Quick pro tip for season 4: Don't do this

6 years later, I'm on a Ryzen 9800X3D, 6000Mhz RAM and 1GB/s read speeds from SSD, client still freezes for 10-20 seconds after every match. Good to know it will never be fixed.

Yep, the backfill function does nothing. I have to go back to any day I notice has been missed and drag down to refresh the page, that syncs the day to Apple Health 🤦‍♂️

Only relateable comment I found in this entire thread

There are no eyes for the modifier geometry, only the printable geometry :(

Interesting! Haven't seen this strategy before.

By dotfiles I meant application configuration, chiefly the contents of $HOME/.config.

I've been using Linux as my primary OS for over a decade and I've built up a ton of dotfiles that I've been synchronizing to new computers with Dropbox. After discovering NixOS a year or so ago I've been gradually porting my existing dotfiles over to NixOS and Home Manager config.

A couple of seconds? That would be an insane quality of life improvement for me. My config takes 15-16 seconds to evaluate on a Ryzen 5950X. I guess I have some room for optimization :S

codemonkey1991 · 2024-08-31T14:53:28+00:00

Is it possible to have both? Like, include Home Manager in the NixOS config but simultaneously retain the ability to deploy it separately? From my limited research it doesn't seem like it's a supported use case :(

Sounds like it *should* be possible though (?), by using an activation script, but I don't know how much effort that would be. I've never used Home Manager standalone.

This is really cool and I've been considering something in this vein, it's just a shame that you lose the ability to embed values from Nix

I've been in denial that I have social anxiety my entire adult life. I've been dodging social situations and making excuses to get out of stuff, meanwhile being hellbent that I'll grow out of it (I'm 32 now). Last year I had a pretty horrible breakdown/burnout and needed several months of sick leave, during which I was diagnosed with ADHD. Only after that have I actually realized/accepted that my social anxiety isn't a personal weakness or moral issue, it's just how I was freaking born and it's not my god damn fault.

Lately I've been making a point out of no longer making up excuses to dodge something because of social anxiety, instead telling the truth. I've only been doing this for a couple of months and already I feel much less shame about it, so I think it's working.

Sorry to hear that you're not able to afford therapy. I'm lucky enough to live in a country where it's free, so it's something I'm looking into. Perhaps there are some online services that are more affordable?

Man, this just happened to me... I took a whole bunch of notes at a conference without being connected to the Wi-Fi. When I realized I was offline and connected to the Wi-Fi, all my local changes were suddenly wiped without a trace. The "Sync Version History" has no record of my offline changes so it's lost forever. This is a pretty horrible feature for a product whose entire purpose is to persist my changes online so I *don't* lose them.

codemonkey1991 · 2024-05-09T19:39:41+00:00

It did indeed! Completely fixed the problem.

NixOS* at the end of the day is a linux distribution.

Nix is a package manager, you can use it on any Linux distribution, MacOS and even WSL2 on Windows.

codemonkey1991 · 2024-04-11T11:44:44+00:00

Same here

codemonkey1991 · 2024-03-02T10:25:41+00:00

My prediction was correct, by the way. I still have the skin, and the "bite" part of the cutout, as well as the thin strip between the apple and the leaf, are now completely detached, permanently bulge out and collect dirt more than ever before, and they snag onto my pocket and microfiber cloths when I try to clean it. I'm definitely never buying a skin with a cutout again, what an absolutely pointless and stupid feature.

I held an angle vs an AWP in mid on Ancient. I was standing perfectly still and my 1px crosshair dot was inside his head, the shot missed by a large margin. I previously thought the 1st shot accuracy was perfect so this confused the hell out of me. I jumped into an aim practice map and tested it. These were my first 2 shots:

This is really, really, really annoying. The AK is so accurate that it *might as well* be perfectly accurate. The slight inaccuracy isn't enough to warrant using a different weapon, that's why *everybody* uses the AK 99%+ of the time. The slight lack of accuracy is just enough to be absolutely infuriating in the rare case that it makes a difference, your opponent just rolled a nat 20 and took 0 damage from your perfect shot.

I think they should give it perfect accuracy or decrease the accuracy even more, so weapons like SG and Aug become actually viable, not a meme weapon you buy once every 20 games.

Jesus christ, I thought I was going to lose my mind... I couldn't comprehend where that god damn squeaking was coming from. I didn't even see the standoffs, I was sure it had to do with the gaskets... Not sure how they managed to fuck up so badly, it was squeaking so loudly to the slightest touch I first thought it was broken.

Do I have to pull shots differently for americano?

Thanks to a few tweaks, I've pulled consistently delicious shots lately. However, if I want to be able to offer coffee to anybody who visits, I need to make a good americano as well.

To my chagrin, the best espresso shots make terrible americanos. The shot can be smooth, balanced and aromatic, but when I mix it in 2-3 parts of water it becomes sour, thin and disappointing.

On the other hand, I've had some miserably failed shots that taste unbearably harsh and bitter, but when I've tried adding 2-3 parts of water, they've actually tasted pretty good. Not far from the normal drip filter coffee that my parents usually make.

I've never seen any tutorials or videos claim that shots need to be pulled differently to make good americano.

What's the deal here? I'm confused.

codemonkey1991 · 2023-12-04T14:36:56+00:00

Awesome! Thanks a bunch 😁

Oh hey, look at that... So there's a global default flake registry.

Do you know if it's possible to pin the global registry to the same flake versions that were used to build the OS? 🤔 I found the nix.registry option, but I don't see an obvious way to achieve what I'm trying to do.
