It would, but it does not have SATA. You can find much cheaper computers that do have it

For a server like this 4GB of DDR4 is enough. And that is cheap still.

Linux really is the reason I dont' play anymore. Thank you linux.

Actually, I remember that on iceland they were injecting CO2 into rock, and it was shipped to them from ... Swicerland, I think, in shipping tanks. It was captured from concrete manufacturing plants, which apparently produce a ton if it. So there you go - cheap CO2 is not a problem

Let's separate CO2 from atmosphere and use it to run such generators. Win win. But don't ask physics about this top much

That's a good point, months would need new names. And dates should have some other format, maybe a F prefix: FYYYY-MM-DD

Ah, another oppurtunity to bring up international fixed calendar that could reuse the calendar every year!

Let's say I manage an engineering department. How could I promote people who build simple software?

Which animal is this? Otter?

Woah, they take the blame and apologize. This is not often seen and commands respect.

[–] verstra@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

This looks ... great.

Ha. Lol. That's bad

 

If imperioum has made a mistake a sent a man that was released back to some other level, how does that tell prisoners that all released inmates are just being sent to another prison?

For the last year, I've been working on a query language that aims to replace SQL and data frame libraries. It's continuation of my work on PRQL and EdgeQL.

Now I need feedback on usability, ergonomics and overall design. Read trough the examples, check out the CLI & tell me what could be better.

Is anyone here running Sandstorm? If yes, what's your experience?

I really like the idea of "grains" where an instance of the app runs for each document/project/unit of data your app has. It does improve security a lot, because it is very similar as running root-less docker.

I also like the unified auth and user management sandstorm provides.

 

I've played driller with all possible weapons and when going on a haz 5 dreadnought mission, I figured cryo was the best main weapon.

And it sucked. Real low damage output. I've tried to freeze it and then throw the axe, but it was not dealing much damage.

Is it just me, or should we be picking 2 engies and 2 gunners for dreadnoughts?

 

I don't have much to say, only that I expected flutter to be a bloated fragile abstraction on top of different native GUI APIs, but no.

It's quite fast, relatively easy to develop and it just works.

I'm working on a desktop app that needs a high-perf rust impl, and (for now) flutter looks like a much better choice than tauri.

 

When I was in high school I found Sublime Text and learned "multiple cursors". Since then, I've transitioned to vscode, mainly because I need LSP (without too much configuration work) for my work.

I keep hearing about how modal editing is faster and I would like to switch to a more performant editor. I've been looking at helix, as the 4th generation of the vi line of editors. Is anyone using it? Is it any good for the main code editor?

The problem that I have is that learning new editing keybindings would probably take me a month of time, before I get to the same amount of productivity (if I ever get here at all). So I'm looking for advice of people who have already done that before.

My code editing does involve a lot of "ctrl-arrow" to move around words, "ctrl-shift-arrow" to select words, "home/end" to move to beginning/end of the line, "ctrl-d" for "new cursor at next occurrence", "shift-alt-down" for "new cursor in the line below", "ctrl-shift-f" for "format file" and a few more to move around using LSP-provided "declaration"/"usages".

I would have to unlearn all of that.

Also, I do use "ctrl-arrow" to edit this post. Have you changed keybindings in firefox too?

 

An interesting take. Not sure if it goes here.

 

I'd expect the state to have a list of all its citizens and their basic personal info (age) which could be used to determine their eligibility for voting. In my country, we get a "invitation" to the vote, with your voter station and info on how to change it.

Instead, I'm seeing posts about USA's "voter rolls", which are sometimes purged, which prevents people from voting. Isn't this an attack on the voting system and democracy itself?

So why doesn't USA have a list of voters? Are they stupid?
