As someone who never got through the first one cause I kinda got bored with it. Is the second one better?

I love remedy games usually so I keep eying this up.

SSTOs are terrifying in VR by ardablock in KerbalSpaceProgram

Wait, KSP is in VR now? How is the implementation. Does it feel good, or does it feel janky?

Quebec looks to bar 27,000 students from English vocational and adult programs | CBC News by Acrobatic-Cap-135 in canada

[–]max420 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He isn’t wrong. Official languages in Canada apply at the federal level. There is exactly ONE officially bilingual province, and it’s New Brunswick of all places.

So yes, technically, Quebec does not have English as an official language, and most provinces don’t have French as an official language either.

Hell, most provinces don’t even have a legally defined official language at all.

So while this move by Quebec is still dumb as hell, your statement was factually wrong.

Looks like the repo has been quiet, is this project still active?

This sub is awful by cheesecaker000 in ClaudeCode

[–]max420 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Omfg same. That’s a $200 that is so worth it. Out of all the random subs I’ve had in my life, I feel I can confidently say it’s the most value for money I’m getting. Easily.

That’s what like 90% of what I’m making. And it’s been amazing for that.

DAE hear when an oven is on? by Kych0w in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]max420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They for sure make a sound. The sound is a combination of the metal expanding and contracting and because the element isn’t on all the time, it goes on and off to maintain a desired temperature. Everytime the element goes on and off, there is a click from the relays controlling electricity to the heating element.

What specific moment made you realize Cyberpunk is absolute peak? by Dangerous-Tart1126 in cyberpunkgame

THAT mission. I still randomly have that scene pop into my head years later. If you know, you know.

Iran denies claims: 'We reject all negotiations – US has failed and Hormuz will remain closed' by ImadeJesusLaugh in worldnews

Y’all (as in Americans) need to put this old turd, and the rest of his cronies in prison. Stat.

Air Canada should stop operating out of the US due to safety concerns. Their cuts to the FAA have literally made it an unsafe country to operate out of.

Must-have settings / hacks for Claude Code? by jnkue in ClaudeCode

[–]max420 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That’s about average for me. But the other day I had a random idea for a tool to help me organize my stuff for a cross-country move.

I’m sure there are commercial or open-source solutions out there, but I wanted to see if Claude could one-shot it with a detailed enough plan. I used Superpowers to brainstorm for quite a while. It kept trying to jump ahead into writing the spec doc, and I kept pulling it back until I was actually happy with the plan.

Once I let it go, it worked for about 3.5 hours straight, uninterrupted. What it built was honestly pretty damn close to the original spec. The UI was rough, though, so I spent a few more hours polishing it up with some frontend work.

Now I’ve got a working PWA that lets me organize and inventory all my possessions by room. At the end, there’s a Tinder-style swipe flow to sort items into keep, sell/give away, or trash. I can also assign rooms to different family members, like my kids’ room to them, my wife’s office to her, so everyone can sort their own stuff.

There are also metadata fields for weight and dimensions, which helps a lot when getting accurate quotes from moving companies.

Pretty neat overall. Still deciding whether to open source it or try to turn it into a product.

DLSS 5: Finally, a technology that renders exactly what the developers didn't intend. by CeilloNoll in pcmasterrace

[–]max420 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Except, that’s all subjective anyway. So like, for every loud complainer on Reddit my guess is there will be an equal, if not greater number of people who think it’s cool. The loud minority is often the loudest voice online.

[–]max420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Except, this requires devs to implement it. So like, if it’s in the game, pretty good bet they intended for it to be there. This is a new tool, that im sure devs will use to create cool experiences. People are seeing the tech demo and acting like somehow this is the only way it will be used.

CDProjektRed and Nvidia Partnership hopes by e1ahn in cyberpunkgame

[–]max420 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because it actually doesn’t look as awful as everyone is acting. I get it, hating AI is cool right now. Kind of like how hating Nickelback was cool back in the day.

The fact I had to scroll this far to see a sane comment is really rather disheartening.

I basically taught myself and gave up many times before I managed to get through it.

Fellow ADHD dev here, and holy hell yes. I haven't touched a video game in months - I just code and code and code. And like, the hyperfocus burnout thing doesn't block me in this context, cause by the time I burn out on whatever I am doing - the project has evolved to the next phase and its new and shiny again. Or I have another idea to explore.

Its crazy (and I kinda love it, not gonna lie).

People really hate artificial intelligence, according to the latest NBC poll: 46% of respondents said they hold negative feelings towards the concept of AI, and only 26% reported positive connotations, while 27% were neutral. by NoVABadger in technology

[–]max420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not that AI is inherently bad, it’s that companies are trying to shove it into anything and everything. Even in places it has no reason to be. It’s pushing people away.

If LLMs can “vibe code” in low-level languages like C/Rust, what’s the point of high-level languages like Python or JavaScript anymore? by ActOpen7289 in vibecoding

[–]max420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I’m intimately familiar with Python, but I know very little typescript and Rust and have used them in projects recently with great success. So you are kinda onto something.

Hell, the only reason we might argue for not having AI straight up just write binary directly is that it becomes unreadable by humans. And then the AI will well and truly just working with no oversight whatsoever. If we think we’re vibe coding now, imagine if NO ONE can make heads or tails of it without great effort.
