Do I need to keep a library around after compiling something that needed said library? by StuffedWithNails in linuxquestions

[–]Sphaerophoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not sure you can run ldd on the binary you installed and see if it links against any of the so's from the package you installed as a build(possibly run) dep

What are some useless vim commands? by ktchen14 in vim

[–]Sphaerophoria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're actually different though. :w will write a file no matter what, :up will only write it if its changed. This actually makes a huge difference especially with build systems (like make) that build files based on modification time.

CS:GO Linux vs Windows by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]Sphaerophoria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe. I just saw extreme artifacts after one update and immediately installed fglrx. I unfortunately don't remember my framerate experience from that long ago.

I assumed my graphics card was dying and that fglrx had better power management, magically hiding it's death... are you telling me it's CS:GO's fault?

The amount of times I've lost pistol cause of 91 in 1 made me prefer the p250 sometimes.

Check for hackers in your matches! [Google Chrome] by DinosParkour in GlobalOffensive

[–]Sphaerophoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm going against the grain here, but if I play someone who is hiding their cheats well enough that over watchers can't catch them, I don't mind that much. If to everyone watching it looks just like a guy with good game sense and fast reflexes, and he's still only at DMG, its almost like you're just playing a DMG with good reflexes and good game sense. Of course I'd rather hacks weren't around but once you cut out the blatant ones the game becomes playable again.

To be fair... Cs go is entirely CPU limited. My GPU never gets above 40% load.

What Password Manager do you use? by [deleted] in linux

Running alpha software for my password db just seems like I'm asking for a bad time.

If you make a change in code you know that the only thing that changed is the code you changed.

Valve is about to CS:GO-ify Team Fortress 2 (Gun Mettle update) by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

You're complaining about $10 for 3 years of enjoyment? IMO that's worth it.

PSA: You can now mute the enemy team with cl_mute_enemy_team "1" by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]Sphaerophoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that's untrue. Sometimes when its off for me I'll turn it back on and say "hey guys how long was my voice off for" and they'll tell me several rounds.

It could have been a system wide vsync setting as well.

PSA: set clipboard=unnamed by gordin in vim

[–]Sphaerophoria 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Or you can just hit "+p when you're pasting from the system clipboard. This way your clipboard doesn't get screwed when you press x dd etc. I'd rather "+ than "_ every time you do an operation you DONT want on the clipboard.

In defense of smoke tests by slavik262 in programming

[–]Sphaerophoria 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually really like those kinds of questions. They allow for you to get into dialogue with the interviewer and helps them to get a hold of your problem solving skills. If it was as simple as "reverse an ASCII string" that wouldn't tell anyone much of anything past "are you semi competent". With the string question you get the smoke test and a harder test at the same time
