It takes good taste in simplicity to craft well a complex design. #computer #engineering

@royal What a time to be alive when a website shares #tracking data with "We and our 848 partners" 🥲
(And the mouse thing too for sure! A #subscription mouse!?)

@Big_Diggity Wow well congrats!

@Big_Diggity Wow that all looks very delicious! Happy birthday to your dad!

@COSMIC_desktop Dark mode is great... until a uncooperative website blasts your retinas out 🤪

I will say, though, at least the highest GSP I've gotten (9.6mil) is with my main (Sheik) and not some rando like Ganondorf....

@scribblemacher I'm getting into the Zelda series a bit and I'm liking it so far, but yeah, "Secret stones" and "Demon king" do make me cringe... sorry Nintendo D:

(But really, I think there's a thing with people around my level ranking online better with some random character as opposed to their actual main)

Meanwhile, I go offline and play against a level-9 I used to struggle hard against, Terry, and succeed with two stocks to spare and no stress.

I used to try to climb the GSP ladder and used to be ranked better but I'm moreso just using online as practice. There's a SSBU club at my college, and a local not to far away from where I live while not at college; *that's* where I want to do well. And get to meet people IRL, make friends, and have fun together.

#SSBU So I've been practicing Sheik a lot lately. I generally don't like playing online, but I decided to go back online and play some and I feel like I'm getting better -- using more Sheik tech, having more toe-to-toe matches and holding my own a lot better -- but I'm only like at about 6mil -ish GSP. (We're not gonna even mention that my Ganondorf is above 7mil...)

Back to this old PFP :)

@emeric @COSMIC_desktop I'm sure they see the inconsistent margin size, COSMIC is just pre-alpha right?

@fribbledom I'd say that about the language design. The implementations have to be advanced, though, to support that kind of ease of use, with garbage collection and built-in threading and all.
That's how it tends to be; an easier-to-implement language like C is harder to use, but a harder-to-implement language like #Golang is easier to use.

Well, rarely; it doesn't do it every time. It's pretty strange

Waiting for the day Firefox fixes the bug where touchpad pinch-to-zoom on Wayland opens the search bar and changes your search engine... 🙂 weird.

@sleepybisexual When fighting some of the DLC I find it very helpful to focus more on *not getting hit* rather than *hitting the opponent*, you know? At least I see advice for that mentality in the Sheik community; might not be as useful for other fighters.

@FiveEyeTea I like the idea of my devices requiring both a passcode *and* a fingerprint, since fingerprints can't be stolen by "shoulder-surfing" and security footage, and copies of your passcode aren't left on everything you touch (e.g. more or less like fingerprints), and it is hard to force someone to give up their passcode if they *really* don't want to (unlike with fingerprints).

@FiveEyeTea I had heard something like that. I'll remember that, thanks.

@FiveEyeTea Interesting - never use biometrics? I'd have mine require a passcode and my fingerprint, but Samsung doesn't seem to offer the option...

Found it, part of my ASCII.s stdlib. Came up with a change, which compiles to about 24 bytes, compared to about 55 bytes, but uses a loop. These print out the tenths, hundredths, and thousandths places of a decimal number; I think I'll keep the former code, since it is branchless, I/O aside, and since I might want to remove the thousandths place anyway (since Q16+8 numbers aren't quite that precise).
