That explains a lot. I played Grim Dawn and thought that it took a lot of inspiration from Titan Quest, especially the levelling system. Never put 2 and 2 together though.

It really depends on the role you are looking for. If working with data and doing analysis, you need some knowledge in stats and probability. If you are working on simulations, you will need basic calculus and algebra. If you are looking at game development, you will need basic trigonometry and vector arithmetic. The one thing you don’t need is mental arithmetic because you have a computer.

That being said, you can get by without these skills, it just becomes harder to see what you need to do, even if you would know how to implement it. This is alleviated if you are working in a team however.

I mean they should be using rfc3339 as it is an open standard unlike the iso.

Go through the tutorial. It is quite good and teaches things incrementally with real world examples. Just run vimtutor to start.

And not everyone will understand scientific notation unfortunately.

Where do you think the phrase “like a hot knife through butter” came from?

There are 3 states: just about to kill, killing, and just killed.

Scepticism is the British spelling

I hate it so much I can’t even put it into words.

In general I like it, but I’m not a fan of the monospace font used for the server names.

Children of a Dead Earth is a tactical space game with n-body Newtonian physics. This means that on the surface it is very similar to something like KSP, you can do things like orbit a Lagrange point. In addition, you can design all the parts of you spacecraft and weaponry down to the materials they use. If you can make a fuel tank made out of aerogel work with the laws of physics, then you can use it. For example, I made a coilgun that fires nukes which was devastating at close range but the low velocity of the nukes made them easy to dodge at long range and without any thrusters, they cannot course correct.

To be fair, they don’t control it and that is the issue

Also, you should know that complaining about Opportunity’s laws is considered verbal littering!

Client: “Can you switch these two colours, you have 1 minute to fix it or you’re fired!”

FYI, you have 3 clipboards in X11. You have your standard clipboard usually used with Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, like in Windows. You also have your primary clipboard, which copies any text you highlight and can be pasted with middle mouse button. The secondary clipboard is typically not used. If you don’t like the middle mouse paste, stick to the way you are used to. I learnt to make use of the primary clipboard and find that I always realise just how much I miss it when I need to use a windows system.

To be fair there is so much JPEG compression on the image, you can’t see much of anything.

No, it is customer’s since there will only be one customer left at that point.

I think it is a lemmy.ml setting, as I see the same, even when using a browser.

Stop giving them ideas!

There’s pros and cons. On one hand, packing your dependencies into your executable leads to never having to worry about broken dependencies, but also leads you into other problems. What happens when a dependency has a security update? Now you need an updated executable for every executable that has that bundled dependency. What if the developer has stopped maintaining it and the code is closed source? Well, you are out of luck. You either have the vulnerability or you stop using the program. Additionally bundling dependencies can drastically increase executable size. This is partially why C programs are so small, because they can rely on glibc when not all languages have such a core ubiquitous library.

As an aside, if you do prefer the bundled dependency approach, it is actually available on Linux. For example, you can use appimages, which are very similar to a portable exe file on windows. Of course, you may run afoul of the previously mentioned issues, but it may be an option depending on what was released.
