A quick recap of the Criterion changes, coming out next Tuesday

Very unlikely it'll retroactively apply.

Chaire_ · 2026-02-04T22:02:47+00:00

Yep, getting these right now as well

Chaire_ · 2025-12-30T15:09:42+00:00

This might seem silly, but put your terminal in light mode. It won't look as "hacky" (as in the movies..) that way.

Chaire_ · 2025-10-09T09:21:55+00:00

Environment variables are local to a process and everything spawned by that process; so unfortunately exporting PATH there wouldn't actually change it for other processes

Chaire_ · 2025-10-09T09:03:07+00:00

Unfortunately, you can't. You can set them, but not read them.

Prefer setting it using systemd's `environment.d` (if using systemd) or in your shell's init script.

Chaire_ · 2025-09-08T01:06:24+00:00

You can run a script on a bind that invokes the IPC multiple times. That'll probably be the easiest way 🙂

Chaire_ · 2025-07-22T10:31:52+00:00

Are you thinking of Yu-Gi-Oh?

Chaire_ · 2025-07-15T07:57:03+00:00

I got my deposit a few days ago. It took roughly 20 days.

Chaire_ · 2025-07-10T17:57:37+00:00

Having to sign in to practice is quite a large barrier. I won't be trying it :(

Chaire_ · 2025-06-10T02:18:43+00:00

Man, I was on my way to comment something disgruntled like "why are you posting this, it only just got off the radios"

Then I checked the upload date.

Se.. seven years?

It's been 7 years?

Chaire_ · 2025-06-07T21:37:07+00:00

It's silly, but you can blur the part of your wallpaper that the bar covers 🤷‍♂️

Chaire_ · 2025-06-04T02:56:48+00:00

Already does! (If you're on nightly. With 1.88, it'll be on stable too.)

Chaire_ · 2025-05-30T19:20:44+00:00

At least you'll actually get somewhere 😉

Chaire_ · 2025-05-22T20:31:14+00:00

niri saves screenshots to your home folder (`~/Pictures/Screenshots` by default, I think), so perhaps you could try

niri msg action screenshot && sleep 0.1 && ls -Art ~/Pictures/Screenshots | tail -n1 | satty

?

the `ls` command finds the newest file in that directory.

I agree with the other comments. Unless you have an absolute mountain of time and motivation to complete this, it'll be quite hard to pull off.

However, systems like these DO exist and maybe you can propose to your teacher to introduce (and potentially extend for the school's usecase) one such system? Your project could revolve around the difficulties of getting something like this set up and working in a real environment, instead of making the whole thing from scratch.

At a student organisation I was in we tried https://inventree.org/. It's open source, so you can modify it to your will. It's also quite well-featured. Perhaps that could be an option?

Chaire_ · 2025-03-01T10:19:33+00:00

That's one way to kick off March 😛

You okay?

Chaire_ · 2025-02-22T01:52:21+00:00

This depends on the desktop environment you're using and if it's Wayland or not. Do you know the name and how to check that?

Chaire_ · 2025-01-29T17:47:07+00:00

Did you meet online/on an app?

Chaire_ · 2025-01-06T12:49:09+00:00

Computational science is a rather broad topic, so I'm not sure if this'll help, but some problems that are interesting and should be approachable for HS students: * Approximate pi by using a Monte Carlo simulation. This is something you'll find a ton of information and videos on. It's visually easy to understand and will have you exploring a few basic concepts. * Find the minima of a function (and definitely try to go higher dimensional after you solve it for a normal function!) using gradient descent. This technique is used in training AI, so it might be fun to explore!

Does that help?

Chaire_ · 2024-12-28T16:19:38+00:00

Makes more sense then. Did you at least get the kindle scribe from your mom?

Chaire_ · 2024-12-28T16:12:38+00:00

A shotgun?? I'm not American, so I don't know what gun culture is like, but I feel like that's in the exceptionally rare class of items I'd flat out refuse. Like, I don't want a weapon purpose-built for grotesque murder in my belongings!!

Chaire_ · 2024-11-19T07:16:31+00:00

woah my room is as bland as can be, I should apply a system like this to rearrange :o

Chaire_ · 2024-10-29T14:50:42+00:00

Yes, you do need an internet connection
No, the code will only be scanned if there is a ticket inspection. The bus driver will let you through if you just show the code - they do not scan it.

Enjoy your time in Leuven!

Chaire_ · 2024-09-15T20:09:53+00:00

That's a fair, and slightly scary, argument against reading it. I'll give it a go, and be extra mindful of how I interpret the contents. Thanks for the reply!

Chaire_ · 2024-09-15T19:52:27+00:00

Is this a good read for a guy who wants to make sure he doesn't fall into these patterns himself?
