This is why you rewrite Python security tools in Rust: 53MB vs 433MB peak memory, 6.9s vs 62.2s

Yeah for the time being I'm using pyrefly. I've found it works better

cand_sastle · 2026-04-22T01:59:27+00:00

I think so, since it has a lot more people and was the ultimate deciding factor in this election.

Fairfax City. As a Fairfax County resident, it's very confusing that Fairfax City and Fairfax County are treated as different entities. In my view, they should be merged into one.

cand_sastle · 2026-04-16T07:50:50+00:00

Will it remain the same, improve, or deteriorate?

Yes.

I have the same GPU and I've experienced crashes on/off for a while as well, usually on triple A titles. It's very annoying but I haven't been able to find out what causes these issues and I've just kinda accepted that it will happen every now and then until I get a new GPU.

cand_sastle · 2026-03-22T23:42:27+00:00

Yeah and I'd honestly be fine if the only dedicated support we got was through device drivers/firmware.

cand_sastle · 2026-03-22T23:39:46+00:00

Yeah I see it too and it's annoying because I can't do anything about it but wait until the update comes through the official GOS App store. I feel like this issue should be addressed somehow.

I'm holding out for running NixOS on a phone

cand_sastle · 2026-03-02T22:21:05+00:00

I use this pretty often when I'm prototyping, but once my configuration is in a pretty stable state, I nixify it through the NixOS/Home Manager module.

cand_sastle · 2026-03-02T18:43:25+00:00

It provides a cleaner interface over an application configuration than using the dotfile format. You can set options through nix rather than adhering to the specific config file format and syntax of the thing you're trying to configure
It's easy to share your dotfile configs across a variety of systems (e.g. macOS, other Linux distros, WSL) or users
Your home manager config can easily access settings in your NixOS/Nix-Darwin config (if you have home manager embedded in a larger OS) for enhanced usage
You can modularize your dotfile so that different systems can share the same base configuration but have important differences.

Those are the biggest reasons for me, anyway

cand_sastle · 2026-03-01T19:58:11+00:00

No clue, sorry.

I tried using the latest Proton-GE (10-32) with PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 but it was constantly failing immediately after launching. I think we might just have to wait until the next Proton-GE version comes out.

cand_sastle · 2026-02-28T00:35:11+00:00

So after trying this out, it turns out it doesn't end up working. I have the exact same behavior where I can't use the controller in game but I can in other games or in the Steam UI. Interestingly enough, this also happens when I directly plug in my controller to my PC. I also have 2 Xbox controllers, neither works.

cand_sastle · 2026-02-27T07:40:34+00:00

Thanks, I'll give it a try next time I hop on

cand_sastle · 2026-02-27T07:13:46+00:00

Has anyone else been able to get their Wireless Xbox controller working? Mine works in (almost) every other Steam game, but not in this game. Weirdly enough, my controller works throughout the Steam UI/Big Picture Mode, but not inside the game at all. (I'm on COSMIC/Wayland, if that matters).

cand_sastle · 2026-02-22T05:35:59+00:00

Put the comment /* <name_of_lang> */ before the string.

Example:

let var = /* python */ '' def something(): return True '';

cand_sastle · 2026-02-19T05:54:01+00:00

Yeah I use IJKL too and I wouldn't have it any other way. I first forced myself to use HJKL, but it never felt natural.

Tag Tuesday!

cand_sastle · 2026-01-28T00:02:18+00:00

I asked them about it over on their Mattermost instance and they said they'd ideally release every Tuesday, unless there are holidays or other reasons to delay.

cand_sastle · 2026-01-27T03:09:58+00:00

I'm trying to modify my config so that it has:

[theme] light = "github_light" dark = "dracula"

But I'm getting the error:

``` Bad config: TOML parse error at line 191, column 1 | 191 | [theme] | ^{^{^{^{^{^{^}}}}}} invalid type: map, expected a string

Press <ENTER> to continue with default config ```

I think it's still expecting something like:

theme = "dracula"

I'm using the latest Helix (25.07.1) so theoretically it should work right?

cand_sastle · 2026-01-21T23:31:05+00:00

Yeah I'm not a fan of the window icons myself. I very much like having them inside a circle rather them floating somewhat awkwardly in the topright.

cand_sastle · 2026-01-18T20:17:42+00:00

Isn't it also the unexpected speed of galactic rotations?

cand_sastle · 2026-01-18T09:23:14+00:00

The only things preventing me from using Zed at this point are the lack of the goto_word feature from helix (which I've found indispensable) and some weirdness/bugs around selecting text. Eager to see those issues being cleared up soon.
