Yes, I actually do. It's a behavioral driven testing framework. I love the idea of it but hate working with it because everyone uses it improperly.

What the steps in a scenario should look like:

Given a user has a bank accout
And the account has a balance of $10
When the user attempts to withdraw $20
Then the transaction should fail

How everyone I've worked with uses it:

Given the system is setup
Given the user TESTUSER1
Given load TESTDATA1
When the user sends a request
    ACTION | AMOUNT
    WITHDRAW | 20.0
The the response should be 400
    STATUS | MESSAGE
    Failure | Not enough funds

Is that all there was to it?

We need to stop defending this sort of behavior.

I wasn't.

implying threads about other issues are less serious.

I never did this.

Why retaliate at all though?

How the fuck can you reprimand someone for not reporting an incident properly when they report it to their supervisor? The supervisor's responsibility at that point is to either inform the employee of the proper way to report it or report it on their behalf. If the report doesn't come through properly then the supervisor has failed to fulfill their duties, not the other employee.

You can believe both are bad and complain about both while acknowledging they're separate things.

I love this meme, but I feel like including TKL in the circle would be a little more fitting. I know I'm a little biased for being a TKL user, but they really aren't that esoteric. Every key is where you expect it. It just doesn't have a numpad.

Anything Arch based is going to have the risk of needing to have manual interventions from time to time. Hell, I had to do a manual intervention on my Windows 10 PC before.

(Windows pushed a bad update that caused some driver to fail SFC or whatever it's called and make instant BSOD on boot.)

Apart from the extremely rare fringe weirdo people are not saying being fat is strictly healthier than not.

About five years ago our local Target reconfigured their layout. The women's section got huge. They had all manner of diverse models and mannequins. The men's section got small and barely had anything cute and no plus sized models or anything of the sort. It hurt. It's really one of the few times I felt very directly affected by something like that. I'd never felt upset about mannequins not being diversely shaped until they only added them for women. So I like this.

One thing I can't help but see all the time is when someone walks to a group of people and singles one person out to talk and the pair say something like "give us the room" and everyone else leaves. Scenes similar to this happen all the time. Even in casual settings in movies. At some point I realized it's probably because it's easier to not have a second set for a private space just for a quick conversation. I can no longer unsee this.

Three of the last three games I've played have numbered levels, what the hell are you talking about? UFO 50 has them all over. Deep Rock Galactic Survivor has numbered floors and tiered levels of hazard. I played some random tower defense game on my phone that has numbered waves.

 

It only shows Drive (for each account), Bug Reports (?) and System Traces (?). Of course, I just restarted my phone to see if it fixed it. It did, but as soon as I try a second time it's gone again.

I mention Discord but I'm pretty sure this file picker screen is not directly associated with Discord.

Update: This is affecting a friend of mine as well in the same way from the same time. Haven't determined if it's just Discord yet.

Update 2: Alright, if I scroll to the photos instead of selecting "files" then go to "all albums" I see Google Photos. Not sure what changed to make it like this but at least now I know.

 

Sorry, this is a little embarrassing lol. But my notification bar with the clock and battery don't show in Jerboa any more. Is this some full screen option in the app I've accidentally turned on or something in Android itself I've enabled for this app?

Thanks!

 

I just never thought I'd hear GPL software get such a huge shout-out. It was literally the second thing said during the acceptance speech for Flow (best animated picture).

Also, Anora is a story involving sex workers and during two different acceptance speeches (best original screenplay and best picture) they thanks sex workers for sharing their stories with them.

Wasn't really sure where else to post this. I just thought it was pretty cool. There's always a bit of pandering in speeches (and it's not necessarily always bad), but libre software and sex workers were two things I wouldn't have guessed would get mentions. It was exciting!

 

There are times I'd like to get a measurement of a room's layout. I know there are some apps that do this, but a lot are just full of premium pay wall stuff.

I'm just trying to get the dimensions of my office (it is an odd shape) so I can okay around with potential furniture layouts.

 
:: Remove make dependencies after install? [y/N] y

If I didn't remove make dependencies, would yay/pacman be smart enough to know the thing I am installing does not actually depend on them? It's a very nice feature of package managers that they track dependencies and can do things like remove "dangling" dependencies and I don't want to mess that up with some random dependencies needed only for a build. But I also don't want to install something every time I need to build lol.

So does yay and/or pacman know that the things I am installing don't actually depend on the make dependencies?


Solution: Keeping the make dependencies after install will not fool pacman and/or yay into thinking the make dependencies are "real" dependencies of whatever you're building from AUR. They both correctly recognize them as orphans (unless of course something else actually depends on them). So feel free to not remove them during install without worrying about dependency graphs getting tarnished; you'll be able to easily remove them later if you'd like.

I am trying to make a 2024 version of my paladin. I can pick Oath of Devotion because it is free. I can pick the Xanathar's options and Oathebreaker because they are from 2014 content I own, but I cannot pick the 2014 version of things I own if they're in 2024 content I don't own. I can't use the Oath of the Ancients.

 

I'm interested in setting up something to act as a file server. Think of it as "the cloud" but local. I've never built (or bought) something specifically for this, so it's a big foreign to me.

I think really all I would want is something that can store a lot of TB of data easily. It doesn't need to be fast. It doesn't need to be able to stream media anywhere. It really only needs to be able to act as an SFTP server, maybe run sync thing (new to that), and maybe act as a NAS. My gut feeling is something like 10+ TB might be a good amount to start. Something that won't fill up quick and that I can put big things in (like a full system image of another computer) without concern.

What would be a good way to go about this? Building a computer like normal but getting very cheap stuff? Getting something pre built or used (like surplus office stuff)? I'm just not really sure where to begin.

 

When talking about inflation there are two main types. I usually call them treasury and CPI inflation, but I don't necessarily know if those are widely used terms. By treasury inflation I refer to the total supply of money, like the inverse of federal interest rates basically. By CPI inflation I mean the change of the consumer price index over time. Both are useful, but depending on the context one may be more useful than the other.

 

If I turn my controller on, it won't connect. But if it's on when I turn my computer on (or restart/wake from sleep), it connects just fine. I am using the "Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows". It's possible it's actually connected but not recognized by Steam or any games, but I am not sure how to troubleshoot that directly. The Arch wiki (linked) doesn't say anything about this specifically.

I am on CachyOS.

Any ideas? <3

Update: This somehow fixed itself. I don't think I even upgraded or anything since it was a problem.

The initial concept developed by the company involved using heat generated by Bitcoin mining rigs, according to Heata Co-founder and CTO Chris Jordan.

"We literally put a Bitcoin miner in a barrel of mineral oil and plumbed it up to a radiator," he told The Register.

Edit, because I think folks may be confused due to the quote I put in. They are not installing crypto miners into water heaters. That was just their original inspiration. Sorry for the confusion.

"We're not looking at serving real time workloads, we're not doing websites, databases, message queue servers," Jordan explained. "Our ideal job is; here's a chunk of data, go and process that for some hours. And here's the result," he said.

This could still prove useful for 3D rendering workloads, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, and others where there is a lot of CPU or GPU processing, he claimed.

 

My Keyboard has a chattering problem. On Windows I was able to run a program that would detect this and fix it. I believe I could use the built-in keyboard bounce accessibility feature to solve this, but the lowest setting it will allow me to use is 100 ms. When I type normally I will sometimes push a key that fast (e.g., hitting backspace a lot or in a video game). Is it possible to lower this settings to something like 10 ms? Maybe via the terminal?


Edit:

Potential workaround found. In ~/.config/kaccessrc manually change it to something like 10. Save and reboot. It didn't seem to take hold if I didn't reboot. Even typing this now I am seeing some problems, but I also hear the ding indicating it is working. Change BounceKeysRejectBeep to false to get rid of the ding. A comment on the bug mentioned 40 ms, so maybe that's a good sweetspot.
