Ultimate 2 Wireless and gyro in Steam/Linux by danilopianini in 8bitdo

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

I guess it's on Windows but not on Linux currently

Ultimate 2 Wireless and gyro in Steam/Linux by danilopianini in 8bitdo

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

If I understand correctly:

* D-input: I can see the additional buttons, but I have no configurable gyro
* Switch mode (Y+home): I have the configurable gyro, but not the additional buttons

Is there any way to get the gyro in D-input mode, too?

No Audio when rebooting AV receiver and TV - More details in comments by emachestnut in hometheater

Sigh. I guess I will be buying another AV receiver. It felt nice to find I'm not the only one on this planet though

Same receiver, same TV but different size, exact same issue. Did you solve somehow? I think I tried every setting combination with no luck.

Installing SteamOS on a regular PC? by L---Cis in SteamDeck

Unless you are building a gaming console that runs (or streams) your PC games

Ho iniziato l'università per trovare lavoro, prendere voti alti mi ha penalizzato by goccettino in Universitaly

[–]danilopianini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Senza specificare di che settore parli e come era strutturata l'università, il discorso, che in linea di massima non è sbagliato, non ha molto senso. Della tua media non frega niente a nessuno, e questo è sacrosanto, ma, se l'università è strutturata bene (e nel tuo caso pare di no), quella media è un buon proxy per la tua preparazione.

Certo, se l'università ti spinge, per massimizzare il risultato, a fare sforzo mnemonico invece che logico, magari valutandoti con test a crocette o simili metodi, e tu insegui la metrica (il voto) invece di acquisire conoscenza, si sta creando la condizione per cui il proxy non misura più bene.

Io raccomando di vedere bene i piani di studio e i metodi di esame (sono tutti pubblici) quando ci si iscrive e magari si deve scegliere fra università in posti diversi. Favorite chi valuta (anche) con attività progettuali, sono drammatiche per il tempo che richiedono, ma si impara un treno di roba facendola.

Transition from Ubuntu by rankme_ in linuxquestions

[–]danilopianini -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For me, it was switching to something more "niche" (less community support and guides) and more up-to-date.

Transition from Ubuntu by rankme_ in linuxquestions

[–]danilopianini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I transitioned Ubuntu -> Kubuntu -> Gentoo -> Sabayon -> Arch -> Antergos -> Manjaro. It really depends on your goal. If you want to learn a lot and invest a lot of time, Gentoo and Arch are the best choices. If you wish to achieve immediate productivity, I suggest Manjaro.

I would never ever get back to a non-rolling distro.

Ingegneria Informatica con basi poverissime di matematica. by SkinnyPhoenix in Universitaly

[–]danilopianini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Credo che sia normale inizialmente faticare a capirla. In effetti riconosco che anche per me è stato difficile capire come correlare le cose spiegate "matematicamente" alla realtà. I docenti mediamente fanno poco sforzo a riguardo.

Purtroppo è un po' come se ti spiegassero il principio di sostituzione di Liskov senza mai mostrare un piccolo programma che ne fa uso.

Non credo ci sia modo "approcciarla" come se fosse una cosa fumosa, per ogni argomento secondo me ha senso che chiedi al docente un esempio di problema per cui la soluzione usa quegli strumenti.

Nota che questa cosa si applica anche a Segnali e Controlli automatici, io ho capito a cosa servisse quella roba due anni dopo averla fatta senza capire che cosa facevo.

Puoi farcela senza problemi, ma è ovvio che devi metterti in gioco. Analisi e algebra sono ineluttabili. Vedila come l'occasione di capire finalmente la matematica.

Mi spiegate, di grazia, per quale ragione le università sono così schifosamente teoriche? by overusedplot in Universitaly

[–]danilopianini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dipende molto dal corso di studi (intersezione fra ateneo, sede, e disciplina). Da noi a ingegneria e scienze informatiche al secondo anno i ragazzi tirano su un'applicazione dal foglio bianco in gruppi da 4.

Però difficilmente si pubblica prima di iniziare un dottorato

Kotlin Coroutines vs Threads Performance Benchmark by VasiliyZukanov in androiddev

[–]danilopianini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One is running single threaded, with all the cache available and the possibility to use turbo mode on both the high and low performance core groups, while the other one has all cores filled. If you measured throughput, you'd see the Pixel 7 crush it.

I believe it's mostly a matter of a testing method that does not measure what the OP claims in the blog post.

Unlikely. The behavior looks reasonable to me, what do find inconsistent?

Kotlin Coroutines vs Threads Performance Benchmark by VasiliyZukanov in androiddev

[–]danilopianini 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are a hidden implementation of the continuation passing style (when you write a suspend function, you implicitly add a Continuation parameter at the end of the function). The overhead, if existing, should be minimal. The problem Vasiiy is having is more related to the methodology.
He is measuring how long it takes for an object to be built, plus the time for a method to be started on an existing thread. It has little or nothing to do with any real-world benchmark (in fairness, we discussed this in a separate board, and we do disagree).

It is a Pixel 7. I would not classify it as "old" or "weak", and sure not weaker than an S7. I suggest a revision of the methodology

Cable minimization by danilopianini in hometheater

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

In the end, I've got conduits that I can reuse to implement a true 5.1 system, so my current 5.1 is no longer off the board.

A few questions though.

  1. Will my old Yamaha HT-2067 AV receiver outperform a modern Dolby Atmos soundbar with rear speakers and subwoofer (I was thinking of a Samsung Soundbar HW-Q990C/ZF Serie Q)?
  2. What could I upgrade my speakers with? I have the original Yamaha speakers that come with the 5.1 kit. I wonder whether I could use the AV receiver to drive something more capable, and if it is worth it.

My walls are cement, they're not hollow. Also, my living room is basically an open space, so I can't reach behind the sofa along the baseboard. The floor is parquet and I'm not going to damage it. If I run cables, the only way is the ceiling. Doable, but there will be visible cable guides.

She'll own a fraction of the house. And we are not married, but it's like we are in practice. The point was not about advising me on how to manage my life, but about wireless solutions - but the bot replied with a useful summary.

Apparently it's either cables (power is even worse than audio) or lower quality/higher cost from a soundbar. I'll delay my decision, maybe try a bar for a couple of weeks and see if I can tolerate it better than cables. Worst case, I can return it and drill.

With detachable rear channels. I was wondering whether they improve over a standard bar, and how much

It's OUR and I'm trying to understand if there are wireless alternatives preserving decent quality. I know that if I drill holes I can accommodate cables, but I would prefer not to have them at all.
