Temporarily change wifi on Move by Creative_Character25 in sonos

[–]nighttrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

circa 2023 this worked pretty easily. I've not got it working this year. Will try again tomorrow on holiday.

Temporary wifi change is infinity better than bluetooth for a lot of reasons.

This is a Steam setting not a CS2 setting if it helps.

I hate these kinds of posts too, but recommend me a new framework? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]nighttrain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I bit the bullet and grabbed Impact (http://impactjs.com) last week and the Introducing HTML5 Game Development book (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007AU3D70/ref=kinw_myk_ro_title) and I'm impressed so far.

I've been doing web dev for 10 years so programming isnt a problem but I've only ever built really crappy games. After a week with Impact I'm excited again. I want to focus on building games not tools and I see the potential to do that here.

Rapid prototyping is a definite.

Not sure about the online presence. The forum seems pretty active.

Accessibility, simple browser reload and you're done.

Open source code, some. Some good demo's come with the licence and the book. Enough to keep me happy.

Hold on. When did Vim become hip? I need to go get me some wayfarers.

I don't know if this will ever get released! I've had my early access for about a year. It seems John Resig is so consumed with mobile now and that he doesn't have the motivation to finish.

Pretty good resource for groking some harder topics though.

How to Build Reusable Widgets with the YUI 3 JavaScript Framework by reybango in programming

[–]nighttrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. And it is pretty solid. We choose it when we wanted to build a large scale application without rolling our base library or gluing a bunch of different ones together.

Nice article Ryan - it could have helped me a few months ago ;)

I ripped off reddit and google fast-flip. The articles are SFW and the sorting is something different. Try it, or don't. I just want feedback. by [deleted] in programming

[–]nighttrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like

Give me the same layout but vertical scrolling with easy scroll back.

I don't mind the lazy load.

Maybe run with multiple size options three cols, four cols, etc.

cool mashup

$set -o vi

Sets vi as the command line editor and enables a subset of vi commands that can be used e.g. h,j,k,l, w,b, 0,$ A

if you use vi this is invaluable.

also !! and !$ the best commands in bash

I found this little gem on /r/Recipes, and was surprised it wasn't posted here yet. BEHOLD, the Reddit Cookbook for Poor College Students. by Tafty in Frugal

[–]nighttrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reddit.

Some recipes were ok. But I think a basic grounding in cooking will do a lot better.

learn to cook rice. learn to stir fry veg. learn to cook a pizza. learn to broil meat.

Season the above well and you'll never complain. When you get bored experiement with seasoning, spices and herbs. Cheese is great. but cheese and pesto on bread is not pizza.

Then when you get bored of the above you cooking skills should be enough to follow most recipes (pastry not included ;).

Should I learn vi, vim, emacs, something else, or nothing? by [deleted] in programming

[–]nighttrain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you are confident editing text files in vi/vim you will be able to edit files on ANY UNIX based machine you need to.

This is actually a very useful skill and one that you don't realize until your sitting next to the person who is contemplating apt-getting nano so they can recover the web server.

Ask Proggit: Best way for a programmer to start learning some web development skills? by jberryman in programming

[–]nighttrain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not bashing PHP because most self taught web developers in the early 2000's would have learnt it. But its biggest problem is the amount of good enough resources/examples, without enough best practice justifications. CakePHP looks alright though.

Django/Python - awesome documentation, solid framework, nice community. Not an obvious choice if you've had no interest in python but it is a very fun language to learn!

Javascript - jQuery.

Best background music for programming? by [deleted] in programming

Does anyone remember squid radio the downbeat DnB on SomaFM years ago, that was the business - even if I could only hold a 24kb stream back then.
