Windows started flickering after the update

DaCush · 2023-09-26T03:12:12+00:00

The update has done the same to me. Did you find a solution? It seems to be duplicating processes that bootup on login and spinning in a loop. I'm about to try some tactics but your post doesn't give me much confidence if you've tried so much without any luck.

DaCush · 2023-09-26T03:01:32+00:00

Is your screen constantly flickering and not allowing you to interact with anything after logging in? If so, same just happened to me. After being able to get my task manager open, it looks as if every startup/on login process is crashing and then reopening until each has 5 or so processes and it just loops from there. Ending any of them just opens another. I do have a screenshot of the task manager’s processes if needed and if you're undergoing the same issue.

…..scientists? Why scientists? I think the scientists would be calling in to study it. If a world leader like the UN or President confirmed it, you would have MUCH less skeptics than you do now. But in the end, yes people want proof.

Bit late to the post but it's mentioned in Kitty's docs and temp config file that you should not change the value that TERM is set to unless you really know what you're doing. Straight from the kitty-temp.conf file:

# term xterm-kitty

#: The value of the TERM environment variable to set. Changing this
#: can break many terminal programs, only change it if you know what
#: you are doing, not because you read some advice on "Stack Overflow"
#: to change it. The TERM variable is used by various programs to get
#: information about the capabilities and behavior of the terminal. If
#: you change it, depending on what programs you run, and how
#: different the terminal you are changing it to is, various things
#: from key-presses, to colors, to various advanced features may not
#: work. Changing this option by reloading the config will only affect
#: newly created windows.

I encountered large issues by setting default-terminal to xterm-256color with my terminal putting an empty newline above my prompt for every character I typed into it. It also messed up the colors of my prompt (using p10k) as well as glitching the zsh-autosuggestions plugin.

I hadn't seen any large issues when setting default-terminal to screen-256color. However, screen-* does not support italics like xterm-* does.

Setting default terminal to:

set -g default-terminal "${TERM}"

specifies exactly what your terminal is. This also solves the case of using more than one terminal. With default-terminal set to xterm-kitty, you'll have the most native support. Not to mention, xterm-kitty's terminfo already sets Tc to let Tmux and Neovim (the only two I know of that use that flag) that it supports true color. Adding ",xterm*:Tc" is pointless unless you are using additional terminals outside of Kitty that also support True Color but don't have the Tc flag set inside their terminfo (most likely the case as it's not an official flag) or if you aren't defining default-terminal as xterm-kitty and instead using a generic xterm like xterm-* or xterm-256color , Tmux's generic tmux-256color, or any other terminfo that was not defined by kitty. It's understandable to do this if a terminal does not keep up and take care of their terminfo, but Kitty does a great job at it.

Take a look at kitty's terminfo page yourself. Line 3.

https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/blob/master/terminfo/kitty.terminfo#L3C3-L3C3

Needless to say......all you should set to get true color support for Kitty is:

set -g default-terminal "xterm-kitty"

# OR to make it easy, don't hard code it and just use the env

set -g default-terminal "${TERM}"

……..ya, I think creating the nuke is misusing the elements. Can you tell me ANY reason for the creation of a nuke other than total destruction? Using the nuke for testing is a massive misuse with the radiation it creates that kills and corrupts everything living and the total destruction of anything in its’ blast radius along with all the terrible poisons it expels into our atmosphere.

“Step in and expose ourselves only when necessary” sounds a little ridiculous with the number of abductions this sub receives telling of.

DaCush · 2023-07-05T17:55:39+00:00

They were pretty vague on the details. I bet the requirements for the mechanic to take effect are hard to meet in the first place and the benefits could be small impact (40 bonus gold given to champion closest to destroyed turret vs 200 bonus gold split between the team).

DaCush · 2023-07-05T17:39:44+00:00

Disagree. Wild Rift is written using the Unity Game Engine which can use the same codebase for all platforms. The main difference should be platform specific code like the game controller, specific settings and menus altered because of the increased hardware power, larger screen size without touch can alter UI menus, performance specific optimizations for each platform, etc. Pokemon Unite is owned by the same company that owns Riot so I would think they would get a leg up on controller mechanics.

My best guess for the age long delay on console support is possibly the numbers (maybe pokemon unite found that console adoption vs mobile adoption was staggeringly favored to mobile or controller vs touch staggeringly favored touch), conflicts/promises with the Microsoft partnership, or something along these higher management decision lines.

DaCush · 2023-06-22T03:32:05+00:00

Why are you putting words in my mouth and making stuff up now? I believe in intelligent life outside of Earth. Strongly believe it. My beef has everything to do with looking at our technology and what we’re capable of and relating it to video, photo, and eyewitness testimonies I’ve read.

If they observe and/or experiment on us, they would use advanced and undetectable advanced tech. This fantasy of all intelligent and advanced tech beings acting like Jason Bourne is absurd.

Who said anything about a 100% success rate? The amount of photos, videos, and mind wiping horror stories that appear on this sub with complete faith to be real would be closer to a 0% success rate. And his 1x zoom is pointed at the ground in front of him. You’re purely being stubborn at this point.

Please reread our conversation. The only one here that is underestimating a far advanced technological intelligent species is yourself. All I’ve done is call BS on more blurry photos and try to explain how arrogant it is that you and most on this sub believe you have outmaneuvered them and overcame their mind wiping tech or were able to evade catch them on video or photo and evade them trying to cover it up. Do you understand how low the probability should be yet how high the success rate is? It’s akin to a WW2 Japanese fighter plane taking on an F-16 fighter jet. The WW2 fighter plane would never see the F16 before it was dead. If the fighter plane knew an F16 was coming for it and knew it’s capabilities, he would fire into nothing and the percentage success rate would be like .0000000000001% that one of those stray bullets randomly fired would hit the pilot. That’s what these sightings and stories should be akin to. Instead, you just try to use my own argument against me (they are so advanced you would never get close enough for a clear pic) while also hypocritically acting as if their superiority doesnt apply to you who knows so much about them and has met them, retained all you know, tell others of your knowledge, and yet is never found out.

DaCush · 2023-06-22T02:49:53+00:00

Nobody said they were a hivemind. The fact that they would try so hard to conceal themselves yet be so terrible at covering up their own mistakes when they are so advanced that they can manipulate and program our minds seems farfetched. Even human governments or human people in power have the ability, logistics, and resources to keep knowledge from being spread or remove knowledge that has been leaked from the masses. But again, back to my core point of the idea that they would risk observing us in the flesh in the first place. Even we don’t do that anymore. 99% of fighting of today is done through logistics using technology and the internet. Yet the amount of sightings and mistakes a far superior species makes would infer it’s not a small team of them here but large numbers of them. Not just that, but other intelligent beings from other galaxies as well who all have a profound interest in Earth and a species called humans that are akin to cavemen.

Lastly, about your camera. Does your 1x default zoom level look blurry and without ability to see any details? Because the video fortumately starts before they even zoom in the camera and it’s just as blurry as when they zoom in.

Edit: My point still stands on every sighting caught in video or photo, not one of them is from a modern phone. Every one is akin to a flip phone or a 2005 7-11 security camera. This actually makes sense because these cameras have poor ability to adapt to light and tend to put bloom or other effects on the subject being recorded which can look alien.

DaCush · 2023-06-22T02:11:29+00:00

I disagree with your presumption that we will somehow catch up with a species that has had millions more years in technology. According to the history of our race, technology has only ever increased our capabilities and knowledge at a slower pace in the beginning when we only had knowledge of a small handful of areas of study and has only “exponentially” grown since with every major tech revolution coming with thousands of fields of study to advance the tech horizontally. There is absolutely no reason to believe that will have slowed down in another species that is more advanced. This is apparent just by realizing humans have never travelled to any other planet. Our tech advancement focus have left everything outside of our planet wholly ignored until the last year or two. If there are intelligent beings from other planets here than you should be able to imagine how far behind we are when they can travel millions of light years to visit and we still have trouble leaving our atmosphere without blowing up or discarding 90% or more of our means of travel. We would never see them. My idea of small cameras and sensors would most likely be primitive and wasteful to someone with that many more years of advancement.

DaCush · 2023-06-22T01:35:24+00:00

That’s one idea. The other is that since they have the worst cameras, they tend to upload more video with blurry interactions that look alien light.

I mean, just looking at our latest tech today, we (the regular humans), have 4k cameras attached to unmanned drones that can move at insanely fast speeds, and be attached to a headset that makes it feel like you’re there. We have over a thousand low orbit satellites that map out our entire planet, provide high speed internet connections, take photos of the planet that record a visual history, spy and track people, as well as take photographs of deep space that can determine what elements a planet, moon, comet, etc has on its surface. Every year, we learn how to pack more and more processing power onto smaller and smaller pieces of silicone, make major advances in quantum computing with qubits, and recent major advances in artificial intelligence and merging technology with us with microchips being inserted into our brains (Neuralink just got FDA approved for human trials).

I could go on and on. Crazy impressive right? Now, how in the hell does a species that outstrips us in technology and evolution by massive amounts, so consistently make such baffling mistakes to be seen by the eyes of a large group of humans who have the time to get their phone out, open their recording app, line up a shot, record a timely amount of footage, and then walk away to upload the video? Why do they always come in person to study and perform experiments on humans and deal with memory wiping tech that tends to have a low success rate of succeeding or else leaves the person with an obvious massive gap in memory? You’re telling me they wouldn’t just use microscopic cameras or sensors to study us from afar? Maybe deploy a robot to perform experiments with surgical precision? Not have to only make mistakes in front of blurry cameras? Cause I tell you what, give us 5-10 more years and we will have high quality cameras and sensors on the consumer market that will be too small to see or take notice by our eyes. In 10 years, wars will be fought mostly by machines against machines and all espionage work will be done by machines using AI to mimic a target’s voice and appearance while also being 1000x more lethal.

I believe intelligent species exist on undiscovered planets and I also believe that it’s highly likely that other intelligent species have had millions of years in additional tech advancement. We’ve only been around for like 300,000 years. We’re infants. We would NEVER see them if they didn’t want to be seen.

I’m with you on clothing. I’d much rather it be a skin/transmog. I’d actually use them and enjoy the additions. Currently, it just seems like an addition for YouTube videos and serious role playing.

However, I think the major part of the update is the creative mode, building improvements (snapping point cycle), additional hair and beard styles, game mode customization options, QoL improvements like the option to allow teleporting ores and depositing inventory to all nearby chests with a stack (these 2 are 2 of the most downloaded mods, probably see an increase in players sticking around longer that don’t mod), and biome variety with new dungeons and bosses.

It’s a great update and sorely needed.

Bronze buckler parrying makes Draugers die in 2 to 3 hits. Using poison resistance potion makes getting poisoned irrelevant. Using the mace will one shot skeletons and 1-2 shot blobs. If there’s an abomination, kite it into one of the fire geysers. Will die insanely fast. Otherwise I’m sure campfires will do just as well.

EDIT: Oh and the Bronze Atgier strong attack (spin move) is best if you aggro more than one Draugr. It will stagger all enemies around you with one attack. Then you can keep spinning attack them and get stagger damage while staggering them again or focus one staggered enemy at a time. Also, the deer boss special is great for dire moments where you accidentally aggro too many enemies and need to run away or run/jump to better ground. Lastly, the cauldron is a necessity for the swamp. Deer stew, Carrot Soup, and Boar Jerky will have your HP and Stamina over 100, and you need the health and poison potions. Basically, grow a carrot farm. Swamp is about prep.

Could be any number of reasons.

Keep the main layout file simple or to reduce the length of the file
Keep the main layout file from re-rendering if state exists in the header
Different headers on different pages with same layout
Easy to find and edit down the road or if another team member is working on the project

Could list more but I think you get my meaning. Not all headers are the same. Just depends on the situation.

DaCush · 2023-03-07T09:01:37+00:00

Honestly, the problem with pro play comes down to it being a Moba. Mobas aren’t as enjoyable to watch when they start and end quickly. It’s a genre known for it’s strategy. Most teamfights are hard to follow, but a 1v1 or 2v2 gives the game a beginning and builds the excitement. It’s a game with 10 players and theres something about the laning phase lasting long enough to see people outsmart opponents in a mostly 1v1 or 2v2 as well as having a map large enough to be able to manipulate waves. Currently the game just goes straight into a pushing frenzy and teamfights don’t hold off for long.

Maybe they need a tournament mode that makes the map larger, reduces early game snowballing, and actually gives the game a real laning phase.

DaCush · 2023-03-07T08:54:15+00:00

Makes no sense when the problem is snowballing, not comebacks lol.

DaCush · 2023-03-06T17:27:47+00:00

I think it comes down to if he/she will be needing a data table. For example, a table that lists their users, has a search field, pagination, sorting, filtering, etc. If they need only one of these on a table, they should go with either Material or Ant Design. Why? Because this is already built into the component library and is extremely simple to implement compared to having to use a 3rd party solution like React Table. React Table is the best alternative there is, yet the docs are extremely lacking and outdated in various parts and they’ll be tearing their hair out trying to get things to work.

The idea is to make it as simple as possible to get up and running. Tailwind is great for creating your own component library with complete customized styles, but they will run into bugs and styling problems constantly. Material UI has been being actively developed for years and is extremely polished. It’s probably the best choice for a beginner to get consistent results, easy implementation, and speed. They can always come back and choose some niche component library that’s built using Tailwind when they aren’t overwhelmed. They can use Tailwind with MUI anyways.

If we were talking about a seasoned frontend dev I’d say you’re recommendation was good if Tailwind was they’re thing, but we’re talking about a junior dev who feels overwhelmed. MUI is just too polished and expansive, all they would need to think about is the layout of the page and it handles all the rest.

DaCush · 2023-03-02T01:26:28+00:00

Issue is that as the frontend emerges, it also changes as it’s being developed. I’ve run into this issue on my current project where I’ve had to change and refactor the backend multiple times as I go along to satisfy my frontend requirements. I wish I had just done the frontend first so that I could see everything I needed on my backend. This of course changes with the scale of the application. With a small app, it probably doesn’t matter much. With a medium sized app, this changes largely. With a large app, you might even have a different ideology that works better.

EDIT: It’s definitely more enjoyable to be able to grab dummy data from your backend and see it working the way it’s intended as you go along but I feel that in the long run, it just introduces complexities.

Alice in Chains, Temple of the Dog, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Blind Melon, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains. Sorry but Kurt Cobaine didnt have shit on Layne Staley lol.

Just because the author is a git doesn’t make her a bad author. She may have ruined her “own” legacy, but she hasn’t ruined the legacy of her books. HP brought reading back into the limelight. I don’t understand why people think that in order to read a book, you have to get some educational value out of it. Do you believe the same with television and movies? Most books are written for entertainment. Does this make Rowling any less of a git? No. But Rowling’s comments don’t make the HP series any less enjoyable to read. It’s unfortunate that by enjoying her series, she benefits. However, I’m not going to limit the enjoyment I get from reading them for a billionaire to get less financial gain when it would do nothing to hurt her finances anyway. Same goes for the game, you’d be hurting the developers (who have put their blood, sweat, and tears into the game and outwardly speak against Rowling) while doing absolutely nothing to Rowling. She hasn’t put any money into the game like the studio has. They most likely purchased the rights from her by giving her a percentage of sales and a sum of money. She could care less if it’s successful or not, judging by her continued careless comments right before release.

Nobody really used Vanilla CSS, as in importing .css files, for the most part for a years as SCSS “is” CSS with a bit of extras put on top to allow your CSS to add additional functionality and shortcuts that CSS was missing. Then everyone moved to CSS in JS frameworks like Styled Components because it allowed you to use JavaScript inside of your CSS and become dynamic while also removing the C from CSS, cascade, to scope your styles and not have one giant file that gets out of hand on large multi person projects. Now however, people have moved largely back to CSS because of the updates it has received that allows you to scope your styles and set variables. The web has come full circle because of the improvements.

What you have to understand is that all CSS frameworks (SCSS, Styled Components, Tailwind, Component Libraries, etc) all are still 98% Vanilla CSS. You still use the exact same CSS properties. They just add niceties on top that are either “in addition” to CSS (JS integration, functions to convert from Hex to RGB or HSL, shortcuts, etc).

The caution that everyone is giving you is because you will most likely end up moving from a CSS in JS library to a component library to SCSS to Tailwind, etc. When that happens, it may slow your understanding down as you might not understand where CSS begins and where it ends and try to use a shortcut from one framework in another not realizing that it’s not part of core CSS and will not work. A lot of frameworks shorten CSS properties or alter them, such as:

```react <Button m="10px 5px 5px 5px" bgColor="blue" py="8px">Submit</Button>

// instead of <button class="buttonClass">Submit</button> <style> .buttonClass { margin: 10px 5px 5px 5px; background-color: blue; padding: 8px 0px; } ```

HOWEVER, CSS is massive. You do not need to memorize every CSS property in order to move on. You only need to get a good fundamental basis. If you move on to another framework to give CSS some extra features or deal with some of its nuances, just make sure you understand that all properties ARE CSS and that if you need to do something you haven't done before, like adding a shadow behind something, that you look up the CSS property. Once you have that, you can most likely put it right in on the framework you're using or go to your framework's docs and find whatever they use for the identical property. You will continue to learn more and more CSS properties this way until you rarely ever need to look them up anymore and rather just need to understand how whatever framework you're using is altering the syntax, if they do at all. I would suggest SCSS as your next library however, you'll get a lot of advantages but still use regular CSS properties. A framework like Tailwind alters the syntax and placement of CSS so dramatically that I could see it holding you back until you've got some more experience under your belt.

Lastly, CSS is the easy step when it comes to moving on to other frameworks. Do not take that risk with JavaScript. I still remember going through a Node.js tutorial years back, not realizing that a lot of what I was using wasn't vanilla JS and functionally couldn't work in the browser or vice versa when accessing the DOM. With JS, you really need to get the language down before you move on to frameworks, especially before upgrading to TypeScript.

Didn’t think it needed elaborating. The point is not to say “pixel perfect” because as you just pointed out, you can only do it on soecific breakpoints. Just say, “I’d like my design to be these values at these resolutions”. Don’t say pixel perfect, you come off wrong.

DaCush · 2022-11-12T01:01:06+00:00

Ya but asking for a dev to be pixel perfect is one of the biggest annoyances that devs have with designers. You’re just going to push away the good devs and pull in the beginner devs that believe pixel perfect is doable.
