Well, I can't read I guess.
At least I linked to the code, since the article doesn't seem to do that. The twitter thread it linked to probably does, but I can't view the replies without logging in.

Here's a fun fact not noted in the article: Temporary files in sqlite are named etilqs_something in order to prevent people from contacting the sqlite developers for support when other applications (specifically, McAfee) have decided dump and not prune temp files.

This is a trailer for NBA 2k20, that shows more gambling content than actual gameplay.
The top comment is:
Hey 2k, theres a basketball minigame in your gambling simulator, can you fix it please?…
Could I have a game rendered by a discrete GPU running in a window being handled by an Xorg session rendered by an integrated GPU?
I used to do this, but I use wayland now. Similar setup though.
Would it matter if the video output was physically connected to the discrete GPU or the motherboard, or is that configurable?
Yes it matters. On many laptops the hdmi out is ONLY on the discrete gpu, meaning the discrete gpu must be on (and sucking power) in order to display to external monitors, even if the internal gpu is doing the rendering.
Vscode is an IDE, but only after I spent 15 minutes finding and selecting the appropriate java extensions and ensuring that my Linux system had Java installed.
But what was a 15 minute process to me, could easily be a 2 hour struggle to someone who is setting up a development environment for the first time and "just wants autocomplete and debugging".
also as a bonus question, why does every IDE seem to require you to configure every single option before it can run code
What IDE's have you tried?
Kate (and vscode) aren't really IDE's, they're more like extremely extensible text editors. You can make them IDE's, but they dob't come like that out of the box.
On the other hands, actual IDE's often have the inbuilt capability to install and manage the programming language related software.
Yeah.
I also occasionally use bookmarks bar as session save/restore, since firefox can open all bookmarks in a folder if you right click on it.
Firefox bookmarks are extremely versatile and underrated.

I personally like yaml though. Although I won't deny it can be hellish to write without a linter, it's just like any other language with tab autocomplete and warning for sus things if you have the right software set up.
I used the ansible and kubernetes VSCode extensions, and I really like them both. With the kubernetes one, you can just start typing the name of the resources you want to create, and then press tab, and boom, a template is created.
I would much rather see something like Nix be the norm, but I find Nix very frustrating to edit because the language servers for it are nowhere near as developed.
