Will AI Pet My Dog for Me? · eieio.games Sometimes I don't want to outsource work. Where should I draw the line?

Wrote about how I like understanding code (featuring my dog playing with a balloon)

I 100% agree with this post. I understand where people get the idea that they don't need to understand because many see problem solving as a chore, but in reality the solving part is often more rewarding than the result. Also love the dog :)

List view of all the ships in the video game FTL: Faster Than Light, where only the Kestrel, Engi and Stealth cruisers are unlocked

Recently bought FTL and been playing for a few days. Unlocked all Stealth Cruiser variants before even winning the game 😅

It would've been perfect

Writing Rust feels like an endless fight with the borrow checker over things I could easily (and safely) do in C++, just without the guarantee of said safety

I will start learning Rust. Used C++ basically as long as I have written code. I joining the crabs

It's even really simple to setup games obtained from the high seas ;)

Yesterday I installed Lutris on my laptop (Arch btw) and it's amazing. I have all of my Steam, EGS, GOG and Ubishit games in one place and it's really simple to play them with Wine/Proton.

My third ever game of Balatro. I have been really enjoying it. The numbers must grow

The DNS part can be easily fixed by forcing DoH (DNS over HTTPS). I have it setup on my laptop's browser, but I could do it system-wide if I really wanted

I bought Project Zomboid instead

I want to buy Stellaris at the cheap Steam Winter Sale price, but I cant afford all the DLCs. I will continue sailing the high seas with this game

My Lenovo laptop (V15 G2) was pre-installed with Windows. I have installed Arch with Hyprland on it. After installing Hyprshot (for screenshots), I discovered that the PrtSc button only emits PrintScreen when holding Fn, otherwise ctrl+shift+s, a Windows shortcut. KEEP THESE AWAY FROM THE HARDWARE!

I HATE hardware tailored for a specific operating system!

Finished today's Advent of Code at ~00:15 and still got my new personal best rank (18504).

I feel like I will forever suffer from integer size limits. When solving today's Advent of Code challenge I wasted ~1h trying to figure out what the F did I do wrong, just to discover that I used unsigned for the total instead of unsigned long

Best personal time between part 1 and 2 in Advent of Code: 3min 12 sec. My solution to the second part ended up being a incorrect try at the first part. I just needed to move down the undo tree

So thankful that I decided to go with C++ for the current Advent of Code. I just brute-forced today's challange and even the part 2 was just a few seconds while printing every equation

Damn integer limits. While solving today's Advent of Code, the result got so big that it didn't fit in an unsigned, so I had to use unsigned long long. I was fortunate that I noticed it quickly

Good to see my position rise everyday in Advent of Code even though I complete it around the same day. I believe less and less people can keep the streak

Just learned about it, so thanks!

! Advent of Code "spoiler" !
Is it me or was day 3 of Advent of Code really easy? I solved part 1 with just one regex and looped over the matches. Part 2 had a bit longer regex (still not complex tho) and one switch statement in the loop. Still enjoyed it :)

The struggle of finding time for solving Advent of Code. It made me realize that I don't have that much free time

I would suggest picking a "simpler" distro like Ubuntu or Mint, if you are a mostly a Windows user

Just finished the first day of [Advent of Code](adventofcode.com) in C++. Good use for my laptop that I just installed Arch (btw) w/ Hyprland and started using Neovim (btw)

Most important thing I have learned when using Arch is RTF(A)W. wiki.archlinux.org #archlinux #linux
