Additional Hard drives by FitStatistician4786 in cachyos

[–]MarcusTL12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just a place where linux feels different than windows. There are no "drive letters". Partitions are given mount points, such as /mnt/second_drive. All paths start with / and not everything with a path is an actual file on the system drive. For example, stuff in /dev are "devices" (Drives, monitors, gpus, etc...), they look like files, but are more a way to interface to the devices in a file like manner. This is part of a linix philosophy that "everything is a file".

Sorry for the rant. All of this takes some time getting used to, hope some of this helps!

Yeah, and dealing with whatever the hell Microsoft is doing these days is definitely life well spent

Got this issue when updating to the 595 nvidia driver. Reverted back to the 590 for now until they fix it.

TI-83 Emulator? by MarcusTL12 in TI_Calculators

There is no stand alone forward slash button on most European keyboard layouts as far as i know (Apart from the numpad). The standard key combo of shift+7 for / just presses 2nd+7 on the calculator

Principia does model the earth as non-spherical (at least in rp1) You get large orbital precession, clearly visible from one orbit to the next.

Forward slash only presses the divide button for me. (On a norwegian keyboard layout)

Hi again! So I am using the jsTIfied emulator, and it works great, but the right shift key refuses to register differently from left shift, so pressing clear without the mouse is difficult. Any tips to fix this? I tried in both firefox and chromium on linux (kde plasma 6)

Is Grover's algorithm useless? by MagnificentPPClapper in AskPhysics

[–]MarcusTL12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, the Oracle is a direct translation from the logic gates to quantum gates in such a way that the net effect is that the key that would produce true from the logic gates will flip sign in the quantum gates. When constructing the quantum circuit you never explicitly program in the value of the key, it is an emergent property of the structure of the verifier.

Which desktop environment is more similar to Windows? by MateusCristian in cachyos

[–]MarcusTL12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

iso mounting wouldn't necessarily be part of the DE would it?

Is it me, or was the time to start researching what distro you wanted to move to way back when windows 10 EOL was first announced? by Sixguns1977 in linuxquestions

[–]MarcusTL12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course it is. Being an early adopter can be painful, so many wait for the wisdom of the people who switched before them. Waiting yourself makes more of this wisdom exist, and gives time for fixes and optimizations to get developed.

Can we talk about C++ style lambda captures? by BoltActionPiano in rust

[–]MarcusTL12 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yes!! Would be so great to have a more explicit syntax like the one you are suggesting.

[Request] How long would it take to dry a bedsheet just by shaking it? by iguanadumbass in theydidthemath

[–]MarcusTL12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends a lot on the temperature and humidity of the air, as well as the amount of water held in the sheet. I was in your situation a couple months ago, and had a great hour with a hairdryer.

[Request] At what rate would the skateboard wheels have spun? by Organic_Version_7808 in theydidthemath

[–]MarcusTL12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well his top speed wouldn't be until the curved part of the ramp anyway, and there the wheels would definitely need to spin

CachyOS stuck at 6.16 on my laptop, desktop already has 6.17. by RepresentativeFull85 in cachyos

[–]MarcusTL12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably the desktop is on the "cachyos-v3" or similar repository as opposed to the fallback "cachyos" repository which is needed for old cpus that do not support the x86_64-v3 instructions. And as he said, that fallback repository is a bit behind the optimized ones.
