TIL: The director of Factorio (shown during Nintendo Direct) has a history of sexism, homophobia and racism; claimed that "statutory rape" is an "SJW term"
  • The political views of a recommended lecturer, and even his own views on cancel culture aren't the issue in my mind. In fact I agree with some of the nuances there.

    The notion of rejecting a software lecture for the views of the presenter is kinda dumb. I don't know the content of the lectures, to be fair, but I assume any irrelevant personal views aren't part of it. Lashing out at Kovarex for the recommendation is dumb too, arguably more so.

    It's the statutory rape comment that I don't like, which affects the benefit of the doubt as far as his other stances go. Still, I don't think Factorio, or even Kovarex necessarily, should be "cancelled" here. Any backlash for his own comments is fair though.

    I see now my comment didn't reflect that as I only meant to convey my own disappointment, which is also nuanced.

  • "Completely normal" takes that are on the level of "I'm not racist, but...". That is the proof.

    A take can be common, pervasive, and bigoted.

    It is a loss if someone doesn't feel comfortable supporting or even touching the game after hearing this. It's a beloved game that unfortunately, but deservingly, will be tarnished by the dev's public views.

  • Let's make elections truly interesting. Let's make voting a competitive event. Specifically, let's count and publish live the results of early, absentee, and election day votes as they come in!
  • Satire aside, preliminary counts wouldn't really correlate with a final outcome directly anyway. Kind of like polling, but with even more time variation and weird feedback effects like you point out. It certainly could be interesting as a view of the process over time (e.g. which candidate gets more early votes), but lacking pertinent or useful information. Any conclusions drawn would likely be fallacious and psychologically driven.

    I don't think the post deserves the downvotes though. It is a crazy idea after all.

  • Is there a way to have a "watch later" or "favorite" list that works across different websites?
  • The many tools around this are interesting. "Web clipping" I think is the generic phrase for it. I got kind of deep into it from of a desire to wrangle ADHD, and a bit of datahoarding and knowledge mapping. Omnivore is one I liked for text articles, and there's super niche applications like Zotero.

  • Bing translate got it spot on
  • Yeah, I saw that synopsis under the knowyourmeme result lol. There's always that one friend/relative. Kind of funny there's never really been a phrase for it before.

    Still, I like the thought of it meaning everyone has that one food they really like and will steal a bite if anyone gets it.

  • Had A Cute But Slightly Terrifying Moment With A Bee. More Photos Inside.
  • Not too long ago I had a bee hitch a ride indoors on my sock, and I almost didn't notice. Eventually it crawled onto my shoelaces so I kind of let it down gently. It was more perplexing than terrifying, but I hope he's ok.

    I have to wonder if bees know how much power they hold when they're just chilling there stealing sweat from an enormous being.

  • Those are so ugly. Who would even buy these... oh, right.
  • Every now and then I get the feeling there might be something about them. Are they like supremely comfortable? Everyone I see wearing them nowadays seems chill and makes it look like they're comfy.

    Either that or the country has fully devolved into Walmart as Idiocracy foretold.

  • Setting up for python development is incredibly frustrating

    I've tried just about every type of setup I can find for a nix shell with python.

    I don't want to purely use nixpkgs for a lack of some packages and broken packages. I'm trying to use pyside6, but not everything in pyside6 is provided by the package, e.g. tools like uic.

    Attempting to use a venv as normal leads to a disconnect between the env and system with libstdc++.so.6 unable to be found. There are a various different flakes I've tried to use like the-nix-way/dev-templates#python and others from forum discussions which add stdenv.cc.cc.lib to no avail.

    I think the farthest I've gotten is with poetry/poetry2nix, where auto-patchelf warns about missing libQt6 libraries. Running with nix run fails to 'find all the required dependencies' even when adding qt6.qtbase or qt6.full to the packages. This is that flake, taken from the poetry2nix github with an added devshell:

    ``` { description = "Python application packaged using poetry2nix";

    inputs = { nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable"; poetry2nix.url = "github:nix-community/poetry2nix"; };

    outputs = { self, nixpkgs, poetry2nix }: let system = "x86_64-linux"; # Adjust for your system pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system}; inherit (poetry2nix.lib.mkPoetry2Nix { inherit pkgs; }) mkPoetryApplication; in { packages.${system}.default = mkPoetryApplication { projectDir = ./.; };

    apps.${system}.default = { type = "app"; program = "${self.packages.${system}.default}/bin/app"; };

    devShells.${system}.default = pkgs.mkShell { packages = [ pkgs.poetry ]; buildInputs = [ pkgs.qt6.qtbase pkgs.qt6.full pkgs.qt6.wrapQtAppsHook ]; }; }; } ```

    It seems kind of hopeless to get it working on NixOS. Does anyone have a working setup I could use for inspiration, or any other tips? I love the nix paradigm, but I'm honestly considering distrohopping with all of the trouble.

    Why might my treesitter symbols be empty?

    I'm on NixOS and slowly working through neovim config.

    I have treesitter installed with all grammars and it's set up in lua. When I run :TSymbols, it pops open a window showing -----treesitter-----, but no symbols are shown from the (python) code I have open.

    All of the setup is put in place by the config flake I'm using, but I don't think there's any additional stuff to add for symbols to work. The treesitter section in the resulting init.lua from nix looks like this:

    require('nvim-treesitter.configs').setup({ ["context_commentstring"] = { ["enable"] = false }, ["highlight"] = { ["enable"] = true }, ["incremental_selection"] = { ["enable"] = false, ["keymaps"] = { ["init_selection"] = "gnn", ["node_decremental"] = "grm", ["node_incremental"] = "grn", ["scope_incremental"] = "grc" } }, ["indent"] = { ["enable"] = false }, ["refactor"] = { ["highlight_current_scope"] = { ["enable"] = false }, ["highlight_definitions"] = { ["clear_on_cursor_move"] = true, ["enable"] = false }, ["navigation"] = { ["enable"] = false, ["keymaps"] = { ["goto_definition"] = "gnd", ["goto_next_usage"] = "<a-*>", ["goto_previous_usage"] = "<a-#>", ["list_definitions"] = "gnD", ["list_definitions_toc"] = "gO" } }, ["smart_rename"] = { ["enable"] = false, ["keymaps"] = { ["smart_rename"] = "grr" } } } })

    Does anyone use NixNeovim to configure their Neovim?

    https://github.com/NixNeovim/NixNeovim

    I'm getting back into my setup after dualbooting and not touching it for a while. Flakes, home-manager, all that jazz. I was in the middle of messing around with my neovim config, bouncing between nixvim and nixneovim. Can't really remember why I was landing on nixneovim, but I think it had to do with having more 1-to-1 vim options through nix and more available plugins.

    Part of this post is just to see what everyone's using, but I also can't copy to the system clipboard for the life of me! No ctrl-shift-v or anything. Oddly enough, ctrl-click-drag will copy a cut-off box of text. In nixneovim there's an option for clipboard, but that's just a string like 'unnamed' or 'unnamedplus', straight from the vim options. Nixvim has the option abstracted in a way that has the register and a provider for the functionality like wl-copy. I don't remember it not working with nixneovim before. That was months ago, though. Hoping someone would have an insight as I've been too deep in the weeds.

    Edit: sooooo I just needed xclip in home.packages. I had tried installing it in a nix shell, but maybe that wasn't the right way to test. Doesn't seem to work with wl-clipboard, but I think neovim looks for xclip by default and nixneovim doesn't seem to have a way to give a different provider.

    But still, how's everyone doing their neovim shenanigans?
