Yeah I have to re-fix this after every update, drives me mad

Also chromosome tests aren’t a foolproof indication of sex anyway. People can have one set or another while still having the properties associated with the other sex, so it doesn’t really work as a definitive measure. The question is reasonable until you examine it and it’s motives.

The question subtly suggests that if she had a Y chromosome then she has some biological advantage and therefore doesn’t deserve the medal she earned. Does she actually have an advantage from the Y chromosome? Are we going to ensure through DNA testing that all competitors are going to be exactly equal by genetics? If so, we’re going to have 8 clones of Usain Bolt competing for the 100m sprint. Michael Phelps arguably had a biological advantage by having hyper flexible shoulders, are we disqualifying those biological advantages? Of course not, so what do they actually mean when asking those questions about the chromosome? They don’t have meaningful answers to the questions I raise, they just want to add fuel to the fires of the culture war for their own political means.

I’ve not built anything beyond simple scripts in rust but I’m looking at some of the cosmic codebase to see what I can do.

That works until all* games come with root level anti cheat. It was the same with micro transactions which people still defend despite being utter shit.

• Realistically this will never be 100% but it will be enough of the mass market AAA games like CoD etc to mean that if you functionally want to play a game made in the last X number of years you will need to accept this or stop playing games altogether. I think most people will continue to play games. Most people will continue to install root level anti cheat, knowingly or otherwise, and all of them will get fucked by an exploit of that software. They may never even know about it.

Helldivers 2 does the same thing. If this continues it will be extremely advisable to move any non-gaming use-cases to a different computer as you have no idea what the “anti-cheat” is doing with that level of authority over your computer.

Kind of surprised this is getting so much criticism. It’s a thought experiment, not a call for a fundamental change to all PC UX. My only real argument against the idea is that it’s framed as being “for efficiency”. If you want efficiency above all else you would just go full command line.

How’s the battery life? I was considering one recently but saw some claim that the battery would only last 4-6 hours and that put me off.

Literally just bought what I believe to be last generation’s X13 on ebay for half the price of the new one. It’s been great so far, especially with the power efficiency of Ryzen CPUs. My one complaint is the soldered RAM, which judging by the new lineup is getting phased out, thankfully.

I’ve been programming for too long, my brain just autocorrected the typo so initially didn’t get the joke…

Lancer, I need to finish my Curse of Strahd campaign first…

It still works here. I for one have been avoiding prepping my next session for over 8 months now because of this!

You do you. People generally discourage rebase because it rewrites history but that’s what you’re doing anyway. You can achieve the same result with revase --interactive and following the instructions to squash all your in progress commits into a single commit. That way you don’t have to figure out how many commits between your in progress and dev(for your reset command) as the rebase will handle it for you.

I’ve only used helm and hadn’t considered kustomize as an equivalent, what about kustomize makes it bette in your opinion?

My take (having neither but building a NAS in the background of other jobs) is that if you don’t need the rack, don’t buy the rack. If you already have a NAS and you really want to play with the power that a rack would give you, go for the rack. If you don’t need it don’t buy it, simple as.

I think for most people it’s whatever you got used to first. I agree the hatred the GUIs get is overblown. I would always recommend people learn the command line but if you want to use a GUI, go for it, doesn’t affect me unless your commits are bad, in which case the CLI wouldn’t have helped anyway.

My friend and I are looking to make a game and the general consensus has been that perforce is still better than git LFS, so we’re setting up a perforce server. What is it about SVN and perforce that you miss? I’ve only ever used git professionally for VCS so I’m finding perforce’s always-online and exclusive-checkouts model just very strange (though I understand the need for it when working with binary files).

I like it and have been using it for something like 6 months. I had an issue where I really liked the application and how simple it was but I didn’t really want to “budget”, just keep an eye on where my money was going. That was fine, just keep zero-ing the numbers every month, slightly tedious though. Now they’ve got a “report” style behind an experimental flag and that’s made it pretty perfect for me.

I set up some family members with the electron app after they had spent 3 days to do in a spreadsheet what I had done in 3 hours in actual. There was resistance initially due to sunk cost fallacy but now they’re loving it.

Other options like ynab and firefly were just too bloated and complex for our simple use case.

Why is it surprising that you had a pocket knife confiscated at a bar?

I’ve heard the argument as a positive of learning vim and while it did finally force me to touch type I can’t say that it had any impact on my programming speed.

I agree with those saying mailing lists are intimidating. I don’t know if others are using dedicated tools or something but I find web based mailing list UIs just incomprehensibly bad and difficult to navigate.
