The backend is not virtualbox stuff but KVM stuff. Only the frontend is virtualbox. so one can claim that it’s more apt to say this is “virtualbox-ui”

Worst advice ever. Your blood pressure will rise and you will wish you were a farmer.

Don’t hold your breath. Helps avoid disappointment.

In the future? This is lemmy, we can actually edit titles.

May push users towards offshore crypto casinos

Which shouldn’t make us work in the opposite direction. Next step is regulation of the crypto space.

This would make it illegal for internet service providers (ISPs) and web-hosting services to support RMG platforms such as Dream11, Mobile Premier League (MPL), Winzo, etc. It would also force Apple and Google to remove such apps from their respective app stores.

Sounds good to me. These gambling companies grew out of nowhere in the past 10 years and have started dominating sponsorship spots in TV, Prestigious sports tournaments.

I give up if there is no one tool but a million of them. Come back later and repeat.

Eventually just write it in python.

which makes sense to me. params is passing the reference to the dict into the function. Whereas, **params is expanding the dict into the scope of the function before calling the first line of the body.

You can update the content of the former in-place, while the latter is just syntactic sugar for variadic function arguments.

You’re ignoring 20+ years of how it was the only player when web wasn’t so big as it is today. It was a major reason windows became the default OS in many offices, and as an extension of that, in the majority of homes in the 2000s to 2015. Thus majority of software industry and video gaming companies made their home in windows. Adobe Photoshop, AutoCAD, and many other industry software was made to work in Windows first.

There was also the case of Microsoft tilting the playing field by significantly discounting laptop and Desktop OEMs for Windows license keys just to be the sole OS installed on many computers. The concept of a PC was one which was running some version of Windows.

This also lead to another compounding aspect: Piracy of windows software made the windows AD/Server experts of today. Since Linux was free, there wasn’t as much of an intrigue on running it vs. A pirated copy of windows running pirated copy of many software.

Unproductive Engineer here: I am not productive because of constant meetings about doing things. I am now not productive because of Meetings about doing things using AI.

Edit: Forgot to add, Senior engineers are too overloaded to do any PRs… So usually it takes them weeks to get around to looking at the code the manager wanted pushed two weeks back. And often, they miss stuff that seems obvious in hindsight because they are burnt out. The genius solution by management: Copilot code reviews. Yes, AI gets to nitpick about the curly brackets and tabs vs. spaces all over again.

but that’s just a choice whereas in C you have no choice but write flawless code.

Not OP but the advice to limit the scope kind of kills the fun for me. I don’t want to code up the 100th variant of pong or pokemon-look-alike.

Lookup point-in-polygon algorithms

That takes reading from existing users.

Also not all answers are perennial for a question. So it makes sense to ask them again. In that case, closing a question as duplicate is absurd.

lower the price for consumers

😂

I played an RPG video game the other day with tricky AI companions and foes. This guy sounds like an NPC to be honest.

Yeah, that way they also get a 3 hour nap

Oops yeah you’re right. Sorry OP. There’s nothing better than using a database that flushes to disk often enough that missing a small chunk of data due to interruptions should be fine. Probably some kind of memory mapped IO on top of eager writing filesystem should do a good enough job.

I thought someone here had mentioned that the environment and user executing the script at startup and you running the script might have differences. The reason it would have worked with systemd might be that the environment was loaded correctly?

People who come here to say Linux is not good or that this community is an echo chamber and get mad for pointing out obvious flaws in the OS miss two things:

1. The post is an opinion of someone. Notice the “I” in the title? That should give you some clue.

2. You are offended when people suggest that you learn and adapt to the OS, but you suggest that Linux should support your workflow without any effort on your part to learn the OS. Which is hypocritical to say the least.

Ignore the trolls
