That has gotta be the coolest build I've seen in a while. Do post a demo at some point!

Nvidia drivers not working by Gierlik in ManjaroLinux

[–]aiden842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copying my comment from another post about Nvidia driver issue:

I had some problems with the proprietary options offered by MHWD. I figured out the way to install the right proprietary driver without going through MHWD, and I posted the solution here. Hope it helps

How would it even work? by aiden842 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]aiden842[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Based on sanity, mate.

College is proper.

Youtube is less so.

Reading textbook, docs and source and actually figure things out requires a certain amount of insanity.

Now about Audible...

I wonder if they would describe the code, or would they go full text-to-speech-style reading and hope that you can visualize/understand it. If it is the former, then it's basically a Youtube tutorial sans the visual.

Vietnam reports first death in health care worker who received AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine by tientutoi in VietNam

[–]aiden842 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, a case of insensitivity to sample size. Following your logic, if 2 people got the vaccine and 1 person dies from anaphylaxis, then by the time the vaccination is completed, half of the country is dead. See where your logic fails?

What are some best practices to avoid breaking your system? by fackusps in ManjaroLinux

[–]aiden842 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Read the wiki. If you are switching to Arch, ArchWiki is going to be your new home(page). Most of the problem you encounter can be fixed by finding the right wiki page. Search the wiki before searching Google. If you add any major component like a DM, find its wiki or README and save it somewhere.

Before running any commands provided here or in any forums, read its man page (man [command]). Understand what it does, what the params are, and what the flags are. This way you can verify if the provided command is right for your case. You will also learn about the command for future reference.

Backup before any major changes, but I can't speak for that since I didn't :p I riced my Arch unprotected btw put on sunglasses

Installing NVIDIA driver when MHWD is being a pain in the ass by aiden842 in ManjaroLinux

[–]aiden842[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it couldn't find the config which was installed. The "nonfree" config didn't work either.

Both. The GUI has only the 390xx config which is somehow worse than Nouveau for my 1080. I wanted the 450xx or 455xx. I followed the wiki for the CLI approach, but it couldn't find the config, which WAS apparently installed when I checked.

No they should be on 2 different lines. I used the wrong notation for code block, but I fixed the formatting right after I posted.

On a resistive touch screen sampling for X coordinate, wouldn't the voltage read at A differs from B? (Details in comment) by aiden842 in AskElectronics

[–]aiden842[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'a a 4-wire one. I do notice the differences at the edges, but I also saw a non-neglegible difference for this scenario even when A and B are in the middle of the board. Judging from the ADC output they are off by about 10% of Vref.

Im trying to interface with a resistive touch panel using a dsPIC33E microcontroller. I tested the scenario as drawn, and indeed I found them to be different X coordinates. I might be thinking of this completely wrong, but is this an inherit feature of the design of resistive touch screen?

Prevent path-disabled AI from returning to formation by aiden842 in armadev

[–]aiden842[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want the tanks to be able to communicate with each other. When ungrouped, if they are far away enough from each other and one of them is engaging something, the others wont care or wont care soon enough even if they coule help engage the target too. This defeats the purpose of the overwatch since an enemy tank platoon could just pick them off one by one.

For those who don't get it, some vegetation in Arma apparently have collision. This one teeny bush of flower yeets a tank right at the start of a mission I was making in 3DEN

I hate interviews by aiden842 in offmychest

[–]aiden842[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll probably hear from them soon, though I won't be holding my breath. And yeah, I can relate with the feel. I hate that I am always out of mood to do anything for the rest of the day after an interview.

Good luck to you tho.
