WhatsApp Nachricht von Vati: "Müssen wir 2025 was tun?"

Zusammen mit einem Foto von seinem betagten Laptop, das den schönen "Eine neue Reise mit Windows" Screen zeigt.

2025, Year of the Linux laptop?

Mein Vater beauftragt mich ab und zu für Bestellungen von Zeugs für Haushalt und Garten über Amazon. Am Montag hat er mir zwei Wünsche für Neubestellungen mitgegeben. Von einem hab ich die leere Packung fotografiert, beide hab ich als digitale "Kurznotiz" ins Phone getippt.

Eben wollte ich den Auftrag ausführen. Auf meinem PC. Das Popup Menu unter "Konten und Listen" / "Nochmals kaufen" zeigt als Punkt 1 und 2 ganz oben... GENAU DIE ZWEI Produkte, die ich suche.

Eins hab ich zuletzt 2023 gekauft (30+ Bestellungen insgesamt), eins 2021 (12 insgesamt).

Wo ist mein Alu Hut? They are watching!

@code_disaster@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

Ok, für eins der Produkte ist es tatsächlich schon die zweite Nachbestellung. D.h. man könnte beides erklären mit:

"Der Kunde braucht 1x pro Jahr Nachschub. Jahr ist fast um. Hm, welche Verbrauchsprodukte aus der Kategorie hat er denn noch vor etwa einem Jahr unter gleicher Lieferadresse gekauft?"

Wäre allerdings schon ungewöhnlich clever, verglichen zu den gewohnten Vorschlägen. "Hey, du hast gerade einen Kühlschrank gekauft. Hier sind ein paar Tips für mehr Kühlschränke!"

Ich habe durch gewisse Umstände seit kurzem wieder Zugriff auf einen Kabel-TV Anschluss, inklusive der üblichen "Free" TV Angebote.

Nach über vier Jahren ganz ohne das "Free", nur mit DVB-T2 Antenne und der Handvoll öffentlicher Sender.

Fazit nach den paar Tagen: Oh Mann, die Werbepausen sind noch schrecklicher als in meiner Erinnerung. Und das Programm ist immer noch genauso scheiße, nur vier Jahre älter.

Und dann noch der Reflex, auf "Pause" drücken zu wollen, wenn man mal aufs Klo muss...

I'm good with just the one disaster, thank you very much!

Had a very weird first 24 hours back in Europe until I realized (after noticing this for two different kinds of bottles with screw-off plastic caps) that the plastic caps don't detach anymore from the collar. That's new since last year. EU regulation apparently?

@pervognsen I'm not convinced of the usability part yet - I think I look pretty stupid now trying to drink out of the bottle.

"error : Designtime build failed for project. IntelliSense might be unavailable.
Set environment variable TRACEDESIGNTIME = true and restart Visual Studio to investigate."

With the auto-switch from "Build" to the "Solution" output panel.

Any hints how to get rid of this nonsense? I don't want to investigate, I want it to shut up forever.

  1. Learn about some useful CMake option.

  2. Try option. Doesn't work.

  3. Read documentation again: "New in version 3.30"

  4. Check own version: 3.29

  5. Quit software.

@sol_hsa I'm on 3.29.3, the current version installed via scoop.

I try to avoid compiling CMake from source nowadays. ;)

hum... I wonder if I missed it, or if this separate rider backend process is new, almost 1GB, the project itself it the other one 🤔

code_disaster,
@code_disaster@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@djlink with CLion it now lists clangd.exe as a separate background process. I already wondered where it went to.

code_disaster,
@code_disaster@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@klord @djlink @sinbad Mine usually peaks around 10GB, when working with a fairly large C++ project.

The recent changes are probably about their work on CLion Nova to use the Rider backend. The last patch notes also mention improved performance when editing large C++ files, though so far I can't exactly say that I agree with that.

A while back I wrote some ISPC code for fun & no profit.

That code fails to build on macOS ARM64 now, after my latest brew upgrade, with a crash in the ISPC compiler.

Seems like someone decided to build & update the brew package by linking LLVM 17 dynamically, instead of static linking LLVM 16 like the official release build does.

That's what I suppose the reason is at least, I got no strong incentive to troubleshoot any further. Time to add the release binary to source control.

i typed "duangle" one too many times. now when i want to write strange, sometimes i find that i have written "strangle" instead. not good.

@lritter Almost 12 years now since the company went down, but it still feels weird to write "Reaktor" with just one K.

I wonder if the target demographic for the rentable electric scooters is assholes. At least if I consider where people leave the things. Such as sideways parked in the middle of a bicycle lane on a steep hill. Right after a curve.

@code_disaster@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@sol_hsa suicidal assholes if you factor in their behavior I've been observing in traffic.

TFW you update your PC dev environment, and watch not only one, but two of your frequently used tools/addons compete with each other in the "how to annoy the user about new AI features nobody asked for" category.

So I managed to frankenstein myself a neat Neovim setup with a bunch of useful plugins like LSP, code completion, and CMake tools.

Which works, kinda, "out of the box", if you happen to know which dependencies to install.

It works on Windows and Steam Deck Desktop.

But now the CMake tools part fails with weird error messages on Debian 12, and I have no real clue what's wrong, and how to troubleshoot it.

I suspect some nvim/plugin version conflict.

code_disaster,
@code_disaster@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@idbrii oh nice, a comment on a random, unrelated GitHub issue got me on the right track: error was caused by a Windows specific vim.opt.* setting.

So much for my splendid idea of using one config on multiple platforms.
