I write better code everyday because yesterday code always looks bad haha.

The motor runs only for a second or two each time. In the moment, it takes more current, but otherwise isn’t that active.

If I had to change the batteries once or twice a year, I could probably live with that. But every month or so? Bad engineering

Probably a mathematician or physicist somewhere.

I hate reading the code I wrote two days ago.

No wonder. The hassle of changing the batteries so often is not worth it.

That is fucking dumb that you have to replace the battery every month.

We have low power mcu that can go down to a few uA and make battery last for years, but this company decided that it was beneath them.

Bad engineering overall.

What is causing that? Anything I can do to offset that when my children will be old enough for it to be a problem?

“Other company is worst so Apple is in the clear”.Why are you shilling for a mega corp that doesn’t give a shit about you?

Spring where I live is worst.

Lots of snow, lots of rain so that means a lot of slush, and any outdoor activity makes a mess of whatever you are wearing.

With the climate changes, we also get wild spikes of hot/cold weather. So one day you are in t-shirt and the next day you have a to wear a snow suit.

You are right that the terminal is a really useful tool. But for the average user, the terminal is intimidating.

No other OS works like Linux in term of UX. You can use iOS or Windows without a command line all your life.

As this post describe, it is next to impossible with a Linux Distro.

For the people that want Linux to be mainstream, this is an important hurdle to go over.

I know that Windows sometimes shit the bed where you need to edit a register or use PowerShell, but for the vast majority of people, it won’t be needed ever in their life.

I am mostly gaming these days but a few months a year, there is a 3d printed project with some embedded components so I’d like the distro to be relatively easy to use in those cases.

Thanks for the explanation.

I don’t have a lot of time these days, so my PC is mostly used for gaming at the moment. So I am not too worried about the OS being immutable if the gaming is good out of the box.

I still keep a kubuntu os and dual boot the other os I want to try on another ssd.

How is Bazzite for other things than gaming? For me, mainly embedded dev and productivity.

Linux Mint would be an OS built on the Linux Kernel.

Some people have a hang-up on calling any Linux kernel based OS “Linux”, because unlike its competitor, there is a lot of OS flavors.

You have “main” OSes (Debian, Fedora, etc.) and derivative OSes based on these “main” OSes.

Linux Mint for example, is based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian.

At this point, it is semantics.

I used bluestack to emulate android and us MS Auth when I had no choice.

It’s a waste of space, but it doesn’t go on your phone at least

I recently switched to KDE. What tweaks do you recommend (other than finding a theme you like)?

I tend to add is to booleans toreally differentiate between a method name and a status.

def open_file_dialog(self):
    self.dialog_file_is_open = True
    pass

That way, it’s easier for my dumb brain to spot which is which at a glance.

I’m talking about really basic stuff. AI is great as an entry point to a new language.

For example, in python, finding out the current folder in which the script is running or in preact, how to use simple hooks.

It’s fast, and once I know the name of the functions used, I can look up the documentation I need to and find appropriate tutorials and examples.

I am looking for a basic coding AI. I don’t want to create a complex software, just something to get me started by example. So bash script level is good enough for me.

I’m taking a chance, but which model would you use for learning new programming language?

You are overthinking it. This is just a premise to setup the joke that an engineer deals with approximation while the other two give up because they’ll never reach 0.

It could be a bowl of ice cream for all that matters, but people like corny jokes, so that’s it.
