  • Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()

    Jump

  • I haven't read the article. But I'd assume this is for the same reason that not not string is faster than bool(string). Which is to say that it has to do with having to look up a global function rather than a known keyword.

  • Does this exist anywhere outside of C++?

    Jump 
  •  python
        
print('string\n', end='')

  • Any idea what this application is?

    Jump

  • Labeling arrows is built in. Just double click the line/arrow and it will give you a text field.

  • What is the legitimate use-case for generative AI?

    Jump

  • 100% agree with this.

    It is so much faster for me to give the ai the api/library documentation than it would be for me to figure out how that api works. Is it a perfect drop-in, finished piece of code? No. But that is not what I ask the ai for. I ask it for a simple example which I can then take, modify, and rework into my own code.

  • Way to get around ISP blocking port 80

    Jump

  • Since it sounds like this is your home router since you mentioned you use Comcast. If you are testing the site from within your network using your external ip then you are possibly running into a loop back block. Comcast does not allow traffic that originates from within your network back into your network.

    Try the ip/site from a Hotspot and that might work.

  • Help with non steam game on Linux mint

    Jump

  • If you are launching the hoyo launcher through heroic then that will also have to obey Flatpak permissions. Since that is how the containers work.

    You could try enabling full filesystem access just to test whether is it Flatpak permissions blocking you.

  • Help with non steam game on Linux mint

    Jump

  • Do you have heroic installed through Flatpak? If you do then install flatseal (through Flatpak) and use flatseal to enable permissions for heroic launcher. It should be pretty obvious how to do this once you have flatseal open.

    By default Flatpak does not allow applications to write to directories outside of your home fir (and I think it also blocks access to other partitions).

    Source: I did this on my system last Friday to install return to moria. Also I got zzz to work on my steamdeck out of the box with heroic game launcher.

  • Is Linux (dumb)user friendly yet?

    Jump

  • This is true. And it's also why I always recommend downloading steam through their website. They distribute their own Deb directly, and it auto updates.

    Flatpak version is also okay but if you want to use a secondary disk then you need to know how to use portals (or the Flatpak configuration tool that I can't remember the name of).

  • What is the most duct-tape thing you've done to Linux?

    Jump

  • I think there is a value you can put into a /sys file to fix this. Had the same issue on my k10 keyboard. (the fix was easily findable on their forums)

  • Israel flagbearer at Paris Olympics ‘signs bombs’ targeting civilians in Gaza

    Jump

  • I like the idea that you might actually believe that it really matters WHICH bombs got dropped on civilians rather than THAT bombs get dropped on civilians.

  • People are having trouble following Harris’s campaign Twitter account

    Jump

  • I'm not sure how that applies here.

    I am talking about enterprises being able to leverage their current infrastructure to manage their users in Mastodon from a central location, Like AD. Rather than have to manage local accounts.

    I am not talking about activitypub in anyway.

  • People are having trouble following Harris’s campaign Twitter account

    Jump

  • I'm not sure on the capabilities of Mastodon. But companies will never go for this if Mastodon doesn't support saml or active directory (or other Auth systems). It needs to integrate with their enterprise tools.

  • Disk space counted twice on root folder?

    Jump

  • This might help in the future in case you setup a remote mount for backups in the future. Look into using systemd's automount feature. If the mount suddenly fails then it will instead create an unwritable directory in its place. This prevents your rsync from erroneously writing data to your root partition instead.

  • Trying to Download Fallout New Vegas on Lutris but getting an error code. I feel like I need to manually select 32 Bit download but Ihave no idea,

    Jump

  • I want to say that that option is going to do that same thing that you tried before. Unsure as I have never used that option.

    I was talking about the third or fourth option I think it's called install from windows executable.

  • Trying to Download Fallout New Vegas on Lutris but getting an error code. I feel like I need to manually select 32 Bit download but Ihave no idea,

    Jump

  • You can download the installer to any folder you like. Use the plus button as the person above said. And you will probably be able to leave most settings as default. Just keep going through the prompts until it asks for the file.

    If you run into issues. First go into the configuration and make sure that the executable is correct. (sometimes it points at the crash reporter executable)

    If you get errors after that you might check protondb and see if people have other runner/wine suggestions. (you can get other versions with protonupqt).

    I haven't run newvegas before. But it hopefully will just work tm.

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • I also like lutris. But it being "for games" doesn't do it justice I think. It is basically just a wine environment manager. It advertises as being for games but it should work with just about any windows executable.

  • What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

    Jump

  • I did something similar (that my professor still talks about in class as a cautionary tale)

    I ran chown -R user .* (intending to target all hidden files in the folder) and for people that don't know .* also matches .. (.. was / in this case) which changed the permissions on all files on the system to that user, including sudo.

    We fixed it by mounting the root of the file system in a docker container which effectively gave us root.

  • ISPs can charge extra for fast gaming under FCC’s Internet rules, critics say

    Jump

  • Net neutrality being brought up as an election topic would be very unusual for our politics. Our two party system is very set on the topics that they like and don't like to bring up.

    Of course the parties have negative incentive to do anything more than the bare minimum about these topics that they fight so hard to advertise. Otherwise, they might need to come up with new reasons for people to vote for them.

  • Excluding the Horror genre and individual movies in a series, what movie story ends with evil winning?

    Jump

  • I am going to put in little shop of horrors since it is a musical. And I really would not consider it horror.

    For those of you that don't know there are actually 2 versions of this movie. The original release version where the plants lose and the ORIGINAL test audience version where the plants win.
