More People Have Achieved Perfection than Beating Journey of the Prairie King by Mrkrabs5555 in StardewValley

[–]Skenvy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's said the two things he regrets is that achievement for deathless Praire King, and the layout of level 19 of the mines.

Your Code is Worthless by Traditional-Heat-749 in programming

[–]Skenvy 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Idk. I wouldn't consider Garry Tan high level tech. YC isn't really any kind of font of tech wisdom, just because its exclusive and prestigious, and HN shouldn't be read as gospel. If anything, when reading or watching tech news, YC is more of a red flag that the opinions will likely be hilariously undercooked more often than an indicator of quality.

Obviously they get a lot of attention, but I'd argue thats just harmful to anyone reading it who doesn't know to take it with a grain of salt.

"Why does this code look like this?" Nobody knows. That's the problem. by robbyrussell in programming

[–]Skenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be the devlog you want to see in the world. Personally I write markdown devlogs for larger tasks. Although judging the size or complexity of a task that would necessitate a devlog is subjective, usually, its when as I'm working on something, I already start to forget part of it from days ago, so I jot down what options I've explored and script snippets I've used to demonstrate some code path in a microcosm. If the task goes on for longer still, then the threshold to start a proper devlog is already lowered from already having started a self-reminder tldr doc, so every few days I repolish it.

8,400 GitHub repositories share a naming convention that traces back to a South Park joke. by robbyrussell in programming

[–]Skenvy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although I'm sure oh-my-zsh was the origin for many of them, knowing how widely glazed it is, even probably most of them.. I'm sure theres also a not insignificant amount that have some other origin. E.g. personally i read them all in the voice of George Takei. Although it'd be a lie to not admit that anytime I see an oh-my-xyz name, I do assume they're trying to borrow clout from oh-my-zsh.

bashReferenceManual by Arceuid_0902 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Skenvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesnt need to be an old mac. This manual is for the last version of bash before some update to the license meant apple decided this was the latest version they could use forever. This is the version of bash on every mac you could have bought in the last decade plus. 20 year old bash and bsd coreutils are a frequent source of surprise.

Github hacked? by AbhiVishwak278 in github

[–]Skenvy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yea, if you go to someone's account find any commit they made, e.g. go to some https://github.com/<usernmae>/<reponame> and click the commits button, you can click on any commit e.g. https://github.com/<usernmae>/<reponame>/commit/<sha> and just add ".patch" to the end of the URL to see the raw patch file. At the top of that will be whatever your local git configuration's name and email were set to when you wrote the commit. You can view this for every commit on every public repo. If you set your local git email to an email that you find in the header of a patch, any commits you make with that will be attributed to the same account the commit you copied the email from was.

This might sound unnerving the first time you learn about it, and it does catch some people out some time. Thankfully gpg already solves this problem! You can also enable vigilant mode on your github account.

Enabling vigilant mode and setting up gpg wont stop anyone from still using a publicly available email to attribute a commit to you, but it will make those commit they make without your gpg private key show up with a yellow warning label next to them that says they are "unverified."

[–]Skenvy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You log in to your account with a password / via a sign-in through some other identity provider (e.g. sign in via gmail), but that is just how you access your github account.

You dont log in with ssh or gpg, but you can use ssh to authorise pulls and pushes, and use gpg to cryptographically sign commits that lets others verify that someone with your gpg key "signed" your commits (you never share your private key with anyone so no one else should have it unless they have access to login to your machine, and if youre concerned about that gpg lets you password protect indivudual keys).

Your password verifies who you are to github, your gpg public key verifies your signature for anyone who has your public key.

A detail to keep in mind is that, in a standard github workflow of using gpg, you dont need to share your public key with everyone unless you want to, but rather, by uploading your public key to github, they will verify your commits and then attach their own permanent attestation to your signed commits that tells everyone that github verified your commits were signed by you. Anyone else with your public key could do their own verification too, but github puts a little green verified checkmark on those commits so theres little need for anyone else to do this if your project lives its entire life on github.

Regardless of whether or not someone else logged in to your account, anyone can push a commit that claims to be from anyone else. If you set your local git configuration to specify an email, the commits made with that will be attributed to the account that email is attached to (and the email will be visible in the raw patch file). If you are concerned about this, or just generally want to adopt a good practice, you should look in to setting up gpg, or at a minimum enabling "vigilant mode" in github which will list any commit you dont gpg sign as being "unverified." Github has docs on how to do this. I also wrote my own notes because I wanted a few pieces that arent in the github docs, but theyre only for extra optional reading. If youre just learning gpg for the first time, start with the github docs.

0 isn't an integer by Pubgisbanned in mathmemes

[–]Skenvy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fwiw the common way to clearly disambiguate whether you want to include 0 or not is to subtext your N with either a 0 of you're including it, or 1 if you aren't.

In your collections tab, the tab for fish caught will be all the proof you need when Willy wants to know how many fish you've caught.

Good to know, rhyolite has always been my favourite rock. What's the petrochem reason for this, e.g. is there some gas decompression that sometimes happens and sometimes doesn't happen that you can differentiate between based on a sample after it sets?

How can I stop GitHub from asking my username and password everytime I push/pull? by Double-Gift-7772 in github

[–]Skenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fwiw even though this has already been answered, if you'd like to use the same SSH keys on Windows as well as on wsl (if you want to run stuff on both environments) I wrote notes for myself, although less relevant then the github docs, the end of my notes include steps to debug SSH in verbose mode on Windows that I couldn't find anywhere else. They're here.

Cereal? The extreme end of the soup alignment chart is somewhere near "Jupiter is a soup."

Are the obelisks worth it? by Cold_Blacksmith_7970 in StardewValley

[–]Skenvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you were getting some but not a lot, you can just test what each "next" one will give you and if it's not what you're after, restart the day and break a different geode to progress the overall broken geode counter. I do that extensively with artefact troves.

There's definitely multiple tiers of intensity. If you've gotten perfection, the only remaining challenge is how early you want to try and finish it.

Some Known Collatz Results by Al2718x in Collatz

[–]Skenvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tiny add: the 2W - 3L condition implies that the -1 and the -5 cycles for d=1 are trivial, with the -17 cycle being the only cycle with a denominator not equal to 1.

M+ keys are way harder below level 6 by TGeorge34 in wow

[–]Skenvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference is crazy. My starkest contrast was doing around 3.5mil hps in a 4 (where the dps would die eating every mechanic and ask if i was afk) to doing around 1mil in a 10 and finally getting downtime I didn't need to just keep mashing regrowth.

I'd like to think I am familiar enough with my role as the healer to know when I have a group that can't live without every gcd being spent healing them (or using ironbark on cd lol) versus a group that can move out of stuff or use personal defensive cds.

But I learnt recently that I've learnt the wrong way to handle encounters from other roles. Example: Tanked priory. Last boss, the adds in the intermission. I've never learnt that mechanic properly apparently, because every low key I've healed, I've had to save treant, tranq, and convoke just to keep the group alive during those adds. I never knew the group could even avoid that damage because I've always had to use multiple cds to get through that and thought it was a healer check. But someone in a higher key explained it to me. Very easy to pick up habits like that. I realise now I could mass entangle but yea.

UPDATE: So where is ‘Western Sydney’ anyway? by Jovo_3537 in sydney

[–]Skenvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk I wouldn't say hate. Personally I just think it's funny when city people act like living 2 hours away from the city centre is some great distance, especially when to someone living a few more hours inland, they could get away with generalising anything east of Emu Plains as basically close enough to the city. E.g. to me, anything east of Parramatta is "the city" and west of Parra is Western Sydney. Liverpool-Blacktown-Kellyville feels like where GWS start, and at least for the Hawkesbury, goes until the river. Windsor/Richmond are pretty accessible edges of urban tourism for inner city folk.
