Generating quick programs like “a python script that calculates the mean value of two hex colours, outputting the result as a HTML file displaying the resulting three-color gradient”? Yeah, AI is decent at stupid simple tasks like that, and it’s much faster than me writing the script or calculating the values myself. I tend to generate things like these when I’m working on something else, don’t want to spend time on things outside the project I’m working on, and can’t find a website that does the thing I want.

Touching my actual code? Hell no.

Been thinking about that game I started building a while back. Got some new ideas. Might pick it up again soon. It’s been so long though that I have to read all my notes and figure out what I was doing before I can do anything new. Dreading that part.

Yes. I have used Inkscape for OP’s use case (floor planning, rearranging furniture, measuring) and it worked great. IIRC I plopped a PDF floorplan in and scaled it to 1px = 1 cm then added layers. Super simple.

Might as well do alias nvim=vim while you’re at it

Another reason to use Emacs: woman pages

Surely spreading the word would increase total donations?

Not OP, but pure donations lack the “spread the word” aspect of wearing an advert on a shirt.

Refurbished Thinkpad. The answer is always refurbished Thinkpad.

It’s the other way around … yellow is choleric and black is melancholic

What? C++ is definitely black bile and Cobol is definetly yellow bile.

There is a Debian-based Mint edition: https://www.linuxmint.com/download_lmde.php

Stickning to Ubuntu instead of ripping the bandaid? Still not a masochist?

Ok :)

What software was that?

I’ll stay on XFCE until I die … or until my Hyprland config is finished. Whichever comes first.

1. Start writing a small game in Godot using GDScript (basically Python)
2. Use the Godot docs to read about C# alternatives to GDScript as you go, compare them and see how they differ
3. Translate bit by bit of your game to C# using the docs
4. Congrats, you have written a game in C#

Makes me think of this video

I was looking for a mouse recently. My priorities were:

• Comfortable (i.e. vertical; after getting used to it I’m not looking back)
• Standard format replaceable battery, since built-ins always end up depleting or swelling and being hard to replace
• Nice scroll wheel (highly subjective though)
• Easy switching between Linux and Windows systems
• Small-ish, portable

I got the Logitech Lift. I am pleasantly surprised by how nice it is.

Granted I mostly use my mouse for browsing, scrolling and navigating UIs. The rest is all keyboard. For games I prefer controllers and game pads so precision/high performance wasn’t an issue for me at all.

Yeah, COBOL schools and boot camps have started to pop up
