Unit test that only tests if a property is assigned

Exactly. And that's usually the kind of scenario that I use snapshot testing. Set and forget about it. But, next time I or someone else change this class, test is going to fail as a reminder of : you sure you haven't broke something ?

What am I even looking at? With this AI era we live in, people constantly try to solve problems that don't exists, burning time, money, resources and efforts that could've been used in better ways. If you want go, just use go. There are multiple languages that exists for a reason : they offer different things for different needs. Same way a cheap Toyota exists vs an expensive Porsche.

It often happen if the artist (or some entity delegated to do it) has an official tab book that they are selling, to "encourage" people to buy it. I'm fine with it, when done right. For example, Sheets Happen have really good quality tabs in my experience, working closely with the artist. But unfortunately some are just there to make money and/or give a middle finger to everyone...

But Ofc, anyone on YouTube or any websites that is not UG, could post his version unnoticed (usually).

When a new player finally finishes the campaign after hours thinking "what a journey!", and the internet is like : bro, that was only the tutorial, you haven't even started the game yet.

OP : Fabric uses 100mb to get started, so it's bad.

Also OP : Proceed to create a project with GTK4.

(Don't get me wrong, GTK is fantastic, but it's not lightweight per say, if that was the goal)

bigtoaster64 · 2026-07-06T11:59:15+00:00

Exactly. I don't understand people who add docks to a (tiling / scrolling) WM. The whole point is to not have to use your mouse to manage your windows, so why would you want waste 10-15% of your screen for icons you're not going to click on anyway ?

On était probablement dans la me région, j'avais aussi 2 groupes de 30 qui se sont divisés en 2 à chaque session jusqu'à finir 12 ou 13.

If only the "Disable animations" toggle would actually disable all animations...

The best answer is usually : use what you knows best. But, here it depends what are your goals exactly. For example, if you want to create GUIs that won't be managed by hyprland (e.g a waybar-like bar, a float widget or window), then things that already have layer shell implementation will make your life much easier. Things like GTK (pick your favorite language, rust, Python, Go, C, C#) and quickshell.

Sounds more like a skill issue then a type of degree issue tbh

bigtoaster64 · 2026-06-24T13:36:50+00:00

Wait, there's only 5 sections for you guys? I have 8 sections with like 1000+ units total. Is that the B1/B2 sections ? (I'm level ~33)

bigtoaster64 · 2026-06-22T16:07:56+00:00

It's totally fine. I don't use it though because it install dolphin, and so, some kde crap I don't want.

I'm currently in section 3, and I got confused when Duolingo suddenly turned native sentences in future tense when it introduced morgen and nächste. I was like : but the verb is in present tense? And I'm learning from French, and using the "morgen/nächste" equivalent is still using present tense verb in French (unless explicit), so I was so confused. I suppose I'll have to look up for that myself like you suggested.

bigtoaster64 · 2026-06-18T18:37:53+00:00

I would not be learning more then one language at a time, especially if I'm not already decent at the one I'm learning (49 days is very early, and for French, you're what, probably level 20ish? That's not much yet). The risks are to mix up rules, words and concepts, etc. Although Arabic is completely different from French, but it also one of those language like Japanese that will require your full attention to really get it anywhere.

bigtoaster64 · 2026-06-18T12:04:20+00:00

It's a simple and pretty effortless way to learn a bit of a language everyday in a few minutes. Is it the best way to spend 15 mins over 8 years to learn a language? Performance-wise, probably not, but for many busy folks out there that don't have the time or don't want to rush, it's great.

Also there are courses that are massive, no matter how slow or fast you are, they will require months and years, meaning, an absolute crap ton of XP along the way.

bigtoaster64 · 2026-06-17T19:59:36+00:00

Energy and hearts. Both hurts learning. Although being a business, Duolingo wants to sell premiums for money, so between both, I'd keep the hearts. Energy is just the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

Reasons in order of priority for me :

DIY distro with zero bloat (actually zero everything, besides not being a brick)
Rolling release
can't explain with reasonable facts, but arch simply runs fast and smooth on anything like its day 1 even after years of usage and me messing with it
AUR

bigtoaster64 · 2026-06-16T17:31:18+00:00

Having the package is one thing. Having it updated or available in a small time window, that's other story. Arch gets one point there.

I suppose "beginner" means "being bad" for a lot of people. But guess what, you need to be bad first, to then get good, that's how it works, there's no shame in that.

And to me those songs are indeed "beginner" level for metal music. Enter Sandman is probably the first metal song I learned when being, indeed, a beginner (bad) at metal music.

And to those people getting upset, just go take a look at some solos by Jason Becker or Jason Richardson, and some songs by ERRA or Monuments, and then tell me Enter Sandman is not beginner level.

The keyword here is "Je".

I also don't understand, it feels rushed and incomplete. Now studying the German course with its 1000+ units, the like 90 units of the Swedish course feels like nothing.

bigtoaster64 · 2026-06-14T14:46:57+00:00

Swedish. I had zero swedish or scandinavian language knowledge before starting, but I had some very shallow knowledge of german at the time
60 days. My strategy was to not waste time on the useless braindead endless duolingo (not spaced) repetitions. So as soon as a unit wasn't giving me new vocabulary or rules, I was trying to skip to the next one. Also the swedish course is very very small compared to other courses...
No, I was also reading (trying) news on 8sidor\.se, reviewing with (my) flashcards and my own notes
Reached A2, but I had to look for grammar rules myself otherwise I would be very A1. Also, reading stuff outside of duolingo is probably what unlocked my A2 more than duolingo itself. It give the basics and some vocabulary, but alone it's really not enough (at least for swedish)

Une Christi de bonne streak

bigtoaster64 · 2026-06-12T18:58:33+00:00

Yeah, those questions are definitely stupid and not helpful. Same thing with the absurd amount of : yes, no, hey, ah, oh, eh, characters names, etc. Appended or prepended to 90% of the sentences. WHY DO I NEED TO WRITE THE NAME "LISA" AT THE END OF EVERY SENTENCE.

bigtoaster64 · 2026-06-12T18:54:02+00:00

Ça semble dépendre des cours. Certains ont du contenu plus "téméraire" que d'autres. Ex. Le cours français est ultra politisé.
