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!

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 am reaching out to inform the owners of code-disaster.com that the domain codedisasters.com is now available for purchase. We believe that this might be of interest to them."

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

"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@mastodon.online avatar

@code_disaster Otherwise accurate except your version is likely something like 3.29.7-rc3 =)

code_disaster,
@code_disaster@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

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

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

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.

There are two types of people: Those who laugh their asses off about today's Penny Arcade strip, and those who didn't watch Dune Part 2 yet.

@kwramm hm, good question. I've read them too, like in the mid-90s or something, and I don't remember much about it.

kwramm,
@kwramm@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@code_disaster there were quite a few parts where people were like "omg Lisan Al-Gaib!". When Cryo made its Dune PC game there's also plenty of NPCs who comment on you possibly being the Lisan Al-Gaib

Popup Notification von Banking App: "Hey, eine Überweisung ist fehlgeschlagen!"

Ich: "Ok? Welche?"

Notification: "Sag ich nich."

Ich: "Mobile Banking App, was ist fehlgeschlagen?"

Mobile Banking App: "Wie? Was? Fragen Sie beim Pförtner!"

Ich: "Online Banking per Web Browser, was ist fehlgeschlagen?"

Online Banking: "Ich hab keine Ahnung, was du von mir willst."

Ich: "Postfach, weisst du was?"

Postfach: "Nö."

I see two options:

  1. Zack likes to do drugs. Lots of them.

  2. He's trolling all of us.

Rule of thumb: the bigger the installer package, the slower the server Scoop chooses to fetch updates from.

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.

@code_disaster feels bad.

AI nonsense is why I finally pulled the plug on my Photoshop subscription.

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, (edited )
@code_disaster@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@idbrii No, nothing like that. Also, true to the Debian spirit, apt delivers a two years old version, multiple stable releases behind. I built from source.

The errors sit some levels deep the plugins LUA stack. I'm not a big fan of LUA, so the prospect of "debugging" this kind of stuff doesn't excite me very much. Especially if it's a challenge already to figure out WHERE THE F the plugin manager stores the freaking files (it's in ~/.local/share/nvim/).

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.

Was Golem unter die Headline schreibt: "Polizeihund Roscoe wurde von einem Täter ... angeschossen und ging dadurch kaputt. Es handelt sich um einen Roboter."

Was ich zuerst dabei denke: "Beim Hund oder beim Täter?"

Demake of Agony (Amiga) for the KC 85/4, released on Revision '24.

Yes, it's just as crazy as it sounds.
