lime!

the entirety of office has localised hotkeys. whaddayamean ^F is “search”? it’s for fat text!

nope, that’s an NT thing

i’ve moved to helix, partly to stop myself tinkering and partly because the reversed command model is just easier. plus it has popup helpers.

not necessarily. you could also have done a yank-paste, or a repeated action, or had a command output into the buffer.

it’s a good habit to always leave the editor in normal mode between actions, because that makes for a cleaner edit history with smaller changesets in the undo tree.

…vim is sort of like driving stick in that way.

what is even more funny about this is that the name of that directory used to be locale-dependent, so in sweden it was just called “Program”, completely nullifying that idea.

huh? it absolutely is

i’ve never had the time to get into emacs, would love to though.

also, some layouts have the : on its own key, and if you include the esc in vim commands you’re not using vim correctly :)

four. the ! is unnecessary. how many actions are there to save and quit in other editors? ctrl, s, ctrl, w is four. move to file, click, move to save, click, move to ×, click is six.

and that’s before we replace the wq with x.

they’re not errors either, because that implies they’re unintended. hallucinations are the program working as designed. they are more like… consequences.

surprise! it’s actually banning tylenol

i played and loved all the myst games, including uru live. i was really excited for neyyah, followed development for years. think i’m a third of the way through now, going by achievements.

so far, it feels like what people who don’t like myst think people enjoy about myst. it’s beautiful, densely detalied, and impenetrable . it starts with a five minute lore dump (cut down from fifteen in the demo, the dev was really proud of having “streamlined” the experience), there’s a new made-up word introduced every sentence (don’t worry, you get a glossary), and all the puzzles so far have been “align these in order” or “put the square thing in the square hole”.
puzzles are sort of integrated into the world like in riven, but in a weird haphazard way where there are random screens placed in the world. there are encoded notes everywhere, and they’re unreadable unless you “know the trick”, which you learn fairly quickly and after that they all become plaintext instantly. which is just as well because most of them are just fluff.
there are hints at interesting mechanics but i’ve not gotten there yet, the biggest change so far is getting a briefcase full of balls that activate machines. the balls are one-time use and uniquely coded so once you put the right ball in a machine it stays on and you no longer have that ball. it’s basically a series of fetch quests but you get all the items at once and have to just go around and put them in the right place.

all in all, a strange experience. i’m holding off on final judgement but so far i’m only impressed by the graphics. i’m hoping the story finds its footing soon because my patience with the glossary is starting to wear thin.

not really, unless you get like a mini pc. you usually don’t save much money at all on prebuilts. maybe look into refurbished or second-hand machines if your setup is very old?

what videos are those? flightgear looks like ass without mods so maybe it’s modded? also flightgear runs on a baked potato so i wouldn’t worry too much.

when it comes to building a machine, you’re unfortunately going to have to deal with rgb. the supply/demand situation has gotten us to the weird place where components with christmas lights on them cost less than those without.

“slightly lower” == 2/3rds, apparently. the model 3’s pack is 250Wh/kg. also, 500km range in what? the only way you could fit an equal-range battery in a contemporary compact vehicle like the model 3 would be if it had almost double the density of Li-ion.

i’m usually not very aware of my own mental state but there have been at least two times where my brain has just clicked into “we need to go home” mode and i’ve stood up and left in the middle of a conversation. makes me wonder how many times i’ve missed that queue and become grumpy as a result. i know at least one time where i basically just couldn’t muster the effort to emote anymore and basically shut down.

i think it’s more about him having gotten used to it when he played a character on a children’s programme. he also has the face for it, which randall does not.

thus rendering them redundant, because their strength is being bound to a single physical device. if they’re portable, they’re as good as asymmetric key pairs.

idk if that’s the intended takeaway from those numbers.

According to AllAboutAI analysis, global AI processing generates over 260,930 kilograms of CO₂ monthly from ChatGPT alone, equivalent to 260 transatlantic flights, with 1 billion daily queries consuming 300 MWh of electricity.

according to the faa there are on average 5500 planes in the air every day, and while i couldn’t find an exact number there seem to be between 350 and 1 200 transatlantic flights every day, depending on season.

260 tons is still massive, but let’s not kid ourselves. it’s about equivalent to producing 12 new american-size cars.

oh hey an actual joke in programmer_humor, let’s check the comments
