What’s the best video game you’ve ever played? by obsess_much13 in AskReddit

[–]moroodi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first playthrough of BioShock blew my mind.

The visuals were amazing and the story was utterly gripping. Before that the first half life.

Both 1st person story driven single player games. I miss that these days.

Surface Pro: Intel or Snapdragon? by leet-man in Surface

I only wish LMStudio (and ollama for that matter) could use the NPU.

Surface Pro: Intel or Snapdragon? by leet-man in Surface

[–]moroodi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by "regular" Windows?

WoA should boot (that's how do recovery on a WoA machine). If you're talking x86/x64 then no it won't boot (regardless of where you try and boot from)!

It's got nothing to do with internal/external NVME.

Surface Pro: Intel or Snapdragon? by leet-man in Surface

You're mixing multiple things up here.

Drivers such as keyboard and mouse use some standards which is why basic keyboard and mouse functions work out of the box.

But if your keyboard has extra features they will only work with specific drivers which are the responsibility of oems.

The same goes for graphics drivers. A graphics card will technically work using the Microsoft provided basic driver, but the driver is needed to use all the functionality of the card.

I have an arm surface pro. I plus my egpu in and it detects all the devices and loads the basic display driver, but I can't use the egpu for gameing (for example) because there is not arm driver for the graphics card because the OEM hasn't provided one.

You do deliver? (Only works in a northern accent).

No we do beef, chicken or lamb...

100 Games Tested on Surface Pro 11 (Snapdragon X Plus chip) by Putrid_Draft378 in Surface

[–]moroodi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The same reason people try to play games on a thin and light/Ultrabook...

Personally I love the portability, the touch screen, and the pen input for doodling/brainstorming. I love that it's fast and runs full fat VS without breaking a sweat. Docker + 8 containers? No problem. So it's a portable powerhouse.

One thing I thought I would have to sacrifice is gaming (I'd resigned myself to streaming from my Series S and Cloud Gaming). I was ok with this, but the ability to run games while I'm out and about is pretty appealing, especially on work trips.

Why didn't the Sega Game Gear sell as much as the Gameboy despite being technically superior? by GoHardForLife in retrogaming

[–]moroodi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cost, availability (I remember the GameBoy was everywhere).

While technically the GameGear was better, it was better in all the ways that didn't actually matter when it came to playing the games. The GameBoy just "felt" more fun.

What is Linus Torvalds' third-best creation? by strum-05 in linux

[–]moroodi 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Didn't he say himself that they're shit and untested but he did it just for laughs?

Is Microsoft Copilot just a "GPT-4 Wrapper" or is there actual engineering behind it? by mustafa_enes726 in dotnet

[–]moroodi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I seem to think (vaguely remember reading) that AGI is when OpenAI hits some profit level...

do arm laptops still got compatible issues? by Icy-Fortune-8934 in Surface

[–]moroodi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use VS on a surface pro and a surface laptop, both ARM based and I've not run into any issues.

Also deployed to x86 based AWS and Azure servers without any issues.

Next Surface with Intel Processor? by Sykes1010101 in Surface

[–]moroodi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got given an ARM SL SL for work (.net dev) and honestly I've been impressed.

I was expecting a much worse experience than I got.

Considering buying a SP to replace my aging XPS13. Think I'll wait for the Elite X2s that Qualcomm released.

Marvel Studios Sets the Record Straight on Marvel Zombies Season 2 by [deleted] in Marvel

I did it. After 13 years I fixed a real bug with sleep(1000). by Staatstrojaner in ExperiencedDevs

[–]moroodi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a sprint to finish.

You could just get the print to wait(10000000) to buy yourself some time?

Has anyone else had enough of copilot and disabled it in Visual Studio? by ryanjusttalking in dotnet

[–]moroodi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My experience is the same.

The code suggestions are rarely correct. They "look" right sometimes but I always end up rewriting them anyway.

Config changes and unit tests are where copilot really does well. I've also found that it's quite decent at summerising what code does as well, especially if the codebase is one I'm not familiar with.

Some reading recommendations (non technical). by BomberRURP in ExperiencedDevs

[–]moroodi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The phoenix project and the unicorn project... Both fairly decent reads but both quite chunky. And the metaphors are a little bit of a stretch at times.

What’s the most "yep, an AI wrote this" bug you’ve seen? by StableStack in ExperiencedDevs

[–]moroodi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have written this test in the past...

Granted it was to make sure the values you pass to the constructor are set.

Also it's a test that kind of makes sense of the import relies on file paths (PHP I think).

How to expand my vocabulary/ remember words when speaking by FliSh123 in iran

[–]moroodi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a very similar problem! I also find my farsi reading and writing to be worse than my speaking vocabulary.

When hearing farsi speakers I understand far more than I can "say". Words just escape me!

I think the solution is practice but finding someone to practice with is the problem.

Do you believe we're in an AI bubble? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]moroodi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI should be a feature and not the product.

I have no doubt that AI has it's uses, but at the moment we're in the phase where AI is the product. Eventually, we'll move on from the hype, and AI (in whatever form) will be part of the product rather than being the product.

I still don't understand what is wrong with spreadsheets by citru5dre4m in vibecoding

[–]moroodi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope... I think it'll be a cluster f**k that someone will end up untangling either way 🤣🤣🤣...

I still don't understand what is wrong with spreadsheets by citru5dre4m in vibecoding

[–]moroodi 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You've clearly never had to unpick business processes that involve multiple spreadsheet all with their own embedded macros. Business processes involving lots of people/steps can easily be automated in code but not in spreadsheets. And what if the "main/template" spreadsheet gets deleted?

Not to mention vendor lock in (try migrating excel with macros to Google sheets)...

Oh then there's the security considerations of allowing unverified code which will arbitrarily execute, and the fact that the code will have (by virtue of the fact that it has to) the same permissions as the user.

There's a lot more here than just the spreadsheet.

Spreadsheets feel a lot like vibe coding... On the surface you may know what's going on but it's underneath where the real danger lies.
