a language fast is to be totally submerged into the language and its culture. Seems like that would extend to just about any skill.

  • I gave it a try on my bare Debian 12 (kernel 6.1) install last week and a 3090.

    KDE Plasma, on Wayland, worked out of the box but with poor performance. After following the official guide to installing the proprietary drivers, the Wayland session no longer works. After entering my password in SDDM I get a blank screen with a solid text cursor in the upper corner until I forcefully power cycle the machine.

    I’ll stick to x11 for now, which works flawlessly with great performance in games (200fps in Baldur’s Gate 3, max settings 1440p @ 240hz).

  • Jetbrains Rider is fantastic and .net 6+ is native to Linux now. You can even get by with VSCode (I prefer VSCodium) with their improved C# tools.

    Depending on what you do, there’s also cross platform UI libraries like Avalonia-UI that can fully replace WPF.

  • A signal is a signal. For system hardware developers it might have been a quick and dirty way to debug the hardware. It could also be an abandoned feature for low level developers and cartridge development teams. We may never know the real answer but it’s not an unreasonable thing to use the thing designed to output waves as a quick hookup point for logic analyzers / oscilloscopes.

  • Having not watched this yet, I’m going to guess that this failure state basically results in the processor simply incrementing its address pointer indefinitely which will inevitably just loop across the whole contents of the rom, along with current state ram data? Outputting audio might be a bug in this case, a hardware bug that is. Unless it was an esoteric way for the system designers to debug using oscilloscopes? Maybe it was meant to just dump ram contents but ended up hitting all rom addresses? Either way, I’m excited to watch this when I get some more time and just wanted to speculate based on the short description of the video I read.

  • And basically the entirety of dotnet 6 forward is spans. It’s all spans. All the way down.

  • Now you know about the command and can alias it to whatever floats your boat!

    ‘open .’
    ‘exhume /my/file’
    ‘liberate my.site’

  • Yeah that’s ammo (specifically 2 rounds) in the endless war to hit insert family member with a covert flick of the finger from across the room!

  • Remind us, which part of The Day Before was decent again?

  • Are we missing dankpods?

  • Convenience, automation, remote control.

  • I think that’s nitpicking a little too much.

    There’s a hundred features available on every device at any one time. It’s gotta go somewhere. UX and UI design is very difficult, doubly so when discoverability has to be balanced with small form factor devices.

    Safari on macOS doesn’t have address bar page search as you suspected but it’s a different device and thus has a different design / experience. More specifically a physical keyboard with shortcuts that are expected to be used but also a menu bar where features can be tucked away logically (e.g. edit find, etc.) The share (action) button on mobile safari sure seems like a logical place to put it, given the space constraints and hey, you found it! And now you know the search bar also searches the page.

    Beyond that, pull down to search has been in iOS for years now and is included in multiple locations, including the Home Screen itself and the settings app.

    I won’t sit here and pretend everything is 100% consistent and that the design language is adhered to and perfect. It’s not and it’s probably going to get worse until a new set of rules is developed or is refreshed again.

    Hardly anyone is going to find every feature and figure out how it works without help and the more that our devices advance in power and capability, the more that has to be tucked away and designed for. If a useful feature has 2 or 3 ways to activate it and you find one them, its mission success. Just because the other ways would be more convenient for you to actually use doesn’t mean it’s a terribly design. It doesn’t mean anything at all in fact. It just happens because there’s millions of users who use these devices around the world and we’re all different and you just happened to not discover all the ways possible to perform one specific action with multiple routes to access it. But you did discover how to use it. And you were taught a different way by someone else. What’s the problem again?

  • You can just type in the address bar to search, you don’t have to share. It’s always been that way since page search was introduced. It shows up under its own suggestion category as “Find on page (results number)”

  • Oh so that’s why they’re asking me to change my password just to check my bill. Because the language on the page was “we regularly perform security audits to help protect you, so please change your password now” and doesn’t mention the breach at all.

  • Uh, you know the steam deck is just a computer right? You can plug in a mouse, keyboard, monitor, and any other peripheral you want.

  • If y’all have PS3, Lord of the Rings: War in the North. Specifically a 3 player co-op game. Like actually 3 player, not 4 player where you don’t need a 4th. I enjoyed it and have good memories playing with friends, it’s really fun and silly and the servers are still up.

  • I haven’t read a whole book in years, but I was just at a second hand shop today and picked up the first few books in Terry Brooks’ Shannara series. I intend to finally read the series my mom always wanted me to try.

  • That’s the real meat of this. The future of models will be these smaller, focused “patches” that have some kind of traceable lineage. At least when it comes to marketing and selling these.

  • 13 years, cut and run when 3rd party app support was killed.
