Hexorg@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is your favorite operating system and what do you like about it?1·2 years agoGentoo. It makes me feel like I’m in full control of my system.
My friend, let me tell you a story during my studies when I had to help someone find a bug in their 1383-line long main() in C… on the other hand I think Ill spare you from the gruesome details, but it took me 30 hours.
The Test part of TDD isn’t meant to encompass your whole need before developing the application. It’s function-by function based. It also forces you to not have giant functions. Let’s say you’re making a compiler. First you need to parse text. Idk what language structure we are doing yet but first we need to tokenize our steam. You write a test that inputs
hello world
into your tokenizer then expects two tokens back. You start implementing your tokenizer. Repeat for parser. Then you realize you need to tokenize numbers too. So you go back and make a token test for numbers.So you don’t need to make all the tests ahead of time. You just expand at the smallest test possible.
On regular desktop environments I really like Guake - it’s a drop down terminal emulator similar to how old games used to do it. It’s nice for quick use here and there. Though these days I just run tilling wm with xfce-terminal. It gets the job done and still looks good.

Hexorg@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does anyone remember a logo that looked like this? None of us can place it but we all think we remember.142·2 years agoMy first thought is Cingular Wireless
Hexorg@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Room Temperature Superconductors - This Changes EVERYTHING!3·2 years agoI see your edit but in case you’re interested - a capacitor is technically a 0 resistance battery for DC.
Hexorg@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What discontinued feature do you miss from phones or other technologies?English18·2 years agoI miss the times when different phones had character. Even phones of the same company looked completely different:
Now it’s just the same rectangle stretched different ways and maybe different color sides.
Hexorg@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What discontinued feature do you miss from phones or other technologies?2·2 years agoI like the concept of IR blaster but the one I had was in Samsung Galaxy s6 (or 5 don’t remember) and it came paired with a HORRIBLE app that tried to do its darnest to datamine your viewing habits and it’d do push notifications 5 times per day with just crappy ads. I really hate all the ad spam on Samsung phones back then. Idk if that’s still the case
Hexorg@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Elon Musk says Twitter logo to change, birds to be gradually abandonedEnglish46·2 years agoWhat was that about him doing twitter’s technology policing and leaving running the company to the new CEO?
Hexorg@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Google is working on essentially putting DRM on the webEnglish3·2 years agoYour own article says it’s VMs. The tpm itself can be bricked. Ok that sucks. Still not persistent like you describe.
Hexorg@beehaw.orgMto Programming@beehaw.org•Question: Communication between AWS Commercial and Gov Cloud1·2 years agoI haven’t worked directly on gov cloud but I’m familiar with its design. The two systems are completely isolated from each other with internet in between. I know you can port forward in AWS so a solution would be to spin up a VPN server in AWS and connect to it from gov cloud.
Hexorg@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Google is working on essentially putting DRM on the webEnglish2·2 years agoNo they don’t. Worst case known attacks have resulted in insecure keys being generated. And even if malware could somehow be transferred out of it you wouldn’t have to trash your whole computer - just unplug the TPM
Hexorg@beehaw.orgto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•Steam Deck and American / European Truck Simulator2·2 years agoI’m unable to look at the exact config screen but I remember you could configure the stick to map to absolute mouse position in deck’s configuration.
Oh I think it’s
What does the other end of a plug like that look?
Hexorg@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Google is working on essentially putting DRM on the webEnglish4·2 years agoTpm modules are pretty good. And you can buy them separately like another card. Motherboards usually have a slot for them. They are tiny like usb drives. They essentially are usb derives but for your passwords and keys. You can even configure Firefox to store your passwords in tpm
Hexorg@beehaw.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•What type of game do you want to play that doesn't really exist?6·2 years agoAn MMO where is truly feels like player versus environment and not another pawn versus environment. Stop having 300 people deliver the one lost ring to the same npc for days at a time. I think one way to do it is to provide a general prompt to GPT models and have them generate a few hundred similar but different quests that get assigned per player. But also keep track of these generated differences to weave a story. Make there be more npcs than players.
Hexorg@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How many Lemmy users are non-technical background?3·2 years agoThe only one with math masters getting hired for their knowledge I know was hired by NSA
Apparently Nintendo switch 2 is using the standard already, so it might go over better than Sony.
