How a 23-year-old first-time Firefox coder fixed a 22-year-old bug
Makes sense, motivation is very powerful. It helps to also not be jaded from years of working in the area.

Google Fiber is offering early access to $250 per month 20-gig service - The Verge

Google fiber just rolled out to my neighborhood a couple months ago, I'm not sure how they prioritize rollout but I guess it's still happening as long as Big ISP doesn't have a monopoly stranglehold on the area.

No Man's Sky dev reflects on the new Very Positive rating on Steam and promises that this is only the beginning: 'We aren't even close to being finished yet'

there are towns, though when I last played the only interactions were really the conflict event thing, and I don't think it really did anything. I'm curious by what you're thinking is meaningful for the NPCs to do. Something like DF where they build out their own skills/story?

XFX 7900xtx power cable question
Nothing wrong with using individual cables. Theoretically, there isn't a problem with using the daisy chained connector unless you're really sucking down a lot of power. I've always used individual cables just to be safe.

I'm a beginner web developer and coder and just want to show this little work-in-progress Pokemon app I'm building to help me learn React and API integration
Nice work so far, keep it up! Going to another page makes the whole page flash with "Loading" - think about how you can send the next request without re-rendering into that 'loading' state each time.

Yeah, that's pretty much it exactly. Great book, oddly enough that is pretty much world building but not greatly part of the story.

After many troubles, I have completed my first ever keyboard build, my very own Lily58

Like the others said you can map the keys however you want. I removed caps lock and put shift there. I mapped all the numbers to a numpad-like layout on it's own layer, so all of those numbers and special characters are on one hand without needing to lift. The rest of them are on the normal number row on the main layer.
I actually don't use the two "middle" buttons at all

I've learned that in these scenarios, show it to somebody else. They'll see the stupid mistake you made within seconds.

What music are you starting the week with?
I'm going through Kate Bush's discography, I didn't give everything a full listen after Stranger Things came out. I ended up ordering Never For Ever on vinyl.

Halo Infinite was sitting at a *mixed* rating for a very long time, but over the course of multiple seasons, content updates and consistent updates to community requested features...

Cool, that's interesting to hear. I played for a month or two when it came out and pretty much abandoned it because it was boring and didn't seem like anything was going to be fixed. Maybe I'll try it out again. Need something to play while drinking a few beers that's not rocket league lmao

Funnily enough I had the issue with this comment, but I popped out to profile settings and set it to English and now I can see it. Thanks!

Typing is one of those things that is just experience. Grab a typing test program and put in the time. It took me a few weeks, starting with doing simple things like the equivalent of jkjlj; sets until my pea brain got the minimal amount of muscle memory to be able to use it in the wild. YMMV but I can still use QWERT as well, but it feels weird and not as natural anymore.

Cheeseball - by Bill Mayer
Reply in thread
Pointing it out, it does look weird so I did some looking.
He's got it listed on his website and it apparently is shown in an art gallery in Georgia: https://www.thebillmayer.com/original-1/lady-camembert-the-cheeseball
and there's an article talking about it from 2018, so I'm leaning toward it just looking a little awkward but not generated. https://fashionmaniac.com/quirky-portraits-by-bill-mayer-imagine-flora-and-fauna-as-high-society-humans/

My favourite OSes ordered by my preferences
Reply in thread
I'm not one to stan for mac because I'd rather just use Linux, but there's a little dot under the icon in the dock if the application is open (windows has a line which is definitely more visible), and you can change the size of the dock. I make it as small as possible and have it grow big when hovering. You can also put it on any side, doesn't have to be the bottom, or horizontal, and it can be hidden so it doesn't take any space unless you mouse over the edge. I think the top bar can work like that too. I hate having things pop up so I don't do that, I just try to minimize the resting screen space used. With my settings it takes up about as much space as the windows task bar.
You can also fullscreen apps and use multi desktop if you really need all your screen space. The laptop work gave me has a notch for the webcam so the os reserves space at at the top for fullscreen as well otherwise apps would be getting part of it cut off (i.e., search bar on slack), but it's 16:10 so whatever.
That being said... let it out bro, I get red in the face any time I have to use MS office products for work lmao
