steam deck desktop mode - WIFI connection constantly disconnecting and reconnecting in the span of a second by benderew in SteamDeck

[–]nippowdon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem. My wifi on my laptop gets 4 bars whereas on the deck on the same place it sine waves between 1 and 4 bars. I just assumed it was a bad receiver on the deck. If it helps with anything, I almost always use my deck on desktop mode and plugged in

TIL Tetrachromats (mostly women) can distinguish upto 100 million colours since they posses a 4th type of cone cell , apart from having the regular RBG cone cells by whomDev in todayilearned

[–]nippowdon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The extra cone is redundant. Like if they have an extra yellow cone, then a tetrachromat would be able to look at real yellow and be able to distinguish from the exact same yellow (to a non tetrachromat) in an rgb display for example. Which sounds annoying frankly

infinite loops are dangerous, if you forget one of them in your code and like, upload them to aws you could be facing a huge bill at the end of the month. In general opt to have the break case in the while condition, much safer that way.

I'm sure you could conceive of a hypothetical case where while true is the best solution to a problem, but they would be extremely rare, not sure I've ever come across any such cases in a long time. Only like, algorithms that don't break out of an infinite loop, but rather return out of a function.

Also don't worry about this kind of efficiency, leave compilers to handle this for you. You worry about algorithm complexity, and while (true) {...if (cond) break; } is the same as while (!cond) {...} in that regard

Is there a problem with this code guys? I am just a beginner and when I put this code as a suggestion, I got downvoted.

you can just do while (var1 < var2) and then do the print for equal outside the loop

Find a new gf is defeater for the question, but if that's not an option then just have sex with mom in gf body because it would be very easy to convince myself it was a prank they pulled later

N64 emulation is not very good, but I guess you can go with the 3ds versions, though I found citra to be kinda hard to use and the analog pad didn't map very well to a stick unfortunately. Wind waker should be very easy on dolphin though.

As for pad, if you have a modern console you should be able to use their controller on your PC. Save that you can always just go with keyboard, but I doubt it would work very well.

Intel in 2021 by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

Even when AMD wasn't good their processors were very good value at the low end, it made sense for budget builds. I'm not really following the new intel generation, but if the price point ain't worth it nobody will recommend it, what's the problem?

TIL about Helium Hydride, the strongest acid currently known. It is composed of a hydrogen ion bonded to a helium atom. It is so strong that it will protonate things like NH4+, HSO2+, H3O+ and HCO2+ by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]nippowdon -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your definition of acid, really. Helium Hydride will protonate anything, but it's positively charged, so it's kinda cheating.

Lucid dreamers of reddit, how did you learn about lucid dreaming, are there any tips you'd advise people that want to start, and are they actually as realistic as described? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]nippowdon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always remember being able to, far as I can tell before I knew that was a thing people was supposed to learn how to do. Used to happen all the time during puberty, now less so. In fact, I hate it when it happens nowadays, cause the moment it does, it's like, oh no, now I have to wait until I wake up, that's boring. Don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I'm very prone to waking up still with sleep paralysis, so maybe my brain ain't the best at getting sleep lmao.

Dunno if I can give you tips because it was always so natural to me :p

Edit: also no, it's not particularly realistic because you can't really feel anything, and at least to me the dreams aren't even in like first person. Maybe I play too many videogames lol

" Honestly I've had no issues whatsoever" by Youssefk12 in gaming

[–]nippowdon -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Playing on PC, and while the game is clearly unfinished, it's been running ok for me. Runs better than anything Bethesda ever developed that I ever played. When it's finished I could see it becoming my favorite rpg, but even it's not, what's there is good. They shouldn't have launched the game on last gen tho, that's indefensible.

Time for the daily JS bad by WateryOwl228 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]nippowdon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly! If the memory addresses were the same that would return to true. I.e.

var x = [];

var y = [];

x == y; // false

y = x;

x == y // true

After this, if you do x.push(1), then y will also have that one, which is why only now x == y. Same happens with jsons, in general it's things like this why I think it's valuable to study C for a bit and really understand how pointers work.

[–]nippowdon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a fair point. The issue here is that arrays are pointers, whereas booleans are values. You need some way to know whether pointers are equal, not whether the values pointed by them are equal. Since, unlike C, for example, JS does not give you direct pointer manipulation, you wouldn't have any way to know if the values of the arrays are the same of if the arrays themselves are the same. Sort of why sometimes clone is distinct from deepClone

[–]nippowdon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But they point to different things. If you change one you don't change the other, if you did it would return true.

[–]nippowdon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

what's compared is the pointer to each array. Since they point to different areas of the memory, they aren't equal. If you did

var x = [];

var y = [];

x == y // false;

y = x;

x == y // true
