It’s the best way to keep everyone calm with all those guns around

How does one train a cat to make waffles? Asking for a friend

Most steam games just work. Make sure to go to settings and compatibility and let it use compatibility for all games. Look at something like bottles for a front-end to let you set up and use wine / proton for other launchers, etc….

You’ve never seen a scaly manfish show somebody their downstairs mixup? Have you never been fishing?

I can’t believe they’re going through with it. The last (only orbital) test flight had serious problems.

PumpkinEscobar ,

Interesting, I don’t know how I missed that, I follow a lot of space news. Thanks for the info / correction, definitely not as crazy given the second test that reached the ISS.

What an awful god damn tweet. Are the tariffs to combat Chinese governmental meddling? If so, great. If not then they’re protectionist stupidity that’s sure to draw a response. This tweet sure makes it sound like it’s the latter. sigh

Automated testing is often more cost effective than manual testing. Not to say 100% automated testing is a reasonable goal. But I’ve never worked anywhere without some automated testing (unit, integration or end-to-end).

Agreed, the meta+arrow shortcuts to move windows around are great. That defaults to half/quarter windows. You can also define a custom layout (meta+t to configure). The meta+arrow shortcuts still work on half/quarters of the screen, but you can shift+drag a window to drop it into one of the custom layout tiles/areas... gives a lot of flexibility.

Went to one of the sanctuaries around Hobart, their odor is pretty rough. I saw it described as smelling like a smelly wet dog, and it's definitely like that, but combined with like a "skunk, but one that evolved on the other side of the planet" smell.

2.5 GbE NOT 25. That’s the funkiest clickbait bullshit I’ve seen in a while.

PumpkinEscobar ,

Yeah, meant the website title, but in truth it’s tough to tell what’s astroturfing bots vs people here. And honestly these things with 6 2.5GbE ports is plenty impressive, not sure why the website felt the need to goose it like they did.

There are a lot of tiny PCs these days that can output 4k video and audio. Look for something with an N100 or N200 CPU if you want to go as cheap as possible, they tend to be super-cheap and perform well. I've got one of the GMTecs and this wireless keyboard+mouse, works really well from the couch.

There are cheaper/other options but to get you started:

Just a note, the orange pi drivers are not in great shape. It’s getting better but I have a cluster of raspberry pi’s for development, bought an orange pi without first checking out much about them and it’s rough. Rockchip CPUs are great, and the driver / firmware situation is getting better, but something I’d read up on before buying one.

I’d still look at the N100, it’s about 2.5x the performance of raspberry pi 5, and being x86 you have more options than arm.

50% according to this article. They mention 80% in 1860.

I'm not 100% sure of the source there but I have heard similar numbers around 50%. Think of all the self-employed people doing jobs that just don't exist today in the US - delivering milk, fruit, fish, newspapers, door-to-door salesmen, and that's on top of jobs that still exist today with a lot of self-employed people like AC repair, plumbing, etc...

Like, people would just sit around, look each other in their stupid faces and talk? Gross. /s

PumpkinEscobar ,

spherical, but pointy in parts

It's a good thing a lot of elderly voters who can't make it to a polling location don't vote Republican. Oh wait...

PumpkinEscobar ,

dumbest fucking timeline. A subscription for a feature that requires no infrastructure and is part of the physical thing you just paid $40k for.

PumpkinEscobar ,

Well look, I already told you, I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills, I am good with dealing with people, can't you understand that!? What the hell is wrong with you people!?

PumpkinEscobar ,

There's also oh-my-posh, which was originally a powershell prompt, but it was rewritten as a go application that works on (I think all) mainstream shells.

PumpkinEscobar ,

That’s a valid take. I will say I think using her birth name does more to highlight the fact that nobody named Nimrata could secure the republican nomination. And also that it’s a little sad that someone would try to hide their heritage to win the votes of people who clearly don’t like who they are.

How to get feedback on visually-impaired accessibility for web apps?

Hello! I'm making changes to a web app that involves some aria classes, and I read the docs about how they work, but I'm not real confident in my ability to construct them into something that produces a well-usable experience for someone who's using the app. Is there a good way to get direct feedback from someone who uses a...

There is a WAVE browser extension and some others, you can also use one of the screen readers yourself. I think that’s actually really helpful. I haven’t done that in a while but I remember when I did the screen reader functioned pretty differently than I thought it would

Side note: My education doesn’t seem nearly as enlightened as yours. A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn covers the darker side of Columbus’s expeditions in great detail and its eye opening. I knew there was whitewashing of Columbus but wasn’t prepared for the amount/severity.

Fun fact: this book is also published by Harper Collins.

PumpkinEscobar ,

Sounds like maybe Trump has dementia.

Shorting the hell out of this one.

My bet is that their valuation is going to be ridiculous and the price will drop like a rock for at least 6 months to a year
