Absolutely with you on the last point, but the Subway Surfers mentioned in this Article is a mobile game which has been around since 2012 - they don't splice in videos with actual subway surfing. Not that that changes much about the ar

Try this in your local vim: set rnu Really handy for relative movements like 5j or 12k :)

FYI the fingerprint sensor problem has since been fixed and I can now use it again without trouble for banking apps and the like. (Although I'm on a Fairphone 3+) Still holding up fairly well in 2024, even if it's a bit slow at ti

That was probably supposed to be a pun - you're both on the same side here :)

Skateboarding! It's a bit hard to find time for it during a workday, but sometimes I just have the urge to get moving and trade lunch with my colleagues for some time on the board. A really nice change of pace, and I can usually think

It's never too late to start. At the beginning you should really focus on trying some things that keep your attention. (For me that was programming games - incredibly crufty ones, but seeing thing move on my screen got me really excite

This is the same type of screen used as in the pebble smartwatches[0], right? Honestly, I wonder why that technology hasn't been used for anything like the Thinkpad in the video - I'd love to have such a device! [0] https:/&

To add to that - if you prefer writing the body of the post itself in markdown, and write in VIM, here's a little snippet that might help: :%!markdown_py where markdown_py is your markdown-to-html tool of choice. This will take the who

The issue already seems to be there[0], but honestly I immediately resorted to using the arrows to move the pieces around and from there on out it didn't disturb me anymore. I'm really glad you're putting such an emphasis on

I just gave this a try, and I would honestly love to have a traditional cad software that is so intuitive and easy to use. (Except for the stuff with the rotation, that was a little hiccup for me) I could just get into it, drag, drop rotate

I highly recommend messing around with yabasic[0] a bit, runs on windows and (probably) most unix-likes, and even offers graphics capabilities right out of the box! I feel like this would've been a great batteries-included environment

A related thing to consider: I've been thoroughly enjoying sites built on the gemini protocol[0] They're all written in a sort of restricted markdown, and the community seems to be a pretty fun place to be. [0] https://

I know it's not what you asked for, but these articles helped me a lot with linear algebra - which you will most probably need in any case: http://blog.wolfire.com/2009/07/linear-algebra-for-game-deve... htt

Then again, shows like One Punch Man work because you know all of those tropes, and doesn't seem to work nearly half as well if you don't know what they're referring to. (I've tried showing it to someone with rather li

Why would you not just set the location of the backup and swapfiles to a fixed place in your system? Try this: set backupdir=~/.vim/backups,. set directory=~/.vim/swapfiles,. It will only write in the curren

Infiniminer is something that comes to mind - which was the base used for Minecraft, I think. While we're in the Realm of voxel-based games, there's Minetest, which is open Source and written in C++ and extendable by Lua. Iirc, br

Hehe^^ Try: ,p or: ,n in ed and you'll print the whole file to the screen - although you'll be at the end of the file with everything that didn't fit on screen cut off. I guess there's a reason why it's not

In all honesty, I think I had a harder time exiting ED (the standard editor), although vim and ED are quite similar in spirit ;)

Maybe it's just your use case - but I've just switched someone over to Linux and it seems to be suiting them much better than Windows - granted they're running older hardware, but we would've had to throw that laptop awa

The page is in fact almost completely blank for me - I don't think it loaded properly, all I can see are the related products at the bottom... Maybe it's because I'm on firefox? Edit: it works in chromium, what a piece of jun

Let's take the sausage for example. If you have a clump of meat, it's not a sausage. If it's brought into shape by some kind of "skin", (which nowadays often is artificial "intestine"), then it's a sa

I do have to admit though that some of the vegetarian "cold cuts" (I hope google translate hasn't failed me here), are really, really good! It's terribly processed stuff, but as far as I remember the taste of meat, it co
