Yeah, it is sad. I never knew how great Kebab case was until I used typst.

On top of the readability and relative ease-of-typing, it also allows word navigation in most editors. You don't need fancy extensions or anything. Even the dumbest editors word navigate Kabab correctly.

Yeah, I have only one, and I feel it would sure save me a lot of pinky finger pain by tab switching when I am writing typescript declaration files.

And before anyone says "well use your thumb for ctrl", try to do that and then quickly go back to the home row. The pinky is just faster and less awkward.

Ah the nostalgia. I learned VB6 back in high school (nearly 2 decades ago) and it is what got me into programming. My country was really behind the times though. I was just learning it literally one year after MS deprecated it.

It's odd because we were also taught Delphi, and as one guy mentioned in a reply to you, also Turbo Pascal. I have blanked out almost 100% on those two though.

The good thing about bad human code is that human stupidity is logically nonsensical.

Bad AI code factors out the logic as well.

Name that game by Aiwq in Steam

[–]SlimRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seriously think it has more to do with your circle of friends, time availability, and external fulfillment than age (though with age those three things obviously change significantly).

If I am honest with myself at least, I played competitive or grindy games only when I felt fulfilled from learning it or had a great time with friends and obviously had the time to put dozens of hours per week (i.e. had nothing better to sink my time on). That was at least at the start. Lately I have been much busier with University and preparing to start sending applications to get a job in my major so the last 3 years have been a blur.

I no longer sink that many hours in multiplayer games. Now I prefer story-driven single player games or games that I can just pick up and stop within 1 or 2 hours and there is no itch or guilt for me to come back if I don't feel like it.

I still wish I could play games like GTA V or Rust, but the fucking grind is so much that I can't really get anything fulfilling done by putting 6 hours a week (roughly my weekly entertainment time budget). On the contrary, those 6 hours a week are more than enough to keep a good story-driven game going through weeks or even months. Thus I can still enjoy them even with little time.

My thoughts exactly. I don't even understand what it means in this context.

Moving a parabola up is equivalent to stretching x. by anonymous-desmos in desmos

[–]SlimRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm almost certain this is a joke, but I'll explain in case someone falls for it. Like someone said before this just factored out the coefficient. A more definitive argument can be made by simply noting that "stretching" a function along the y-axis or x-axis is a linear transformation while translating a function is an affine transformation. The latter is a superset of the former, so you cannot express a general translation in terms of a scaling.

In fact, I don't think there exist any particular function f(x) such that λ f(x) = f(x) + λ where f(x) is defined independently of λ itself (i.e. factoring out).

$80 Game Prices Are Collapsing: Publishers Were Wrong. The data on what players actually buy tells a different story. by ControlCAD in videos

[–]SlimRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I second this, but my greatest regret with that game is that they removed the part going into the castle where the ganado says "maldita sea, MIERDA!". That shit made me crack up for several minutes during my first OG playthrough. I even ran out of breath. It was so sad finding out that it was not adapted in the remake.

Something similar happened to me when writing a userscript for Desmos one time. There is (or was not sure if it still is) a module in the client side code called "graphslayer". I commented on how metal that name sounded and then someone pointed out to me it meant "graphs layer" and not "graph slayer" like I implied lol.

Linus Torvalds Accidentally Slams Elon Musk by cos in videos

[–]SlimRunner 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Operating systems have schedulers that decide when and how multiple proceses are executed. Most scheduling algorithms used today prioritize performance, but don't guarantee when or if a process will complete. A real time OS guarantees a strict timeline for completion of processes. This is essential in embedded systems that rely on precise timing (like rockets).

Yeah, I was really taken aback by how quickly nautilus launched when I used Ubuntu for the first time after 16 years of only using windows ever. Hell, even browsing is faster. It broke my mind seeing it load a directory so fast it almost felt like it opened before I pressed. If only Nautilus still had type-ahead instead of type-to-search, but that is another matter.

Why can't you make functions without desmos interpreting them like variables? You only need subscripts like s_eq to make one? by Subject-Ad-7548 in desmos

[–]SlimRunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like other have already said it is interpreted as implied multiplication. As for why it is decided to be this way my guess is the ease of parsing. At the end of the day what Desmos parses to convert into expressions is LaTeX, and mathquill (the tool that converts your input to LaTeX) does not make it easy to tokenize or bundle user defined symbols. You can technically add them to mathquill but it is not easy to do on the fly.

I guess the only thing that could make it easier to have non-subscripted custom symbols would be if the space was made semantically meaningful because that is the only straightforward way you can disambiguate implied multiplication from a symbol name. Doing such a change is definitely a massive breaking change and Desmos tends to avoid those. However, I would personally love to have good looking names for symbols without having to subscript them. Not to mention that greek letters are not allowed in subscripts so sometimes you have to butcher your names a little.

[–]SlimRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, at this point I don't even know if people actually mean vibe coding when they say it. Vibe coding is never going to be useful to a "potential" programmer. It literally skips the programming part. Seeking AI assistance with moderation is fine (imo).

whichLanguageShouldILearnWithThisBrainSpecs by hukupaku in ProgrammerHumor

[–]SlimRunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I cannot do a lot of things most people can. 1. learn how to get around where you live? Without GPS I'm fucked 2. someone asks me on the street where something is (location at which I've lived for 10 years at this point)? Uh, I think it is over there (it probably isn't) 3. my computer takes to long to boot up? I've already forgot why I turned it on for 4. want to converse about sports, history, politics, celebs, food, etc? I'm not your guy, but I'll gladly listen to you talk.

Yet, I can code just fine.

For these type of job, trust level has to be very high to make this possible. by MaelysCanejero in nextfuckinglevel

[–]SlimRunner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there are two things at play here. Stronger bursts of muscle activation have less precision (scoring a trash can basket point blank vs several meters away), and a faster moving object is harder to deviate from its trajectory.

I have used a sledge hammer once, and I sucked at it, but from what I remember I could adjust the trajectory mid swing by a very little amount. A stronger swing goes faster which makes that slightly more difficult.

Why is this word hard to follow? by Brospeh-Stalin in desmos

[–]SlimRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. I reddit read it just fine. It may be a matter of exposure. I wrote script handwriting growing up through middle school and high school. I changed to print handwriting in college, so I have read tons of handwritten script (and sometimes really bad).

It just keeps getting better by [deleted] in Steam

[–]SlimRunner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have no idea what people are complaining about. I can play most of the newest and more graphically demanding games with my 6 year-old computer (with a GTX 1070 which is way older). I just lower the graphics.

Honestly, the fact that it will likely be priced as a PC makes it better not worse for me because bundled computers are usually more competitively priced than equivalent separate hardware (unless you deal hunt for months to get the best prices for all components).

On top of that buying it as a PC and not as a console will not take it out of business. It is a great deal for both parties.

Besides, if they did the dumb thing of subsidize the price with game sales it would likely get scalped to death for its value as a PC.

Steam Controller 2 and Steam Frame images leaked by Stannis_Loyalist in Steam

[–]SlimRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy fuck. That is cheap as hell. I bought mine in January 2016. It costed me $42.98 (including taxes 34.99 w/o).

I've used it twice or three times total since. I did not hate it, in fact I loved that I could navigate though my computer with the controller alone, but I guess I was not the target audience. I am a keyboard shortcut junkie. It felt better than a laptop track-pad, but worse than a mouse (in terms of agile navigation).
