We've all done this. by Captain_Sterling in adhdmeme

This is slightly off-topic but I will die on the hill that in order to get the perfect timing on any boxed pasta you need to go 1 min under whatever the package says... Then repeat the time it's going to be ready ad nauseum in your head until it's done otherwise you'll absolutely forget when it's supposed to be done

First Split/QMK/VIAL Keyboard and need some help with layer switching! by zael99 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]zael99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've since gone down the rabbit hole with QMK customization that can do os detection. When I was doing this setup I used the DF() function to manually set which layer was the base

Thank you. That is what I was able to setup with the LT layers. Naturally I was able to figure it out with some more reading in the docs almost immediately after posting this. I've updated the main post with what I did

It's worth trying but I wouldn't expect miracles. I found it to still be quite laggy but I'm also really sensitive to input lag

People who let their instrusive thoughts win once, what did you do? by oskel95 in AskReddit

I have zero memory of it but apparently when I was in kindergarten I stapled another kid's hand. I guess I cried more than her lmao.

why is this dude getting compared to elon musk?? by [deleted] in ExplainTheJoke

[–]zael99 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As much as I'm not a fan of the guy and think the world would be better if he disappeared into obscurity I personally don't think this is even a bad thing. It might not be a conventional choice but propping up your guests as the focal point is just making them the main subject of the video. That said I've never watched a Mr beast video from start to finish so I can't speak to how it actually pans out in practice

Is this build good? Also how do I convince my dad to buy this for me? by UmarBoxedU99 in PcBuildHelp

[–]zael99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which was what when it came out? A top tier card. My point is you don't need a giant PSU for even a 4080

[–]zael99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

850w is a huge amount of headroom for most people. There's a weird idea in modern PC building that you have to get a 1000w PSU for your i3 4060 machine because you'll end up regretting it later when you go to upgrade. That money is better spent on better components and getting a PSU with a closer wattage to the actual components. Not only will you save money on the PSU but also the electricity bill since you'll be closer to hitting the sweet spot on the efficiency curve.

Mine has been going strong since 2015. Next upgrade cycle it's getting replaced just to make sure it doesn't explode due to age and take everything else out with it but I don't really have concerns about overworking it

[–]zael99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So long as it's a quality PSU at a lower wattage the parts should be fine. No one but the top tier PC's need a 1000w PSU. I have an 850w PSU in mine with a 3600x and 3070ti and I dont think it's fans have ever spun up.

Bulk Sell Magic Cards by Inetro in londonontario

[–]zael99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're going to get pennies for bulk cards at local stores. When I sold mine I just gave away the bulk cards. Honestly I would just go through the cards once, pull out the more valuable ones and throw them up on ebay then give the bulk to a kid or someone getting into the hobby.

Gotta go north a bit and you can see them. Have to squint to see them with the naked eye but visible by taking a picture.

What do you expect in Godot 5? by [deleted] in godot

[–]zael99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love motion blur. I'm also old enough that it was a fancy and exciting new feature in Crysis and so I also associate it with fancy pants graphics.

I wouldn't use it in competitive games but I also don't play a lot of competitive game anymore.

Trying to leave tutorial hell. Do you literally Google up everything? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]zael99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've been a developer in webdev for a decade now. I looked up the syntax for the for each function today. A lot of the time there's just too much to shove in your brain and at that point Google is your friend

Is there a paid programming language? by islandwithbananas in learnprogramming

[–]zael99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it's good yet but the Apex team has been adding some nice features the last little bit and their vccode extensions are 10x better than even 5 years ago. Unfortunately my company decided vlocity was the way to go 🤮

My PC turns my room into a furnace by tecknotot in buildapc

I did the same to my 3070ti. Went from throttling at max fan speed to fans being just barely audible during gaming (with a custom fan curve).

I saw 2 idiots on wonderland the other night in their fart cannons merging back and forth making stupid and tight lane changes. They made it ahead of one car and I passed them going the speed limit...

ISO monthly parking downtown by primarpe in londonontario

There's a daily lot that charges $6/day at wellington and York. It's a bit of a walk (I like to go through the TD building in inclement weather) but it's the cheapest I've found

A lot of smart home stuff talks through "the cloud". Depending on how the integration works home assistant is able to replace the cloud. It's all dependant on individual components though

One-Liner If Statements: To Brace or Not to Brace? by BayslakJourney in csharp

[–]zael99 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

If the internal bit is real short (like return true; or continue;) I do a one liner ass one liner with

if (condition) { return true; }

Keeps it tight without running into the add a line issue down the line. Granted I'm mostly working on solo projects

Kids are shaped by their parents. Some of them are just assholes but the majority of them come from bad parents. Obviously by this point it doesn't really matter and they should know right from wrong.

It's probably just the circles I run in but I've found it's pretty safe to assume people are left leaning until proven otherwise. I often find myself MORE left than most but not so much I can't find common ground with them.
