Immediately ew. They deleted it, obviously. Ridiculous shit.

docRekd,

@gamingonlinux as someone who is + toward #ai, what are they snorting at Redmond?

I don't actually have time today to work on any side projects, but I thought I'd run through the basic setup steps for MonoGame aaaand

./bin/Debug/net6.0/MyGame
bash: ./bin/Debug/net6.0/MyGame: cannot execute: required file not found

... which required file ._. ???

I think this sort of thing means it tried to dynamically link something and failed. I run into this whenever I try to run loose builds of Linux games on #NixOS, but idk what to do about it.

docRekd,

@aeva have you tried steam-run? Is the sandbox #nixOS uses to run #steam

I think I have finally™️ (for the third or so time) found myself a solution for :python: #Python development on :nixos: #NixOS that allows me to just work with #pythonPoetry et. al. as on other distros.

The solution is to pre-build an FHSUserEnv in your configuration.nix, e.g. like this¹.

When starting Python dev work, I now execute fhs (it's fast!), or directly fhs -c 'poetry shell' and everything works as expected, including #PyPI wheels etc.

@publicvoit @nobodyinperson Have you tried https://github.com/nix-community/poetry2nix ? Did it gave you problems?

Irony.

It's unfortunate when good messages are undercut (while also validated in this case?) because the site hosting them uses an #accessibility #overlay. In this case, #UserWay by #LevelAccess.

Edited to add link to valuable article: https://www.c-q-l.org/resources/articles/many-disability-professionals-dont-understand-ableism/

docRekd,

@aardrian I can understand them. They care about #accessibility and #accessinilyOverlay vendors promise that. Often they don't have the technical know how to understand that accessibility overlays hinder accessibility instead of enabling it, so I place the blame entierely on the accessibility vendors.

docRekd,

@aardrian Can you point out example of #ableism in #accessibilityTool #marketing, if I'm not indiscreet?

Random Linux fix: machine would not obey changes to efibootmgr... kept on repopulating (old) grub entry. Fix was to delete the folder in /boot/efi manually. Also UEFI sucks.

docRekd,

@ai6yr Still sucks less than legacy #bios, which in turn suck less than anything ARM does to boot phones

As developers we pay Apple 30% to have a great App Store platform that they keep free of garbage...

...after being told what the garbage is by journalists.

docRekd,

@thomasfuchs say what you want about #npm or #pip they have far less bullshit in it than those app stores for a fraction of the funding

docRekd,

@thomasfuchs Considering the absolute state of customer service #AI would be often better than speaking to a human that is forced to behave like a 80's enterprise program.

That is not a compliment toward AI

Due to:

  • macOS/iOS integration being really good
  • context switching between win11/macOS sucking
  • wanting affordable Apple Silicon CI
  • zed being macOS-only for now
  • DaVinci Resolve being great on mac (even w/low specs)
    I bought the cheapest M2 mac mini they have 🤷
docRekd,

@fasterthanlime But what if I don't wanna?😜

    You can do 'import typing as t' to put it in a separate namespace

    docRekd,

    @deshipu @orsinium So your problem is that, unlike some other programming languages like #Scala where you can have an object with the same name as a #type (and in fact Scala has some extra rules for implicits resolutions for companion objects), #Python types are essentially objects.
    I think that is a feature, not a bug, as it allows to have #dependentType

    docRekd,

    @deshipu @orsinium
    So the thing you're objecting is that they're run time objects.

    There is advantage to that tradeoff: unlike with erased types like in #typescript #python can introspect its types and do all kind of interesting things like allowing https://docs.python.org/3/library/dataclasses.html to introspect they type of its fields and check them

    docRekd,

    @deshipu @orsinium Python doesn't have macros yet

    https://peps.python.org/pep-0638/

    docRekd,

    @deshipu @orsinium Listen without neither type introspection nor macros how do you implement https://docs.python.org/3/library/dataclasses.html ?

    docRekd,

    @deshipu @orsinium
    Not really, dependent typing is all about making types first class citizens

    docRekd,

    @deshipu @orsinium

    Ok man you might not want it but plenty of people want a simple "bag of dumb fields" syntax

    Stop assuming that just because you might not want or need neither everyone else do

    docRekd,

    @deshipu @orsinium
    Also dataclasses are not the only thing that consumes types at runtime and having a separate PEP for all of those would be unviable

    docRekd,

    @deshipu
    Again don't assume everyone else shares your own engineering values

    Whenever an org says it wants to use ‘AI’ for a better customer experience, it is almost certainly lying.

    Customers are not clamoring for shitty chat bots that extend the time to get to a real human. Customers are not asking for LLM-authored SEO-driven FAQ pages. Customers are not asking for yet more hero images of people with extra fingers.

    The org is likely only interested in using ‘AI’ to reduce effort, save money, cut staff.

    docRekd,

    @aardrian https://danluu.com/customer-service/ makes an important observation: customer service suck so much that replacing it with would be an improvement, or at least cannot worsen it.

    docRekd,

    @aardrian Quoting the above link: "The case against using computers instead of humans is that computers are bad at handling error conditions, can't adapt to unusual situations, and behave according to mechanical rules, […] but that's precisely the situation we're in right now with humans. It already feels like dealing with a computer program. Not a modern computer program, but a compiler from the 80s that tells you that there's at least one error, with no other diagnostic information."

    I need someone to 3d-print me a guard for my tower computer's power button so the damn cat stops walking over it and hanging out for 4+ seconds!!!

    (Either that or I should unplug the button and just hot-wire my computer when I need it)

    docRekd,

    @fasterthanlime Just unplug it and use wake on lan to turn it on

    BTW there’s absolutely great uses for LLMs but it’s—for some reason—never the ones that techbros try to sell you on or mention in replies.

    Two examples are making written communication more accessible for people with disabilities; and very specific operations on longer texts, like adding punctuation to longer automated transscripts* from audio.

    These are niche applications though, and require tight oversight.

    docRekd,

    @thomasfuchs As is sadly too much common in accesibility software from what I've heard
