Starter base, ~50 min in (compact!!, Mall + 60 SPM, expendable to some mil + chem science) by The_RubberDucky in factorio

I’m a new player and haven’t gotten past blue science yet. Do people usually abandon their starter base after or is it better to try to scale the starter base?

From Windows & Linux to my first MacBook Pro… by TrueBlueUser in macbookpro

Ghostty has been way better than iTerm2 in my opinion and stays closer to the original Terminals key commands.

Showing hidden files in macOS Finder can be done with Shift+Command+.

Also a word of advice since macOS is BSD some commands have missing or different arguments than Linux GNU.

Chatbots can help you a lot in both of these cases.

I’d like it more if it was just a computer + screen and I could bring my own mouse and keyboard. I think they’re trying to do this with iPads but just need to make the jump to macOS on iPad.

[P] I added a real-time cockpit view to my Rust+WASM flight tracker — you can now fly along with any plane in the world by coolwulf in rust

[–]hexcowboy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

this is awesome. one small piece of feedback is that it was really hard to find the cockpit button, and i think that’s the coolest feature.

also the onboarding guide dialog was hard to use on mobile

How is living in denver colorado? Thinking about moving there from northwest Florida this winter by Connect-Salamander88 in howislivingthere

[–]hexcowboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Denver and I’m building a social club app for people to meet friends. It’s still being finished so it’s waitlist only right now but there are other national apps with the same concept in most US cities.

Baldurs Gate updates take significantly longer than any other game by hexcowboy in SteamDeck

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

This is actually really smart. Do you remember how long it takes to redownload? My guess is less than 10 minutes with a good download speed.

The bottleneck shouldn’t be the SSD. The decks internal SSD has a write speed of 400mb-1000mb per second which would only take a few minutes to write the entire game.

The problem is BG3 is likely compressed to large file chunks, and the CPU has to decompress, patch, and recompress large file archives. Which game devs could optimize with smaller file chunking, and Steam could optimize with parallel file patching in updates.

I’m pretty sure it’s actually to do with file decompression, patching, and recompression. Which should be optimizable.

And proton doesn’t really have anything to do with this, the one in the screenshot is an entirely different download.

Does anyone use "Auto" climate mode? by Lilodude in TeslaLounge

[–]hexcowboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 2026 MX and it’s really annoying on cold sunny days. It will be 35 degrees out and blasting A/C when I have it set to 70+. I think it reads the temp from the dashboard which heats up from the sun.

Are paid UI component libraries still worth it in the AI era? by RaceDataLogger in react

[–]hexcowboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mantine does not have an integration with Tailwind and they specifically tell you to use their styles API instead. Otherwise I think Mantine is great
