I was that kid. Get them a copy of Rhythm Heaven if you can find one, or one of its spiritual successors like Rhythm Doctor.

Especially slightly angled walls!

I had been playing Minecraft back in the Technic modding era, lots of item tubes and machine blocks, and I remember looking at my actual real life washing machine and thinking “I bet I could use a wooden pipe to extract that into the dryer”

It’s a digital image of a painting!

(Six, if you fold the pages back.)

I don’t usually “pin to top” or “pin to bottom” but I often have pseudo-folders that use a similar approach, for instance

• Healthcare
• Mail
• Taxes 2020
• Taxes 2021
• (etc)
• Work 2020 (Name of job)
• Work 2021 (Name of job)
• (etc)

Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy.

Learning good technique is hard and boring. Solve a problem the wrong way first, and you’ll find out what technique improvements are worthwhile.

I have adhd and my idle stim is shifting my weight from one foot to the other. I’m like a living metronome. Drives people crazy.

I would much rather learn a new word than slog through a glib deluge.

I use ! to sort to top, and Ω to sort to bottom. So far haven’t had any compatibility problems.

For the curious: the use case for this is when you want to reduce nesting but also want a sort of “soft hierarchy” within a folder. I could separate my music folder into albums and playlists, but then I’d have a mostly empty folder, so instead I put both in the same directory and use prefix naming to sort them.

if the states aren’t obvious, use an enum with two values, and name them both. Thats what enums are for.

I know what the headline actually means but i’m choosing to believe that donny just found out about calendars.

ah, yeah, if you have an android game without built-in controller support then you’re out of luck right now, sorry.

Retroarch and Steam Link both have android apps and support controller mapping, but I don’t know of any OS-level tools.

why doesn’t “one” rhyme with “bone”?

I believe this is so they can make keyboards with a fancy “LinkedIn Button” on them, just like they’re trying to do now with Copilot.

I finally hacked my 3ds, using the tools at https://3ds.hacks.guide. It was surprisingly easy, and gives you access to

• homebrew!
• emulators!
• online play for most games! (see: Pretendo Network)
• custom home screen themes!

I waited until Nintendo shut down their servers 'cause I was worried about bans, but now there’s no excuse. Go liberate your 3ds, it takes less than an hour.

Tra-la-la!

Starting anything from scratch is a huge risk these days. At best you’ll have something like the python 2 -> 3 rewrite overhaul (leaving scraps of legacy code all over the place), at worst you’ll have something like gnome/kde (where the community schisms rather than adopting a new standard). I would say that most of the time, there are only two ways to get a new standard to reach mass adoption.

1. Retrofit everything. Extend old APIs where possible. Build your new layer on top of https, or javascript, or ascii, or something else that already has widespread adoption. Make a clear upgrade path for old users, but maintain compatibility for as long as possible.

2. Buy 99% of the market and declare yourself king (cough cough chromium).

It’s my favorite controller for Steam, yeah! I have gyro aiming set up in minecraft; right trigger half pull enables gyro-to-mouse, and left touchpad pulls up a bunch of menu hotkeys.

If you want a budget controller with lots of features, go on ebay and get a used Dualshock 4 (PS4 controller). It’s got a touchpad and gyro so you can do some interesting stuff with it.
