At least there are plenty of alternatives on the market already. When the enshittification takes hold, we’ll still have options.

Probably not the most complex, but in programming, the salesman problem: intuitive for humans, really tough for programming. It highlights how sophisticated our brains are with certain tasks, and what we take for granted.

Also, related xkcd.

Had some people visiting from Columbia. The squirrels absolutely blew their minds.

Don’t forget removing competitors! Gotta remove those competitors. That’s what healthy businesses do. /s

This definitely can’t go badly.

Can it?

No.

My description of the perfect controller:

  • nice size and hand fit
  • left joystick is “up” at a natural spot (sorry PS enthusiasts, those low sticks suck)
  • buttons are “chicklet” style (Xbox round buttons feel awkward)
  • one set of trigger buttons are “throttle” style
  • sits on a flat surface without any buttons being pressed

Not sure if there’s one out there that meets all of those. But I have a certain fondness for the GameCube controller. Always felt comfortable, and I actually liked the asymmetric button layout.

Pretty sure that’s a federal offence.

I don't know anything about Linux and the idea of installing it frightens me. Where do I start?

I bought a laptop yesterday, it came pre-installed with Windows 11. I hate win 11 so I switched it down to Windows 10, but then started considering using Linux for total control over the laptop, but here’s the thing: I keep seeing memes about how complicated or fucky wucky Linux is to install and run. I love the idea of open...

Try Linux Mint. You set it up on a USB drive, and you can try using it before you install it. So load it up, and try doing a few things you’d normally do (check email, etc.). This way, you can get your feet wet without committing fully. If you find you like it, you can do an installation (and it doesn’t require any fancy terminal stuff).

Nah, I name all my variables after my homies.

In zero-based indexing, zero is #1.

Javascript is all about them boollikes (or as we sometimes call them, booleish).

  • Support the police
  • Police shoot your dog
  • Shooting your dog is virtuous

It all adds up. /s

If the high-ups at Arrowhead knew and made that decision anyway, it’s squarely on them, full stop.

Why would paints have a different primary palette than dyes or pigments? They’re all subtractive, so the primary colors are CMY.

The red/yellow/blue is a lie!

owenfromcanada,

I see you’ve been tricked by their lies. Blue is sorta close to cyan, and red is kinda close to magenta, but they’re not the same.

If someone tells you that you can make any other color from RYB, ask them to make magenta. Doesn’t work.

I’m saying that, with respect to color reproduction, paints work exactly the same as dyes and pigments. You can’t make magenta paint from red, blue, and yellow. So the “primary colors” of paint are actually CMY.
