  • What was the last skill you learned and how?

  • Nice, AI with half of the suspicion removed.

    Does it save you a lot of time, what do you use it for? I have a somewhat old GPU but have been considering something like this to comb manuals. Does it have a file size constraint?

  • What higher/specialized ed do you have? How'd it help you get/keep your job?

  • edit: I don't like this diatribe I went on. I rescind it.

  • Cool! I'll probably try climbing some day, since sportsball never motivated me to stick on. (And bc of the functional muscle vs. gym muscle stereotype.)

    As for infinite Indiana Jones... I'm trying my best to keep the songs I whistle different haha

  • Yeah the market has definitely toughened regarding college degrees, since the 80s. (Maybe bc they're more common now? If that's a good thing or not.)

    Funny enough, Reddit likes to say

    • cs bachelor's degree and 2yr experience is better than master's and none (I've always doubted whether that's a real widespread thing)
    • trades make bank ezpz (I hear that relies on a good apprenticeship which can be hard to get)

    Also: would you say the choice of undergrad matters in UK tech?

    slop creator

  • Nice. kdenlive or something else?

    Also -- upscale video? Don't you run it through some real esrgan thing and wait for forever? I'm working on trying to upscale a video right now but my GPU is ancient

  • What'd you learn it for (I personally don't see it often so you likely live near a Cyrillic-heavier region) and how? Also

  • I can take a pen apart...

    Did you have a lot of prior handy experience or did you follow a video? This is a bit vague on the how( ' ﹋ ' ; )

  • Done.

    • How dangerous really is your job?
    • What happens if you get injured? Insurance/etc.?
    • What differences do you have when performing for adults vs. children? (since you mention child-friendly, I assume that means you don't do things that might scare them)
    • What are your least tame skills?
    • How did you get into performing in the sideshow? Mentors, training, string of coincidences?
    • Favorite memory?
    • Any frightening memories?

    Sorry for the wall x)

  • My French is shit but here's what I got from the comments:

    person: I am illiterate; what does it say?

    person2: I hope it says that the English like glitter. Please, let it be that.

    person3: <link to post with English commenters, presumably to run browser translate on it>

    person2: As I thought -_-

    Jeggs: Sorry for the English language! It says “British meeting point.”

    person4: Reminder of rule 3 of this community🤬 Mean things are shit.

  • It's places like that where "I don't know what I don't know."

    • How did you realize you were squatting wrong?
    • How did you figure out the right way?

    e.g. dumbbell row-like exercises all feel odd and disbalanced to me but idk what idk (is it form? body type? ask a doctor/trainer? check an authoritative blog that isnt SEO-spicy enough for search engines?)

  • :0

    every sentence there makes me want more details

  • What is your directory structure like for programming?

    Jump

  • Building on this, I recommend zoxide instead of only fzfing or regexping.

    For people who like to keep everything they ever create, like college students, you can use z 18.04/1 to get to a directory like ~/hw/random-school/fresh-1/analysis-18.04/pset1.

    Lets you nest without fear.

    (Also, about your question: I've personally used ~/git/<projname>/ and ~/git/<org>/<projname> at the same time -- e.g. ~/git/aur/fuzzel-git)

  • So assuming you saved $900, and you worked 45 to 90 minutes a day for two weeks, then your total work was between 10.5 and 21 hours, which maths out to between $42 and $85 an hour. Plus the convenience of dodging the modern disaster they call smart cars.

    Amazing. I'd be content running into a car problem and fixing it for half the savings. Hopefully YouTube will serve me well when the time comes :P

    What would you say was the hardest part (effort or instructional accuracy wise)?

  • Nice! How long did it take, and did you hit any roadblocks?

    Must've saved a lot of money there.

  • What's an example of something that was just done right the first time round?

  • This comment is a time capsule goddamn

  • Do people use Autotools in new projects anymore?

    Jump

  • Wow, you're right, autotools dev work started a decade prior to Linux 0.01's release. And looking deeper into ./configure, there looks to be checks running here that only matter on old Solaris systems...

    At least it's not node_modules

    They call it a polyfill because it polyfills your disk

  • Terrible bait

    Is that considered bait? I'll remove it, I don't mean to be hostile.

    What do you mean by "more powerful" wrt CMake? Are you referring to, say, integration abilities with other projects (since know CMake is really widely-used)?

    Thanks for the advice and the example!

  • Do people use Autotools in new projects anymore?

    Jump

  • Yeah I was considering using one of these two, out of curiosity.

    I've heard complaints about CMake... on pre-2015 forums, so I don't know where it's at now.

    I've done very little from the developer side of Meson but I do recall having tried a sound theme that, inexplicably, had a Meson-based installer. (It was just .ogg files iirc.) That's probably a good sign if someone picked it over an install.sh

    Though you're right, there's probably little advantage in me not using a Makefile here, except again, curiosity

  • Which mythical deity / being would be the most enjoyable to snack upon?

    Jump

  • Gonna eat all the Wuxia pills.

    Heavenly Pearl pill? Nom. Nine Color White Lotus pill? Nom. Holy Flame pill? Nom. You refine it, I dine it.

    Once I eat all the dānyào Mike 'n' Ikes I'll either leave the room a Dragon Warrior or I'll meet Master Oogway in the spirit realm. Maybe he can give me advice on the Daoist approach on debugging C++ multithreading.

    If my soul evaporates it'll be a bummer tho
