Oh. This is seriously cool. Thank you.

Oh! You meant Moore's Law is asymptotic!?

Yes! That is key to the joke I was making.

wat.

When I say Big O, I'm talking about the slick jazzy anime about rejecting true love and living with heartbreak because we believe a lie about our own superiority. This is always true, no matter what the discussion context. If I happen to say anything remotely relevant to mathematical Big O, that is just a deeply weird coincidence.

Fantastic summary. For anyone wondering how to get really really valuable in IT, this is a great write-up of why my top paid people are my top paid people.

Write more robust code.

Sure, I could read a book about best practices and Big O...but...What if we just table the idea for a few iterations of Moore's Law instead?

As a SteamDeck player, does this mean I can start saying I use Arch, by the way?

This gives off a strong "I have black friends." vibe.

Those are all a signs of a curious mind, which is a big plus. There's also signs of not being a team player, and my job is to build a team.

So it all depends how the candidate communicates themselves.

The sweet spot is finding a new team member who is sure they'll convince my team to change tools, but is committed to embracing our current tools until they win over the rest of the team.

As fun as it is to see Everett thump someone, the bits where he takes a well deserved kick in the ass are even better.

I'm a fan of us all controlling our violent tendencies, in real life, but it's a giggle in comic form.

Ubuntu was a big part of my path to full time Linux use. I adore everyone who has contributed to Ubuntu.

But also, Snaps are bullshit, and are why I replaced all my Ubuntu installs with Debian.

Canonical doesn't get to pretend to be surprised by the backlash for pushing an unnecessary closed proprietary platform on their freedom seeking users.

I still adore everyone at Canonical and in the Ubuntu community, for all they've done for the Linux community. Y'all still rock. Thanks!

We've made their point...a person can survive fireball by making the three death saving throws. Exactly how a fine pile of ash and dust can!

PSA - MineTest on SteamDeck (blog.rubenwardy.com)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by MajorHavoc@programming.dev to c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

MineTest on a SteamDeck is so fun, y'all.

(Edit: MineTest is a free and open source game engine that started as a clone of Minecraft, and has grown to be that, and much more.)

I would have tried it sooner, if someone had mentioned it to me, so I'm mentioning it to you.

Edit: Disclaimer, I'm not the author of this blog. It's the walkthrough I followed to start playing.
