  • I just erased my project

  • If you're using vscode you might be able to look through the individual file histories to recover some work.

  • What's your best tip or hack for camping?

    Jump

  • I never really see people doing this, but I've had a great time pitching my tent in the back of my pickup instead of on the ground. You get a perfectly flat surface and some foam or an air mattress make it pretty comfy.

  • I have a bike I put together with this mindset and it's pretty awesome. If any component dies I can replace it individually, even if it's not made by the same company. No reason an electric car couldn't have the same benefits except that the average consumer doesn't care about planning ahead

  • A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?

    Jump

  • I rented Superman 64 as a kid, never knowing it was a universally hated game. We had fun with the weird multiplayer mode where you fly around in weird pod things. I remember flying through the rings too. The whole game makes zero sense in hindsight.

  • What are you using to play a guitar/instrument while listening to a song, looping, and slowing down the track to learn by ear?

    Jump

  • When I'm doing that I use a program called Transcribe! It has every feature you could want for this purpose, really. You can mark off the individual sections, measures (and beats if you want) and take notes, looping them at any speed you want (with pitch correction), and it even has a tone generator you can use to check your transcription. It's $39 dollars and well worth it. One time I sent the author an email and they promptly responded with great answers to all my questions.

    I do try to do it the old fashioned way first, though. I'll pull the song into Reaper or something and just play along.

  • Python needs an actual default function

    Jump

  • I haven't done much low level stuff, but I think the 'main' function is something the compiler uses to establish an entry point for the compiled binary. The name 'main' would not exist in the compiled binary at all, but the function itself would still exist. Executable formats aren't all the same, so they'll have different ways of determining where this entry point function is expected to be. You can 'run' a binary library file by invoking a function contained therein, which is how DLL files work.

  • ultimate storage hack

    Jump

  • Yeah, he was bamboozled as soon as he agreed to allow multiple separate files. The challenge was bs from the start, but he could have at least nailed it down with more explicit language and by forbidding any exceptions. I think it's kind of ironic that the instructions for a challenge related to different representations of information failed themselves to actually convey the intended information.

  • I'm Tessellation Kilmister, and you're listening to NPR.

  • What's your best habit?

    Jump

  • I always get my coffee ready for the next day before I go to bed. Makes it easier to wake up on time when you know you have fresh coffee waiting!

  • What's your best habit?

    Jump

  • One of us! Also for anyone who doesn't know, you can do ctrl+backspace to instantly delete the entire word. It's usually faster to do that and retype it than it is to hit backspace precisely enough times to get to the typo!

  • Poisoning AI scrapers

    Jump

  • Love watching his videos, they go way beyond your average music production youtuber content. I generally think generative AI is an awesome tool in itself, but that it's too ripe for the perversion of capitalistic greed. Like Jordan said in the video, it's pretty disgusting to ingest years worth of hard work and dedication from many artists and then use the resulting model to compete with those same artists. I optimistically predict that the current approach to AI will never do much better than the grey slop it currently shits out, though.

  • A house back in 2017. I really had no business buying a house, financially speaking, but I was getting fed up with renting land under a trailer I owned. They kept raising the price significantly every single year. Turned out to be a great decision since I was able to get a good interest rate and a good price. Of course there are downsides, like when the water heater flooded my bottom floor. Still worth it though.

  • Why indeed

    Jump

  • Yeah but like, what new features do apps have which weren't available in those times? Embedded videos maybe? Doesn't justify the bloat.

  • crushing it

    Jump

  • It sucks that you have to do that, but I know people who manage projects just want progress to come in on a steady drip feed. Hopefully some day you'll get a decent manager who can understand your work style and roll with it though, or maybe get to the point of setting your own destiny!

  • Are you saying the anus has ways of shutting it all down?

  • Learn to code

    Jump

  • You might enjoy learning vanilla js and making a site with as few deps as you can get away with. Or a lightweight framework like svelte or preact. The browser stack is definitely some weird shit but it's still somewhat approachable if you dig under the abstractions that most web devs never venture beyond. It definitely helped me cut through all the manufactured noise.

  • HDMI 2.2 will require new “Ultra96” cables, whenever we have 8K TVs and content

    Jump

  • A few weeks ago I watched Ladyhawk on a 13" TV with a built in VHS player. I realized that my brain didn't care about the quality as soon as I started paying attention to the content. I still like my 1080p but there's definitely massively diminishing returns after that.

  • What opinions about the tech industry do you feel comfortable expressing here, but not in public/at work?

  • I was using my school's website the other day and had a similar thought. I remember waiting a similar amount of time for many pages to load back in the dialup days. Why is it so slow to load a page that just shows some text and buttons??
