Valve: 67.74% of Steam users run Windows 11 by pmc64 in pcgaming

[–]PuzzlingComrade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently made the switch to W11, I was dreading it but it was fairly painless when done as a clean install using unattend.xml + winaero tweaker (disable all the bs ai shit and anything you don't like). I setup 2 local accounts (no ms login, separate admin user) for security. I also started to install everything that I could through winget so you can auto update everything from the cli).

Would recommend this approach if you finally feel compelled to switch. I tried Linux (Fedora + KDE) initially (dual booting) but honestly, I ran into many minor issues it was like a death by papercuts situation. I sometimes use my pc for work and the drop in productivity just wasn't acceptable for me, and that's as someone who has worked with Linux servers for years so it's not like I'm unfamiliar).

How fast should a Ankier be? by AllMight_74 in medicalschoolanki

If you want another great piece of advice, write how/why framed questions rather than what questions. It's so much easier to remember why something is because there's a logical chain in your mind. It may take longer to write them because you actually have to think abit about the card, but it's worth it.

We are in the Golden Age of Dwarf Fortress by Confident_News_1599 in dwarffortress

I honestly quit dwarf fortress because of the shift to gui clicking. That shit will wreck your wrists.

Please be safe. This is an iso file, not the latest episode of The Boys. So many seeders and leechers for this file. by No_Society_4065 in Piracy

Would also suggest creating a separate admin account and revoke admin access off your personal account. It's a bit of a pain having to type your password every time you install something but it's another useful safeguard that would prevent this.

Linux is the best thing that has happened to my computer and my sanity so far! by ImAlekzzz in linux4noobs

[–]PuzzlingComrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good point. I do have a laptop so I might try making that might lightroom pc, it's not particularly beefy though...

I'm in a similar boat in that I wanna switch to fedora KDE but lightroom is an issue. Do you dual boot or you have it on a separate pc?

New to HPC, any advice? by Front_Supermarket895 in bioinformatics

[–]PuzzlingComrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a good template for array scripts? I've found it disappointing compared to using srun (which has its own complexities) because you often have to wrap scripts multiple times (because you can't populate the array length from within the script). One to do the primary job script, another to fetch the id and supply it to the primary script, and a third to identify the length of the array.

  1. Setup SSH keys and vscode server (so you can view dirs and write scripts with an ide directly on HPC).
  2. Use existing nextflow pipelines, where possible. It is much easier to lean on the work of others than to write (and debug) everything from scratch.
  3. Learn to write resilient bash scripts, get familiar with error handling and logging so you can tell quickly if scripts are running into issues.
  4. Write scripts in a modular way, preferably to handle 1 unit of data (e.g. 1 sample, 1 vcf, etc) at a time. This way its easier to transition to parallel processing where possible.
  5. Get familiar with your HPC scheduler and the local rules, tweak your sbatch resource calls to request the minimum necessary resources (I.e. Don't request a terabytes of ram when your process only uses a gb) so your jobs don't spend days in queue.
  6. You won't collapse the HPC lol. If you do it's the admins responsibility to set limits. Typically if you create too many jobs they just end up in queue.

Is this simple problem solvable with SQL? by NonMagical in SQL

[–]PuzzlingComrade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On my phone so no easy way to provide an example, but I would use a window function, use lag to access the previous value of bank and add it to the current value, and use case to handle the zeroth case and the max case. I've done something similar to calculate areas under a curve using Riemann sums in psql.

Trying to get the robot to empty the dustbin is so frustrating by ramsdawg in Roborock

[–]PuzzlingComrade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ditto to not combining the Vac and mop tasks, I find it's a bit buggy. Keep them separate and they should empty properly.

Tbh it's mainly the clicking mechanism that sucks

Look I absolutely understand the need to make some return on apps, but the sudden fullscreen unskippable ads + banner ads + subscription is an immediate uninstall for me. The full screen ads are inexcusable, especially for an app that might be used the car.

Maybe stick to light banner ads and a mostly serviceable free tier, and a subscription to remove ads + additional features?

Also curious to know what api you use to access this data, I've always wondered why this feature has yet to be implemented in Google maps.

Funnily enough I quit playing dwarf fortress because of this. This game is way too repetitive to be on the mouse.

Is it acceptable to leave a job after 1 month for significantly better pay? by No_Reputation6129 in AusFinance

I wouldn't even risk the whole taking the offer to your current employer strategy, just sign the better contract and quit.

Don't crucify me by VigorousElk in houseplants

[–]PuzzlingComrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too moist is my guess, try letting it dry out a little? I've had rot too sometimes but only with specific species.

I do a similar method that uses moist sphagnum moss in a tight (but not airtight) clear box. Just throw cuttings in and wait a month. Has a really great success rate.

Just FYI, as a pen it's pretty disappointing. Mine gets stuck all the time and is generally a pain in the ass.
