That sounds… iffy. Thing is that UTC lags more and more behind TAI as UTC takes the earth’s rotation into account, introducing leap seconds so that all the timezones don’t slowly drift across the globe. Moon people care preciously little about the earth’s rotation around its own axis, more relevant is its own day/night cycle which (because tidal lock) is an earth month. The system might just be stable enough so that UTC can simultaneously sync to that, you’d have to ask an astronomer.
Actually, no, forget it: The moon moves quite fast relatively to the earth’s surface, more than enough for relativistic effects to apply – they also apply to GPS satellites, stuff simply wouldn’t work if those things ran on Newtonian maths. Sooner or later it’s going to need adjustments due to that.
The rate for your home PC is inconsequential, and the difference between a thin sheet of metal and lexan would have an inconsequential impact.
But flips are not inherently inconsequential. Coincidentally, a lot of my current work involves making sure we are not adversely affected by cosmic bit flips in safety-critical hardware.
If you have real data integrity needs, you shouldn’t be relying on off-the-shelf home PC parts. There’s real hardware and software for such applications.
Your basement is safe enough from cosmic rays for your personal needs.
Because it seems like you disliked them and “off” is one of the controllable options?
But I guess you are at a so advanced level of not giving a shit that you don’t even care that they dance around.
Not only is the box under my desk with the window facing the wall, you are correct, I wouldn’t give a shit if it weren’t. I was simply noting the irony of my “professional” equipment being the most frivolous.
I really don’t care about my OS UI since I’m barely actually using it, especially after a few minutes setting up one-click actions. Less than 1% of my time and effort on the computer.
Applications, on the other hand, is where I live and FUCKING HELL!!!
Look, if everyone just decided on a style and everyone went with it within a system I’d be okay with that. It’s not great but at least it wouldn’t be jarring.
But having to live by the whim of 50 different app designers is disgusting. I just want to have a good time, not learn 50 different interfaces.
Though my thoughts on it would also stifle new ideas. So that’s bad.
Enhancement? No, everything I have a problem with is explicitly intended behavior and GNOME devs are infamous for their everyone is stupid except me mentality
Does Gnome/GTK have an issue board where users vote on issues?
Free software development is not a democracy, and does not get driven by polls. Features and bugs are introduced by those who show up, within a community that works towards a shared goal.
I don’t believe the intentional behavior is desirable and would like to see what other users think.
That’s a dick way of saying fuck off but I mean they do provide a free service. If they have a vision and don’t want to deal with random people whining about it that’s their prerogative. Same as yours to find that utterly insufferable.
They do provide a free service (GTK’s file chooser), one that I find horrible and inconsistent (as per the thread) and intentionally so (on issues tangential to example that I found, although the proposed configurable behavior would be nice) - so I won’t even entertain the thought of trying and contributing to it, as it has been suggested.
I don’t know what is insufferable about that, other than the initial criticism…
It’s like getting into a car you haven’t driven before and you hit the wipers instead of the indicator ×1000. Or playing an FPS and E is now F, C is now Ctrl, X is Shift, and you tap+hold instead of tap. WHY?!?! You can remap, but suddenly there’s conflicting keys for shit the tutorial hasn’t even introduced to you yet, so you don’t know what you can or can’t get away with.
Some designer or dev has a personal opinion they think is better than everything else and now we all gotta live with it on the hopes that’ll be the new standard. And there’s so many of those arseholes and their DVORAK layouts and putting “Cancel” on the left and “Confirm” on the right of a dialogue popup. “I think it’s better this way and the world will thank my big brain!”
Wait confirm shouldn’t be on the right? Like I am 99% sure most windows pop-up/modal Dialogs had ok on the left and cancel on the right but I am not entirely sure about Linux (also factorio has them left to right as in “go back and go forward” but I dunno if that is RTL dependent…)
I’ve straight up ripped code from StackOverflow that worked… But I had no idea why or how it worked 😂 I taught myself Go and I’m decent at it, one of my coworkers was a former professional programmer who knew C and could fumble his way through Go. I later told him I had no idea what some of the code did because I did the old copy and paste and he just said “I knew you did” 😂
Thing is, I can express in Excel in 2 hours what takes two weeks to develop in production. And I’m not arguing against moving things onto a production footing. But hot damn, as a prototyping tool for how to treat data, Excel and Jupyter is near flawless.
vimtutor, which I believe is installed with vim by default
Edit: My brain apparently inserted an extra word that made it seem like you were seeking said program. Leaving it though for those wondering in the future.
Yeah, but imo the best way to learn vim is to do it as you go. You only really need to know getting in and out of insert and how to write and quit. Once you’ve got that, if you wanna do something and think there’s probably a better way than moving there with the arrow keys, look it up on the Internet, remember the thing, do it a few times and you’ve learned a new thing about vim. “Surely there’s a search and replace function” yeah, is substitute with the s command. “I wanna navigate quicker within lines” use f, t and their capital versions. Combine with the quickscope plugin and you’re golden. Learn the stuff you want to use, don’t memorize commands you don’t need
Escape first, because it wants to keep you inside the matrix and you need to tell it you are trying to escape
q!
Because you probably don’t want to save whatever you’ve accidentally done to that file trying to quit, and you have to add an exclamation point because unless you yell loudly at vim it won’t listen
