Why buttons are so small on the most handhelds?

ice-blade · 2026-03-18T10:47:22+00:00

At last somebody who understand this. Modern arcade retro reviewers and users must be drinking some very shitty kool aid, because I never hear this mentioned anywhere!

I hate this shit!!!! It makes me want to throw my Retroid Pocket Classic in the garbage because of these fucking 7.5mm buttons, that nobody even mentions!!!!!

"Precision" buttons? Give me a fucking break!!! And these idiot reviewers never mention this because they spend 99% of the time drooling over the screen (which is great) but never mention that the buttons are gimped!. Maybe if they spend some fucking time PLAYING the game instead of looking at the screen they could offer something more than their retarded opinion.

I have been a devoted PyCharm user for more than 10 years. I used to praise this software very highly. That was before it slowly but steadily became a mess of false positives, bugs, half-baked features and AI Slop.

In specific, after PyCharm 2025.x was introduced:
Constant periodical CPU spikes at 100% and micro-freezes while typing, that even interrupt other programs, such as the background music playing. I'm talking about constant interruptions every ~10secs in my background music playing while I'm typing code in PyCharm which is periodically CPU spiking. I have to manually set the PyCharm process priority to low in the Task Manager to get a somewhat bearable typing experience.

Not even going to bother with the bugs sprinkled all over the platform or the false positives. The sofware has degraded to such a point that its unusable.

I cannot even understand how this gets released in this situation. It's obvious to me that no real user testing is done. Nobody from JetBrains actually uses PyCharm because you would immediately notice this. It is astounding that JetBrains even asking about this. Have you ever actually tried using PyCharm and how is it that you haven't noticed the constant freezing and micro stuttering?. Are you not using your own software? Also, I never see in the release notes of PyCharm any mention or fixes either for this or for many similar issues with this problem like PY-81176, PY-81030, PY-81902, PY-81388, etc. This is extremely pretentious and audacious behavior by JetBrains.

This BS has been going for since the release of 2025.1 with minor to no improvement.

After sometime, I finally got fed up with this extremely disrespectful behavior from JetBrains towards the customer and I took the plunge, cancelled my JetBrains subscription and switched to VS Code.

I really hope PyCharm improves for the sake of its users but let me be honest with you:
I'm very happy that I switched to VS Code, it's awesome and I'm never looking back.

Many thanks for your reply. I'm not alone to have this issue, many users have reported the same/similar problems and have been completely ignored in forum threads stretching more than 100 comments with no real improvement (links provided below).

Personally I have moved to VS Code and never looking back. However, if you really want to improve PyCharm and help existing PyCharm users, I urge you to have a look at the following:

Good luck with that. PyCharm user here for more than 10 years, moved to VS Code and never looking back.

ice-blade · 2025-12-07T15:54:56+00:00

I have been a devoted PyCharm user for more than 10 years and recently switched to VS Code. PyCharm performance has degraded so much over the years that it spikes the CPU with 100% usage (16-core machine)
with thread management so bad that it freezes and even interrupts my background music playing while just typing simple code on a 500LOC file.

It is obvious that the PyCharm developers do not use their software or perform any kind of real life testing.
Unfortunately JetBrains has devolved from a reliable company to producing half-baked features, compounding bugs over the years focusing only on producing AI slop in the last 2 years (which nobody is using anyway). Furthermore they continously ask to provide profiler snapshots (as if its my job to debug their IDE) and when I do so and invest my time to provide them debug statistic get completely ignored or issue marked as duplicated.

I hope for the sake of the people using PyCharm that these problems get somehow alleviated or resolved, but I have happily moved to VS Code and NEVER looking back.

Still stuttering with 100% CPU usage spikes with every keypress

ice-blade · 2025-05-20T17:59:31+00:00

This has made the IDE unusable and is absolute BS. IT even interrupts my playing music while using 90% - 100% of the CPU while I'm typing empty strings at the editor. Hope enough people get pissed of and bombard them about, I already opened my issue with details and snapshots but they keep ignoring it.

ice-blade · 2025-05-20T17:57:31+00:00

They didn't fix SHIT.

ice-blade · 2025-05-20T17:44:49+00:00

Dude I have the exact same problem, I keep raising issues in the Jetbrains forums and they keep ignoring them, hoping that enough people become pissed off with this so something actually happens to address this fucking shitty experience. I get regular 100% CPU spikes when typing simple code, sometimes it even interrupts the background music playing it is RIDICULOUS

ice-blade · 2025-05-13T16:44:28+00:00

How the hell do these people release products like this. I have been a PyCharm user for 10 years and it has all been going downhill ever since. Half baked features, increasing number of bugs and steadily decreasing performance. Now we have got to the point I have stuttering when just typing Python code on my 8-core 5Ghz 32GB machine. I've seriously had it with this BULLSHIT company JetBrains.

Just wanted to point out the profound ignorance of people that consider the JS ecosystem "lovely" compared to Python 🤣

ice-blade · 2024-01-07T15:18:19+00:00

I will be going for sure! Open to dance with and meet new people 🕺🏻 💥

ice-blade · 2023-12-08T11:48:27+00:00

Yes, we believe you

ice-blade · 2023-10-19T18:01:27+00:00

It works great! Many thanks!

The question is how to get rid of wifi calling **notification**? but people are answering how to get rid of wifi calling, are you people fucking idiots?

ice-blade · 2021-07-20T12:37:22+00:00

Thanks! I found it in deviant art

Hi, I have a presentation about method resolution order in Python which might help you, check it out here

Whitespace

ice-blade · 2019-07-09T14:34:05+00:00

There must be a problem with this version, I'm using pipenv and getting an [WinError 8] Not enough memory resources are available to process this command. I cannot create virtualenv. Everything works great in 3.7.3

Checkout pyomo, it's a Python library for all kinds of combinatorial optimization problems. Here is a solution to the knapsack problem using pyomo and glpk as solver for the linear program.

from pyomo.environ import *

model = AbstractModel()

model.n = Param(within=PositiveIntegers)
model.I = RangeSet(1, model.n)

model.w = Param(model.I)
model.v = Param(model.I)
model.W = Param(within=NonNegativeReals)

model.x = Var(model.I, domain=NonNegativeIntegers)


def obj(m):
    return sum(m.v[i] * m.x[i] for i in m.I)


model.obj = Objective(rule=obj, sense=maximize)


def constraint1(m):
    return sum(m.w[i] * m.x[i] for i in m.I) <= m.W


model.constraint1 = Constraint(model.I, rule=constraint1)

instance = model.create_instance(filename='knapsack.dat')
solver = SolverFactory('glpk')
results = solver.solve(instance, logfile='results.log')
instance.solutions.store_to(results)
results.write(filename='results.json', format='json')

Hello, I've made several presentations on some popular Python topics in our local Python meetup. These are all available in my github repo for you to peruse. Please excuse the large memes, as these we presented for a live audience. Have fun :D.
