But the privatized prisons are local businesses too, right?

Does this mean Roblox is becoming this generation’s Second Life now?

Generally yes, but keep in mind that apt packages are maintained by canonical, while snap packages could be maintained by canonical, the apps’ original developers themselves (e.g. Firefox snap is maintained by Mozilla), or a 3rd party unrelated to canonical or the app’s developer (i.e. random dudes packaging apps into snap and submit them). If the snap packages are not maintained by canonical, there is nothing stopping the snap packagers to use a different versioning scheme, though it’s unlikely. In general, it’s a good idea to check the package entry on snapcraft.io to figure out who packaged them so you can decide if it’s trustworthy or not.

May not exactly what you’re looking for, but jupyter is excellent for documenting a session and you can make it works with C++:

Sales is up compared to last year but still doesn’t meet target? Hmm… this infinite growth thing is harder than I though.

companies of the modern era have to justify their existence not just with success, but growth, and Microsoft’s been struggling to do that

“The last year or so in videogames,” says Bond, “largely the industry’s been flat … [we saw some] tremendously groundbreaking games, but the growth didn’t follow all that.”

Whelp, now that everyone went back to work and not stuck at home anymore, it’s actually amazing that the video game industry is still flat, but apparently that’s not enough. Probably nothing can top covid19 effect to game industry anytime soon, unless they have another virus in the work /s

When a dev abandon a live service game, I hope they do what Marvel’s Avengers did: patch the game to work offline, unlock all paid contents, then has one final big discount before shutting everything off.

I wonder what kind of “education” he received in the camp? Did they serve him booze and tobacco everyday?

I wonder if it’s still true now that most phone manufacturers enable Memory Extension by default. This feature will likely reduce storage lifespan especially on low end devices that don’t have big RAM.

This has to be a joke, right?

Are the games so bad they’re paying you to play them instead of the other way around?

Not sure if it’s possible on the latest version of gnome anymore. Maybe try turning off lock screen notification because those sleep warning notification would often shows up when the screen is already locked?

Try running those adobe apps on a windows virtual machine. Use KVM with virt-managet instead of virtualbox. If the performance is acceptable for you, now you can use Linux as the primary os and only use the VM for adobe apps. VM boots faster too because you can just hit suspend and resume it again later.

GPU passthrough works pretty well these days, but anticheats will detect you running inside a VM. Evading anticheats detection is a separate issue unrelated with gpu passthrough, usually involves getting the vm to look like a real hardware as much as possible (e.g. using real mac address, hiding kvm hypervisor signature, etc). It’s quite a deep rabbit hole and I haven’t actually tried it.

Unlike hdd, I never experienced graceful disk failures on ssd. Instead, they just randomly decided to die at the most inconvenient time. Raid 1 saved my hide a couple times now from those ssd failures.

I usually use a version manager to install those stuff so I can install multiple versions when I need it. asdf is my first choice because it support a lot of languages via its plugin system, and the list of plugins is huge.

Assuming you’re on desktop, just grab a cheap amd gpu and do the gpu passthrough setup with kvm and virt-manager. No need to get an expensive gpu if you don’t plan to play games on the vm. The cheapest, bargain-bin second hand gpu will do, as long as it’s not too old.

CoffeeScript was a fad, but TypeScript seems to gaining more and more popularity these days, with new runtimes like deno supporting them natively. TypeScript finally gave Microsoft relevancy again in webdev world, so I bet they’ll go a great length to make sure it stays that way. If Microsoft were still making their own browser engine, I bet they’ll make it natively supports TypeScript too.

I like meat. I like jelly. But aspics… just looking at their image grossed me out.

Linux users would post their problems on various forums, but very rarely post their success story. Linux desktop is actually pretty good at this point. Just pick a distro and try it yourself.
