Don’t use steam from the Debian repository. Especially not if you’re on the stable branch. Steam simply moves to fast for stable.

Try downloading the steam flatpak. That’s the way I always run it and haven’t had any issues.

I’ve used pine64 boards for this. They have a few more options and are always available.

Yeah it does. I actually use nix as my base OS on one machine. But when I need to work on a project that will never be packaged with nix, and I need all the dependencies, it really becomes impossible to just use nix.

Nix makes an amazing bas OS, however.

I use it to share environments with a small team. Just have distrobox specific Docker files and we can all spin up the same distrobox environment locally.

We end up having a different base docker file (e.g. our distrobox one has editors and stuff), but we all share the same project specific docker file. That same project specific file gets used in CI/CD and deployment, but with a minimal base. So all in all, I would say it's even better than Vagrant because we run the same system in production.

Yeah that's totally fair. It's definitely far from perfect. Although, I do like that it provides at least some level of isolation.

That's a super interesting idea. I will have to give that a shot!

Right now I just use flatpak for all my gaming needs and shared things like browsers, slack, etc.

Keeping my fingers crossed that it would be a Definitive Edition feature, if nothing else.

Thanks! And it looks like such a beautiful setup.

What keyboard is that?

I feel like this is a trend with dynamic languages that have a REPL. I’ve done a lot of Common Lisp in the past, and had the same feeling.

The best way to get over this is to pop open the python REPL and start playing around with the options and functions. It takes very little ceremony to get a nice example rolling.

https://realpython.com/python-repl/ has some nice advice and tips on extra things you can do in the REPL.

I am happy about this change. I wanted some extra damage out of the spell, but instead it just got mobbed and lucky if it got a turn.

If I just wanted a distraction, minor illusion doesn’t use a spell slot.

Alacritty is also the terminal that feels small and focused enough for me. Too many other terminals try to do everything like session management, etc.

You could also run Gentoo on it. Quite a few people are running it successfully: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Jared/Gentoo_On_An_M1_Mac

Yes! That would be the best. We should have access to our hardware. And just like most things you want to keep around for a long time (e.g. cars) you will have to tinker with it to keep it running smoothly into old age.

For sure there are better abstractions that would help. I still think that they only help with over abstraction to a certain point. Digging 5 classes deep just to figure out what's actually happening is just as, if not more, frustrating than digging 5 functions deep.

Yeah, I've seen this a ton. And it sucks because it's always done with good intentions.

That's why I think that if you need small helpers keep them short and prevent them from going too deep. Nothing is worse than digging through 10 layers of functions just to figure out what's going on.

Seriously though, I recently posted an article there and literally half the replies were obvious ChatGPT bots summarizing the article.
