The War on Passwords Is One Step Closer to Being Over in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

After my password manager auto filled a password and logged me in the website said "Tired of remembering passwords? Want to add a passkey?" I didn't know what it meant so I said no lol.

Does anybody here still wish the Fediverse just had more people? in c/[email protected]

Hey! I'm 32.

Is it possible to be comfortable with two desktop OSs (e.g. shortcuts, mouse) in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You'll get used to it with time. I use the Mac keyboard layout with my Windows stuff too now and it helps a little. I still use the Windows shortcuts on Windows though, I just mean the flipped alt and Win/Cmd keys.

Also, grab this program. The biggest loss from Windows on Mac is moving windows around with hotkeys. https://rectangleapp.com/

This one really makes ya think

The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing in c/[email protected]

Did the terms of the emulators they ripped off allow them to? Not saying it's morally okay.

No worries! I think this was before Portal 2 and meant as a teaser. The person in the vid clearly has an interesting setup but you could do it with just a normal PC very easily.

I don't have a lot of experience but I was able to get Baofeng's GT-18 programming software working and programming on wine. If I was already an experienced wine user it would've been easier. It's the first time I dove in. Even the serial programming worked fine, I just had to see which /dev/ was linked to which COM. Still, native Linux (or CHIRP support) would be better.

OMG, thank you. This was one thing I'd recently returned to Reddit for.

I first learned about SSTV over a decade ago from Portal! I remember I had to get a two sided 3.5mm audio cable to plug my computer's speaker. https://youtu.be/DlIvnc-AZJQ (Video of someone decoding it.)

Has anyone ever used the assert keyword? Being off by default seems to ruin the benefits. (docs.oracle.com)
 

Assertions being built into Java is nice and they've been around since version 1.4. They predate type parameters! I have never seen them being used and the reason always seems to be that because you can't count on them being turned on because they're off by default.

The only theoretical use I can think of it for "executable comments", as in something like the example below, but they're annoying as the IDE will usually complain that it is always true (with no way to specifically disable warning for always true assertions, only always true conditions in general).

if (condition) {
  // Very long block of code
} else {
  assert !condition; // Primarily a reminder for when the if condition is not easily seen
}

Here it doesn't matter if the assertion is executed or not because it is just a reminder. The idea being that code sticks out more than a comment.
