My gawd, you’ve entirely ruined my enjoyment of this cucumber.

Forward slash doesn’t throw a mental syntax error? ;)

The current version is in C++

But if you check the link above, the older C and Fortran editions are free to read. This is the gold standard for numerical algorithms and scientific computing, without getting into things like GPUs and such.

Outer Worlds. Colourful corporate dystopian. Purpleberry Crunch!

Electron for physics apps? Yuck! that’s basically just web dev with local hosting. Like, try six million datapoints and plotting them in electron.

Making a web app is a mistake 9 times out of 10, particularly when dealing with larger datasets. Because you’re in physics, you probably want to skills you’re learning to be transferable into physics and data science in general.

I recommend starting with python (if you know it already, awesome), then checking out pyqtgraph – there’s a bunch of demo apps that come with the package and you can use those as launch points. This will be your gateway into pyqt/pyside and legit desktop application development. Later, if you learn C++, you can transition into Qt (and still use all the power of the toolkit and the skills are transferable), or into raw C++ which is amazing for numerical computing.

Chasing the dragon again eh

There is a world where Plasma release announcements are gaming news. And we are in that world. Never would have dreamed it.

Well, you kind of can actually. It just replaces KWin

This sounds like the sort of infrastructure project the Linux Foundation should be supporting.

They’re slowly laying the groundwork for EU5 being released. And that means slowly end-of-lifing EU4. I expect to see more and more DLC moved slowly into the core to keep people buying EU4 for a year or two.

Mods like Anbennar are doing more to keep EU4 alive than Paradox is, at this point.

Unrelated to the other question: any geoguesser?

My best guess is Kluane Lake, Alaska Highway through the Yukon. But Google Street view says there is more taiga there.

What does the original say? Poetry? Fanfics?

Delay it, maybe, but for how long and will it matter? 🤔

A KDE powered device of some sort. Laptop? Phone? Media boxen?

They died. But it was unrelated

Sure, it’s just another tarball to compile and install, right? What do you mean lots of dependencies? Oh, well, I guess there is Krita :)

Looks cool. But it’s no Mako

Very cool!
