this is not a very good movie

@rosen i last used one a few years ago. it was a really bad experience as the tablet is really designed for content consumption rather than productivity

the touchscreen is imprecise and has latency, and the OS is locked down to the extent that it's really,,,, not usable for much imo

like the weirdest shit doesn't show up in the amazon app store

specifically i have a perfectly good 4690k which miraculous silicon quality, overclocks very well and very good thermal characteristics, but it's in such a huge machine that it's no longer useful to me

i want to build a mini-itx system with it and my 1080 but i can't find a decent mini itx board for less than $300

i'm happy to forgoe overclocking, i just want it to be useful again

this is probably a long shot but if anyone has a mini itx motherboard with any of the following chipsets i would be happy to buy it off of you

B85, H81, H87, H97, Q85, Q87, Z87, or Z97

These boards would be from 2013 to early 2017. I'm looking to use it with a 4th generation CPU, the 4690k.

star "the last jedi" wars

.... hmm. need to sit back for a second and think about how the player will actually go about giving commands here

ideally one wouldn't usually have to tell units exactly where to go but rather stuff like "3 defend 1", "3 attack 10", et cetera

also: can i differentiate friendly ids from enemy ids purely by verb?

"friendly attack enemy" / "friendly defend friendly" is obvious but "friendly rendezvous friendly" would need to be paired with something

"friendly intercept enemy" i guess

"info friendly", hmm

doesn't look like a lot of progress but i'm very close to actually accepting orders for these ships to move around and stuff

@IzzyWithAnIzze This is certainly no endorsement of Microsoft's approach, which is "yeah you can do it but fuck you if you want to know how".

The whole point of the thread is, as I've maintained for a while, that we should trust the users and give them the information they need to work with the systems we build, rather than child-proofing everything and providing only the barest hint at documentation.

Windows and Linux ain't there, but Mac OS certainly isn't either.

@IzzyWithAnIzze That's at least been my experience! There's plenty of stuff on my "other UNIX" environments that I simply can't do on Mac OS, and tons of thing that are unnecessarily complex.

This opinion isn't one I've revisited in a while so things might have changed, but when I was regularly teaching programming classes to middle- and high-school kids, we gave up on installing Python 3 on Mac OS X (at the time) and had them just use repl.it because it was so locked down.

Integer velocities with integer timesteps: :ok_hand_b2:

@catoutofbed i think it's going to be fun!

do you know of a good collaborative coding playground cuz i'd love to like, live code it

i'm uh, a bit distracted at the moment but it would still be fun

@catoutofbed i mean, it doesn't do anything yet, but

thinking about actually making this cli fleet battle game

a function taking no arguments and returning the type parameter System"

I am so glad we don't write code in English, heck.

"function resolve_with generic over F, G taking self by value, init (a G) by value, and comb (an F) by value, returning either the type parameter System or the type parameter Error, where F is a single-use function taking a mutable reference to a dynamically dispatched instance of an Iterator which iterates over elements of the type parameter Event and returns a mutable reference to a dynamically dispatched instance of an Iterator which iterates over elements of the type parameter Event, and G is 1/2

This function is Bad

i'm enjoying hyper light drifter but it's time to get back to work
