I like to use tabs when I program. I like that I can be editing the same file in a network drive with my tiny screen and have my editor there show a tab as two spaces and my big screen where it shows as four. I like that when I'm screen sharing I can zoom in and bump my font size, then set the tabs to render as smaller so I don't need to run reindent on the whole file. I like that when I'm using a boring IDE with no customization it just inserts an indentation.

I also hate auto-closing parentheses and brackets.

on How do you tip? · c/asklemmy · 0 pts · 6d

I tip 30% on top of the post-tax if it was good or if I like the people. I have the means, so it's only fair. If the service was terrible or the food was awful I'll do 20%.

It's quite different. I'm a programmer and find it substantially better suited to my mental model than FreeCAD. Don't get me wrong, I respect FreeCAD -- even envy it a bit and all the features -- but I need to imagine my shapes and describe how they fit together. I spend so much of my free time thinking of equations that product shapes (yay game dev) that it comes pretty naturally.

If you don't program or prefer a more visual, arguably professional, workflow, you probably won't like OpenSCAD.

I think back to times I've eaten a thing and remember the sensation, then try replaying the feeling to see if it would be just as satisfying.

At the moment, I'm in the mood for a snack. I'm thinking about the dried fruit I had yesterday and the sensations it elicited when I ate it. Those same sensations of flavor and texture sound agreeable, so I'm thinking that would be nice.

Not everyone has this form of recall all the time. Some people have it intermittently. I asked my partner what she wanted to eat and she said she could not tell if she was hungry or if any food sounded good. I took this as a warning and we stopped at the nearest restaurant immediately. Fortunately, this was the right decision and we both felt better afterwards.

If you're feeling hungry, imagine the smells of a food. Sense memory tends to run deep in people. If you find that you can't recall or reject a sensation, that's okay! Plenty of folks are in the same situation.

Who's a bean-dog? You're a bean-dog? Who's a bean-dog? You're a dog.

Who's a bean-dog? You're a bean-dog. Who's a bean-dog? Dog dog dog.

I'm not good at musical notation, but I'm guessing it's (E A B B) (C#m E A A) (E A B B) (C#m A E)

Being around people feels like I'm holding my breath. Anyone. Even the person I've been dating for over a decade. But I need so desperately to be alone so I can breathe.

When people mistreat their significant others it triggers something in me. I overcompensate, doting on my SO. I make dinner, bake treats, clean, take care of doggo, and work full time. I get from Friday night to noon on Saturday for myself, and those are the only hours of the week where I feel like I can relax.

I care about my partners. I only want the best for them, but I'm so tired.

on Which is it Lemmy? · c/lemmyshitpost · 2 pts · 19d

Honestly the worst decision they could have made while writing. I'm still kinda' mad about it and I don't know why.

Yes. In fact, zero-knowledge proofs make it possible for me to do something like prove my age in a way that is verifiable by the site without the site knowing any other information about me AND without the government knowing what website I'm asking. It doesn't even require an API. The government needs to digitally sign my identity papers and publish its signature. One time download and you can even do offline checks.

The EU digital ID program does this. Everyone has privacy.

on Benchmarking C# vs gdscript · c/godot · 6 pts · 24d

No. I think the general consensus is that C# is faster.

From the devs: "According to some preliminary benchmarks, the performance of C# in Godot — while generally in the same order of magnitude — is roughly ~4× that of GDScript in some naive cases. C++ is still a little faster; the specifics are going to vary according to your use case. GDScript is likely fast enough for most general scripting workloads. C# is faster, but requires some expensive marshalling when talking to Godot."

The cases where GDScript are faster consist of those where there's a great deal of marshalling and unmarshalling, like with heavy engine calls and signaling. If you're doing compute heavy work.

GDScript is still plenty fast, so use the one that's most comfortable.

Define "know". I know the woman downstairs from me and her dog. I know the couple actually the hall and their dog. They just had a baby and I don't know the name. I know the guy down the hall from me. He's a good guy. I know the woman down the hall the other way and the guy on the same side. The other two units are rented on and off. New people. I forgot the name of the two folks that just moved in. Haven't met the ones on the other side yet.

Knowing names and small things? Is that to know someone?

There are over a million people within 15km of me, so that's not much.
