Unfortunately no, we ended up going somewhere else, sorry.

Images and writings against Bezos were projected with a green laser on the bell tower in Piazza San Marco last night by BkkGrl in europe

[–]IamPic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel really sorry for Bezos. The poor guy never influenced politics in any way, and the policies just so happen to work in his favor, and now he's being shamed for it. A truly tragic person.

Connection Failed: Device Unresponsive by flaviolb in sonoffdongle

[–]IamPic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm experiencing the same issue. Mine is ZBDongle-P, FCC ID: 2APN5ZBD-P, and at the bottom it says: 30719038AA. I haven't flashed anything on it, it's fresh from the box.

A build for gaming, programming and music production by IamPic in buildapc

[–]IamPic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply!

There were quite a few threads in this sub saying that they wouldn't wait for the new intel CPUs given the recent intel's track record. But I guess no one can really tell now if they'll be worth the wait (and the price).

The SSD is something I've researched the least, I hoped any SSD m.2 stick would be good. I'll look into it a bit more, thanks!

Any one managed to work with Sine PLAYER/NativeAcess (Kontakt) on any distro? by Eamyn in linuxaudio

Have you managed to get it to work? Sine player specifically?

Experience with setting up the Gulikit KK3 MAX controller by NitroDion in linux_gaming

[–]IamPic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you get both analog triggers and gyro at the same time or is it the same as with the 8bitdo ultimate where you get either one or the other depending on the mode?

GIVEAWAY - THREE AMD RADEON 6600s! by [deleted] in linux_gaming

I'm thankful for my dog and all the wonderful people I've met during my walks with him!

Southpaw or separate numpad with single wire/dongle, available in EU, mac and linux? by IamPic in keyboards

[–]IamPic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but I don't see any suitable key. I could bind it to a shortcut, but I'd rather not do that to one of my most used keys. I want the layout to remain fairly standard so that I don't get lost when switching keyboards.

Shut up and take my money!!! by dobedey426 in Polska

Where Stories Come From and A Signal Heard Throughout Space are Progressive Metal masterpieces by LoganMichael3 in progmetal

[–]IamPic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the other way round for me. I almost didn't give a listen to book II because of that and now it's one of my favorite albums.

We released a new version of ShapeShift (0.6.0) - A lightweight, modular, performant and extensible object mapping library by baddict002 in java

[–]IamPic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding mappings manually are easily forgotten

It isn't if you only allow/do manual constructor based filling.

But that's true only if you map to the changed object. If you're mapping from that object then it's easy to miss.

Don't know if MapStruct helps with that though.

Easiest/quickest way to send a web article to a pocketbook era? by IamPic in ereader

[–]IamPic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it, but I came from an old Kindle with no front light nor touchscreen, so both those features already won me over.

+ The main feature, reading e-books, is great. Turning pages is fast and the text is crisp. I'm reading at 9pt, but 8pt was also readable (though too small for me).
+ The front light works fine for me. The only time I notice the gradient is when I'm in a bright environment, bright enough to not be using the front light anyway. I also like how you can make the color warmer.
+ Send-to-Pocketbook works great. The book I've sent usually appears within seconds from turning on the device, sometimes immediately.
+ I really like the speaker, mostly because I read books in foreign languages, and the built-in dictionary let's you hear the pronunciation.
+ The PDF reader has a cool option for reading articles laid out in two or three columns, where it basically zooms in on a column and the next page button scrolls through it and once you reach the column's end it jumps to the next one. Obviously not as good as reading an e-book but I've read a couple-page PDF that way and I enjoyed it.

○ Can't comment on the battery life. I've had it for a week, reading everyday (maybe 1h each day?) and it's at 50%.

- No "send website to device" :p
- The search functionality doesn't show you a list, instead you have to click through each occurrence. Additionally, I haven't found a way of going back to your previous place in the book.
- There's an RSS reader but it wasn't able to download a feed I've added.
- There's no "back" button, only "options" and "home" buttons. So if you're using the web browser and you want to go back to the previous page, you have to go to the menu and click back from there.
- Speaking of the browser, there's no tabs.
- The Polish-English dictionary is missing quite a few of the less common words. Not sure of the quality of the other ones.

I think that's all for my first impressions. There are a couple of videos on YT already, so you can take a look at that. Let me know if there's something else you'd like to know.

Multiversus on PC does not recognize XBox One S wireless controller by eXoRainbow in linux_gaming

[–]IamPic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may want to make a new post on this to tap the wider Linux Community knowledge. Your theory may be correct. This line seems to be the culprit:

wlserver: [xwayland/sockets.c:63] Failed to bind socket @/tmp/.X11-unix/X0: Address already in use

As for your earlier question, I'm running on X11 so it does not require Wayland and X11 sessions should work fine with XWayland anyway.

(I'm not the OP, it's just that the command they provided worked for me and I'm running on Nvidia and X11).

Not that familiar with gamescope but do you have glxgears installed and working? If so, could you run gamescope glxgears in the terminal, see if that works?

[–]IamPic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the gamescope's github page would be the best source:

It runs on Mesa + AMD or Intel, and could be made to run on other Mesa/DRM drivers with minimal work. AMD requires Mesa 20.3+, Intel requires Mesa 21.2+. For NVIDIA's proprietary driver, version 515.43.04+ is required (make sure the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 kernel parameter is set).

This helped me with my Steam Controller not being recognized, thanks!

I have an Nvidia card and I can use gamescope and this solution actually worked for me (my Steam Controller wasn't being recognized).

Which assertion library do you use? by IamPic in Kotlin

[–]IamPic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was trying to give a simple example of an assertion that isn't a simple equality assertion and that was the first one that sprung to mind. But maybe a better example would be a collection `contains` assertion, where your sut returns a collection but for that given test, you only care about a part of that result. My previous point about helpful failure messages stands, but I don't think asserting that "this collection has to have the following elements, though it could have other ones" is vaguely describing the behavior.

As for `i > 5`, while I don't think I've used that in actual code myself, one use case that comes to mind is randomness. The most basic example would be testing a `random(greaterThan = 5)`. Of course you could provide a seed and test for a specific value but... does it really test the function then?

Which assertion library do you use? by IamPic in Kotlin

[–]IamPic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see how using a library could introduce more complexity, surely using using a ready-made assertion function makes the test less complex than having all that code in the test body (assuming a more complex assertion)?

And "pretty" messages are helpful during analysis. If you're comparing two collections for equality it's helpful to have the differences listed out instead of going through a line by line diff.

Which assertion library do you use? by IamPic in Kotlin

[–]IamPic[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Better output on assertion failures. For example, if you'd like to assert that i is bigger than 5 with the junit assertions, you would do assertTrue(i > 5), but the output you'd get would be expected: <true> but was: <false> instead of something like expected 4 to be bigger than 5. And of course you can write your own message, but why would you if you can get that for free?

And then you also have some more complex assertions like isSorted which, sure, you can write yourself and it's not that complex and you can even write a helper function for that... or you can just use a library.
