fucking useless, highly addictive

MSFS 2020 runs fine with proton and my thrustmaster gear. 2024 still has a lot of issues to my knowledge, I haven’t tried that yet.

good time to not have a ~/Documents and keep backups encrypted off site

this probably won’t change anything for end-users, but transpiling 1.5M LOC from TS in 5.7s is pretty impressive.

sure, you can store the config in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/your-app-name/ (the var usually defaults to ~/.config/).

In two apps, maybe two different phones too, for redundancy.

Sounds like it could be published as a PyPI package, then used with uvx or pipx.

I didn’t think masturbation needed the advocacy, but here we are.

that is an ungodly 40 minute read without much of a takeaway. Here’s the AI generated tl;dr

The author recounts a reluctant experience with public speaking, stemming from a past incident where he discussed topics beyond his audience’s expectations. Despite initially hesitating, he revives his experience to talk about “Computers in the Movies,” drawing parallels between the portrayal of computers in films and real technological advances. The author highlights the impact of movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey and WarGames in depicting computers as both helpers and threats, often reflecting societal fears about technology. He contrasts Hollywood’s dramatizations with today’s mundane reality of technology, pointing out how things like email and PowerPoint have subtly influenced our behaviors and thinking, suggesting that our relationship with technology is akin to addiction rather than dependency. Transitioning to modern development practices, the author critiques tools like Visual Studio and features like IntelliSense for shaping, perhaps simplifying, programming methods. Despite these tools’ capabilities, he fears they undermine coding skills by promoting faster but potentially less thoughtful programming. Finally, he reflects on the shift from traditional coding, highlighting the value of returning to basic coding tasks to rediscover the joy of pure algorithmic programming, away from the complexity of modern integrated development environments and pre-written frameworks.
