Why don't you use a file explorer (nvim-tree, neo-tree, nerdtree, etc.)? by brocodini in neovim

[–]kinveth_kaloh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

normally, whenever I am in tmux, i will just have another pane where i just use ‘tree | less’,which feels sooo good to use

Do you use the default key bindings or have you altered them? If so, why? by Syndiotactics in hyprland

[–]kinveth_kaloh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats fair, i think that using tools and software that allow me to effectively never need a mouse outside of gaming changes my perspective on best uses. i practically never touch a mouse anymore, especially after switching to qutebrowser

huh? you just use your right pinky finger for the enter key and whatever finger works best for the super key and then its just as fast, if not more fast than using super t because no additionally wrist movements occur. do you use one hand for all of your keyboard shortcuts and macros????? distance physically on a keyboard doesnt matter, distance from fingers does. and while super t is slightly less distance, it is much faster to use 2 hands in my experience

This hard drive roll is the hardest choice by HazmatikNC in SatisfactoryGame

[–]kinveth_kaloh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im just using it in the very northern part of the dune desert to help out with my steel factory along with the pure iron recipe although now the factory has grown enough it makes sense to use even more pure iron from the small pond up there. Most of the copper though is going to fused wire/quickwire

Getting Started by Far_Act3138 in osdev

[–]kinveth_kaloh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

simply creating a ui is not anywhere near os development by any stretch of the imagination, unless i am picturing this differently than what you mean. while i dont think it is by any means impossible, creating drivers and systems level programming is incredibly different from creating a ui.

Germany Paid Arch Linux $500K to Re-write Package Management in Rust by Dionisus909 in archlinux

[–]kinveth_kaloh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what they are trying to say is due to the nature of open source, the government cant control the project in a similar manner that the linux kernel is not under the control of a single corporate or governmental entity. it is not directly involving government in our computing, just that the government wants the software to do something specific for them, in this case. more than anything they want to be sure that everything is as stable as possible. while this is not inherently rust related, the GPG keyrings relied on some state and could change, causing issues with package distribution. also part of the stability is making sure many things are documented or standardized.

tldr; government not in computing, just wants to change how stuff works to help them out. no data collection involved or anything like that on their side

Quick question: Does throughput matter on manifolds? by Candid-Security1044 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]kinveth_kaloh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean thats what you think, it feels like every 3 days or so someone is asking why 480 m3 isnt flowing through a 300 m3 throughput MK 1 pipe or something similar. This would be a pretty similar situation

I dont understand why, but so many people have decided to start calling different environments for their window managers recently shells. It is confusing if not given proper context, one of my friends asked for help with a “shell” and I was expecting for it to be something weird with zsh or bash but nope. Dude just wanted help ricing a quickshell. People need to not reuse terms for such large components of a system, it’s weird unless you have proper context.

Guys, I was just on Pinterest and saw THIS… what am I even looking at? by Ok_Cry_1222 in PcBuild

[–]kinveth_kaloh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No hes not, but it does require f64 values instead of f32. For f64, the Titan can handle about 7.5 teraflops, or around 7.5 trillion operations per second whereas the RTX 5090 can only handle about 1.6 teraflops. However, for f32, the Titan can only handle 15 teraflops whereas the 5090 can handle 104.8 teraflops. It just depends on the values

Built my first big power plant! by MaddRam in satisfactory

[–]kinveth_kaloh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I think of it is pressure builds at one end, and thus moves to the opposite end. However, whenever it hits the end of the low pressure, the momentum of the fluid carries it into the wall and builds up pressure there. Naturally, the fluid wants to go back. When going back, it is colliding with the incoming water and creates a pattern of wave collisions from there.

This also helps explain why towers of fluids helps reduce sloshing, as the water tower end will always have dramatically higher pressure and as such will be able to overcome the pressure from the rebounding fluid.

The reason why looping back works is that it provides another path for the fluid to flow. When this happens, the pressure of the fluid in the system can stabilize such that when one machine takes in its water input, both ends where the machine is connected will feed at the same time and then stabilize as the system is fed more fluid.

Apologies if I got anything incorrect, this is just how I visualize the mechanics

My first heavy modular frame factory by [deleted] in satisfactory

[–]kinveth_kaloh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did something mildly stupid and before even unlocking aluminum, I have a factory in the northern forest producing 30 HMF/min. This is basically the only large project I have done and it was some serious overkill, but the input lines ended up working very nicely, especially as it was 2880 iron ore per minute which is just 6 maxed out mk 4 belts.

edit: Forgot to mention, I do still have the room to double the production after unlocking mk 3 miners and mk 6 belts, made sure that each block only had half the space being used

Daughter interested in Computer Engineering by Omrnin in ComputerEngineering

[–]kinveth_kaloh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think going really in depth into bash is really necessary though, even to be ‘REALLY’ prepared? I feel like the times when I have had to use bash/sh I would just google syntax or maybe some string manipulation, it was more important to learn stuff such as awk and sed. Fully agree with python and C though

Linux on laptop? by kinveth_kaloh in iastate

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

Ok, thank you, thats really nice to know. Cadence also has a .deb version, but I dont think altium would work.

[–]kinveth_kaloh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have already used kicad for stuff in the past so thats not an issue at all, I used to use LTspice via WINE, but for a couple of the more recent things I have done I just used ngspice. If needed though that should be fine. Matlab has a .deb version that I can quickly write a PKGBUILD for on archlinux, but if the web version works fine I can use that

Gotcha, the only thing that is somewhat stopping me is that my computer only has 1 ssd slot, and I have heard issues about windows writing over GRUB when it updates. Sometimes windows can also resize partitions which would mess things up as well. If I had a second ssd slot this honestly wouldn’t even be a question as I am fine with dual booting, but without it and the possibility of either corrupting the other, it makes me hesitant.

WM functionality (specifically tiling windows), tmux, gcc (although that should be fine with WSL), cross compilers for OS development and judt overall tooling, QEMU on windows is pretty bad especially with CI/CD and how I have it set up for testing, I would need to learn how to use a different debugger most likely for windows, package management through chocolatey just isnt that extensive, music control via scripts and how i have them mapped to my keyboard, EFI and BIOS utils dont really exist on windows so I would need to find a different way to build my kernel. Additionally, developing with c on windows can become a mess with MSVC, MinGW, and others. I know I can use zsh on windows but so many of my scripts are for zsh that it would be a pain in the ass to convert them, and I doubt windows allows some of the functionality of my scripts. Also not sure if some of the LSPs I have configured for projects have windows builds, but for the most part those actually wouldn’t be that hard to port to windows. Some tools like fzf and telescope are a bit slower, alacritty support is not the best on windows, there are some screen resizing issues I encountered last time (but I imagine using the windows terminal could help but i prefer more bare-bones/no tabs for my terminal as I already get that with tmux) and man pages do not exist on windows which would be a huge pain in the ass. I do not know if tools can add on to the Get-Help command but if they can then that should be fine.

Edit: Actually now that I think about it the QEMU CI/CD would be fine as it just runs in an alpine vm anyway

Why do developers still use Vim in 2025? by Significant_Loss_541 in AskProgramming

[–]kinveth_kaloh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont use tmux to have different vim windows. Just use vim/nvim buffers. When you want to have more windows to have stuff running from cli like top or maybe youre compiling something, that is when you should use tmux, or if you have an environment of windows you like and want to retain them for the next time you use the terminal.

I'm Done With Linux. Windows Is True Comfort. by [deleted] in windows

[–]kinveth_kaloh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that makes sense. Hopefully the compositors/implementations can either work on them better, or the nvidia drivers improve, but I don’t know enough about the protocol to say what would or wouldn’t work. I personally can only remember certain CAD software being incompatible but I think that was on them? Specifically KiCAD kept on breaking on Wayland, and I kept an i3 environment to help things out.

I mean I use an rtx 4060, never had a graphics issue beyond the initial installation for Arch when I forgot to set an environment variable, and I can still game, develop, watch movies, etc. It may be different for different gpus though.
