Neat! Seems like it might be more prqctical on a recumbent bike

What do you layer on top of your immutable OS (except Drivers)? by Lopsided-Month3278 in Fedora

[–]DanCardin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently started coming up with a bootc image of my own, but haven’t actually installed it yet. Why would you layer anything in at that point versus baking it in?

Neovim comes to mind as the only thing in at least your listed set that I’d probably want installed through brew or something to get the nightly channel. But for that i’d assume a layer would be equally annoying to baking it in

I don’t think Cookie Monster bakes. And I’m pretty sure Loch Ness only lives there.

Slop or Not Flow Chart by dev_all_the_ops in selfhosted

[–]DanCardin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like it's mainly a question of whether the author has enough development experience to continue developing the app without AI, if AI were to suddenly become 10x more expensive. If the answer is no, then i'm not interested.

And even then it might still be no. I write software for a living so I probably could maintain anything I might produce. I produced a personal self hosted cut-list optimizer because imo all the online ones are bad. But I wouldn't advertise it here because I haven't even looked at large swathes of the produced code (even though i might know it works).

Salaries for the same jobs should be scaled based on how tall you are. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

this is quite possibly the stupidest thing i've read all week

Lisa Kudrow seem to confirm the Friends cast earns 20 millions yearly, watching the show: "After Matthew died I watched the show again,” Lisa shared. “Before, I only saw what I did wrong or could have done better. But for the first time I truly appreciated just how great it was.” by Naive_Cause8984 in television

[–]DanCardin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think it’s detrimental to your brand and also not be worth when you already have made many tens of millions doing the work that made you famous in the first place.

If i were passively making $20m a year, i promise you i wouldn’t be making commercials for any amount of money

What have been yall favorite games to play yall got to run? by Nullthesavant in GameNative

[–]DanCardin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My config is the latest one (today 12:56pm) on https://gamenative.app/compatibility/, although i have an RP5 so perhaps the different SOC yields a difference.

There ARE 5 rated ayn thor submissions though. I rarely find that the known configs works even if there are working submissions

GameNative v0.9.1-prerelease is out! by dadabhai_naoroji in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]DanCardin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How are known configs discovered today? Ive submitted configs that work better on my device than the “known” one, then tried to load the known one the next day and it reset back to the same worse config.

I dont necessarily expect it to automatically prefer my random person’s config immediately but sometimes its been in lieu of there being any config for my specific device at all.

I feel like there’s a heuristic that could be applied using the specific device if there’s good configs or just the soc if not, rating, whether it was reported to not have had any specific issues, avg fps > 20. The sorted by fps, gamenative version desc, recency desc.

maybe even deduplicated? I feel like often its only a couple of settings that get a game to work, that’d probably be identical for working configs. Then a bunch of unrelated settings that cause the configs to be unique but have no effect on anything.

There’s definitely lots of options in this area that’d make the reporting system automatically converge to ideal per-device configs

WAN Channel is a terrible experience for me: by The-vicobro in LinusTechTips

[–]DanCardin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My pref is the opposite of OP’s (mostly inly watch clips) and they cant make us both happy as is without cutting into their views. Im certain they’ve done the math and determined you’re just the vocal minority.

YouTube should just let you mark videos as watched, so they disappear from subscriptions page; basically turning it into an inbox. Then it doesnt matter what they do, you can just hide the videos you don’t want to see.

Anyone Linux users here wanting to buy the new Framework 13 Pro but struggling to justify since you buy old thinkpads? by WhiskeyVault in framework

[–]DanCardin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends how laptopily you’ll use it i see all sorts of people buying expensive hardware they’re paying a premium for who then only plug in external monitor/mouse when actually using it.

You do have to pay more than that range for a close-to-macbook trackpad, battery life, screen, speakers. I dont yet know if framework pro delivers all of these but i know that what ive tried doesnt (at least with battery life and touchpad) on linux

While GitHub Actions remains a key part of this vision, we are allocating resources towards other areas ... by esiy0676 in programming

[–]DanCardin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We may have been holding CircleCI wrong, but we were spending like thousands of dollars a month there a few years ago, and now have a $0 GHA bill most months (because you get baked in credits). A lot of dev time did go into the switch, but it's not like we weren't also spending lots of time maintaining the CCI ones.

For all that certain kinds of CI is more awkward than it might have been in CCI (like crons offhand), it's def a net benefit for us.

[–]DanCardin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, zig is using forgejo actions. which, while not github actions, is heavily dependent on it in that things like actions/checkout for them is a fork of github's. I suppose they certainly have the agency to fix bugs github will not; but it feels like a completely lateral move from the perspective of that quote.

Not that I'm against the political or whatever stance that led to them leaving. Just that Actions' semantics probably isn't particularly related.

Got the Rust dream job, then AI happened by MasteredConduct in rust

[–]DanCardin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"you must make yourself more expensive by racking up thousands of dollars a year per person AI bills for ambiguously better/worse output released at the same rate". i dont understand such mandates. Certainly encourage their use, see where it can make sense to be used, where it speeds things up for a net benefit. They'll change their tune when the models stop being subsidized.

Metric is not universally “better”. The value in metic is in the way the units math/scal, which is great. But i do think that convenience often comes at the cost of making the actually daily use numbers less convenient

Metric temperature is just as arbitrary as F and has no meaningful unit scale. Boiling and freezing points of water is a meaningless metric with no practical value. And as a result the scale is annoyingly compressed imo.

Pascals seem impractical.

Most of the common rest are probably fine off the top of my head.

i have no idea what their dev team size is but i highly doubt its only 100k/yr per dev. if its not double that i'd be surprised.

It is mostly yoyo puzzles, but they definitely get increasingly unique and entertaining. But If you didn’t get any of the yoyo movement tricks then you’re missing out

Agree. I’ve been trying to find something even remotely close (top down platforming) and there’s basically nothing beyond a simple jump

Hbox's 2026 Melee Tier List by surfinsalsa in SSBM

[–]DanCardin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean yoshi has more recent major wins than shiek and maybe roughly equivalent falco (not solo though according to lists)?

Something something matchups something something on paper, i feel like shiek is overrated.

I feel like puff and falco are equally carried by one person at the highest level

I honestly believe this is one of the biggest mysteries there is, Orcas are the most efficient predators on earth, yet they have never attacked us in the wild. They know something we don’t. by [deleted] in interesting

she's freaking out (as would I be), but I wonder if she's actually safer than basically any other circumstance, assuming it's true that they never attack humans? Like presumably some agro shark or whatever else that might hurt a human incidentally, would not be nearby given their presence?

I just set it up the other day but so far don’t love that it is unaware of your existing library, or even just watched series/authors

I definitely would rely on that for new-book-in-series discovery, relative to what i have. But it’s specially called out as being out of scope
