  • Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.

    Jump

  • Yes, I'm ready. I'm interested in buying all three new products. Whether I do depends on price. I'm fine with not buying them if I deem them not worth the cost for me.

    I kinda doubt Valve would produce and sell a Machine with a 1k USD target price. When watching the announcement video, I was wondering how affordable it would be, whether it would be something like 300 € (not having seen any specs), although the “runs even the big titles” puts that into question to a degree.

    There's no real use in speculating. It's better to just wait. I didn't look for or into third party information either. I'm waiting for official information, waiting for the next announcements and/with product page launches.

  • If you speak a language that has a formal 'you', when do you use it?

    • “Raus Alter, mach raus, du Wichser.”
    • Police officer turns around; “Wie bitte?”
    • “Tschuldigung.” (Brief pause.) “Sie Wichser.”
    • A bunch of police officers storm back into the apartment.

    Translating/paragphrasing:

    • Get out, man. Wanker.
    • Excuse me? / What did you say?
    • Sorry. Wanker, respectfully.

  • Should bots get reported?

  • Cross posts on Lemmy are separate posts. It shows up. The cross reference is an addition.

  • I remember this meme video where a guy insults a cop while addressing him with ‘du’, but as the cop turns towards him, he quickly corrects it with ‘sie’, making the insult 100 times better.

    I think they're asking, not just turning around.

    1. "Du Schwein"
    2. Officer: "was haben sie gesagt?" Or a short form like "bitte?"
    3. " Sie Schwein"

    The joke being that they're asking politeness form while retaining the insult. IMO the asking adds impact over just turning around, because the officer is offering a chance to pull back.

  • The video is hilarious. Absurd. Like a physical comedy skit with the curtain attempt at the end.

  • No, we don't. Just a cheeky reply because your comment broadly said "anyone online". :)

  • On a public forum, for me, it's also about not letting false claims or biased opinions stand without rebuttal or context or alternative views.

  • Maybe you need to try 200 times instead of only 40 times. /s

    The worst is old games where only those very experienced still play. Newer games should have matchmaking or randomness, but I guess even then, the subset of people playing online is already skewed towards invested people.

    Jump

  • My mind has been changed at times, from online discussions. At least adding to my considerations and thoughts.

    I hope I'm not considered evil though, maybe this comment was directed only at that kind of subset.

  • What kind? It's good to have it as an ideology amongst others to weigh and debate between ideologies and implementations of mixture of them.

  • What open source project is the most exciting for you right now?

    Jump

  • I'm used to implementing C# LINQ (method syntax) queries, which I like a lot (for simple queries) as a functional style linear data transformation process.

    It's a bit different than classic procedural scripts, but most things and scripts operate on data either way, where it's no worse and can be better in terms of scoping.

    When the simple, direct implementation does not succeed, I tend to do it step by step. Query into a variable, then I can print out the variable, verify my assumptions, and then start from the variable, continuing with the next set of transformations. Using stored json files instead of just variables can also be helpful.

    It could certainly change some more, given that it's not a 1.0 stabilized API. Still, I find it comparatively stable. Specifically, the core stuff.

    I've used Nushell at work to work with a mass of BSON files for managing "IoT" devices. After implementing a Rust plugin for BSON, Nushell was very useful, and everything else would have been much more of a hassle.

    There's also !nushell@programming.dev, btw.

  • What open source project is the most exciting for you right now?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I experienced a similar barrier.

    I got interested and hooked on the description, but hadn't used it productively or made the switch. Trying to use it felt quite irritating. After a few instances like that (maybe three to five), I had something I wanted to do and committed to finding the appropriate commands and syntax. After one or two such cases, I felt more comfortable, and progression was much easier through needing and finding additional individual commands, etc.

    Because it's so different, there's definitely a barrier, which I think is mainly the set of commands you have to know and, at times, data transformation flow (records vs tables vs lists, and the appropriate mental model to use the correct operations on them).

    I didn't use special resources or a full guide or introduction that was not the official docs.Mainly official Nushell docs, command help/docs, web search, and at times LLMs.

  • Nushell - I love that it exists, and I find it a joy to use over other shells - stable and rich enough as a productive driver, and being actively developed towards a stable 1.0

    C# - three more days until the next release, which adds only a few useful-to-me extensions, but the existing base, stability, and usefulness are part of its charm

  • that have gone on for 100s of years in governments… isn’t big and scary

    When I look back there's several things I find scary. We've had better decades, and I didn't want to go back.

    Pointing these things out and running alarm bells is important. That is a systematic recurring problem doesn't change anything about the problems at hand.

    Are you saying "there have been things like this before so we should see it as normal and not do anything about it or point it out"?
