Comments are lies that will happen sometime in the future

Comments are always overlooked if gode gets refactored. Language servers can’t/won’t parse them and they’re easy to overlook.

If you name your functions/variables clearly, put complex logic into clearly named functions and keep the same level of abstraction in every function (which never exceeds roughly 50 lines), you hardly need any comments, if any.

Comments are for behavior that’s not possible to convey clearly through code.

To give the org credit, they found and fixed the problem – a typo in a script, apparently – but as a result, the sequencing of the demos was disrupted and the result was a little confusing.

I’m gonna quote this, the next time my boss asks why we need a thorough testing culture.

Edit: Also: language servers and static code checkers safe money, so don’t hassle me about why I need to config neovim while clocked in.

I really can’t stand Linux Cast’s style and don’t get why he is on this and not Brodie Robertson.

Linux cast is just rambling most of the time, having a hard time getting to the point, while Brodie has some wit and humor. I also don’t like his clickbait video titles and how every second video feels like it’s about tiling WMs (we get it: tiling WMs are cool).

I’m aware that this might just be an involuntary anti-fat bias speaking, though.

Why am I laughing? I don’t know any of these languages?

It’s been a while, so I’m quite rusty, especiallyeon the terminology, but I think we modelled feasible sequences of finite and infinite state machines using regexes.

That’s how I was forced to learn 'em in uni. ;)

Regexes are actually used in formal computer science (if that’s the right term), i.e. “proof that this and that algorithm won’t deadlock” or something like that.

They’re actually really elegant and can cover a lot. But you’ll have to learn them by using them.

There’s a quite active community of people running linux on surface devices back on reddit.

Gabe Newell has been openly critizicing Microsoft for quite some time now and therefore, Valve has been pro Linux for years.

It is not too far fetched that the Steamdeck is their second attempt to make Linux gaming more widespread after the failed “Steamboxes”. This and they took the opportunity to make a PC-Switch knock-off when the market was perfectly ready for it.

That’s probably because there’s no native linux client. Elden Ring runs great on Steam Deck (Valve even precompiled the shaders for the Steam Deck, because the PC port constantly compiles them on the fly, leading to stuttering)

That’s not accurate anymore. Canonical has dropped the ball lately (one word: snaps). Pop OS is way more sensible for gaming.

It’s an estimation since proton has made such giant leaps. When a new game releases, you can assume that it runs on linux.

They do work without steam. Steam has just streamlined the process.

And of course you’d need a compatibility layer (e.g. wine/proton). But those aren’t dependant on Valve. Even though they’ve definetly benefited from their involvement.

Ubuntu was kind of dethroned in the last several years (Canonical has shit the bed a bit). For a gaming focus, I’d rather suggest Bazzite (SteamOS alternative), or ChimeraOS.

If you want something a bit less gaming focused and traditional: Try Pop! Os

Can someone ELI5 why this is so great? I watched the video and I hardly get it. (Linux user for 18 years)

I see, thanks.

Let’s hope that the project will see the light at some point. ;)

Here’rs the project page

Here’s the sourge code repo

Louis Rossman is usually legit, but I definetly understand your wearyness. OP should do better.

Why isn’t it FOSS? The licence is clearly a quick and dirty fix. But it’s clear, that a libre approach is being made.

Please do not automatically equate FOSS with “free as in beer”/gratis.

They do link to the sourde code and the website in the video description.

The lemmy post could be better, though.

The NAS thing is really weird, because that shit’s what linux is really good at. Hell, your NAS probably has linux runningon it.

Unfortunately, that info is not enough to help you troubleshoot the problem.

This is not about the dictionary, but about historical movements/strains of thought. The french “socialisme libertaire” is the term they used in 18th century France. And libertarian socialism aims for the freedom of all people from rulers.
