because explicitly declaring types can be redundant, if the compiler knows a lot of the times you should also know

also because some types are extremely cursed: see std views/ranges

I specifically said this advice because dual booting windows with Linux is a terrible idea.

Although you are right, if you USB read/write is slow it will be a sluggish experience.

You should just test run it from a bootable usb.

Install steam. Mount your NTFS drive which contains your windows games. If you have sims on steam use steam. If not take a look at lutris before doing any of the above.

Your experiment ends when you’ve tested all games you want to play.

Now: You cannot use NTFS (windows) drive for games, although you did it in the experiment long extended usage is discouraged.

So you will need to find a way to transfer your games to a different formatted drive. (ext4, btrfs for example)

If you don’t need that advice you will eventually run into frustrating issues.

listen man if I didn’t have to work 9 to 5 every fucking day I’d have done so many more unfinished projects !!

I will say. if you have no idea at least clone your branch so you can experiment on it.

I started with nano and I hated it, I didn’t understand what anything meant in the bottom bar, like what is ^X. Unironically vim was easier to understand. I know what it is now but as a new user I didn’t like using it.

I’m sure emacs is great but I learned about vim and neovim first so it’s kind of a done deal already, not a lot of us Linux users are open source enthusiasts with so much time that we can noodle in all different flavors of text editors.

vim works great for me shrug, if emacs works great for you then awesome

The whole arch advantage (imo) is that you have a full understanding of what’s in your machine and how it works.

As a beginner you won’t understand and that’s okay, but you should try different things (or don’t and just focus on what works for you) as long as the end result is you doing: pacman -Qe and going “hmm that makes sense”, and imo the undesired result is going “hmm what do these all do, why do I have 2000+ packages”

isn’t there a mint version with plasma?

my unsolicited 2c is to checkout mint

that’s IIS as well, I think it’s because we had our severs configured in a reverse proxy and hitting IIS and failing before the http serverhad returned a response caused the 502 error, completely useless error.

(not very experienced with server configs so forgive me if the language isn’t 100%)

that’s everyday with the legacy web app at work, it crunches up code in a templating process and all the errors become either completely meaningless or just “error 500”

well, no. everything is a god damn web app because everything runs browsers.

so why write native (device) applications if the device can run a browser ? just write code for the browser, which also runs on desktop. now you have a cross platform app without needing 5 different teams

Yep, I was shocked to see that there is no defacto 1st party framework and during my time searching online I found lots of “use x, use y, no y is dead and none uses it, no x is terrible” which is how I found Avalonia.

I still don’t think there’s a solid Windows gui framework, but I haven’t looked in years.

pretty much every windows GUI framework is trash or a pain in the ass to deal with except for Avalonia (my beloved), but it’s more cross platform.

I’m not sure if this is 100% real but it very well could be. although imo makes me think of skill issue (not because the system makes sense, but these problems don’t really seem like problems to me, just minor set backs)

kliks has been making unhinged thumbnails and I appreciate it because it’s not clickbait yet … wtf is he doing

I describe ADHD as a purely executive disorder that harms your progress/goals. Which is why I agree with your statement as all those claims don’t really harm an overarching goal.

People with ADHD do things like frequently forget their driver’s license or frequently forgetting their office key card. It affects their day to day lives in more noticeable ways than just “whoops I put my thing in the pile of clothes, now ive lost it”

I’m at the phase where I’m reading constant blog posts about how libsqueeb2 sucks with metrics supporting them but the guy writing the blog post is also writing libsqueeb3 but it hasn’t seem an update for months. you really want to migrate to libsqueeb3 for various reasons but youre unsure about the state of the project, but for now you use libsqueeb2 while stalking this mysterious open source blogger

it’s too funny to actually be Garfield

I can tell you how I learned linux. be prepared to cringe.

1. I installed Linux before going to school, I figured that if I used Linux as my main OS I would be less tempted to dick around and play games

2. I eventually found a coop part time job as a dev. I used my own Linux machine, and being the star eyed young person I was I used arch.

this is the cringe part:

3. I did dev work on arch Linux without fully understanding how it works and ran into multiple issues (none of which was because of arch). for instance my USB wifi driver was the dogshit broadcom ones so the “drivers” for it were kind of messed and I had to hack several things into get it to work.

I learned systemd, Linux kernel modules, dkpg, obviously more familiarity with bash and shell stuff

4. I ran into issues with grub because FUCK grub. so I had to learn about boot loaders, fixing your install with chroot on a live usb, I also wrote step by step guides to untuck my particular problem just in case I run into it again

so moral of the story is… dive in?
