I’m fairly confident that developers already do this. When the “ban hammer” comes down it is probably after analysing data trends for players.

I like to use asterisk spacing.

void main() {
/****/for (int i=0; i <10; ++I) {
/********/printf("hello world\n");
/********/printf("%d\n", i);
/****/}
}

I had a similar problem with hard lockups especially when doing package updates (Arch). After seeing a report on Gaming on Linux about the Nvidia 550 driver (I think it was that one) causing freezes, I uninstalled it and just ran on the intel igpu. Never had a single freeze again. Waited for 555 driver, installed that, and immediately got lockups during package updates (and randomly sometimes) again. I’ve now installed the nvidia-open package to see if it fixes it, and so far so good.

The other day I used the JetBrains AI to write some boilerplate code for me. The JetBrains AI code analyser then kicked in to tell me how poorly written the code was.

As a non European working for a European company, it is an interesting experience with non work times. The laws around working more than 8 hours a day are incredibly strict, and the company and all the managers will never ask or expect an employee to work more than the 8 hours. Even if you are on call and end up having to work, you have to then take time off during the week to “make up” for the time you worked while on call.

Yet I’ll be on call over a weekend trying to fix a problem at 2am, and my colleagues who aren’t on call just drop in to help because they saw the alert and felt like helping out.

It is like people want to actually positively contribute to the well being of the company when they are able to, because the company doesn’t try to drain every bit of will to live from their employees and respects that they are real people with lives.

You don’t need to hack anything, you can use Binfmt_misc to tell the kernel how to load windows binaries

Yeah but then Pterodactyls bring that number back down again

If it wasn’t for the eBay reference, I would assume we lived in the same country

If you are using a packaged version, try compiling it from source. On Arch the package from the repo would just not output and video, but after building from source it worked fine … some of the time.

It is still very hit and miss for me. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. I’m really hoping that the new Steam Link VR works on Linux.

If you boot to an Ubuntu iso, you can use arch-chroot to set up everything you need correctly. Done this many times when I borked my Arch boot process

What the company likes about the old timer is that because he has been there for 10 years, he will likely be there for the next 10 years to support the complicated system he is creating now. If a younger team member creates something using a modern approach, there is the risk they will leave in a years time and no one knows how the system works.

While watching this there were a few times where I thought “Hey, this actually looks really good”, then I realised that was the RTX off shot. The RTX on shots just didn’t do it for me as much as they did for games like Quake 2.

I think that HL2 just already had great baked lighting that adding ray tracing doesn’t make it feel much different.

This is my biggest reason for not buying the latest gen consoles. They lean heavily towards digital downloads, and I want to be able to unpack the console in 20 years for nostalgia and play a game without worrying if the game store is still available to download it.

There are physical disc versions, but I get the feeling even there the games won’t work out of the box without and internet connection to the online server/store

Give Hive Time a go. It has been a while since I played it in its early days but it was a fun bee hive management game.

The author is quite a fan of bees so I imagine he has done them justice.
