@lorentz I remember going to see a electric car conversion company in the 90s. They were experimenting with super fast charging of lead acid batteries. Like 600 volts or something crazy. They said the limiting factor was the plastic case. It kept melting. Not sure on longevity of the battery either. They had the battery behind ballistic plastic to they could watch.

@retoor this reminds me of ID software releasing their early games as open source. Also reminds me of the Descent devs releasing their code too. They said they want people to see that production code isn't necessarily the best quality code. Which is a really interesting position to take.

@CaptainRant 🫡 sorry bro

"What could be so hard about coding?"

Pretend you have a bag. The bag has a limit on volume. There is also a weight limit of how heavy the bag can be. Now pretend you have an assortment of objects that have different weights and volumes. The total weight exceeds the weight limit of the bag. The total volume also exceeds the volume of the bag.

Describe a method for optimal choice of items to maximize the number of items.

Now assign a value to the items. Describe a method for optimal choice of item value in the bag.

At some point they will realize they don't know what the fuck they are talking about. You won't even have to say it.

@retoor haven't done anything on the opencv stuff. I found a whole bunch of articles and tutorials I need to read.

You wanted to be updated.

The update: ain't done shit yet.

@retoor in addition the whole secure boot thing I suspect is ultimately a way of locking out competing OSes as well.

So what is technically happening with bitlocker? Is it encrypting the drive or is it just locking the drive?

Virgin Linux User says "GNU/Linux"

Chad Linux user says "Linux"

(Had a meme for this but can't post images.)

@retoor did I succeed on this side quest? ;-)

@Liebranca well I want you to enchant pants for someone else. I am looking for the Testicular Torsion enchant on these.

Electric trolleys better IMO.

Sure, I am sure it works in extreme cold.

The problem with most energy storage solutions. Extreme temperatures mess it up.

@Liebranca I know a vampire so you can get the dust. You will have to find your own nirnroot.

If I had a guess its a lead up to a scare event to manipulate public opinion.

Where is "rage downvote" stat?

So I don't have a ctrl + alt + P defined in keyboard shortcuts in vscode.

My vserion is 1.95.3

@ars1 4o?

@retoor you got a lot out of that sentence. lol

So I asked chatgpt to give me an example of unit testing in Godot. It mentions the "Godot Testing Framework" and then spits out an example that doesn't use a framework and is not complete. So I told it that it didn't use "Godot Testing Framework". It says you are right and says that framework doesn't exist. But here is a framework that does exist and here is and example of that.

It did show me a proper example of composition though.

That isn't helpful for something so simple. My journey continues... I will get my prompt engineering degree in no time!

@jestdotty found a pdf for this. thanks

I find something about once a week that makes me wonder what is wrong with my computer. I don't know if its because I updated from an older version of Linux (config issue), or if there is something fundamentally wrong with the window manager (Gnome), the display protocol (X11) or the driver layer. There always seems to be something fucky going on.

For instance when the I want to paste into the Files file manager I cannot have the list view if there is a lot of files. I have to switch to Grid view. There is no space to right click and paste. Which is annoying and frustrating. There is probably a keyboard shortcut I need to learn for this.

Whenever I lock the screen and log back in, if the machine blanked the screens, it moves around and resizes windows and places them on different monitors. I don't even have a way to describe how stupid that is. No idea where the fault of that lies.

These problem persist through versions and always seem to add up to more.

Didn't she say that if she didn't behave she would get arrested?

@Lensflare this is my feeling when swiping apps closed on Android.

@Liebranca I have gained new appreciation of the "fuck you" Linus sent to NVidia.

@Hazarth yeah, I installed KDE and haven't tested. Our "standard" at work is Gnome. I really want to just get a new laptop and start with a clean slate.

@Root 18.04 was fine. I don't know if upgrading made it shit or what.

Ummm...they still doing it. Its called Thiomersal.

@nemetepst notepad++ might do java. I know, that is really really bare bones.
