Skyhighatrist , to gaming in GTA 5 Drifitng update is awesome

His channel really went to shit over the past few years.

Skyhighatrist , to pcgaming in ‘The Day Before’ Developer Shuts Down Four Days After Launch

Nothing except that it’s an example of them being a patient gamer.

Skyhighatrist , to games in Baldur's Gate 3 out now on Xbox

I’m pretty sure they meant day 1 on x-box. X-Box players get to play the polished version of the game from the moment they get it. They get the version that already has all of those patches on day one.

Are you using a VPN?

Skyhighatrist , to games in Bethesda Is Responding to Negative Reviews of Starfield on Steam

I’m not sure the game is popular enough to get quite the modding support of the community like previous Bethesda games.

Skyhighatrist , to worldnews in Sweden denies Polish official's claim its preschools have "masturbation rooms"

Fortunately I work from home, so I don’t need a masturbation station at some shared office.

Skyhighatrist , to linux in Window snapping

If i3 was a bit too involved for you but you generally like the idea of a tiling window manager you might prefer AwesomeWM.

Skyhighatrist , (edited ) to programmerhumor in would you write web app with this?

That’s really only native compiled languages. Many popular languages, such as C#, Java, etc. Lie somewhere in between. They get compiled to intermediary byte code and only go native as the very final step when running. They run in a runtime environment that handles that final step to execute the code natively. For .NET languages that’s the CLR (Common Language Runtime).

For .Net the process goes like this:

  • You write the code
  • Code is compiled to MSIL
  • At runtime when the MSIL is executing a JIT (just-in-time) compiler translates the MSIL into native code.
  • The native code is executed.

Java has a similar process that runs on the JVM. This includes many, many languages that run on the JVM.

JavaScript in the browser goes through a similar process these days without the intermediary byte code. Correction, JS in modern browsers also follow this process almost exactly. a JIT compiler compiles to bytecode which is then executed by the browser’s JS engine. Historically JS has been entirely interpreted but that’s no longer the case. Pure interpreted languages are pretty few and far between. Most we think of as interpreted are actually compiled, but transparently as far as the dev is concerned.

Last, but certainly not least, Python is also a compiled language, it’s just usually transparent to the developer. When you execute a python program, the python compiler also produces an intermediary bytecode that is then executed by the python runtime.

All that being said, I welcome any corrections or clarifications to what I’ve written.

Skyhighatrist , to pcgaming in The Sims gets competition from Korea: inZOI - Gameplay Demo

Looks promising, but if it’s going to have any hope of unseating The Sims, it’s going to need strong modding support.

Skyhighatrist , to technology in YouTube intensifies fight against ad blockers showing pop-ups, and users are frustrated | Blocking ad-block users

The only issue I have with freetube is that I sometimes like to click on the recommended videos on YouTube’s front page. If I switch to freetube entirely, I’ll lose that. But if uBlock doesn’t continue to work I will make the switch and the YouTubers I wouldn’t normally see just won’t get my views any longer.

Skyhighatrist , to technology in YouTube intensifies fight against ad blockers showing pop-ups, and users are frustrated | Blocking ad-block users

Probably just lucky. They didn’t roll it out to all Firefox users at once. I got it several days after other Firefox users started reporting getting the popup. I followed the instructions to update my quick fix list in uBlock and it’s gone again. However, the first time I did it it came back after a day, so it may just be a never ending game of whack a mole.

Skyhighatrist , to linux in What's your preferred DE?

I’m currently using KDE Plasma with i3. I like it fine. I love i3, and KDE works to tie everything together and add consistency for theming. Previously I was using i3 on XFCE, that was easier to set up. Plasma tends to require special configuration to make it play nice with i3, but once you’re over that hump it makes for a pretty decent combination.

Skyhighatrist , to nostupidquestions in What is the name of the building at festivals located opposite the stage where the cameramen and lighting crews are located?

It’s not actually a mistake. It’s a word that has been in use for 200+ years with its first recorded use in 1795. It’s controversial, but it appears in dictionaries and is a synonym for regardless. Love it or hate it language changes with time and when enough people use a word it becomes a part of the language.

Skyhighatrist , to nostupidquestions in What is the name of the building at festivals located opposite the stage where the cameramen and lighting crews are located?

I hate it too, but irregardless has officially been a word in dictionaries for years now.

Skyhighatrist , to technology in Any idea what Google are doing? Is this because I dont use Chrome (use Firefox)? I've no adblockers.

Yeah, I just commented to another user about the same things. Seems they’re doing some A/B testing or something like it. No worries, I understand uBlock has an update available that addresses it already.
