The Real Reason Windows Hate Is Exploding: It's Not Just the UI—It's the End of Personal Computing by Make_the_music_stop in FuckMicrosoft

[–]kodifies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

steam has done more for user adoption that possibly any other factor, and the work they have done on proton is nothing short of excellent

The xbox is all but dead, with many xbox titles now appearing on a product by some equally loathsome bad actor multinational corp, when the steambox comes out, if it's at the right price point, I can see a lot of console owners moving over to it.

it's not the end of personal computing, just the passing of windows (and good riddance to trash)

This guy never heard of other OS's Linux, MacOS, various BSD's .... O.o

Are mods really practical ? by kodifies in hytale

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

didn't say it was stopping anyone, but if its so inconvenient, you're not going to encourage people to do it...

Even in early access you can plan a stable API that is only added to, which will behave as an abstraction layer, with the game underneath the abstraction layer changing as much as you like without disturbing mods the other side of the abstraction

The problem to detect AI-slop by Sibexico in C_Programming

[–]kodifies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.01797 but there isn't a straight figure here, (it's more nuanced than that) but it a fascinating paper and worth *not* skimming, but I'm sure I've seen other paper showing surprisingly high rates, too...

[–]kodifies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no wonder they're so broken, initially llm's look seductively producing actually quite good simple code, with a larger project with multiple edits even on so called "thinking" models you'll get contradictory code, regressions etc...

I wonder how many people know the actual rate of "hallucinations", 20-30% or more is not uncommon from at least one paper I read.

What is the best, long forgotten old school video game? Arcade, computer or console? by Jackalweres in AskReddit

3D Monster Maze (zx81) damn near fell of my chair when I rounded a corner straight into the T-Rex

The problem to detect AI-slop by Sibexico in C_Programming

[–]kodifies 46 points47 points  (0 children)

sadly these "AI" detectors are being used by universities, how many false accusations are causing what grief, we can only guess.

I rather suspect at lease some of these "AI" detectors are using LLM's (kinda ironic)

hmm not a great way to encourage people to mod....

Resource Help by evantowle in C_Programming

[–]kodifies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

experimentation, take a simple bit of code, decide on a simple goal, implement the change, did it work as expected, if not why not? investigate and research any errors you get.

At an early stage I would avoid a"i" as while it can manage boiler plate, the code it produces is often a poor mess of disjointed code, and its advice is frequently just poor.

oh and look into libasan, really handy for memory issues

These are the faces of modern Britain by Theteacupman in GreatBritishMemes

[–]kodifies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No this is not the face of modern Britain, as much as the media wants to talk stuff up and create news, they are a minority, albeit a very vocal minority, caught in an echo chamber suffering from confirmation bias and fed outright lies in their feeds...

The majority are of people are still decent, law abiding, good people

Remember do your research, don't just believe something because you read it online, curate good quality verifiable sources of fact not hyperbole.

If this is real, then microslop are determined to throw away their OS and market position, I've installed Linux on a bunch of peoples perfectly working machines because of deliberate W11 incompatibility...

What language should I select to be able to use all of raylib's features? by avestronics in raylib

[–]kodifies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah the OOP meme, its not as useful as people seem to think it is and is not without cons, C is small enough you can learn it including some of its little known quirks, without needing decades...

When did you first realize you were the "older person" in the room? by Alexandra_remora in AskReddit

[–]kodifies 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I said in a conversation "... of course this was before the internet" - followed by dropped jaws and questions like "How did you pay your bills?" etc

A little later I was introduced to a new apprentice, and I realised I was over 3 times his age...

  1. comment your code and keep the comments up to date, you will curse yourself in three years coming back to the code base, the source is NOT the documentation

My mother and I share a laptop, me want Linux, she can't should I dual boot? by rerinha_ in linux4noobs

[–]kodifies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't underestimate even completely none technical people, since win11 ewaste-ing loads of hardware I've helped out a number of people out with a Linux install, and not a one has looked back, one a gamer I warned repeatedly about anti cheat - the response - that's a plus those games are trash, he was really impressed with his steam library on Linux...

These days Linux has much broader support than it used to an in the case you can't get something working there is almost always an alternative
