“Do no evil (alone)”

I guess a porch pirate isn’t gonna look in the bin, and if they did, it does look like recycling

So I guess that’s something?

I feel like this is a perfect encapsulation of how an experienced self-aware developer thinks. Experience really beats the hard stances out of you. I find myself saying “it depends” and “a bit of column A, bit of column B” often, like a cheap kids toy

0-200kph is much more fun on a bike an in a car. Nothing like holding on for dear life to get the adrenaline pumping

I’m tempted to publish an NPM package to do so as a joke, but I fear that it’d get used seriously

His take strangely acknowledges that defects are caused by programmers, yet doesn’t want to improve the tools we use to help us not make these mistakes. In summary, git gud.

Experience has taught me that I’m awfully good at finding and firing foot guns, and when I use a language that has fewer foot guns along with good linting, I write reliable code because I tend to focus on what I want the code to do, not how to get there.

Declarative functional programming suits me down to the ground. OOP has been friendly to me, mostly, but it also has been the hardest to understand when I come back to it. Experience has given me an almost irrational aversion to side effects, and my simple mind considers class members as side effects

I thought that as long as the kernel is new enough, the Radeon driver should already be in the kernel

Nice article! I’m a fan of the “don’t optimise early” mantra, which seems particularly relevant here regarding clone

However it should be noted that the remote development connection is via their servers, which makes it somewhat less useful

Fallout: New Vegas looks great on a small screen and runs really well on the Deck. I found it to look really dated on a larger screen, but not so much on the Deck. It’s also not very demanding, so easy on the battery

I’m thinking evaporative cooling (paired with refrigerative cooling)

Yeah, this is my colleagues waiting for me, poor bastards

Effortlessly cool

Amazing

Unfortunately the choice of desktop environment matters a lot when talking about features like this

I suggest trying KDE instead, as XFCE is far from the user friendly interface your used to with Windows. Some DEs are good for new users, XFCE isn’t one of them

Whoever suggested Xubuntu for a Windows user is a bit optimistic

I love that you’re thinking about how to secure sensitive parts of JS applications, however I wonder what threat this is guarding against. Can you give an example? Surely if an attacker can modify the source to call the sensitive functions, then they could modify the allow list

Deal

Annoyingly this feature isn’t available in Edge on Linux

I too adored Braid. I think it was the first puzzle platformer that I truly enjoyed

Oh wow, this is amazing info. Thanks!

I recently got my copy of AC: Origins refunded because of the Uplay launcher not working and couldn’t find a solution at the time. I’ll definitely be trying this for Syndicate.

Choking myself has some advantages like being cheaper, sure. But it needs more VVVRRRRRRR

I just followed that exact tutorial and got Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate working. Went pretty much perfectly. The only hitch I had was I missed the bit about needing quotes when changing the paths.

I didn’t have any trouble with download speeds, mine was downloading at our full 100Mb/s

If by purpose built race track you mean the local skate park, then yes

Yeah the air pollution was one thing that made me want to sell mine. The eco argument really didn’t hold up

I really liked this game until one of the boss fights was too difficult and I couldn’t proceed. I thought I had a pretty good handle on the combat too. Guess it’s not for filthy casuals like me

I recommend LunarVim for VS Code users too

I thought it was TIG filler wire, which is copper plated

Thanks, now I want to order McDonald’s yellow coloured filament

Ah ok, the name implies it’s a security guard
