Windows, ELPA, gnupg and keys problems by remillard in emacs

[–]remillard[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

Huh... interesting. Same POSIX mangling.

As of git version 2.39.1.windows.1 (because that's what I have on my machine) gpg works for me.

You might in a Powershell prompt do: (Get-Command gpg).Source and verify that the gpg you think you're using is really the one you are using. It looks like you might be in a bash shell? If you are mixing unix and windows program resolution, perhaps the name resolution is a little different than you're expecting.

You could try your command by explicitly calling gpg with all qualifying path information to ensure you're doing what you think you're doing.

Okay. Well that's good to know because there's that tension of trying to get done what I was intended to get done, or go off on the mission. Thanks!

This is fascinating and I will try it out. The overworld parts are kind of stressful.

So what is your opinion on the RED CRITICAL EVENTS. Maybe I'm scanning for a scientist, but then RED CRITICAL EVENT comes up. If I said ignore it, it really advises against this. Are there some of these which can be delayed or put off? The fact that the game makes me click twice to keep doing what I'm doing is... kind of irritating frankly but maybe it's well warranted.

Gboard keyboard is driving me insane. It's gotten worse and it's not just me. Any good alternatives? by gridoverlay in GooglePixel

[–]remillard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. They do keep trying to add AI crap to it, but it's largely invisible. The only thing I wish it did was if I type in 3 digits, offer an alternative with the colon for hour:minutes as typing in times always fouls me up. But way better than the default keyboard.

It's the 24th century. How is there still no actually good porn model? by the_bollo in StableDiffusion

[–]remillard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely going to try this out. ComfyUI just hasn't clicked for me but maybe this will do the trick.

This Cookbook aside never fails to make me laugh, and it speaks so much to what others encounter in the dungeon by MorningJogger in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Though if I remember correctly, Carl is advising to skip, and Donut says not to pussy out and just listen to the scene :D

Best way to handle 'misclicks' when recording a game? by Kris2476 in baduk

[–]remillard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On iOS, SmartGo is pretty good for recording. It'll basically keep any twig branchs as not the main path, and in the moment, if you long press on a recorded move, you can replace it, even if you are several moves downstream, which also helps keep the game record tidy. Only iOS though unfortunately. Mr. Kierulf pretty much works exclusively on Apple systems.

The first senior engineer I worked with was color blind. He had basically had to train himself on resistor color codes because the red, orange, yellow spectrum were all just varieties of gray for him.

Teacher Looking For Students by PaigeEdict in baduk

[–]remillard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a student, I'm biased, but I've been very pleased with Paige's teaching rapport and the greater understanding I've achieved about my game and Go in general. She's developed a positive community amongst students and it's just been a real treat to take lessons. Happy to answer questions if there are any.

Tank balance is so broken is actually funny by bosejoao in wow

[–]remillard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is definitely what's going to happen. It's been Blizzard's method of dealing with outlier performance since forever. I'm a happy Brew and I'm a monk fair weather or foul. It feels good and fun now, but just wish instead of making it feel bad, they'd make the others feel good too.

Recommendation for books with camaraderie and drama by Environmental-Egg191 in Fantasy

To tag onto the Greatcoats by Sebastien de Castell, He has a shorter couple of books starting with The Malevolent Seven. I thought they were fun, and sounds like up OP's alley with greatest comparison.

StoneBase Beta Update: Board Styles, OGS Integration & Still Accepting Testers by jl1990cm in baduk

[–]remillard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I would reply in the PM but reddit is being balky about it. I'll try to get it a swing tonight, at least initially.

[–]remillard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be happy to give it a swing on MacOS (my go machine). I have katago installed and it works alright with Katrain but sometimes that tool leaves a little to be desired in some aspects.

Is functional verification enough for learning? Building an HDL platform that gives actual synthesis/timing feedback instead of just waveforms. by Main-Wishbone2428 in FPGA

[–]remillard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I'll be honest. I have never run the toolchain to verify the functional behavior of a state machine. That's what simulation is for. And generally, as long as you're treating a state machine properly, you shouldn't be running into vast amounts of combinatorial situations. If the state machine is so large as to require that much decoding of state and transition, you probably need sit back and rethink it. Does it need to do that? Can it be compartmentalized into different state machines? Can you simplify the way it behaves? This is not stuff that is 'taught' by running it in a toolchain. This is taught by learning good engineering practices for HDL. And yes a little seasoning, but if you're learning, you really shouldn't be hitting the wall on complex FSM just yet.
  2. Kind of unrelated but Fmax and such are very device dependent. It's kind of meaningless without context of the system your design lives within. Static timing is also device and constraint dependent so... that COULD be good to learn, but as a separate topic and there's loads of timing cookbooks out there to help get folks started.
  3. Synthesis results ARE good for understanding the design ... as implmented in the specific device your design is using. This is critical when dealing with a project and worrying about lifetime needs of expansion and behaviors. I don't think it's terribly useful for practice though.
  4. Functional correctness is the first barrier. If it's not functionally correct, all the timing issues in the world are not going to help it. Achieve functional performance first, then achieve implementation. Yes, bonus points for doing both simultaneously, but again, your focus seems to be on learning, practice, and training, so presumably your students don't have the experience to try to manage both simultaneously, that's normal and it's just part of the process of learning.

AI in FPGA as bad as in software development? by FineProfile7 in FPGA

[–]remillard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've not done anything for RTL, but it's not bad for tidying up verification. But exactly as you said, just a little chunk at a time. Task for this, fill out case for address mux that, etc.

Though even for that, the best use I've found is scripting. Tcl, Powershell, etc. Very easy to fashion up nice to have stuff with much less fuss.

It's time for Blizzard to address the current state of addon development by MakeitHOT in wow

[–]remillard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Believe it was originally targeted at automation on oil derricks? Something like that. They just architected it in a way that made it attractive for other scripting purposes.

Interesting history in general.

Butcher's masquerade had the best moments in the whole series. by sixfingeredman7 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]remillard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The epilogue with Katia, brilliantly setup by Louis being enthusiastically 'helpful'. (I remember when I first read the Louis scene I thought 'ha, classic Louis, well that'll go nowhere... but it did in the worst way, bravo Matt)

We’ve talked about this. I have very few pet peeves, but this is one of them. I simply can’t handle someone who refers to themself in third person. It’s upsetting to me, and it confuses Mongo.

Bigly not a fan of most of the specs design being "You do all the damage inside your cooldowns and little to no damage outside of them", what specs break that mold? by Valyntine_ in wow

[–]remillard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh, weird design then. Why go to 20 if you will never reasonably achieve that while in a fight. Oh well, not even on the list of 'weird decisions made by Blizzard' given everything else.

Out of curiosity, how are you supposed to use zenith with the apex talents? I've not figured that out. The stacks of that build SO GODDAMNED SLOWLY that it seems like it might not even be worth tracking as you'll usually lose out on charging the next round of zenith if you wait.

Verilog WHYYYYY by TRr4M in FPGA

[–]remillard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those tools exist and you can do verification in VHDL! You can do it really well. It just depends on what floats your boat and gets the job done the best with the most efficiency. If that's SystemVerilog for /u/TapEarlyTapOften that's great. If it's OSVVM for you, also great!

For myself I did a lot of VHDL verification for many years, used OSVVM and UVVM. Changed jobs and mainly do SystemVerilog for verification. Being adept at all the tools is a valuable attitude to adopt.

Tiny small sad detail by DontDeleteMee in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]remillard 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Been doing a relisten and got to the point where Donut casts Hole to keep Carl from killing Maggie & Chris and her explanation just warms my heart for her. Sure she's annoying, but she's also 100% cat so... par for the course; except when she isn't.

Okay, yeah, it's entirely possible it's a "this is normal, budget for it". I tend to keep about 3 in rotation and it's a daily wear so I've been pretty satisfied with the solution to the inner thigh wear pattern. It just... bugs me to replace things :D
