  • My Speciality: Cottage Pie

    Jump

  • I add a little corn starch to help the base thicken and hold together a little bit so it doesn't collapse as much. I also use a smaller glass pan and make two of them (I usually freeze one for my future lazy self).

  • Is it just me, or is the whole world in a bad mood?

    Jump

  • I'm in a pretty bad fucking mood but I kind of figured that was more my problem.

    Why don't the democratic voters actually riot over Trump and Musk instead of writing nice words on a Musk-owned social media?

    Jump

  • Maybe next time they'll lose by even less! That's about the best progress I can hope for in this country in my lifetime.

  • Crysis director says it was so hard to run it became a meme because its highest settings were meant for future PCs: 'I wanted to make sure Crysis does not age'

    Jump

  • No one here is mentioning that Crysis released right when single core processors were maxing out their clock speed while dual and quad core processors were basically brand new. It wasn't obvious to software developers that we wouldn't have 12GHz processors in a couple years. Instead, the entire industry would shift direction to add more cores to boost performance rather than sizing up each core.

    So a big bottleneck for Crysis was that it would max out single core performance on every PC for years because single core clock speed didn't improve very much after that point.

  • If you had to choose one superpower that you could never turn off, what would it be?

    Jump

  • A couple of multi-millionaires would pay you to stop and then you'd implode.

    Still a net win for everyone else though, I support this.

  • If you had to choose one superpower that you could never turn off, what would it be?

    Jump

  • I'd take it. Truly mastering any single skill is almost certainly beyond my ability anyway.

    I'm only okay at some things so being okay at all things is a total win.

  • Google begins requiring JavaScript for Google Search

    Jump

  • This breaks things like Whoogle that used the JavaScript-less api to pull search results.

  • Now what?

    Jump

  • I do not know who I am. I do not know why I am here. All I know is that I must kill.

  • Google decides it won't comply with EU fact-checking law

    Jump

  • Democracies around the world rightly shouldn't tolerate the blatant corruption and manipulative business practice of American tech companies.

  • Trulempets suck

    Jump

  • I was a teenage boy at the time so I was an asshole about everything. The trumpet was just one tool in my arsenal of ways to bother people.

  • Trulempets suck

    Jump

  • I played trumpet but I was a real asshole about it so this feels justified.

  • Microsoft should be terrified of SteamOS

    Jump

  • I've been using Bazzite too. It's kind of so stable it's boring.

  • Works on my machine

    Jump

  • Mostly infrastructure as code with folks installing software natively on their windows host (terraform, ansible, powershell modules, but we also do some NPM stuff too). I'm trying to get people used to running a container instead of installing things on their host so I don't have to chase people down when they run commands using the wrong version or something.

  • Works on my machine

    Jump

  • I've been really trying to push for more usage of dev containers at my org. I deal with so much hassle helping people install dependencies and deal with bizarre environment issues. And then doing it all over again every time there is turnover or someone gets a new laptop. We're an Ops team though so it's a real struggle to add the additional complexity of running and troubleshooting containers on top of mostly new dev concepts anyway.

  • Works on my machine

    Jump

  • To deploy a docker container to a Windows host you first need to install a Linux virtual machine (via WSL which is using Hyper-V under the hood).

    It's basically the same process for FreeBSD (minus the optimizations), right?

    Containers still need to match the host OS/architecture they are just sandboxed and layer in their own dependencies separate from the host.

    But yeah you can't run them directly. Same for Windows except I guess there are actual windows docker containers that don't require WSL but if people actually use those it'd be news to me.

  • Have you ever used the "column" command?

    Jump

  • I learned to write scripts on Windows Powershell and got spoiled by everything being an object so when I started writing bash scripts I think 90% of the work is trying to parse the raw text output of commands with things like awk or sed.

  • Lenovo Legion Go S official: $499 buys the first authorized third-party SteamOS handheld

    Jump

  • Microsoft has weird rules with OEMs about selling the same hardware without a Windows license. This might be a way around it.

  • Here's The Rule

    Jump

  • Guys will see this and just be like "Hell yeah."

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

    Jump

  • 1440p at 120Hz+ is superior to 4k 60Hz and is much more achievable for most hardware anyway. That's the sweet spot in my opinion.

    For media 4k is a pretty big upgrade from 1080p though.
