This also begs the question of why a project backed by a multi billion dollar corporation doesn't have proper docs and tutorials and has to rely on Medium...

Anyway, thanks to everyone for the early warning, I think I'll use my free time to learn something else.

@Midnight-shcode So, after going through the tutorials and trying the examples... the tutorials are still "the golden standard of pointless". Repeating the same basic things ad nauseam. When I got to "background processes" I was kinda expecting a few pages about processes, threads, IPC, services, the works. Instead they have three paragraphs and a link to a Medium article. At this point my brain was screaming like Shorty: "RUN BITCH! RUUUUUUN!" Not because it's Medium, I heard some people dislike the platform, but I don't know it well enough to have an opinion about it. I just I don't feel comfortable with the idea of using a toolkit with badly written documentation scattered all over the place. It will most probably bite me in the ass further down the road.

@SortOfTested I wish I'd found out about that a long time ago, thank you. Nice song :)

@codecrow @K-Hole @Midnight-shcode

It's starting to sound like one of those situations where I look for ways to make things easier, only to end up with a hot mess on my hands.

Hmmm... Let's see where this takes me.

@K-Hole I've only played around with Kotlin, this makes me think I should give it a serious try.

@frogstair I wouldn't go as far as calling it "absolute lack of usability", at least not from my experience. But I agree, it's annoying when you pay for something so that you wouldn't have to go troubleshooting, and then guess what? Troubleshooting you go.

@yowhatthefuck I've tried both Android Studio and Idea (both installed through the JetBrains Toolbox). The only settings option for Dart formatting was the line length. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely try vscode.

@electrineer Apparently yes, I can also set up a Flutter project on the command line. I'll just have to check a bunch of editors. Maybe I'll get back to Atom. Or see if there's something better.

I've had it for close to three years.

Some issues I've had in the beginning (don't know if some are still a thing):

- If you go for full disk encryption, the keyboard defaults to US for the disk password prompt. It will restore your install preference after that.

- Pacman will sometimes complain if you mix pip and pacman. More specifically if you ask pacman to uninstall something. So I exclussively use pip to manage anything related to python dev.

- I have a RT3290 card (bluetooth and wifi). The wifi works out of the box. I managed to make the bluetooth work once with rtbth-dkms-git. It lasted untill the next kernel upgrade and hasn't worked since. But it's no biggie since my headphones also work with a cable.

Other than the issues above, I love it.

Don't be sorry, that's the whole purpose of the platform.

Quadratic equation solver in C.

Civilization V or modded Fallout New Vegas.

@Fradow My bad, I haven't paid attention to the standby part of your post.

It's been a long time since I've refurbished a PSU so I don't remember many details (such as currents, voltages, wire colors and so on), but:

1. Have you shorted the power on wire to the ground? The first time I tried to use a PSU as a bench unit I simply wired everything up expecting it to simply work. Turns out there's a wire which must be connected to GND in order to actually turn it on.

2. Some units require a minimum load to stay on. This can be a power resistor connected permanently to the 3.3V or 5V wire. Beware of the heat. This may not be necessary.

@Kandelborg You're welcome. Also thanks for the Glenn Gould suggestion. While I can't code to classical, it one of my favourite kinds of music for relaxation and mind wandering (no pun intended).

And I've recently discovered this while I was looking for something similar to the Doom OST (some links are broken, but the titles are there):

Happy birthday!

I usually read a book, have long walks, or build something. Afterwards I start a new project, something that will teach me new stuff. Diversity helps (keeps things interesting).

@gitreflog I've only used it for Android and sometimes it can be a bit unnerving. Although I'd be a liar not to admit that the recent versions have improved. A lot.

Bbbb... but how can you not love it?! I mean, the speed! The lack of bugs! And again, the speed!

That shit is "gorgeous"!

If that blew your mind, wait untill you find that NaN is a number.

Webhttrack.

Best of luck dude.

So do I when I'm not using Android Studio. :P

Yes, that too. Going back to Gnome.

@Alice That'll be useful. 😂

Bring it! And go make a fucking avatar, would you?

Stop beating yourself and keep learning.
There will always be something you don't know.

Hi! I'd opt for Discord.

Good one. Have a ++. 😂

@CurseMeSlowly good idea but I'm not in the mood for swearing anymore. :D
