What a refreshingly information dense blog without the typical annoying web page behaviors (consent pop-ups, join our mailing list, etc). Thanks for sharing.

This isn’t limited to the Reddit app. You can see it on the desktop and mobile website too.

What plex container are you using? I would recommend the linuxserver one. I believe you may be running into this:

If you want to run the container in bridge network mode (instead of the recommended host network mode) you will need to specify ports. The official documentation for ports⁠ lists 32400 as the only required port. The rest of the ports are optionally used for specific purposes listed in the documentation. If you have not already claimed your server (first time setup) you need to set PLEX_CLAIM to claim a server set up with bridge networking.

EDIT: I misread your post, you’re using network_mode: host?

Let’s not forget an important distinction here. This man is not making any of these things, and he isn’t capable of making them. But, he is capable of directly and indirectly impacting the people who are capable of making them negatively enough that we get utter failures like the cybertruck.

Don’t give him more credit than he deserves.

Then you wouldn’t notice all the fun and exciting recommendations they have for you! /s

Wow. Linux performance is better in Cyberpunk, even though it is running via proton. How does the article not mention that…?

Showing free demos as their own line item in the store suggestions feels counterintuitive. As a user, I don’t want this, it just clusters the interface. I want to see the main game and something on it indicating a demo is available.

As for developers, discoverability is something they are always talking (complaining) about. Artificially inflating the sheer number of competing games for visibility seems like an odd choice in that regard.

It does support bios updates. That’s how I do mine on my laptop (a Lenovo).

Hmm I haven’t tried this. Thanks for the suggestion.

So, a dark pattern is a design that tries to trick the user into something. But what is the word for “knowing what the user wants, blatantly ignoring it and imposing the companies will anyway”?

Example: I think YouTube shorts are a terrible format, and I find them generally irritating. So I click the X on the element in YouTube that has a bunch of side scrolling cards, where each card is one of these shorts. YouTube informs me it will hide them for 30 days and then they’ll be back.

Another example, Windows Update. I’ve set all the group policy settings so it should never restart and update without me triggering it. But, if I allow it to download the update, then damn my group policy settings, it is going to apply that update and restart whenever it wants.

Losing the Internet Archive would be a huge loss. Unfortunately, greedy companies don’t want us to have nice things.

For those who unfortunately have to use Windows laptops for work, there is a workaround. Unplug the laptop before putting it to sleep/hibernate. That’s it. Super irritating they won’t fix it, but not surprising, too busy trying to shove (more) ads into the start menu.

It’s so ridiculous that this isn’t even brought up:

The Command you provided worked fine. Thank you so much for the help! Really appreciated! We are going to proceed to make a release today and test with customers. Will post the updates here.

Gotta love being a forced beta tester… I mean customer.

This is only tangentially related to improving your code directly as you have asked. However, in a similar vein as using source control (git), when using Python learn to manage your environments. Venv, poetry, conda/mamba, etc are tools to look into.

I used to work with mostly scientists, and a good number of them knew some Python, but none of them knew how to properly manage their environments and it was a huge problem. They would often come to me and say “I ran this script a week ago and it worked, I tried it today without making any changes and it’s throwing this error now that I don’t understand.” Every time it was because they accidentally changed their dependencies, using their global python install. It also made it a nightmare to try to revive old code for them, since there was almost no way to know what version of various libraries were used.

Even still, compare all of the features steam has and the tools they provide to developers for the platform vs. their competition.

I can’t believe they didn’t include the unit. Are we talking 6 small, medium, or large fries? There’s variation on where you get them from too. That could be so many fries!
