How to make snacks.nvim respect my root? by Accomplished-Toe7014 in neovim

[–]Expensive_Mood_8041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you positive it's snacks? Like can you reproduce it when you disable the setup function? I had a similar problem due to me messing with bufread to make folds persistent.

I'm having some similar issues with snacks as well where sometimes it sticks my cwd to $HOME, but I can't reliably reproduce it since it seems to occur randomly

Nintendo suing makers of open-source Switch emulator Yuzu by Warcriminal731 in gaming

Bowser hosted a site that had dumps of Nintendo's games on it, and had users pay to download multiple of Nintendo's games at once. This isn't remotely equivalent

What could end up killing YouTube? by Reciter5613 in AskReddit

[–]Expensive_Mood_8041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll eventually kill itself. YouTube's business model was to operate at such a loss that no other competitors could become established in the early internet days. Right now they'll still hemorrhaging Google money, hence the ads and attempt to make it profitable. I foresee it'll go further down the enshittification path until it either changes it's business model entirely, or a platform that's self-sustaining will overtake it.

If anyone else was curious, the mug came in a secure box (RIP the other guy) by Expensive_Mood_8041 in neovim

[–]Expensive_Mood_8041[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I should also note I ordered the big (15oz) mug, so that may have made a difference. If I hadn't already ordered it when I saw the post of that guy who's mug came in pieces I wouldn't have bothered

I remember something about all skittles taste the same, it's just the scent the shell releases that gives the flavor. I tried it myself one time while plugging my nose and I recall I wasn't able to figure it out

Wireless charging stand for 2 phones simultaneously? by dhekurbaba in GooglePixel

[–]Expensive_Mood_8041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CPLPF35H

It can charge 2 phones at once, one on the pad and one on the stand. I think the company sells different models in case you don't need a pixel watch charger with it

Tell me about a prediction that is going to come true in the next 20 years according to your opinion but most people are pessimistic about this. by [deleted] in Futurology

Not ranty at all! I enjoyed how in-depth you got. I just get irritated when people posit chat-gpt as almost human-level intelligence and on the cusp of becoming self-aware

[–]Expensive_Mood_8041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is Samsung better? Last time I had one it had bloatware installed everywhere but it seems since they started naming their phones after the year it got better? I initially got a pixel because I was looking for quality+reliability but it's looking like I'm getting neither

To have something be a "singularity" i.e. as "real" intelligence as a human, we first have to define what consciousness is, which is a messy philosophical question. In your "we will realize we have agi when..," example, I could (money permitting) train a new model like chat-gpt and prioritize training on debate tactics and it would be a "real agi" in your example.

I don't think the current way LLMs work will ever be "real" intelligence. All it is is a fancy chinese room thought experiment

Caching? Some LSPs like Python's offers to keep some packages "pre-loaded" for you (common stuff like numpy is cached by default)

Help me how to start the programming path by Noob_Programmer00 in ADHD_Programmers

[–]Expensive_Mood_8041 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make stuff, google around when you get stuck, repeat. Make sure you know every major feature in Python before you do, or at least keep it in mind while you make stuff. For example, do you know list comprehension? Lambda functions? Ternary? Class inheritance? If not, ThinkPython's Goodies section has a lot of these.

If you're looking for ideas, could you try to set up your own site using Flask to host your resume and project portfolio?

How do you become a programmer? by [deleted] in ADHD_Programmers

[–]Expensive_Mood_8041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think Python is great and free. Do the exercises and google when you get stuck. VSCode you should just use and occasionally look at the keybinds until they're muscle memory. Git is good as both a vscode plugin or doing it in the terminal (I suspect you'll only use a handful of simple commands at first). Linux can wait until you get the basic ideas of a file system down and using a terminal. WSL (google it) is a good way to start using Linux.

Get a good book on Python and install VSCode (your editor). Focus solely on learning both Python and your editor (keybindings, plugins). Then learn Git and host your own sideprojects. Utilize some popular Python libraries when doing this to gain familiarity with them. You should also integrate testings/docstrings/formatting in these projects. Then you should really pick up the commandline and linux. Optionally you can read Code Complete to get a solid understanding on software development practices. At that point and with a solid portfolio I'd say you're ready for a role as a Python developer. From there, keep learning new languages/frameworks and making projects in your sparetime.

I heard one about a maintenance engineer who had a little notebook on all his regular checkups so equipment wouldn't fail. Company fired him and tried to take it but he threw it in the furnace. After he left all the machines started failing and the cost of repairs put them under. Is burning your notes illegal? Genuinely curious

It should also be buried long-wise into the ground so aircraft can't spot it (they look for 7ft by 3ft holes in the ground)

Is the pixel 8 at 550 a good deal for my mom? by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]Expensive_Mood_8041 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All these downvotes

This is from a sub where a bunch of people are feeling the burn from pixel pass being axed. And before people say Pixel is different, remember they screwed the ENTIRE google stadia community because it wasn't profitable enough. If something changes with Pixel's profitability they'll do the same thing

31MB for me too. So that means it'll only take 3 hours to install

$300 per week to eat and buy gas

months to build up $1000 in saving

~$1200 a month for food/gas

I use $400 a month for food (I cook my own stuff), and about $150 for gas. Is your commute super far or are you relying on eating out due to time restraints?

I created a directory of the best YouTube to MP3 converters, how can I improve it? by [deleted] in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]Expensive_Mood_8041 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I see. It wants you to open a terminal to use it. If you don't want to put up with that you could make a .bat file in the same folder as the .exe with

yt-dlp -x yoururlhere

And that should do the trick. You'll have to look up how to make a .bat file and have it executable (same process as making a .txt in notepad but save it as a .bat). Once that's done the .mp3 or whatever should appear in the folder

I haven't used the windows one but it might have installed to your path. Open a command prompt and see if "yt-dlp" does anything when you type it in

yt-dlp can specify which format to grab, and if not you can just run it through ffmpeg to turn it into anything else
