[knotty mirage]

Does http3 have any advtnages

[shadow rivet]

It's more than http2, I think.

[spare oriole]

every version has only gotten faster

but the problem is adoption

even http2 has gotten minimal adoption

except for the giants and they mainly use it internally afaik

[knotty mirage]

my windows freezes and lags when i close the lid and open it after some time

it's an x1 carbon

so basically when it goes to sleep mode

and i take it out again

[shell raptor]

I was really confused because I thought you meant Bambu Lab X1 Carbon (I was about to send you to a 3d printing server)

[knotty mirage]

it starts to freeze like hell

thinkpad x1 carbon

it's a premium brand

and i kinda bought it from an official lenovo store

idk

i never had such an issue before

[timid latch]

How long since you did a proper restart of it?

[knotty mirage]

i never leave it on for more than a day

uptime

i can replicate the same thing with even just 10 minutes of uptime

[uneven pine]

Are you on the latest windows update?

[timid latch]

Is it laggy for a while after opening the lid, or just right afterwards?

[knotty mirage]

Yes

[uneven pine]

And does this happen where you can basically move the mouse but can't interact with windows ?

[knotty mirage]

Exactly

[uneven pine]

Okay. Windows bug

[knotty mirage]

It's pretty much like that

[uneven pine]

This just started happening to me on my desktop

[knotty mirage]

I can barely open/close some windows/tabs

F

[uneven pine]

Computer is running fine... But I can't interact with windows

Happens after sleep mode

[knotty mirage]

Afterwards unless i reatart the whole thing

[knotty mirage]

Yeah

[uneven pine]

I opened task manager and checked resource usage.. Fine

Ctrl+alt+del and restarted using keyboard input

And it's fine

[timid latch]

Sounds like windows isn't restoring something correctly after sleep then

[knotty mirage]

You can even log out and login it works too sometimes

[uneven pine]

Ryzen 5800x3d , 48GB RAM, RTX 4070 Ti super

[knotty mirage]

I'm having ptsd from this issue at this point

Cause i end up restarting and losing unsaved work

[uneven pine]

Well

[unkempt python]

Classic

[uneven pine]

Save your work

But yes this started happening to me very recently. I assume it's a new update issue

You might try rolling back updates

[knotty mirage]

I wouldn't imagine the day would come when ubuntu wouldn't have such a critical bug compared to windows

[shadow rivet]

delete Windows

Install Qubes

[uneven pine]

What a horrible idea for someone who wants a working computer

[shadow rivet]

I dunno, my X1 Carbon with Qubes was a workhorse.

[timid latch]

Linux can work perfectly fine depending on what they use their computer for

[shadow rivet]

Kept me happy for several years.

[uneven pine]

Honestly Mac is the way to go for laptops tbh

[timid latch]

Oh hell no, never touching apple

[knotty mirage]

eh, some ml and latex nothing really

[uneven pine]

Linux on the desktop is still a long way away from Windows and Mac

[knotty mirage]

yeah i'm not digging another rabbit hole either

never gonna use mac or ios

[timid latch]

Is it tho? I find Linux wms a million times better than the hell of window management on Windows

[uneven pine]

I charge my laptop once a week, it's nearly as powerful as my main workstation, and the UX is unmatchable. There's nothing available for neither windows nor Linux that comes close to Stage Manager for example

[carmine apex]

viv
judgement time
do you use a tiling wm

[low chasm]

window managers are amazing, but to be honest if I had a laptop I wouldn't want Linux either

[timid latch]

Yes

[carmine apex]

i knew it
get judged

[timid latch]

Niri specifically

[knotty mirage]

but linux eats less resources

[shadow rivet]

Jeeze, mine has to be charged like every two days.

[low chasm]

I'm considering getting a MacBook, since I need a laptop for college

[uneven pine]

I still have 40-50% battery left egg I charge it too

[knotty mirage]

i have 9gb of ram usage while doing nothing lol

[shadow rivet]

I've got al dente to keep mine below 80%

[low chasm]

they're probably one of the nicest laptop experiences that exist right now

[knotty mirage]

@uneven pine have you found a source or some issue thread for this ?

[uneven pine]

that's supposed to happen. This is how Windows handles memory allocation, the more RAM you have, the more will be used, even at idle.

[uneven pine]

Nope, but it started happening very recently, and you're the second person I've seen with it

and I assume we're on some wildly different hardware

[knotty mirage]

f

[uneven pine]

I thought it was a me problem

[timid latch]

I mean UI is very much extremely subjective

[shadow rivet]

Oh wow, that's kind of old, no?

[knotty mirage]

it's a gen8

[uneven pine]

I mean, it's a couple of years old

[timid latch]

I can't live without a good tilling wm these days

[uneven pine]

not horribly outdated

[knotty mirage]

i bought it recently

[uneven pine]

I need hybrid/dynamic

[knotty mirage]

i just wanted something lightweight

[uneven pine]

Windows does a decent job of this in 11

MacOS is phenomenal at it

[timid latch]

I actually just implemented a small thing today that auto resizes my editor based on what else I focused last

[uneven pine]

MacOS window management with Stage Manager is just :chefs_kiss:

[timid latch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1359944952943214663/1381360860466774087/2025-06-08_21-43-15.mp4?ex=68473c0d&is=6845ea8d&hm=d76fd5c9a7c662c8b9990f6e66984eca79d296a29a7084a8309a5ee24428af19&

[low chasm]

there's ways to have a tiling experience on macOS that's pretty similar to most Linux tiling WMs

[uneven pine]

Hyprland looks very reasonable in terms of how it CAN look and behave, with its floating more

[low chasm]

like, yabai

[knotty mirage]

i use arch bytw

[carmine apex]

good
tiling wm
i don't get it

[low chasm]

I'm on hyprland yeah

I've got it looking pretty nice

[uneven pine]

but the fact that you have to basically configure it from the ground out makes it useless for me

[knotty mirage]

looks cool

[uneven pine]

I'm not spending a month writing my configs for a wm, I want something that works good and looks good out of the box

[timid latch]

(and what makes it's amazing for other people)

[uneven pine]

both macos and windows do this well

Yeah, I get it, when I was a teenager I loved tweaking things like that

but I don't have the time or patience to do that anymore

[shadow rivet]

🤔 I guess mine was gen 5. I thought 15.

[knotty mirage]

same same

[uneven pine]

I want things to work, and until Linux has something comperable to MacOS or Windows OOB, I will not consider it desktop ready.

[timid latch]

Niri works pretty well out of the box

[uneven pine]

Does it have floating mode?

[timid latch]

It does

[knotty mirage]

i had a carbon x1 on my last job i really liked it, that's why i bought one for myself

[timid latch]

Tho it's main selling point is the unique scrolling tiling

[shadow rivet]

How do you use it? I just command-tab through everything.

[low chasm]

it's also a window manager, so you don't get the conveniences of a full fledged desktop environment

[knotty mirage]

the build quality is amazing

[shadow rivet]

Stage manager seemed weird and took up real estate

[spare oriole]

lmfaooooo

[knotty mirage]

i have a gaming laptop the screen is falling off literally

[spare oriole]

ayla got converted into an apple shill

i saw that comming during M4 box opening reviews tbh

[knotty mirage]

and the hinges are not holding anymore

[low chasm]

to be honest apple silicon is pretty nice

[uneven pine]

You can make window groups which get added to another "Dock" on the sidebar, tile them how you want, and swap between your groups with single CMD+TAB

[uneven pine]

It's true

[low chasm]

I can see why a scrolling window manager would be nice for laptops

[uneven pine]

I hated apple for so long

but I saw the changes coming with apple silicon

I just didn't expect it to be so goddamn GOOD

[low chasm]

MacBooks are probably the best laptops for most people

[uneven pine]

Hell, if I need to run windows softwar.e... I run it on parralels

and it feels like a native experience

[knotty mirage]

@uneven pine do you remember which update introduced this problem

[low chasm]

oh huh parallels has a student discount

[spare oriole]

same, for me it became an actual quality of life thing, no windows / linux OS supports streaming into my hearing aid directly (at least without some stupid annoying dongles)

[timid latch]

I love making a lot of fun little tiny QoL improvements to my setup, which is easier to do on Linux.

Not saying it's impossible on windows, just easier on Linux, because worst comes to worse I can literally just fork the wm

[uneven pine]

@timid latch can you show me a demonstration of the floating windows? preferably with snapping zones as well

their page doesn't show it

also what is the taskbar/app menu like?

[shadow rivet]

Work paid for my Macbook Pro and Windows was going down the drain, so the choice was easy enough.

[timid latch]

It doesn't have one built-in, use whatever you like

[uneven pine]

eek

[timid latch]

Which is pretty standard for Linux wms

[uneven pine]

Okay, I want somethiong that's installed and works out of the box

I don't want to install 10 things

I want to install 1 thing

[shadow rivet]

homebrew

[timid latch]

I don't think niri has snapping zones.
It's not really designed to be hybrid, if you aren't gonna be using the scrolling tiling you shouldn't be using niri

[uneven pine]

Yeah, then it is not an option

so far COSMIC is showing progress in their alpha. if they can polish it, it might actually be very good

[low chasm]

cosmic will hopefully be nice, once it's stable

[uneven pine]

jinx

[low chasm]

lmao

[uneven pine]

but it needs a LOT of polishing to be ready

it's missing animations on basically everything and it's very sparse

[low chasm]

at that point I'll probably ditch WMs for good

[uneven pine]

It's a shame that pantheon never updated their design language to be more modern

[timid latch]

I meant more so relative to other Wayland composters it has more built-in, like screen shooting, a window overview/zoom out, etc

[uneven pine]

Pantheon is a genuinely great desktop experience but it feels like I'm looking at windows XP

[low chasm]

macOS does have various auto tiling solutions

which will probably be good enough for me if I ever go MacBook

[timid latch]

But yhe its all different target audiences, I love that I can fully customize my top bar to be just what I use (a list of workspaces, window tile, volume slider and the time)

[low chasm]

hyprpanel is actually really nice for hyprland, gives you a bunch of DE esque stuff all built in

notifications, WiFi/network settings, etc

[timid latch]

And I don't need a big speaker symbol to know what said slider is for, so the bar can look cleaner

[shadow rivet]

I don't touch the bar anymore. It's all trackpad gestures or keyboard shortcuts.

[uneven pine]

The built in tiling on MacOS works fine for me

Works basically the same as Windows does

just has less layout options

which I actually have to admit, the layout defaults in Windows 11 are quite nice.

[shadow rivet]

ehh....I'd say Windows tiling is still better.

[uneven pine]

I use them a ton at work

[timid latch]

I mainly just use it to look at what workspace I'm on or the time.
Or to adjust the volume, which isn't something I do too often

[shadow rivet]

PowerToys Fancy Zones

[uneven pine]

There's that but I've never found a reason to use it

even on the weird ass ultrawide I use for work lol

[shadow rivet]

I guess I use it for WiFi network selection...

[timid latch]

I use Ethernet so

[shadow rivet]

And the application menu bars are always up there

The weirdest thing about MacOS

[timid latch]

I really like niri because it's tiling, but in a way where opening a new window doesn't mess with the sizes of existing ones

[uneven pine]

yeah I still haven't gotten used to that

so many times I'm like "Why can't I open the damn file menu? WHERE IS IT?"

"oo.....ooh.."

[spare oriole]

you mean the apple on the left corner?

i just use f4 tbh

[uneven pine]

It's one of those things that I'm sure if I started on MacOS I'd probably hate windows DIDN'T have

the menus all being in the same place just makes sense.

I use a top taskbar in Windows anyway

[timid latch]

But yhe I generally like a minimalistic setup that just knows what I want most of the time

And Linux gives me the power to build that

[shadow rivet]

No, like "File," "Edit," "Tools," "Help" menus

Your window can be floating in the bottom right corner, those menus are all the way up at the top left of the monitor

[spare oriole]

example?

[uneven pine]

these menus

[shadow rivet]

Mine's like this

[uneven pine]

I have mine in the toolbar on vscode so it's not a good example but I actually can't find an appl that has them right now

[timid latch]

oh tahts... quite something

[uneven pine]

there

[uneven pine]

yes bit we

[spare oriole]

what's the complaint again?

[uneven pine]

there's no complaint

[spare oriole]

oh

[uneven pine]

we're tlaking about how apple has the menus for applications up there on the toolbar

instead of attached to the application like on windows

and most linux DEs

[timid latch]

(meanwhile I dont have a top bar on any windows, what are they useful for anyway)

[uneven pine]

that's where I put my taskbar.

[shadow rivet]

for finding the settings

[shadow rivet]

This sounds like something a gnome user would say.

[timid latch]

my top bar is just this (additonal images are just closeups)

[uneven pine]

wait

Type Optional[T] is deprecated? Huh

[timid latch]

we have T | None now

[uneven pine]

I thought the point of Optional[T] was to be explicit rather than using T | None

Apparently I had it backwards

Optional[T] just feels and looks better to me

[timid latch]

Kinda, it was originally to avoid having to type Union[T, None]

[uneven pine]

Also I don't know how I've been working on this project for weeks and it only NOW shows as deprecated

[random heron]

.latex hello guys

[uneven pine]

weren't you already warned about that?

Can you doesn't?

[spare oriole]

thats not deprecated afaik

discouraged sure, but not deprecated

[timid latch]

I suppose it was confusing when a field was optional, but didnt accept None (i.e arg: int = 0, you shouldnt use Optional there even tho it is optional)

[uneven pine]

Well it's definitely in type checkers

it is a deprecation warning for me

oh well at least it's an easy macro to replace

[shadow rivet]

What is the context for this conversation? Is this Rust?

[timid latch]

python

[shadow rivet]

oh type hints

[uneven pine]

I had opened VSC to get a screenshot and got a deperecation warning randomly

[shell raptor]

Yeah pylance is wrong, it's not deprecated

[uneven pine]

good to know

[timid latch]

I suppose its deprecated in the sense of "there are now better ways", but not in the sense of "this will stop working"

[uneven pine]

what's that new type checker that came out recently

[timid latch]

ty

not production ready

[uneven pine]

the one that accidentally named themsevles dog dick

[shadow rivet]

[uneven pine]

and had to rebrand

[spare oriole]

pyrefly?

[uneven pine]

[timid latch]

ty

[uneven pine]

I'm gonna try it out

[timid latch]

https://github.com/astral-sh/ty

ty is in preview and is not ready for production use.

We're working hard to make ty stable and feature-complete, but until then, expect to encounter bugs, missing features, and fatal errors.

[uneven pine]

Idon't write production python code, it's all personal stuff

[knotty mirage]

i haven't been taking programming seriously for a long time so i am totally unaware of what's going on in python ecosystem, is there any good python environment manager with python versions?, or do we still use miniconda

[shadow rivet]

Can we just have one thing for a few years, please
What's wrong with mypy?

[timid latch]

it isnt written in rust /j

[uneven pine]

I only tried mypy once, a few years ago

but it was a bit "too strict" for me

[shadow rivet]

I need rigor.

[uneven pine]

Pylance mostly stays out of the way and tells me when there's a real issue

I only had to # type: ignore once

[timid latch]

you can make pylance stricter as well

[uneven pine]

oh yeah for sure

I'm looking for something that doesn't get in the way of normal python code but wiill actively warn me if something's funky

pylance has been good about that, but I don't like that it's restricted to VSC.

[timid latch]

for a more stable alternative to pylance is basedpyright

[uneven pine]

I'm more interested in ty since it's from the astral folks

[timid latch]

(which works outside of VsCode)

[uneven pine]

I'm already using ruff and uv

keeping to one ecosystem seems like a good move

[shadow rivet]

I'm new, just started with uv, am happy.

wtf is a linter for

[uneven pine]

uv is a breath of fresh air

linting is SCA

[shadow rivet]

Society for Creative Anachronism?

[uneven pine]

gives you warnings/errors of potential problems in your code before compile/runtime

static code analysis

[shadow rivet]

oh, derp

But different than a type checker?

[timid latch]

yes and no

a type checker is a specific kind of linter

[shadow rivet]

okay

[knotty mirage]

@uneven pine are you on the may 28 update

they have rolled out a new update which fixes something related to sleep-awake

[uneven pine]

26100.4061

the USB devices one wouldn't affect me because I have all USB power management completely disabled due to my flight sim setup

[knotty mirage]

Maybe they fixed a bug or two with those changes

Which aren't listed

Also sometimes windows recognized the gpu and some other critical parts as removable drives

[uneven pine]

🤣

[knotty mirage]

Idk if that's just some high level problem or it's a serious bug

[uneven pine]

I also have PCI ASPM disabled so that might also affect that

[knotty mirage]

Like it thinks that my dedicated gpu is a removable device

[uneven pine]

I can't imagine how fucky it'd get if one of my GPUs disconnected

[spare oriole]

mypy has been around for a few years

[shadow rivet]

I think my problem is when googling for things...I wasted several hours with some stackoverflow answers talking about how to use setuptools...which was stupid, because who uses setuptools. The internet needs a way to deprecate tutorials and stuff.

If a .toml file is the recommended way of doing things, the links I see when searching for advice should be structured around that, and not setuptools.

(also, I don't know if "a .toml file" is the alternative to setuptools, but that seems like the case as far as I can tell at this moment in my learning)

[uneven pine]

There's a great way to check deprecated tutorials

Is it from within the last year? If yes, it's higher likely to be relevant

If no it's probably out of date

Google also gives awful results these days. It's all AI and ad filled

[thick osprey]

.> I use setuptools

[uneven pine]

I mean setuptools has its place

[thick osprey]

Ye. Right here: https://github.com/Preocts/python-src-template/blob/58366b9a12ab102d315bcdd0d8b329aebad521af/pyproject.toml#L1-L3

how much do you make from streaming?

and is the PC worth it for the returns you get?

[uneven pine]

Basically nothing and yes

It makes it possible to stream games like GZW as a vtuber.

[scarlet peak]

if you make basically nothing, how is it worth the expensive PC?

[timid latch]

People can find purpose in more than money

[scarlet peak]

i mean thats fair, but how do you fund something like that?

or is this just like, a modern day equivalent of a coin collection or a wall of lego sets

[timid latch]

I mean it is literally a usable thing they regularly use and play on

[uneven pine]

It's my hobby, I enjoy doing it

it's a fun way to meet and interact with people.

And the streaming Pc was technically free, it's been built with spare parts that were not in use

Ryzen 3600, 16GB of RAM, GTX 1070

the motherboard, case, and PSU were from the living room HTPC that is currently out of comission due tot here being no living room (home renovations)

They're technically my roommates buuuut I'm (maybe) trading them the 5800x for it since they want to rebuild that system anyway, or if that doesn't work out I'll just pay 'em for the parts

[uneven pine]

Also I don't know what I did but I somehow now have 165hz available again on my main monitor

despite the capture monitor only going at 144hz

hopefully that doesn't cause weirdness and I can keep my 165hz

[rough sapphire]

hi

[spare oriole]

why are you sending hi in every channel?

[carmine apex]

just three ot channels

[unkempt python]

And one other but idr which

[shadow rivet]

What is Astral's business plan?

[left jewel]

Most companies working primarily on open source survive mainly by providing services, so maybe that.

Like I dunno, uv pro could become a thing someday.

[low chasm]

"you've reached your package install limit of the day, subscribe to uv pro for unlimited package installs"

(but yeah realistically it'll be some sort of service)

[shadow rivet]

This is what I'm afraid of--although I pay for Pycharm Pro, so...

[wraith hound]

i hope they could survive on consulting or something, but i dunno. we'll have to see :(

[low chasm]

it is pretty nice that people are being funded to maintain these tools, at least.

consistent maintainence and effort being poured into improvements (and they're happening pretty damn fast) is always nice to see.

[young shoal]

I talked to astral people at pycon and they were pretty hopeful of their job security

[shadow rivet]

Okay, but why? Who is funding them right now, and what will they eventually want in return?

[young shoal]

venture capital

[shadow rivet]

So, "sell out your users" is usually the way that ends.

From what I've seen

[warped sentinel]

most likely growth so they can justify a bigger valuation and round of funding. And hoping to find a way to monetize it

https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/astral/a357ab40-9da5-4474-acc7-5888804c69ac should also give you some clue into what they are cooking

[narrow coral]

Two of my friends, with better hardware than me, couldn't play star birds (the kurgzesat, however u spell it, game)

And I, a linux user, playing through proton

Could play the game smoothly

Is that sufficient to conclude that linux is better to play windows games than windows itself?

Or am i missing something crucial?

Dualboot ppl, lmk if you find proton better, worse or equal

I use arch btw

[scarlet peak]

i doubt it's an OS issue

[narrow coral]

Says the guy who has never used linux 💀

[thick ore]

star birds doesnt look like a computationally expensive game

im downloading it rn

[narrow coral]

Btw im not disagreeing
But yk, windows has so many unnecessary processes running and eating the cpu and ram
That's why i think it is a windows issue

[narrow coral]

On windows or linux or both?

[thick ore]

linux

proton experimental

[narrow coral]

I forgot which proton I used

Maybe 10

[scarlet peak]

"unnecessary processes"

explain

[thick ore]

LMAO

[narrow coral]

Open task manager

[thick ore]

DoNotShip

[scarlet peak]

what next?

[scarlet peak]

v2 comes out with DaveIToldYouDoNotShip

[narrow coral]

How many of these processes did you select to run?

[thick ore]

dude

those are regular operating system processes

you did not manually select like 90% of them to run

same goes for mac and linux

[scarlet peak]

honestly this is the arch mindset

[narrow coral]

I know almost all the processes running on my arch (btw)

[scarlet peak]

i wouldnt be surprised if you had to manually install display drivers to be able to even use your monitor

[narrow coral]

Production efficiency smh

[scarlet peak]

hell no

[narrow coral]

Sometimes i only need to do something with the terminal
Those times, i dont even run my monitor

I just use the tty

[scarlet peak]

the what

[narrow coral]

Production efficiency smh

Btw, i know a lot of ppl who do that
Pretty sure there's a cult for it too

[scarlet peak]

this is the vim mindset

anyways whats tty

[narrow coral]

No DE/WM/GUI cult or smthn

[narrow coral]

A screen which is just terminal

Anyways there's no reason for me to use anything for that
Do i really need to use hyprland to run a script on my server?

Nah, I'll just ssh from the tty

And then go play pokemon or smthn

[thick ore]

Liquid glass is so ass

Just glass was peak dude

[willow narwhal]

It reminds me of Windows 7 with the colour scheme of Windows XP

[thick ore]

It tries to be win7

Implementation is horrible

[uneven pine]

Yeah

I'm not a fan

I'm early adopter

[tropic ore]

TODAY i learned.

bananas don't grow on trees.
-# they grow on plants that aren't trees

[languid cargo]

Is that because most Banana 'trees' are all clones? What're the (biological) criteria for being a tree? (no unique root node, so it's a banana graph?)

[sharp jasper]

🍌 ->🍌 ->🍌 ->🍌 -> ∅
banana list

[scarlet peak]

wtf is that last banana

[uneven pine]

banana list

obviously

[sharp jasper]

null banana

[turbid oyster]

notr an OS problem, its a game-side problem

[unkempt python]

It is the best

[unkempt python]

The only reason i installed riverwm on my arch btw install is for zen browser and ricing

(Im not about to use some term browser)

[unkempt python]

Whats this?

[round pendant]

linked list of bananas

[sharp jasper]

I have a banana tree plant

[scarlet peak]

you smoke bananas?

[wheat lynx]

I have banana plant plants in my banana plant

that is, plants bearing spy-bananas in my banana factory

[cloud oxide]

like this

[glossy niche]

https://youtu.be/jXvy0f4iQRI this is just supposed to be the ending theme for death note but imo its one of the hardest jp pnu metal songs ever

(they removed the og video )

[narrow coral]

U tried the game on both os?

[spare oriole]

all of them

[rough sapphire]

Vote

[spare oriole]

my choice isn't on the list

[thick ore]

In what aspect

[uneven pine]

Linux for server
MacOS for laptop
Windows for everything else

[rough sapphire]

What is your choice

[spare oriole]

Linux for server
MacOS for laptop
Windows for everything else

[rough sapphire]

Then vote for windows

[rough sapphire]

Then vote for windows

[uneven pine]

That's a disingenuous answer

[solid elbow]

No ChromeOS? smh

[thick ore]

Mac hardware is rlly awesome tho

[uneven pine]

Yeah man

My m4 is insane

[thick ore]

That battery life

[uneven pine]

Up to two weeks of usage at work on a single charge

I feel like an advertisement but it's actually true

[spare oriole]

you must use it lightly

[uneven pine]

Normally I charge once a week

[uneven pine]

It's open/screen on on my desk for about 8 hours a day

Mostly just web and terminal stuff.

[spare oriole]

same, dies faster than that for me.

though i am on M3 pro

[uneven pine]

End of a 3.5 day work week I generally have 30-60% battery left

[rough sapphire]

Guys vote guys

[uneven pine]

Depending on what I do over my lunch breaks

[uneven pine]

No

[rough sapphire]

Vote before the voting ends

[uneven pine]

No one cares

[rough sapphire]

.latex vote guys

[uneven pine]

Stop

[rough sapphire]

Didn't ask you

[uneven pine]

You literally did.

[rough sapphire]

Ok

[uneven pine]

Right here

[rough sapphire]

Your note is leave me alone

So iam gonna leave you alone

[uneven pine]

Great choice

Anyway yeah @spare oriole the two things that make my battery disappear are games and AI models

Reminds you real fast how small the battery actually is

[spare oriole]

that explains it

[uneven pine]

They're just so insanely efficient at low power

[thick ore]

What games can/do you play on mac

[uneven pine]

HSR through an iOS shim layer primarily, games like frost punk and wildermyth are good too

Surprising number of games from my steam library are apple compatible

[thick ore]

That's nice

[uneven pine]

I can confidently and 100% honestly say that gaming on Mac is a better experience than gaming on Linux lol

[unkempt python]

This kid learning about polls

[unkempt python]

Okkk but like chill

[rough sapphire]

No bro idk what am i doing

[scarlet peak]

sup nerd

[sand sage]

here

[scarlet peak]

what's the difference between a parameter and an argument

[sand sage]

a parameter is the functions action, an argument is the choices the function makes?

helleeww?

bro...

[scarlet peak]

nope

a parameter is in the function's body, an argument is supplied to the function when it's called

def function(parameter):
    ...

function(argument)

[sand sage]

oh. oh yeah

[scarlet peak]

what does a function return if it doesn't finish its executon on a return statement?

[sand sage]

a parameter is a variable that doesn't need to be called in a function right?

[scarlet peak]

no

[sand sage]

an error message (or "false")

[scarlet peak]

it's a variable that outlines an argument the function takes

[scarlet peak]

no

it returns None

[sand sage]

aah...

[scarlet peak]

what is a decorator?

[sand sage]

no idea

i learnt my stuff from cs newbs bro

bare basics

[scarlet peak]

i know and i can tell
