Kazumara,

That doesn’t apply as a solution here. After all Jia Tan did make pull requests, the pressure came later.

As a linux user, do you know about/use openwrt?

I have many nerdy friends who have been Linux users for ages. But most of them don’t know such a thing as Openwrt exists or have never bothered to give it a try. It’s a very fun piece of software to play with and can be extremely useful for routing traffic. Wondering why it isn’t more popular/widely used.

Kazumara,

Yeah of course! Once I went on a buying spree of used WNDR3700. They were so cheap and I won a few too many bids at once.

I gave one to a flatmate when we lived together as students and he took it with when he moved out. Put one in the office room of my current flatmate and still have one or two in reserve. I usually take one with me to LAN-parties.

Before that I once used DD-WRT on a WRT54GL. It also wasn’t bad from what I remember.

Kazumara,

If I ever started customizing my KDE Plasma, then that would be the last direction I’d ever go in.

Kazumara,

Because the FHS is a more sensible organization of files. Not every user needs to have their own executable for each program, that’s a mess.

Kazumara,

DOOM Eternal on Nightmare is so much fun. I filled all three saveslots with runs of it. And then the DLC came out, kicking it up another notch!

Kazumara,

When I first played DOOM I was a bit afraid of the monster sounds. I would usually ask my little sister if she could color her things in my room so I wouldn’t be alone while playing. I was way too bad to ever finish the game back then. I used to ask my father to make me “untötbar” (unkillable) because the word “unverwundbar” (invulnerable) was too difficult for me.

But I really like the reboot and DOOM Eternal especially.

Asking for a Linux (or non-Windows) laptop during a job interview?

I’m interviewing for a software dev job currently (it’s in the initial stages). If things work out, I’d absolutely prefer a work laptop with Linux installed (I personally use PopOS but any distro will do), a Mac will be second choice, but I absolutely cannot tolerate Windows, I abhor it, I hate it… (If all computers left...

Kazumara,

As a Linux user, you can pretend the os x is just Linux. That’s not true, but you can make it work with brew, some googling and your favourite ide / tech stack.

You can, but it’s still a miserable experience because the GUI is opinionated and its opinion is shit. I’ve been on that boat for three years now.

Kazumara,

helloSystem sounds miserable. Copying all the weird things that macOS does and hiding how things work in favour of “simplicity”

Kazumara,

Wow the SEO world is really sick

Kazumara,

“in the lab” is always a dangerous one. If the Tokyo U people only just demonstrated that hard carbon electrode, then who knows if it can be produced at an industrial scale and if that can be done economically. Even if it can, maybe there is still enough time until production picks up that one more technological refresh on the LiFePO4 production is justified in the mean time.

Besides, there is some inherent inertia, in research, in the markets, in politics. Even if a clear technological winner emerged suddenly some researchers would still have a year or two to finish their grant and publish their findings, some production lines would produce until their eventual superior replacements come online and the stocks would be sold off, and some subsidies would still be payed out until a new law could redirect the funds to only support the acceleration of the new best thing.

Kazumara,

Pied Piper middle out compression for your RAM

But seriously it’s so ridiculous especially since he said it in an interview with a machine learning guy. Exactly the type of guy who needs a lot of RAM for his own processes working on his own data using his own programs. Where the OS has no control over precision, access patterns or the data streaming architecture.

What is something (feature, modes, settings...) you would like to see become a standard in video games?

I’ve been thinking about making this thread for a few days. Sometimes, I play a game and it has some very basic features that are just not in every other game and I think to myself: Why is this not standard?! and I wanted to know what were yours....

Kazumara,

Lefty mode would be nice. I’m tired of rebinding movement keys in every game.

Kazumara,

As a kid I had my own PC early and my dad set it up left handed for me. Now I’ve played games left handed in general for 23 years, and shooters in particular for 15 years already, it’s too late to relearn :-)

Kazumara,

I don’t think that term really applies here. It’s not like the barrier to entry for a webservice hosting game modification data is all that high. It’s very different from the railway, waterworks and power grid markets.

Also there are at least the competitors Loverslab, Curseforge, ModMD and Modrinth from the top of my head.

Kazumara,

But that combination costs around 230 Swiss Franks versus 75 Swiss Franks for a Hyperx Cloud Alpha.

Kazumara,

An omnidirectional mic 20 cm downwards from the persons mouth is supposed to sound better than a little boom mic right in front of them? That’s not very convincing.

Kazumara,

Oh maybe they will release it for real now? I mean ending the exclusion.
