justwalt··on GeForce RTX 3060 Ethereum Mining Restrictions Have Been Broken
I definitely wouldn’t buy something that had been intentionally crippled, on principle. Even if it were a very slight crippling.
justwalt··on A salt monopoly could spike car accidents in the Midwest
Not too mention animals eating the syrup from the roads.
justwalt··on Zoom Escaper: self-sabotage audio, making your presence unbearable to others
You’ll have to send the same message to your female coworkers in the name of fairness.
justwalt··on Netflix to start testing warnings for people borrowing login info
I don’t think that’s the right takeaway. I think it’s more accurately described as a situation where the original offering just isn’t enticing enough.
justwalt··on TikTok and the network effects of creativity
GPT3?
justwalt··on Power Outages in the US
Needs more room on the top end of the color code. Texas is 20x greater than Oregon, yet they’re the same color.
justwalt··on How the Media Cracks Down on Critics of Israel
Should we not criticize that this is taking place? Two bad things are happening, so let’s ignore them both?
justwalt··on Viral 'I'm not a cat' filter is decades-old software
I thought it started in Snapchat, where they were just filters at first, but then the AR stuff started getting added and you’d access them the same way you would the plain filters. The name just stuck due to people not caring to call them something else. What else would they be called? Lenses, maybe?
justwalt··on Veloren – Open-source MMORPG written in Rust
From experience playing Veloren, it’s one of the least buggy alphas I’ve ever played, and it runs incredibly smoothly. Not sure if that can be attributed to language choice, but I thought it was pretty remarkable when trying it out.
justwalt··on My Third Year as a Solo Developer
There’s another in-between case, where the people who decided to make garbage truck fleet management software noticed that there was a massive inefficiency firsthand, and decided to fix it. I imagine this is a great avenue for people who have both programming knowledge and experience in a separate domain.
justwalt··on U.S. Suffers Sharpest Rise in Poverty Rate in More Than 50 Years
I think the poster you’re responding to is upset about the hypocrisy, not the shutdown itself.
justwalt··on U.S. Suffers Sharpest Rise in Poverty Rate in More Than 50 Years
It’s instantly apparent just by looking at someone, I would imagine. That’s at least part of it.
justwalt··on Overweight and healthy is a big fat lie, obesity study finds
Regarding the point about cheap and healthy fast food, wouldn’t it be awesome to have the convenience of something like that? No need to be so dismissive.
justwalt··on Why webcams aren’t good enough
That sounds like something Apple would never do. Though I might have said the same thing about the camera notch on the iPhone.
justwalt··on Terminal Multiplexers
My leader key is the grave key. I’m not a big fan of using a modifier for something that can be done with one key press, so it’s perfect for me.
justwalt··on Terminal Multiplexers
I use tmux a lot at work because it allows me to do multiple tasks at once over ssh. Also, the synchronize-panes function is incredible for configuring multiple servers identically at the same time, which is a task I perform on a weekly basis. And of course, the ability to reconnect to a session is excellent as well.
justwalt··on On the Graying of Gnome
Unfortunately, I don’t know of any DE that does this well at this point.
justwalt··on The YouTube ban is un-American, wrong, and will backfire
I think this opinion is short sighted, because it assumes that we can trust Youtube (or other governing body) to rightfully and honestly decide which content is worth deplatforming. Isn't this idea central to the concept of freedom of speech?
justwalt··on A Free Hyperlegible Typeface from the Braille Institute
I’ll have to try my hand at making a mono space version of this fine some time. I like the idea of hyper legibility and I’d be curious to compare it against the font I normally use, which is Overpass Mono.
justwalt··on Show HN: Predict a Reddit user's Myers-Briggs type from their profile
For me it guessed ISTJ at 60%, INTJ at 8%, then INTP at 6%, the last of which is what I test as.
justwalt··on The truth about ferrites
Successes like these feel so satisfying. Cool stuff.
justwalt··on Global capital is the tail that wags the U.S. economic dog
Can you explain why you feel that way?
justwalt··on Suicide Linux (2009)
This comment reminds me of one of the ones in the thread a few days ago about Google clearing out trashed items. It was something like “this stinks because I always store my most important documents in the trash”, except this one seems to be less sarcastic :)
justwalt··on OB–4 – Portable high fidelity loudspeaker
i understand
justwalt··on Former YouTube content moderator describes horrors of the job in lawsuit
I remember reading an article some time ago about thr experiences of a developer who I believe was working on the most recent Mortal Kombat game. They talked about needing to watch lots of gore and similar content for the games cinematics, and about how it started to affect their mood. I don’t think I’d be able to work a job like that for very long.
justwalt··on Twister OS: Make Raspberry Pi Look Like Windows or macOS
Have to agree with this. It’s part of why I stopped going on Reddit so much, because seeing that kind of attitude was affecting how I viewed things. I mean, imagine if you were talking face to face with someone and they responded with that amount of negativity. It’d kill the conversation and the mood.
justwalt··on Spotify reportedly fighting with employees about hosting episodes of Joe Rogan
I think we’re playing with words here. That’s really not what that poster meant when they said “identity politics”.
justwalt··on Material Shell – A modern desktop interface for GNOME
I use it as well, it shouldn’t be too hard to find by searching “top panel scroll” on the extensions site or something along those lines.
justwalt··on Postcard stamped in 1920 delivered 100 years later
That got an audible laugh out of me.
justwalt··on AMD Announces Ryzen “Zen 3” and Radeon “RDNA2” Presentations for October
Back in 2018 I was upgrading my computer, and I wanted an all-AMD system, so I picked up a 2700X and a Vega 64. I’m really happy with the 2700X, but I returned the Vega because the Linux drivers (open source and proprietary) were shoddy for separate reasons. I picked up a 1080ti instead and never had a problem.
