In some industries, Microsoft subscriptions are a drop in the ocean. Switching out things like Entra ID, Office, and print/scanning solutions would cost so much more, and come bundled with enough risk that no sane project manager would

Just last week I installed Windows 11 by downloading the ISO from Microsoft and creating a bootable USB stick with Rufus [1]. Rufus has options to make the Windows installer skip the Microsoft account login. Worked great! There are reasons

Thanks for the recommendation, but "nmtui" is also the most Linux answer you could have given me :) And it completely misses the point. Yes, there’s a lightweight tool for everything, but the appeal of KDE is that I don’t need to

Interesting. But the only thing I would miss, is something like a settings menu. Or do you really expect me to fiddle around in config files to configure basic stuff like wifi? Or am I just stupid? Oh wait, I could use claude for that....

This will be pushed down from people, who will have no deep understanding of it. But it does check some boxes in an ISO certification. Well, now you must to work with a confusing tool which slows you down. You are not allowed to use claude

The paper uses a minimal weight of 30g and surface area of 1cm² for a replicator. On page 13 it says that you need at least 40 of them to travel through intergalactic space, but also states that there is more mass floating around in interst

It's so sad that we're the ones who have to tell the agent how to improve by extending agent.md or whatever. I constantly have to tell it what I don't like or what can be improved or need to request clarifications or alternat

The problem is the demand for dynamic content in AAA games. Large exterior and interior worlds with dynamic lights, day and night cycle, glass and translucent objects, mirrors, water, fog and smoke. Everything should be interactable and des

Maybe I'm missinformed, but doesn't starlink have to comply with rules made by local authorities? Afaik, when the internet goes down, like it happened in Thailand, Starlink can't be used too, because it always roots traffic t

I also thought about this a lot. Some things about slow thinking are great. I truly believe that it helped me thrive as a software developer. But social interactions are awkward. I can't really come up with things to say easily and lot

It's a shitty system, if one side just needs to succeed one time while the other side needs to succeed over and over again. What really should be done is to disallow proposals, which are kinda the same. Once a mass surveillance proposa

I know this behavior all to well. I definitely think that this can be used to your advantage: You learn alot in the struggle and get a deep understanding of the problem. But you really need to step back once in a while and contemplate, if t

Wouldn't it just solve a whole lot of problems if we could just add optional type declarations to json? It seems so simple and obvious that I'm kinda dumbfounded that this is not a thing yet. Most of the time you would not need it

It's an interesting discussion. There's always a divide when you slowly migrate from one thing to another. What makes this interesting is that the difference between C code an Rust code is not something you can just ignore. You wi

Do colors have any significance in those flame graphs? It's unfortunate that a post about them does not mention anything about colors. If you look at at the examples, there are bars, which have the same length, but the colors look rand

G'mic is a great tool. I use the QT-Plugin for Krita. The only problem I have is that I don't use it very much and if I do, I'm just overwhelmed by all the effects and parameters. I'm sure there's great value there.

Yeah, and if you do that long enough, eventually there will be generation of consumers which think that it is totally normal. I remember a time, when I set specific firewall rules for each application. A time where I would never allow to sh

I avoided wordpress like a plague. Used stuff like django, flask, grav and who knows what. But recently I had to make a website with lots of unknowns which needed to be authored by dummy users and I just said ** it and went with wordpress.

You're right about parts, which are mostly state machines. The have a defined input and output. Tests are straightforward to implement and adjust. But recording and replaying matches? Taking screenshots and comparing the output? Just t

Reminds me of an article about the testing infrastructure of League and Legends [1] back in 2016. 5500 tests per build in 1 to 2 hours. Games are extremely hard to test. For me it falls into the same category like GUI testing frameworks whi

Yes, and let me explain why. Subscriptions are significantly better for a company. They result in a steady income and a predictable growth curve. It's so much easier to plan the upcoming years if you can predict the income. While we al

Step 1: Announce the acquisition. Everyone will talk about the company and the fear of subscriptions. Step 2: Tell everyone, that the current pricing model will stay and no subscriptions will be offered. Everyone will cheer and recommend t

Smartphones alone are not to blame for the problem. There are several aspects that, taken together, pose huge challenges for schools, parents and children. Parents have less time for their children. This is understandable when both parents

Yes, and extending existing contracts based on new requirements. But also contract validation, like check if something missing or finding loopholes. If they are sneaky, they could sell that information to lawyers, who can definitely make us

Simple example: You want to control torque with a PID to reach a target angular velocity. What if the player suddenly negates the target angular velocity (by going from left arrow key press to right arrow key press for example). How do you

by zubspace 3y ago
Well, you kind of prove my point, because you made me jump from a 5 minute lecture about PIDs to a study about control systems. Yes, probably there are all kinds of systems to control and autotune a PID. But that's the problem. In game

The site explains the three parts of PID's very well. On one hand I like PID controllers. It's a reusable concept which you can apply to a loot of stuff. On the other hand, in my experience it can be very tricky and cumbersome to
