Why did Pablo Escobar dress like shit?
  • I’m pretty sure that at the time that photo was taken he was in the middle of running for political office and hiding the fact his money came from drug trafficking. I assume that look you described was exactly what he was going for.

  • Wait, not like that
  • Hold on, that’s not fair, we also use it to measure how much Coca Cola is in the bottle…hmm never mind that’s not helping… let me start over…we also use it for drugs! Wait, shit…

  • Wanted Drug Kingpin Keeps Exposing His Location in Mundane Google Reviews
  • Funny thing is most of them are good reviews not bad lol

    It’s funny reading these mundane “the service was great, good steak” kind of review and knowing it’s written by a billionaire drug kingpin 😂

  • I wanna try out vtubing
  • I watch a variety of tech and programming related YouTube channels and I’ve never once cared what the presenter looks like. I wouldn’t worry about it.

    Your personality is way more important and that will matter the same whether you’re showing your real face or a VTuber avatar… arguably it’s even more important for a VTuber since you have to convey that personality without your normal facial movements and body language.

    So I’m not saying you shouldn’t do the VTube thing if you want to do it, but if the main reason is that you’re worried about being out of shape I can tell you 100% it doesn’t matter. The content will speak for itself if it’s good.

  • People's Reaction When You Start Speaking Their Language.
  • Yeah that makes sense, that’s right about when they started teaching English in schools from grade school on. That’s why everyone under 40 tends to speak great English but over 40 and it’s hit or miss.

  • People's Reaction When You Start Speaking Their Language.
  • Yeah in my experience pretty much everyone under the age of around 40 in any major city speaks English there. Cities like Berlin sometimes it seems like half the people there don’t even speak German haha

  • What are the craziest misconceptions you’ve heard about programming from people not familiar with it?
  • Sounds about right for an academic computer scientist, they are usually terrible software engineers.

    At least that’s what I saw from the terrible coding practices my brother learned during his CS degree (and what I’ve seen from basically every other recent CS grad entering the workforce that didn’t do extensive side projects and self teaching) that I had to spend years unlearning him afterwards when we worked together on a startup idea writing lots of code.

  • Does anyone know, how to turn off this debug menus in safari? Showing on right click on tab
  • It looks like you have iOS Safari debugging turned on. Here’s the instructions I found from Apple to toggle it:

    1. Open the Settings app.
    2. Go to Safari.
    3. Scroll down to Advanced.
    4. Disable the Web Inspector toggle.

    I found this info on this Apple developer documentation page: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safari-developer-tools/inspecting-ios

  • LACT 0.5.3 Released For Managing AMD Graphics Cards Under Linux
  • That is...unfortunate.

    I've been thinking about learning Rust after hearing about it's benefits, but was put off by its ugly type syntax that I hate from C++ and the whole "fighting with the borrow checker to do simple stuff" thing. But now it seems it also has the terrible bloated dependency culture I hate from JavaScript too!

    IMO any security benefits from the increased memory safety are immediately nullified by the security nightmare that is hundreds of statically compiled dependencies...

    I guess I'll keep waiting on the sidelines and see how the standard lib and dependency culture evolves.

  • LACT 0.5.3 Released For Managing AMD Graphics Cards Under Linux
  • Wow I when you said 268 dependencies I figured JavaScript was involved…

    Is the culture of Rust/Cargo getting as bad as JS/NPM these days or is this developer just using an insane amount of dependencies? I don’t have any experience working with Rust so I’m genuinely curious. I stay away from JS in part due to the insane amount of dependencies every non-trivial project has.

    I’ve built projects in many languages and other than a few JS/React/ReactNative projects which seem to have unavoidably massive node_modules folders, I’ve never had more than maybe 10 dependencies in a project ever…

    GitHub - skyfloogle/red-viper: A Virtual Boy emulator for the 3DS

    Really cool development in the Virtual Boy emulation scene as of a couple days ago!

    For years and years I've wanted a Virtual Boy emulator on the 3DS since it's the perfect system to emulate the stereoscopic 3D effect, but one never came out. There was one called r3Ddragon that was partially developed years ago but it never really worked.

    Apparently over the past few months or so, a new developer forked that project and completed it! It's called Red Viper and plays all official Virtual Boy games at full speed on any 3DS with full stereoscopic 3D support! There have been some crashes reported by users now that it's available for testing, but I tried it out yesterday to play the Virtual Boy Wario Land game and it worked great!

    The graphics are super crisp on my New 3DS XL screen and the stereoscopic 3D effect is perfect! You can even change the default red color to any color you want and it has button mapping support to use the ABXY buttons as the second DPad when needed for some games (otherwise it's on the touch screen or vice versa).

    It should work on a 2DS but the games are very difficult to play without the stereoscopic effect and it kind of defeats the point, so I highly recommend using a 3DS. I happen to have a New 3DS but apparently it also plays full speed on a regular 3DS, so really any model is fine except the 2DS. Also the 3DS depth slider "works" but only as a toggle, due to how the games are programmed the depth is always at maximum or completely off (EDIT: As of version 0.9.1 the depth slider is now fully functional!). But honestly it looks great!

    I had completely given up hope that this would ever come out, but here we are!
