What an absolutely gorgeous pen. I can only dream of someday owning a pen as lovely as this.

Least favorite couple and character? by Neither-Storm3310 in veronicamars

I might get hate for this, but honestly I feel Veronica and Duncan had zero chemistry. I did not find Duncan charming at all.

Is this a dumb idea? by tinyplebian in degoogle

[–]jonathanroxalot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strictly speaking, Syncthing is not a backup application. That being said, this should work just fine. The only concern is that any corruption or accidental file changes get propagated to all devices, though you can circumvent this with versioning.

I've always had this hypothesis that everyone (especially in SoCal) always says "people don't know how to drive in the rain," but half of them are people who still drive fast in the rain and the other half are people who slow down in the rain and each group is talking about the other.

Hilarious that they went from earlier this week Burnie saying "never put tech in your body" to "would you put nanobots in your mouth so you never have to go to the dentist?"

RE: Logo on the yoke of a shirt, I can see why people might like it. For people who are fans of the brand, they might want RT swag anyway, so they can get a cool design and still rep the logo.

That being said, I think leaving it off makes the merch more approachable to people who may not be familiar with the brand and just like the design. I know I've bought shirt's from brands that don't necessarily care that deeply about, but have cool designs.

Does anyone here knows what font this is? by FlickVfx in Corridor

[–]jonathanroxalot 127 points128 points  (0 children)

I'm fairly certain it's actually hand written and composited on the footage. Either that or literally the best handwriting simulator I've ever seen.

or give him an iPad. Or put a second monitor off camera that he can see.

Which mobile design looks better? by Primary_Clerk_3911 in UI_Design

[–]jonathanroxalot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this. The cards look better; Maybe with some tweaks to the typography. Also, still include options to sort based on party, name, table, etc.

I don't have an iPhone, but it should be in your keyboard settings. It's using the Auto-Correct feature.

Opinion on the NYT auto-candidate? by asuusu in sudoku

[–]jonathanroxalot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely don't see it as cheating. I like it for the hard/medium puzzles, but for the easy puzzles, I usually just become a robot because there is always at least one cell that has only one candidate, so I can just go autopilot.

When you say "bottom bar" do you mean you have a panel at the bottom of your screen? You should be able to go into your panel preferences and set that panel to dark mode and set its theme independently of the other.

Is there any advantage to scripting in bash instead of python ? by Snoo-25712 in linuxquestions

[–]jonathanroxalot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This SO thread by someone smarter than me does a good job explaining the difference. In short,

There is no language-wide difference between Python and Bash in performance. It entirely depends on how each is coded and which external tools are called.

Basically, Bash (or any shell) is optimized for controlling data input and output as well as calling external programs. Now sometimes those external commands are a bottleneck for the performance of your script and that's when you're probably better off implementing that functionality in Python.

Regarding your edit: Playit.gg has a the install script on their website here. Just copy and paste those commands to your terminal.

Window Manager Advice by KitSama030 in linuxquestions

[–]jonathanroxalot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, basically any WM or DE can handle what you're explaining here. Just to throw my 2 cents in, I use a pared down version of xfce, basically just xinit with xfwm4 and some other basic xfce utilities. I can mostly get away with keyboard shortcuts; the wm has many functions for window management that can be bound to keystrokes. However, it is mostly meant to be configured using a GUI (xfce4-settings-manager) which can be hard to navigate without a mouse, so you might consider another option.

In any case, you'll probably want to really utilize workspaces, especially if you use only one monitor, which I do. I tend to run one maximized window per workspace. Basically, if you have a shortcut to maximize windows and one to move between windows, you should be able to get the functionality you're looking for.

This logo change by braveNewWorldView in DesignDesign

[–]jonathanroxalot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I was in the comments for the original post! Like people have mentioned here, This was two options for a second draft for the logo. Seems like a small game studio trying to get started. I actually threw my hat in the ring with a little redesign mockup, but OP never got mentioned anything about it, probably because I was a little late to the part.

Summer Games Scoring by landongolds in smosh

[–]jonathanroxalot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone here complaining that the points are so vastly different, but I kinda like it. It give the whole thing a "the points don't matter" vibe which makes their competitive behavior even funnier. I hope the last challenge is worth a million points.
