  • What is something (feature, modes, settings...) you would like to see become a standard in video games?

    Jump

  • Here's a really small and easy to fix pet peeve of mine: graphics options that cycle through the levels of fidelity with inconsistent scales. I like to set my graphics to max, try it out, and then adjust down where needed. It's very annoying if a game doesn't stop where the max option is, so if it's currently at "High" I have no idea if the next option to the right is going to be "Very High" or "Low" again. So I often end up overshooting the highest setting and having to go back one, or purposefully going to the lowest setting and then one further.

  • Any good Cities Skylines-style game with support for bike lanes, bus lanes, bike paths and pedestrian paths?

    Jump

  • I don't have a complete list right now unfortunately, but here are some off the top of my head, all on the steam workshop:

    • Traffic Manager President Edition: set speed limits, restrict vehicle access and manage traffic priority
    • Road Builder: create your own road assets from scratch with highly configurable car & bike lane layouts
    • Transfer Manager: control the flow and active area of service and delivery vehicles
    • Intersection Marking Tool: allows you to paint intersections to get continuous bike paths, shark teeth indicating yielding, etc

    Also, I highly recommend the Plazas & Promenades DLC. It adds native support for pedestrian-only areas that only need service points at their outer border for deliveries and services. I've had quite a lot of success just making large parts of the city pedestrian zones and guiding delivery vehicles through a few central arteries with service points. If you combine this with the mods from above you can get a city with a modal split rivaling the Dutch.

  • You can get very close with C:S mods, for example road builder will let you design roads with pretty much any lane configuration you want including bike and pedestrian areas. I'm a very anti-car person and I love C:S because it lets me build a city the way I wish my hometown was. You just have to tweak the game a bit to get away from the car-centric starting progression.

  • Why does this community, which is privacy oriented, use Discord rather than Matrix?

    Jump

  • Nowhere in the post does OP claim that Discord's privacy issues are China related...

  • What weird idioms/phrases does your language have?

    Jump

  • No I am not sure actually, it might very well be! Both would make sense conceptually but I never actually looked into which one it is

  • We say "das ist mir Wurst" in Hamburg too, so it must be a pretty universal saying.

    Is Mietschuldenfreiheitsbescheinigung used in a saying? The only meaning I can think of is the literal one (attestation of no rental debt)

  • What weird idioms/phrases does your language have?

    Jump

  • I'm from Hamburg and I know the majority of these as well, but some are a bit different. Here's some variations on yours:

    • Das macht den Kohl auch nicht fett (that doesn't fatten up the cabbage)
    • Herr, lass Hirn vom Himmel regnen! (lord, let it rain brains!)
    • Wie ein Schluck Wasser in der Kurve (like a sip of water turning a corner) - sitting very lazily/not upright

  • If it's in the minified front end code it's already client side, of course you don't show it to the user but they could find out if they wanted to. Server side errors are where you really have to watch out not to give out any details, but then logging them is also easier since it's already on the server.

  • Shortcuts app allowing more background automations

    Jump

  • When any message with some contents is received - Right now this is limited to a list of contacts. I'd like to have a shortcut where someone could text me, "Where are you?" and it'll just auto-send my location.

    You can already do this! Just leave the Sender field on "Choose" and fill out the Message Contains field only.

  • I like Python def

    Jump

  • Well, I think for a 9 year old it's fine. I think the stage where you would run into issues is when trying to get into "actual" software development, where the flexibility in scoping and typing afforded by Python can lead to some bad habits (e.g. overusing global/shared variables, declaring them from within functions, catching errors late instead of validating data first, ...)

    I don't have a ton of experience with it but I think C# strikes a pretty good balance between strictness and beginner-friendliness. Modern Java isn't all that bad either, though it doesn't have very good options for fun things to build. But again, I don't think this necessarily applies to a child; I'm an educator at a university so both my target audience and point of reference are freshman compsci students.

  • Interview - ‘Capitalism is dead. Now we have something much worse’: Yanis Varoufakis on extremism, Starmer, and the tyranny of big tech

  • In a socialist system he would still be allowed to sell his own work and profit from his labor. Your point makes no sense

  • I like Python def

    Jump

  • I was brought up on Python and also do not like it for a variety of reasons, both practical and by personal preference. I also have the opinion that if you are trying to learn software engineering it is not a good language to start out with, despite it being so easy to pick up at first.

    Some people try to use Python's popularity as a counterpoint, and while it does show that my view is a minority opinion, it's not a very convincing argument for the language itself.

  • anyone who likes logical consistency

    That's the neat part, they don't.

  • Desktop app for ChatGPT?

    Jump

  • Do keep in mind that if you upgrade your regular RAM this will only benefit models running on the CPU, which are far slower than models on the GPU. So with more RAM you may be able to run bigger models, but when you run them they will also be more than a literal order of magnitude slower. If you want a response within seconds you would want to run that model on the GPU, where only VRAM counts.

    Probably in the near future there will be models that perform much better at consumer device scale, but for now unfortunately it's still a pretty steep tradeoff, especially since large VRAM hasn't really been in high demand and is therefore much harder to come by.

  • Need Suggestions: MacBook or Windows Laptop?

    Jump

  • How does she feel about the MacBook keyboard? I personally quite like it, now that they're normal again, but especially for an aspiring writer I think that is a pretty significant criterium.

  • Desktop app for ChatGPT?

    Jump

  • "Runs locally" is a very different requirement and not one you'll likely be able to find anything for. There are smaller open source LLMs but if you are looking for GPT-4 level performance your device will not be able to handle it. Llama is probably your best bet, but unless you have more VRAM than any consumer gpu currently does , you'll have to go with lower size models which have lower quality output.

  • Go through your saved posts on Lemmy, what's something cool that you saved?

  • Well there's a couple interesting answers here already. Time to save this post so I can "come back to it" (aka forget...)

    "m=!0"... What the hell am I looking at?

    Jump

  • It's not code anyone is supposed to read or work with, this is the result of minifying it to be as short as possible. And from a quick glance what's happening is that a variable is set to correspond with whether the cursor is currently over a certain element. Not sure what's funny about this?
