  • Games run faster on SteamOS than Windows 11, Ars testing finds

  • 95% of the kernel is just drivers, so ofc it makes sense to cut out what you don't need when you know exactly which hardware you will have forever.

    Same with everything else. It's a video game console. The real point is that Linux with Proton, which you can install anywhere, can now beat Windows at its own game so to speak.

  • You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning

  • Actually, the apple climbs up the tree and claims it made it

  • 128 Democrats join House Republicans to block AOC, Al Green bid to impeach Trump

  • Can you though? Can I build the apk myself and use their services?

  • race conditions

    Jump

  • The only thing that sucks about npm are when package dependencies are not updated and dependency hell becomes very real, but that's not really the fault of the package manager.

    Yeah, fuck virtual environments and different Python versions.

  • I think it works great. At least I'm don't have to deal with Python

  • Electrical engineering and embedded programming is quite far from what I do, so that makes sense! One of my friends graduated EE 10+ years ago and his pace is much slower, but he's much smarter than me lol.

    I can get up to a pretty high apm when I get in the zone, and admittedly I enjoy the feeling of being a hackerman zipping through terminals..

  • WSL users

    Jump

  • Software development too, but also lots of sysadmin-like stuff so I spend lots of time in terminals/SSH. And I'm a vim fanatic.

    Of course I also spend a lot of time in the browser, but also man pages/local docs in a pager

  • WSL users

    Jump

  • If you actually do work, getting used to a tiling WM is like a drug. I can't live without it now.

    (that's a lie, I do at work cus I'm forced to use Windows, so WSL with tmux is an acceptable alternative)

  • WSL users

    Jump

  • I'm happy the Cygwin and Mingw days are over. WSL2 works very well.

  • WSL users

    Jump

  • My company only allows us to use the company-provided Windows image, so I do all my work inside a WSL2 tmux session.

    JetBrains IDEs and VSCode also have WSL connectors so it works acceptably well.

    It also handily dodges all the Windows security policies (like installing software). You can even run Xorg apps from it.

    I'm still forced to use MS Teams and Outlook, though..

  • Back when I switched to Linux, Nvidia worked much better than AMD cards, but everyone hates them for not providing open source drivers, understandably

  • In my experience, Nvidia drivers work just fine. They're just proprietary, and once in a while they release a faulty driver (which you can just roll back ofc). Happened to me a couple of times over the past.. 14 years, fuck

  • This is a bit of a stretch I think..

    Web development is complicated because it's indredibly poorly "designed" from the beginning, and doing a full redo is impossible.

    It is 100x easier today than it was in 2006 when I started.

  • Programmers then and now

    Jump

  • Kidding aside, I think the popular frameworks these days are incredibly well made. Frontend web has always been hell, and if your job is producing functional web GUIs, you can't do it on a large scale without them.

    Jump

  • I'm doing a small hobby project (a ladder/ranking system for playing beer sports with my community), and I tried out Tailwind.

    I gave up and loaded Bootstrap instead, but I will probably end up just writing all the CSS myself.

    Seems so silly to have 15 CSS classes on a single DOM element..
