the likelihood of reinstalling is high.
At least with Arch, I don’t imagine needing to reinstall, worst case I should be able to reinstall all packages from a live image.

But the removed count only includes a one year period and caps out at 250, how would you find the new average?


It’s surprisingly simple, if you have two cameras side by side, you’re capturing two images where the camera is moved horizontally relative to the subject. If you now instead take two pictures where you move the subject horizontally relative to the camera, you’re achieving the same effect on the subject in the images. This means you won’t get a correct effect on every video, and the background will be unaffected, but it can work.


Regarding osu’s source code, I think the original osu (osu!stable) is closed-source, and I think the servers might be closed-source, but I believe osu!lazer, the new reimplementation in C#, is fully opensource. It’s an ongoing effort and a long-term migration it’s in the middle of, but lazer looks great and I think it’s already meant to be the main version now.
As a person that generally dislikes onions, it’s different - I’m not a fan of onion flavor and don’t like the texture, but I know it can positively contribute to a dish for me, primarily if it’s not overly prominent.
It’s like seasoning, eating some seasoning alone might make it taste bad, you might dislike dishes that use it as a main flavor, but if it’s just a small component of a dish it might be a good thing. I haven’t had marmite, but from what I’ve seen it seems kinda like that, very strong offputting flavor that complements other things very well.


I think that might be losing a $100 discount from the other configuration, possibly because they have excess smaller drives that don’t meet win11 requirements?


Also pretty sure embrace extend extinguish doesn’t apply to a straight up buyout, it’s about taking a competing (often opensource) technology, embracing it and supporting it, then moving to take control over it by extending it (thus becoming the de facto main implementation, as others struggle to keep up with changes), waiting for competition to die out before finally dropping support, thus killing the technology
I’ve played a bunch of medical in SS13, so CMO immediately makes me think Chief Medical Officer


Yeah, it’s so annoying how every crossplatform project is having to do that, it’s such a burden on all those indie developers all managing so much hardware and automation to support those platforms. /s
I think I’ve seen the same argument against Linux package managers in general, and it’s bullshit in the way that it’s not on the projects to package for each distro, it’s on the project to provide a functioning build system, or at least binaries, and from there it’s on the distribution maintainers to figure out packaging.
But also, in cases where packaging is more complex than just one dependency system for a whole language, it would be beneficial to have one unified system - if all languages are packaged in a unified way for specific system package managers, then you only need to develop a system for them once across all languages, and then you might have one system you need to plug your project into, and from there it could be automatically packaged into all those systems.


Worth noting is that C# generally uses compiled libraries, not quite binaries but CIL rather than source code, so that’s what you get when adding references and NuGet packages. And at the same time, compiled C# files include a lot of metadata about the code, like class structure and method signatures, so one .DLL is all you need to use a library.
NPM is a more complex situation. To say there is one build system is already misleading, since there isn’t a build system built into JS - packages can be source distribution, or they can use a variety of tools, minifiers, packages for web or for Node, and occasionally include native libraries/binaries or otherwise compile native code from other sources.
I think generally new languages have their own package managers primarily because older languages weren’t planned for convenient dependency management, so solutions for that are stapled on top of their stuff, aren’t compatible with existing libraries, often have some annoyances, and there are often multiple alternatives that were independently developed. On the other hand, new languages can just plan things out from the start, tweaking the language to work well for libraries, and establishing a single tool to avoid fragmentation.
The image in the comment mostly just feels hipster to me, and that would fit jumping on a currently trendy distro that’s also technically Arch. I don’t know if there’s more to it, it’s just a vibe thing for me.
Don’t take those memes seriously, I think the only bad thing I’d have about CachyOS is that it’s probably getting popularity as a trend, which doesn’t reflect on the distro itself.
In my particular personal opinion it seems like a good choice if you already know what you’re doing, since it’s mostly just Arch with a nice installer, which I consider to be a solid choice with good support.
Wouldn’t a real Gentoo user use a genuine IBM era Thinkpad?


And if someone photoshopped something in a realistic way, it was impressive, like “damn, they got me too!”, something to appreciate as art.


Ehh, pretty sure they know what they’re talking about, they just have what I consider a really bad take about it, and present it as absolute fact. Because yes, you need a connection to steam to “install” a game from steam, whereas you can predownload a GOG game and then not need a connection to install. Which doesn’t really matter to most people, since they don’t care about having the game use an official installer, as opposed to either an unofficial one or just archived game files, but it is a difference.


From my understanding, screen tearing happens when the GPU sends a frame to the screen in the middle of that frame being written to the buffer, which means half of the buffer has the last frame, and half has the new one (citation needed on the exact mechanics). VSync works around this by keeping two (or more) final buffers, making sure there’s always a full buffer ready to send to the screen, and waiting to start rendering another frame until one of the buffers is “free”, having been displayed on the screen.
This means the phenomenon is different, because the monitor is displaying the image correctly - it’s receiving an image with a tear in it, and faithfully rendering that.
As a bonus fun fact, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR, also known under marketing terms GSync and FreeSync) is a better way to work around this, it’s basically monitor hardware that can render frames with freer timing (not stuck at a specific refresh rate), and a way for the GPU to send a frame to the monitor when ready instead of a strict schedule, so instead of the GPU waiting for the monitor to be ready, the monitor can wait for the GPU.
I imagine any users contributing from Japan could be subject to penalties under Japanese law though, and if Japan wanted to fight it they could start blocking Wikipedia as well.
Yup, seems like netflix started me at the latest season at the time or something, watched three episodes from the first season…
Not terribly impressed, still, seems like every episode revolves around sex, which is fair, considering humanity, but if every episode is going to be like this it’ll tire me out real soon.
Either way, glad to have checked it out properly from the start, thanks for shouting out the episode name!


CachyOS asks you which DE you want when installing. And even if it didn’t, it’s Arch, and you can have whichever DE you want on Arch. I don’t know Fedora well, but I think it has variants with different DEs preinstalled.
Technically vanilla RimWorld already has “Lovin’”, which colonists sharing a bed can do, and the DLC has colonist pregnancy, IUDs, babies, and I think even artificial insemination (though it’s been a long time since I played without mods, so I could be mixing something up)
But really, given sufficient time, any sufficiently moddable game will have a horny mod made.
