The short term goal is only to learn the absolute basics of programming. I only mentioned GIS to give some context on why I was narrowing down the language to python.
She’s familiar with all the keywords you mentioned as she already works in GIS, just not as a developer.
Looks great, thanks a bunch! EDIT: ordered it! :D
It’s like going to a vegan community saying “meat isn’t so bad”. You’re obviously not going to get good responses.
I use freerdp with Wayland, works OK.
You wish. Most tech companies will get you the cheapest laptop they can get away with.
I remember being denied a 64bit laptop when developing a 64bit only application lol.
I have several clients with this kind of setup. I’m always baffled at the amount of hoops I have to go through to connect to my Linux server. Sometimes I have to remote desktop to a windows virtual desktop and then use the citrix session to another windows machine VIA BROWSER so I can finally ssh to the machine. Are they trying to bore attackers to death?
I have tried the PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 before and I can tell you it definitely helps. The game is unplayable without it, to be honest. The VRAM still fills up but it’s not instantly, it takes quite a while. Makes the problem manageable.
Edit: Several people have reported that this VRAM bug doesn’t happen on AMD cards. If you happen to have one, you might give it a try.
Unfortunately I do not. I bought this nvidia card long before I switched to Linux and boy, do I regret it.
I believe that config needs to be in the working directory context of the game, but maybe I’m misremembering that.
Yep, I tried that as well. I have the exact same file in /gamedrive//SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Diablo IV/
If upon starting your game, it immediately starts using 10GB of vid mem, then that is what is needed by the game to run. Setting this to 8GB is going to magically make it run by using less.
But the game does quickly fill 10GB with both low and ultra settings. It hints to me that the game doesn’t need 10GB to run. It just makes use of the available memory. My theory is that using 8GB would at least make my desktop usable. Currently, switching to my browser in the second monitor can break the game. If I never focus out of the game it doesn’t break.
See if you can force a specific renderer that is more stable.
What are the available options? I haven’t tried this.
Thanks a bunch!
I don’t agree with this take that people should pay to work. Journalist have family to feed as well.
I often wonder how news websites are supposed to survive. People (myself included) want unbiased news websites without paywalls and ads.
How are they supposed to pay their staff?
It’s a gigantic money sink, it’s going to be extremely hard to come up with a profitable (or break even) alternative.
I stopped using LinkedIn because it totally turned into Facebook. Everyone is just posting memes, motivation quotes or soccer.
The only one pretending mistakes can’t happen is the person I replied to. Mistakes definitely can happen and no programming language is fool proof.
Continuing my car analogy, would you rather drive a car with airbags and seatbelts or one without them? Of course you can still have a fatal accident, but it’s nice to have safety features that make it as unlikely as possible.
Every car has airbags if you drive well enough. Right?
Nah, your ISP doesn’t give you enough bandwidth to host your own mini YouTube. You vastly underestimate the bandwidth required to run the service. It’s massive, which is why PeerTube is having a hard time gaining traction.
Serious question: how can YouTube pay the bills with zero ads? I’m not talking about making a profit, just breaking even.
Except content creators want to create content, not maintain an instance.
Switching to more private and less data hungry services is a tough process. How private do you want to be? If you take it too far, you won’t have a cell phone or a bank account.
Carefully consider the changes you are willing make right now. Start small, progress slowly. Don’t get discouraged and remember that total privacy doesn’t exist.
Start by swapping search engine, don’t use Google or Bing. That’s an easy goal that already makes a big difference. Use something like Duck duck go, Startpage or something like that.
Eventually move away from gmail. Get your own domain, create your own email address. Slowly migrate your important accounts to the new email. This can take time but it’s not hard and you just removed the 2 largest sources of data from Google.
Stop using Chrome, try Firefox. Personally recommend LibreWolf, a Firefox fork. At the very least move to Brave browser (but make sure you disable the crypto crap). Most extensions exist in both browsers this should easy.
Eventually consider moving to Linux but don’t rush it. Study what apps you need, what alternatives are there in Linux. Expect a way worse user experience but a way way better ownership. Try in a VM or live environment before you even consider installing it for real.
Well if I only have time to play a game a month, I’m not gonna play a 6/10 game. I’m not saying to blindly trust metacritic but when you seldom play games you need to filter them aggressively somehow.
Yep, it’s a git! :)
