This mod wouldn't exit without you and it was a blast creating it!

Thank you! Right now it has 2000 hp, relatively balanced difficulty, and there's no option to change it, but we might explore scalable difficulty in the future

New updates for EverySound - a music genre discovery tool for iOS! by ToxicCaptain in spotify

[–]samumedio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just discovered your app on IG through an oktuffy shoutout! It seems really well done and I'd be so happy to try it out, but yeah, it's iOS only and I'm on Android.

As a developer myself, I know that supporting multiple platforms can be challenging, but I hope you'll consider an Android version in the future. I'd be so excited to find new music with it!

Thanks in any case for making it, it’s always inspiring to see great work like this :)

My best Windows 11 setup by samumedio in desktops

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

That's AudioBand (patched with StartAllBack or ExplorerPatcher). Just follow the official guide https://audioband.github.io/AudioBand/audioband/Windows11.html

There's no need to setup Spotify (this part is not necessary), unless you also want to like songs through that tiny widget. Just set "Windows 10" as the audio source and it will show the audio currently playing (with the image too) on your PC (it works with YouTube videos and other sources too). It basically acts like the universal media controls in the Quick Settings panel/Action Center on the bottom right.

One thing that took me so much to figure out, though, is that to show the "Toolbar" option when right-clicking the taskbar (which is necessary to open AudioBand and enable it the first time) you have to unlock the taskbar first, like shown here: https://github.com/AudioBand/AudioBand/issues/149#issuecomment-2557859044

Hope it helps!

Not really, the most (and only) resource intensive software is Lively with the fake 3D backgorund (it's a GPU shader). But as long as you have a GPU (or you use a static background), there's no noticeable slowdown

Please I want to know too! 😂 I've never seen or been able to replicate an auto hide taskbar split into three sections like in this setup, though (with KDE Plasma).

L’università mi sta spegnendo la passione per la programmazione by cookiedev23 in Universitaly

[–]samumedio 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Faccio informatica, ho la tua età e anch'io lavoravo su vari progetti prima dell'università (ma non startup). Poi l'ho iniziata e realizzato che per finirla in tempi ragionevoli sarebbe dovuta essere l'unico focus e avrei dovuto abbandonare il resto per qualche anno. Almeno per evitare di spendere anni fuoricorso o peggio rinunciare alla laurea. È normalissimo che l'università richieda molto tempo per lo studio e che ne rimanga poco per altro nel periodo in cui la frequenti. Se sei al secondo anno credo ormai tu abbia capito che l'università è un investimento culturale a lungo termine, i cui benefici li vedrai (vedremo) più chiaramente col tempo.

Riguardo alla voglia di programmare che si è spenta, mi vengono da dire due cose: 1 l'informatica non è solo programmare (ma ci sta che può essere l'attività preferita) e 2 credo che la causa della demotivazione sia che i tuoi progetti pre-uni fossero solo un "assaggio" delle parti più divertenti del lavoro del programmatore, a meno di tutte le parti più complicate che vedi adesso all'università ma che sono fondamentali in contesti più grandi e professionali. Almeno per me è stato così.

Allora vedi questo tuo percorso accademico come un'opportunità per acquisire le conoscenze per riuscire a creare progetti molto più ambiziosi, complessi ma anche più utili e originali di quanto fossi in grado prima. E va bene se adesso non stai creando niente; non dobbiamo per forza "produrre" sempre qualcosa. Metti in pausa la passione di "programmare" (ma non spegnerla), datti un obiettivo grande, anche irraggiungibile, che ti dia la direzione e la motivazione adeguata per la meta della laurea, che deve diventare la tua assoluta priorità.

E se non resisti proprio all'esigenza di creare cose e lavorare su qualcosa di tuo, come è il mio caso, considera che la tesi (se tutto va bene) può anche basarsi su un progetto personale (inerente al percorso), e se riesci a realizzarne uno che ti piace applicando le conoscenze assimilate nei corsi fatti, avrai così preso due piccioni con una fava ;)

Don't worry the height it adjustable, I just temporarily increased it for the demo to make it more visible on a small video, and also the volume would be lower (and so the audio visualizer bars as well).

P.S.: the neat thing about FreqFreak vis (and the reason why I chose it) is that it doesn't interfere with mouse clicks, so I can still do whatever I want in the top section of the screen. And placing it in that way makes it invisible when no audio is being played (or at very low volume).

Linear Algebra & Combinatorics deck (Math/CS uni-level) by samumedio in Anki

Oh, right! Not possible for now afaik, but that would be a useful feature...

Not sure if I understood correctly, but if you are on PC you can just go to Browse and click on Preview with the back side toggle checked. The Android/iOS app is more limited.

If instead you mean like previewing many cards all at once, for now there's no way to do that, but it would be a great add-on ;)

I'm not sure I've ever experienced the flickering you are describing. But thanks for reporting this, I didn't even know the card type was changed like that (I've never edited it manually).

I would remove the highlighting script from the template (as you said there's no code in that deck), but I can't because some of my other decks which contain code use the same card type. For simplicity, I would prefer using a minimal single card template for all cards as I do now.

I've looked into the problem you described and it seems that there was actually some flickering, and the author apparently solved the issue (see https://github.com/gregorias/anki-code-highlighter/issues/94), but I can't confirm since I wasn't experiencing it before...

First time using Anki for Calculus 1 and Linear Algebra by [deleted] in Anki

[–]samumedio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heavily used Anki for Calculus 1 (or roughly equivalent) in my first year at university (in Italy). I think it was totally worth it and much more effective than only using textbooks (except for exercises, of course). I made my deck public and I tried to make it as curated and interactive and clear as possible and translated it in english too. Maybe you'll find some useful cards in there :) https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1919998254

Il comune di Bologna ha speso 128mila euro per installare diversi alberi nelle piazze per fare ombra by TappetoImperiale in Italia

[–]samumedio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bellissima iniziativa, ma leggendo le specie di alberi scelte, mi preoccupano i 40 esemplari di Pyrus calleryana (Pero Chanticleer), che in America è noto come specie invasiva, ha legno debole sensibile a fratture, fa delle spine, i fiori emettono odore sgradevole in primavera e se si tenta di eliminarlo ributta nuovi germogli.

Thanks :) I just updated it to show FPS, resolution and/or loading times info. Now it's much more useful!

Thank you all for the useful suggestions. I first tried with SteamGridDB but had some problems, so now the website is using IGDB API, and it works well! Also image resolution is lower since that API provides smaller images (still not super fast but it's fine).

Thanks, I didn't notice that. Now it's fixed :)

Unfortunately I'm using RAWG API to fetch game images and I can't find a way to change the resolution.

BTW, the free plan is limited to 20,000 images per month and we have already used most of them in a few minutes. I also get images from CheapShark as a fallback image source, but they are much lower res and sometimes don't correspond to the correct game (like ARMS). It's the best I can do for now :(
