AMD vs Intel: Which CPUs Are Better in 2024? [Winner: AMD]
  • On Linux VA-API works really well for AMD video encoding. I have a small home server with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and my experience has been excellent.

    The only downside is that some companies decided hardware decoding violated some patent and disabled hardware encoding in the default va-api package. You just need to switch to the freeworld version of va-api and everything works well.

  • It's okay to say this about your own body but please don't force it on others
  • I have a question, in your understanding can you deconstruct gravity? Follow-up question, would deconstructing gravity have any effect that observable to people at large?

    I am a through and through progressive. I just think that the idea of deconstructing “natural laws” is somewhere between silly and pointless.

  • It's okay to say this about your own body but please don't force it on others
  • Soulism, also known as anarcho-antirealism, is a school of anarchist thought which views reality and natural laws as unjust hierarchies.

    Someone saw what conservatives think progressives are and decided to made it a thing.

  • China’s online ultranationalists feel the heat over Japanese school bus attack
  • We should be careful about normalizing the use of scmp as a news source here. While they can be reputable in some areas, at large they are quite biased.

    I would hope that people here don’t want this community to take the same path as the .ml news communities.

  • For me it’s less effort because everything that I want just works out of the box. The totally of my configuration is under 10 lines. I don’t want to have to mess with nested config files each dozens to hundred of lines long most of which I will not understand just to code.

    Also helix is different in that it uses the selection then action workflow. Vim is action then selection which is less nice for me.

    In helix if I want to delete a function I would do: ESC -> space -> f -> d

    Which means: Normal mode then lsp menu then next function then delete.

    In vim I would have to delete then select what to delete which I don’t like.

  • To get to the point where I could feel like not an idiot maybe 3 hours of actual programming time.

    To get to the point where I was a slow yet productive programmer it took maybe 12 hours of actual programming time.

    To get faster than I was at Jetbrains IDEs that took like maybe ~24 hours of actual programming time.

    I strongly recommend:

    1. remapping caps lock to escape.
    2. disabling the arrow keys in all modes.

    After I did these two things, I got better faster. It’s frustrating but totally worth it. Now when I’m on my laptop I just use helix and qutebrowser under the sway desktop environment. It’s a 100% mouse free experience and it’s just faster and better in every way.

  • I know exactly how you feel. I did eventually end up finding an open source solution that worked for me though. After trying a few things I ended up on the helix text editor + the Rust LSP.

    It took me a while to get to the point where I could code as fast as I could in Jetbrains IDEs but I got there and am now even faster than I used to be.

    It was hard but very worth it.

  • What's the worst invention of the 21st century?
  • I’m sorry. I can see how someone with very thick fingers might struggle.

    My father has a similar issue. I watched him write a message on his phone and I think I found the issue with him. He cared very much about the accuracy of each letter. Doing so made him slow and caused a lot of unhappiness.

    My advice to him was to stop caring and just trust autocorrect. It will autocorrect away mistakes and enables people to write quickly. But if you try to get everything letter perfect as you go there is no point to it. It’s a different mindset.

    As for programming yah I understand the discomfort here too. I slow down a bit when at the command line on my phone too. Particularly with the flags and such. I recommend the fish shell though. It has an amazing autocomplete set of features above and beyond even zsh. It’s not just looking at histories. It looks at man files and gives autocomplete recommendations. Just Ctrl-F to complete.

    As for programming, I have to ask, do you program on your phone? I would use my laptop here.

  • What's the worst invention of the 21st century?
  • My “raw” error rate is quite high. My actual output error rate is quite low. I can’t speak for swipe keyboards though. I just use the standard tap keyboard. For me the in context predictive autocorrect works wonders.

    With my old keyboard phone things were slower because I had to press down on physical buttons. With a touch keyboard I just lightly touch type without the need for effort or rechecking. It all just works out.

    As for me I could never go back to a slide out setup. It was very klutzy and thick. Like 2cm thick. Crazy.

    I’m happy with touch keyboards because they are faster for me and enable things like folding phones. But to each their own.

    Thanks for showing me how passionate you are here. :)

    Edit: the ellipsis leads me to believe that you might have been into tech while the n900 was around. You write with the passion of a n900 user. Did you have one?

  • what's a good open source license for a book?
  • But selling other peoples’ labor would introduce it to the capitalist system. Not saying that makes you a capitalist. Just saying some people might want to keep their art out of that system.

  • What's the worst invention of the 21st century?
  • I can type faster on my keyboard free phone then I could with my old phone with a qwertz keyboard.

    Plus when I’m not typing I get more screen real estate. It’s a total win win for me. Not bad at all.

  • You’re Not Imagining It: Texas Is Getting More Humid
  • You need to relax a bit. No one is denying climate change here. (At least at the time I am writing this)

    While I do agree with you that many Americans are, in fact, dumb, you should drop the use of slurs. They’re not conducive to a healthy environment and they make you look like an edgy 13 year old.
