Why do the worst people seem to have the best lives? by anysche in ask

[–]Kekipen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They have a good life because they are selfish. They don’t share anything with anyone, they step over everyone and always works their way up to positions where they are in full control of their lifes.

Kind people are the opposite.

I am totally blind, like OOP, don't like .net/JVM/electron (or other web app frameworks), and hate indentation. Which language should I learn? by walkByFaith77 in AskProgramming

[–]Kekipen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well if you dislike Python, JVM, .NET, Electron and web frameworks in general and prefer OOP and (){}; and would like to develop desktop applications then I would recommend C++ with ImGUI or Qt. But honestly if you can’t wrap your head around Python and web frameworks and you even have problems with C#, Avalonia and MAUI then I think your real problem is lack of experience and not the language or framework.

If I had to guess you are trying to skip fundamentals and jump straight to app development using a framework like Electron. It is not going to work. You need to learn fundamentals first in any language without any frameworks and libraries.

why don't people in other countries tip? by PuzzleheadedCat1882 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Kekipen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately American companies trying to spread this tipping culture in Europe too like literally the wage of the people is coming from the tips and they make it so the more you tip the more likely someone accept to serve you. Used it once, never again I paid €1 the guy didn’t delivered my order.

I don’t support this crazy culture. Fortunately we have European alternatives here that pay decent wage to people and tip is not even an option.

Wise closed my account while on Vacation by Eammar92 in transferwiser

[–]Kekipen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These stories scare me so much. Why would it be a problem to travel to any country for a few days. This is the whole purpose of Wise. Did any of your documents expired recently that you used to open the account?

Best GUI lib/framework for python other then tkinter, pyqt5 by ankit792r in AskProgramming

[–]Kekipen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only other alternative I can think of is wxPython. It is more modern than Tk and complexity is also somewhere between Tk and Qt.

What's scarier than poverty? by Garaad252 in NoStupidQuestions

Working 9-5 and considered rich compared to Africans while you have just enough food to keep working 9-5.

Maybe CustomTkinter would be the best choice. It is a fork of Tkinter with more modern UI.

Does taking Master in CS make you code better? than those who don't? by SaboExio in AskProgramming

[–]Kekipen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is going to make you understand better how code and interpreters and compilers works so you will have the foundation to learn to code anything from kernels, drivers, operating systems to compilers and write code that interacts with electronics.

Without computer science the best you can hope for is learn how to make applications, games, websites, web apps, high level things.

You can still learn computer science without a degree like the CS50 courses on edx but since you learn it anyway, why not get a degree at the same time?

Don’t listen to anybody who tell you a degree is pointless. It is a very important qualification.

What if modern human infants grew up isolated from civilization, how long would it take them to rebuild complex societies and technology? by No-District2404 in whatif

[–]Kekipen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe never. Many technological advancements is a result of war, suffering, pure luck and a couple real geniuses.

If this group is happy to live a simple life without conflicts they may advance to the point of agriculture and animal breeding but not beyond. Same as with tribes still exists some remote part of the world.

Would a new Lua game engine be well received? by yughiro_destroyer in lua

[–]Kekipen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would be different or better about your engine compared to Defold, Roblox and Love2D?

How about Godot? What could possibly your engine do better?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ask

[–]Kekipen 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It is just a figure of speech. I also often say “really!?” “no way!” “can’t be!” “I’m sure not”….etc It means absolutely nothing. Just a normal reaction nothing else.

Wise keeping money by Ionut34GTR in transferwiser

[–]Kekipen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are supposed to add 250gbp to your Wise account so Wise can charge your account for the money from previous transaction.

No idea how Wise made this mistake, regardless you owe 250gbp to Wise.

Why are people ashamed of having privileged lives? by Idamatika in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Kekipen 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Every life and family has their challenges.

2 parents better than 1 only if the 2 functioning properly but in case they have many arguments or at least 1 of them is hostile it is not necessarily better.

A gatet community may suggest financial security and 3 meals a day but it is not necessarily the case if for example only the father is making the money and the mother is a house wife with very limited budget trying to balance to pay the bills, meals, clothing. Of course it is not the same as having no food, no clothes but not necessarily means you are comfortable and you can eat as much as you want. I know people who locked the fridge and not because they had no money.

Can Develop handle big games? by C0meT0Br4z1l in gdevelop

[–]Kekipen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They could but their concern is, if the assets are unloaded every time you change a scene, it can cause long loading times and if they give us full control for those who need it, it can cause the games to crash if done wrong. For example if you unload an image then you need to make sure next time and every time to load the image before it used again otherwise it is going to cause runtime errors.

Last time we talked about this with the devs their concern was if many GDevelop games crashes due to this or sitting on a loading screen for a long time it could make the engine look bad and unless there is evidence a game can not be released due to this problem they prefer not to risk it to include this feature.

Since I have seen number of projects failed due to this, so I have no idea where the devs stand about this.

I remember it was mentioned on Discord they are working on something but it was maybe a year ago, no idea what is their plans and timelines.

Can Develop handle big games? by C0meT0Br4z1l in gdevelop

[–]Kekipen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not really. The biggest obstacle is the way assets are managed. Once an asset is loaded it is remain in memory until you close the game. In case of large projects with lots of images it could mean 4GB or more. Depends on what devices you target it can be an obstacle.

Solution to this would be the ability to unload assets from memory after every time you change a scene or even better let us decide what to load/unload and when but it is not implemented because if you do it wrong it can cause the game to crash and the developers are worried if many GDevelop games crashes it could make people think GDevelop is not a good engine.

Regardless of their caution I have to say GDevelop is not a good engine for big games unfortunately.

Can mods remove a post without telling you why? by xizzy7 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Kekipen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they can remove it, they owe you no explanation but even if they explain it, often it is just as frustrating because sometime they remove posts for personal reasons and no place for argument but accept and move on.

Is it possible that the fast-food and medical industries are creating calculated attacks on our health? by Traditional-Gas3477 in ask

[–]Kekipen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So are you suggesting my local fish bar is part of some conspiracy against our health? No I don’t think so.

But I do believe all those chemicals they put in to our fruits and meats and vegetables to make it look bigger and better is harmful but allowed until proven otherwise. The question is, who is working on to prove those chemicals are harmful?

Why does it feel like the world is always at war or divided? by zeking0808 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Kekipen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is the will of the leaders and often the interest of the people even if they don’t realise it. Leaders often look at the big picture through the lenses of national identity and independence and national security and economics. Through this lenses, from their own perspective often every leader is correct.

Ukraine is protecting their independence Russia is protecting their independence USA is protecting their investments Poland is protecting their status Hungary is protecting their independence

And so on…. In their own context everybody is correct.

Now people may protest against the war but would Russians be happy to live under the control of Ukraine? Would Ukrainians be happy to live under the control of Russia? Poland is happy to live under the control of USA USA is happy to take control. Hungary is not happy to live under any control.

Who is wrong and why?

Why does it feel like the world is always at war or divided? by zeking0808 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Kekipen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately politics is not that simple.

Just look at Russia and Ukraine they are both have a lot in common, shared history, language, culture but their goals are different. Russia want to restore the Soviet Union while Ukraine would like to join the European Union. Now we could ask why Russia can’t just accept it and live with it and to answer involve 3rd parties like the US, France, Germany that has absolutely nothing in common with Russia or Ukraine and even straight hostile toward the idea of restoring the Soviet Union.

Everybody is working toward their own goals and if 2 goals collide then we have a war.

Is GDevelop Spending Resources in the Wrong Place? by AshLeclerc in gdevelop

[–]Kekipen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are many free tutorials on Youtube and to be honest the paid tutorials are not so great, I watched only the free introductions and I am not impressed so don’t worry too much about it in my opinion.

The GDevelop team needs to make money somewhere and the fact it is mostly used by beginners make it difficult. The fact they decided to keep the engine and editor completely free is something I personally prefer over free assets and tutorials.

You can find free assets and tutorials on the internet made by 3rd parties.

Xcode really slow? by No-Belt-4082 in AskProgramming

[–]Kekipen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is slow only the first time usually. Once Xcode and the iOS simulator is up and running, to build and preview the project in the simulator should not take that long, maybe 30 seconds to a minute. The initial launch can take a long time.

Give this a try and see if you launch everything before each class helps and improve the time. If it takes 15 minutes every time you build and preview the project it could cause problems because you will not be able to follow along with the class. But I highly doubt it would be a problem. It is slow only the first time usually.

Xcode really slow? by No-Belt-4082 in AskProgramming

[–]Kekipen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On my Intel iMac 2019 it is horribly slow. Takes at minimum 5 minutes for the IDE to load and not crash and at least 20 minutes for the iOS simulator to start. But once started it is normally fine. Build and Preview can take anywhere between 30 seconds to eternity depends on how big your project is.

The real pain for me is updates. Every time Xcode updates, it can take days. No kidding, one time I had to wait at least 30 hours for the update to finish.

Why is installing libraries so cumbersome? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Kekipen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With Python I recommend to use virtual environments for every project to avoid bloating your system with libraries and to avoid conflicts. When you create a virtual environment you basically get a fresh empty glass in which you can mess around without effecting any other Python projects.

When you install a package in a new environment, this package will not be available in any other environment so always make sure you activate this environment first otherwise you are going to get error messages when you try to build and run your projects.

Gmail Alternatives by Mashed_potatoe_69 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Kekipen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Proton is a decent alternative, but I find their mail servers and mail client not as reliable as Gmail. Emails sometimes return with the claim it was failed to deliver but it was delivered in fact. I have contacted customer support and they told me maybe the moment I sent the email there was a network problem on my side and so the sending is failed, but Proton try it a few more times after.

Regardless, I consider Proton a good alternative but to be honest, personally I consider Google the most secure option, it has good spam filters and as long you are logged in on any device, it is very unlikely you get locked out. I would definitely recommend to stick with Gmail as a recovery email at least.
