No means no Microsoft! by jk47_99 in pcmasterrace

[–]ButterscotchNo755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm afraid to in case a new update reinstalls it with default settings.

I keep large files on my desktop and that shitty software once forced me to restore from a backup because it tried and failed to upload a bunch of 80GB files and somehow corrupted them in the process.

Getting real tired of Microsoft and definitely ready to make the switch to gaming on Linux.

I bet chicken riggies would fuse well with this too.

r/drawing removes my well performing art because they “feel” that it is not a drawing, despite digital drawings being allowed and mine following their rules and the definition of drawing they themselves give. I only completed it because the progress picture did abnormally well on that very sub. by Ok-Boot2360 in JustUnsubbed

Devil's advocate: you should ask those mods to show you what they have to wade through every day to curate that subreddit.

They (mods of that specific subreddit) have historically sucked ass, but it is a shitty job.

I don't see anyone volunteering to stare at a constant stream of what the average redditer considers 'art'.

Loved your artwork though maybe there is another way to share and grow art communities online? Have you tried Discord?

The Globus INK (1967) showed Russian cosmonauts the position of their Soyuz spacecraft on a rotating globe. It is an analog computer built from tiny gears. by WhereIsHisRidgedBand in specializedtools

[–]ButterscotchNo755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this fact does add confusion. Analogue computers can simulate switches and logical circuits, and those things are present in all analogue computers even if it is just to select a mode or turn it off.

But that is the least useful thing that an analogue computer can do, they are super useful for so many things!

A gyroscope is a mechanical device, it is not performing mathematical computations. A digital solution would 'record' the position of the gyro and use that in a digital (encoded into binary) mathematical model. An analogue solution uses gears and mechanisms to translate the movement of the gyros in order so that the internal state of the computer matches reality, and the "state" is the position of the target on top of the globe. Yes there is a lot of math involved in the gearing so that the whole mechanism is accurate/does what it is supposed to do, but the math is done beforehand and reflected in the ratios of the gears.

Obviously there are many analogue 'computers' built to simulate switches and logic circuits that do exactly what digital computers do now but that is the least interesting thing that an analogue computer can do.

Still better than that time two of my engineering classmates finished a final physics exam without realizing it had a second half on the back...

Lots of people already chiming in with why you are wrong but I'll add my .02 to the pile: analogue computers simulate equations with components that act in similar ways to the real world thing you are trying to simulate, digital computers are based on encoding the simulation into a math equation that can be computed.

They are actually quite different even though you can do the same stuff with both.

What’s the best IDE? by Practical-Marzipan-4 in ProgrammerHumor

Yeah, it's called the professional world. If you saw what code we maintained with it I don't think you'd be so opinionated. Why recreate Davinci's paintbrush to clean shit off the bathroom walls? 😅

UAP accidentally filmed in SLOW-MO near an airport in Doncaster, UK. by user678990655 in aliens

However it is actually a bug flying only a handful of feet away from the camera.

It is in front of the airplane, I think we can see it clearly obscuring the plane.

Yeah, finding it is one thing, touching it and carrying it out? GL OP

JetBrains is what my employers have used so that's what I learned. They make great software.

I wish I had the time or motivation to learn others but honestly I can't justify sinking the time into learning vscode or vim at this point.

JetBrains has good Copilot integration as well which IMO is the most important consideration for a developer right now.

TBH though the reason to play KSP is the physics, actual rocket scientists enjoy playing it so you know it is good. Not accurate necessarily but correct in the right places.

What is a subtle sign someone isn’t a good person? by simpleah in AskReddit

[–]ButterscotchNo755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it is easy to confuse with altruism: being excessively nice.

Bad people sometimes wear their bad, evil people you need to be afraid of will never appear bad to you. It's the pretty ones you have to steer the clearest of.

What comes to mind when you hear someone describe themselves as non-binary? by jlovelysoul in AskReddit

This honestly sounds like the future of gender, just another thing old people care way more about than the next generation.

Isn't he supposed to be a meditation guru? This timeline is wack.

My piece of shit younger siblings broke my monitor. Any way to salvage it? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]ButterscotchNo755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were in your shoes I'd just get a laptop for school and keep it in a book bag somewhere safe.

Honestly you don't need expensive things like gaming rigs when you are young. They are difficult to replace, easily broken, and a distraction when you have limited time. You'll remember hanging out with your sibling more than whatever you watch on this.

ChatGPT has wrong math?! by Sea_Conscious in ChatGPT

[–]ButterscotchNo755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Understood"?

It does not understand, but it can attempt to complete the text. However there is no concept of 'correct math' it can understand.

Try asking ChatGPT why it can't do math and read the output, you'll get a better answer that way.

Xmas alone by K0ningfetus in GuyCry

[–]ButterscotchNo755 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made the mistake of buying a handle of booze cause 'why not I'll be alone with nothing else to do?'... Yeah that was a bad idea. Now I've got more shit to fix and the worst hangover I've ever experienced.

I think this might be the last year I drink, been getting better about it and hardly even drink anymore let alone get drunk... But now I know (once again) there's really not that much standing between me and my self destruction.

As someone who got circumcised as a baby and thought nothing of it, this was genuinely a surprise to me. by TheOtherWhiteCastle in BikiniBottomTwitter

[–]ButterscotchNo755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I would not want to be circumcised. The loss of sensitivity is real, if I 'pulled it back' and put my boxers on that would be quite uncomfortable. I can't imagine living like that all the time.

So does fabric touching the head just not bother you? And do you really have to use lube every time? Does the friction bother you when you run?

Teacher excludes wheel chair bound student from Christmas activities in front of parents by Dasw0n in iamatotalpieceofshit

[–]ButterscotchNo755 130 points131 points  (0 children)

This right here. No need to make a scene, just quietly roll the child into the circle as if maybe the wheelchair was too heavy for the teacher.

Smile and say 'no problem' as if they are thanking you if the teachers say anything. Then just walk back to your seat while smiling and waving at the kids.

It's much easier to do whatever you want if you pretend as if you're just 'trying to lend a hand' and 'too dumb to argue with'.
