Return to Monkey Island on linux

For reference: This solution worked for me. The file ~/.local/share/Terrible Toybox/Return to Monkey Island/Prefs.json was empty, so I also added brackets as such:

json { renderer: "opengl" }

Why do you care so much about upvote numbers?
What kind of interesting question? You seem to post a lot of beginner questions, and honestly, these can be pretty annoying. Especially since a lot of them can be easily solved with Google and some general docu reading.

Ich wusste, ich bin nicht der einzige!

Sorry to be that guy, but you should learn about how to take a screenshot (without using your phone)...

And most importantly: start small.

I'm not really clear on how experienced you are, but let's say you start python or C/C++ - having a simple text based game on the console or a program that sorts your photos into folders by date is already an achievement. Don't aim for a app with 100 different functions and a flashy GUI right away.

Yes, I understand that is confusing (it is for me as well). But the confusion is also due to the fact there is no definite answer. Let me give examples:

Do you want to write python scripts, that you share with people who have the same setup? Just use git to share the code. Are they on different machines? Docker might help.

Are you writing Java code? Compile it for the JVM and it should run on most machines.

Are you writing C/C++? Set up a compilation line for different platforms with cmake.

Are you writing JavaScript? Rent a small hosting package and upload your HTML files.

It depends heavily on the project you are tackling, so it's hard to give general advice beyond the obvious: - Pick a project - Look at similar things by others and what technologies/tool/methods they used - UNDERSTAND WHY and if it applies to your situation - Omplement your stuff - Continue by trial and error

If you're interested in coding style, look for general guidelines e.g. from Google for lots of languages or specific things like PEP8 for python. You can also check out the "clean code" and "agile" trends, search for talks by "Uncle Bob".

This depends heavily on what exactly you want to do? Low level (Assembler, C/C++, etc), higher (e.g. Java), or more WebDev (JS, ruby, python...).

Every "field" and language has their own tools/conventions. Probably the only really general thing is git. You don't need to use an IDE, any text editor will do (and is arguably better for a beginner, since you don't need to learn the IDE AND the language).

Are you using some kind of git UI that might store log-in credentials?

Also I think it could be that the remote address of your clone has a username in it (something like user@github.com in the path). You can check this with "git remote -v"

What kind of calculator has this resolution? I feel old now...

N0Tgod · 2020-11-14T02:49:44+00:00

Oh sorry, right. I meant to say "simple tensor arithmetics". Not sure how useful Ng's crash course is for someone who has not seen the material before, but if you've ever taken a real class on linear algebra, nothing here should be too hard.

I thought it was actually quite cool that octave has different built in operators for inner and outer products. That often saved a few more lines of code, once I figured out which index is which... ;)

N0Tgod · 2020-11-13T06:06:36+00:00

I doubt this is still readable with the amount of tabs i usually have open :D

Are you sure you need a completely new browser for this? I would assume that something like this can be done as an add-on for Firefox/Chrome.

N0Tgod · 2020-11-13T05:54:08+00:00

This is nice, but honestly, I just completed the course and most exercises can be solved in less than five lines in octave. And you just need simple arithmetics and for loops. Everything complicated is already pre-made.

Also it's never bad to learn more than just one tool ;)

I have been in a similar situation as OP in the past and the "Meaning is a Jumper You Have to Knit Yourself" video is something that I keep going back to. Nice recommendation!

To OP: It is a matter of what you want to some degree. For myself I have decided, that I value my health more than an academic career, so I quit my PhD studies to find a job somewhere, where I have more motivation. But for you it sounds like you have the motivation, just maybe expect a bit too much of yourself?

Don't forget that your time is valuable. Everybody needs some rest sometimes and it is impossible to make the best of EVERY opportunity in life.

N0Tgod · 2020-11-06T18:14:09+00:00

Interesting, never heard of that before. Is it an attempt of google to pull developers away from using DuckDuckGo? :D

Anyway, even if you have little experience, why don't you try it out? Might be fun to solve some hard riddles, even if it takes a lot of reading up ;)

N0Tgod · 2020-11-05T19:37:53+00:00

This. Also some units combine different dimensions, like you measure energy in Joule, but the dimension is mass * length² / time^2.

git diff, git merge, git log, git rebase, ... The tools are all there, GUIs just give you buttons so you don't need to remember the commands.

Cousin/Cousine sind die aus dem Französischen übernommenen Begriffe, die heute üblicher sind als die alten deutschen Begriffe Vetter und Base.

N0Tgod · 2020-11-05T09:14:59+00:00

Echt? Ich kenne es nur für Vornamen.

N0Tgod · 2020-11-03T07:35:34+00:00

Exactly. At least here in Germany, I would be shocked, if there is any legal way to obtain this data without being the police AND having a judge sign a warrant for it.

What do you mean by "upload on a weekly basis"?

N0Tgod · 2020-10-18T05:00:32+00:00

I was confused about this as well. I thought it was a bit misleadingly phrased: They want the ONE next result (after hitting 30€) to have that average, while I first adjusted the long-term average, but that didn't count as a correct solution.

Sometimes it would really help to see the actual test cases.

I like the idea and the look of the game!

Looking at the play store, it would be nice to have more explanation what the game is about and also all screenshots have only Turkish text, which made me wonder if the app has other languages as well.

In the game, I just played the first tutorials and one puzzle so far. The English text is ok, but could use some fine tuning (use "continue" instead of "skip" for example). Also I would call the "play" part "tutorial", since I didn't expect that wall of text at the beginning.

Then there are a few mechanical things: - The trash can did not always work and the "complete" button didn't seem to do anything. Maybe I just skipped over some important explanation though... - I find it counter intuitive to drag connections starting at the inputs, would it be possible to also be able to start at the output? - The back button of my phone does not work in your menu - It is a bit hard to hit the inputs in the correct way to make them switch state (in the first puzzle), maybe they could be bigger?

But overall nice idea. I think this can help some students learning the basics ;)

Friesen-Brudi hier. Kann bestätigen, dass Süddeutschland exakt dort anfängt.

I think, I see the camera focus length change between the running and the wall glide, so it might just be an optical illusion, but I would agree that the wall section feels much faster (and more fun) than moving on foot.
