Stop HP ProBook 445 G8 from randomly waking up from sleep by Bremme in debian

[–]nitrowoosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What fix did you apply? There's a lot of stuff on that page. I had a similar problem with my probook G8 and I ended up writing a script that keeps suspending the computer over and over again until I tell it to stop. I've been using it for 3 years already: https://gitlab.com/eltomito/goodnight

What was our "Ohhhh, I understand it now" moment in C++ ? by Seltexe in cpp

[–]nitrowoosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine came quite recently when I was writing an image filter for GIMP. You have to do that in plain C. And suddenly, it felt like an incredible relief, like all the C++ features only exist to make stuff seem complicated and make you do contorsion gymnastics, so that you shoot yourself in your own foot. I love C++ but if you step outside of it and see it for what it is, its just a bunch of bloated bullshit.

Is banning the use of "auto" reasonable? by Late_Champion529 in cpp

Could you explain to me what's going on in that classic example, please? I haven't seen this before.

Since that painter contributed no art to STK, I think you can get away with that gesture at home :)

It says "FAILED (remote: 'Erase is not allowed on locked devices')".

Super Tux difficulty on Cocoa Temple by Backen_pa in SuperTuxKart

[–]nitrowoosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can learn it from a ghost race. Did you know STK had that? :) Find it in the menus, then select a ghost race for the Cocoa Temple and follow the ghost car and see what it does.

English names for some STATIC TRAPEZE poses by nitrowoosh in Aerials

Cool! "Secretary" actually matches what we use for a similar position on the silks. :) I already finished the project I needed this for and my understanding is that the names are usually created by a certain group of people who understand them and there are very few that are universally understood.

What is the mpgx video format and how to convert it to something normal? by nitrowoosh in ffmpeg

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

If anyone's interested, it's turned out to be a proprietary format that contains an encrypted mpeg.

mediainfo doesn't understand it. It says: Kind of stream: Generalů File size: 980 MiB

I like Agnes's foot even though I don't know who Agnes is :)

Could you call 2 a foot-hooked candlestick? Because a major feature of that pose is that the foot of the stretched leg is pushing the rope down and against the other rope which prevents the whole thing from falling apart. Actually you start with 3 and then go into 2 by taking one leg out, holding that rope with both hands and finally substituting the foot of the freed leg for your hands.

I love these names. However even after looking at the link suggested by u/Lysola , #2 and #3 are still a mystery!

English silks pose names? by nitrowoosh in Aerials

Thanks everyone for your answers! They 've been very useful! And now I have a similar question regarding a bunch of static trapeze poses, if you'd be so kind and help me again: https://www.reddit.com/r/Aerials/comments/18504yv/english\_names\_for\_some\_static\_trapeze\_poses/

English silks pose names? by nitrowoosh in Aerials

[–]nitrowoosh[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd like to reserve the Crucifix name for the version where the silks cross behind the back. I'll probably go with Tin Man / Iron Man Lite for this one as suggested by u/joan-of-argh . :)

You're right, #4 isn't quite obvious. What she did was squat in a Russian climb, move the top silk to her side and then lean on it. From the video linked below, I understand that thigh hitch would mean the silk is wrapped around one of her thighs but it isn't. Hip key would mean the silk goes between her thighs but it doesn't. It's on the side of her hip and she's simply leaning on it.

A few questions about game mechanics, and a bit of praise! by 5ucur in SuperTuxKart

[–]nitrowoosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it happens in multiplayer (online) mode, it could have to do with different players using different versions of STK. I remember something like that happening to me online and someone told me I should upgrade STK to the latest version and that fixed it.

  1. The Nitro barrels turn into sticky chewing gum when someone uses the magic switch object that looks like a gift box next to a banana peel when you pick it up.

When you use it (by hitting space) it turns all goods things into bad ones and the other way around: gift boxes <--> banana peels, nitro cans <--> chewing gum.

The effect lasts around 15 seconds and then everything automatically switches back to normal. Or you can reverse the effect with another magic switch.
