It's worth it for the price.

General:

  • Explosions / killing / respawning
  • Lots of Star Wars location and sound-design fan service

Campaign;

  • Gameplay is fun, but simple. The most complicated part is just reading the controls in the settings menu since the game doesn't tell you how to do one of the first things in the first mission (the button you need is 3)
  • Story is basic but it works well as a sequel to Episode 6 and a prequel to The Mandalorian.

Multiplayer:

  • Take turns being on offence / defence
  • Keep playing the same class / hero character to unlock more abilities for that class / hero character
  • Servers are populated, even for niche locations

Replayability:

  • Depends
  • If you like regular FPS games, you might get bored of it in 10-20 hours
  • If you like playing the same game over and over again to slowly grind up new things, you'll probably play it for 100+ hours

Other stuff:

  • Purchase through steam
  • Running the game downloads and installs the EA launcher (but you can log in using your steam account, no need to create new ones)
  • As far as launchers go, the EA launcher is tiny, surprisingly fast, isn't annoying and doesn't get in the way of anything (only setting you'll change is turning off the autolaunch when you start your pc)
  • Achievements work through steam
  • Invite friends through in-game party system. This can only see your friends on the EA launcher, but you can import all your steam friends in the EA launcher in a second and you only have to do it once.

I was worried at first when I read they were "reducing" all the documentation comments from new tsconfig files and making users rely on editor autocomplete to somehow find and get the right settings.

But after looking at their new tsconfig example, it still has all the settings that users care about and looks like what everyone eventually turns their tsconfigs into anyway

I haven't checked in on Zed in a while (since they first went into AI) and was always hoping they implemented helix support.

I'm glad they have but what the hell is wrong with their homepage?

Looking at that their main video at the top it's obvious they've really fallen into the vibecoding scam pit. Are they only getting funding from AI investors?

What the hell happened?

It's not about caring, it's about the lawyers making the argument javascript's genericness easier

Imagine if god showed up one day and said: "It's actually Jod" then left

I was unfamiliar with the decorate flag, but I can't see any difference after trying.

I will say this is one command I absolutely refuse to create an alias for.

I have force committed to memory the command: git log --graph --remotes --all (and the variation with the --oneline flag appended to the end if needed) so I can use it anywhere.

It's the one command I can't live without.

The future is ~~webp~~ JPEG XL...

And telling software patents to burn in hell.

It's not AI slop, and we shouldn't need to discuss it.

But unfortunately some users' behaviour is destructive, so we have to discuss it.

There's some really good recommendations in here, but we can't settle on what to recommend for you without a little more info.

  • Are you planning to game on it? (as in computer game, not ttrpg)
    • If yes, use Bazzite. (it's already set up for gaming, and it's "immutable" which means that it'll be hard for you to break)
  • If not, what experience do you prefer more:
    • Windows 7
      • Use Linux Mint (Cinnamon Edition)
    • Windows 10 (but without all the cortana, and bing stuff)
      • Use PopOS
    • I want something Windows like, but I want more control over how I can customise it
      • Use Kubuntu
    • I want something Windows like, and I want more control to customise it, but I also don't want it to break if I start doing weird things to it
      • Use Kionite (Will look the same as Kubuntu from the outside, but will lock you out from doing or using certain things)

Which one should you pick?

The answer is No (and also yes).

Huh?!

The real answer is not to pick one, but to pick more than one. You can (one at a time) install each of them onto a USB then change your computer's settings to boot up from the USB instead of windows. That way you can try each one to see what you like without installing them on your computer first.

For each one you try, you can check:

  • Do I like the interface?
  • Are there any compatibility issues? (wifi issues, sound issues, graphics issues, etc...)
  • Am I happy with how long the battery lasts?
  • etc...

Then once you're ready, you can install the one you want to use onto your laptop.

Debian and KDE would make a solid experience, but that's not what this user is looking for.

They're not going to know what Debian or KDE are, and they're not going to have the requisite knowledge to know that you're probably recommending Kubuntu.

Kubuntu is a great choice, but since we don't have all the information on the user's needs, it might not be the best choice.

I set l to ls -hal

 

Answer: create a new object with the properties of the two original objects using the spread operator.

The order you insert the objects into the new merged object determines which object's properties take priority over the other.

Linked example:

const obj1 = { foo: "bar", x: 42 };
const obj2 = { foo: "baz", y: 13 };

const clonedObj = { ...obj1 };
// { foo: "bar", x: 42 }

const mergedObj = { ...obj1, ...obj2 };
// { foo: "baz", x: 42, y: 13 }

The mistake most devs make when trying to document their project is that they only make one (maybe two) types of documentation based on a readme template and/or what their mental model of a newcomer needs.

Devs need to be actively taught that:

  1. Good documentation isn't one thing, it's four. To have good documentation, you need all four distinct types of documentation.
  2. What the four types of documentation are (this is discussed in the link)

If you don't have all four types of documentation, you have bad documentation.
