  • Reading this thread, I kinda feel weird.

    When I was a child, I use to take tablets for headache (no idea which ones. I was a child.) and almost every time, the headache came back more intense than before, when the effect wore off.

    Later, I started understanding that headaches (and other pains) happen for a reason and it is better to find out the reason and fix it, than just turn off the alarm.

    So now, even if I get hurt due to something, I say no to pain relievers. This has even saved me from re-injuring a previous injury a few times.

    • Sprained ankle / back pain : exercise and yoga.
    • Cramps from exercise: next time do proper stretching after exercise.
    • menstruation: I have no idea. never had that. sorry. But I can say for sure, people around me don’t tend to resort to taking pills all the time. Even those that have it hard.
    • broke a ligament: definitely don’t take a pill, or you won’t realise if you are about to break it again.

    Over here, pain management pills seems more like a last resort and not to be used for something that happens regularly. So, reading about it being treated like cereal, feels pretty weird.





  • Doesn’t even startup on my box,

    It needs to startup and then go to that point (after you select the projection) to cause the crash.
    It definitely caused something other than the application to get into an invalid state. Which is why I am apprehensive about trying it out again to answer your comment. Probably was the display driver, which is why it didn’t just turn off after that.




  • There’s this game “HyperRougue”. Run it on Arch.

    hyperrogue-git version 13.0d.r60.g27fb2d92-1

    Go to settings -> 3D configuration -> projection -> projection type -> . Cycle through the projection types. One of them causes something good enough to call a crash.

    I don’t remember anymore if it was just a display driver crash or a kernel crash and I haven’t updated to a newer version (which might have fixed it).


  • What language were you using?
    Python maybe? I don’t know of any other interpreted language, that you may be calling system commands from, without saving to disk

    I use C and C++ and my IDEs save to disk before compiling. Makes sense to not try compiling when there are potentially 2 versions (one on RAM or /tmp and one on Disk) and the build system might be running multiple commands, which the IDE may/may not know of, in my case.







  • But old films still featured recognizable human bodies and human faces—bodies that could theoretically be achieved by a single person without the aid of a team of personal trainers, dieticians, private chefs, and chemists.

    Well, but when those bodies we not the absolute epitome of military fitness, would you believe them doing the feats that they do in the movies.
    Sure it’s not 100% believable even now, but it kinda feels more “fine” if someone with stone-like protruding abs and pecs, takes a pillar to the torso and gets pushed back 50ft instead of getting squished.





  • I’m a keyboard guy.
    Also, I intend on using the same nKRO keyboard for Elite Dangerous, X4, Nanotale and other games.
    It’s not very frequently, that I notice a ghosting problem, but over time, it has become bad enough for me to want one.

    I actually bought one, recently. ANT Esports, Mechanical, 24 KRO with anti-ghosting. Took about an hour to realise, it was false advertising.
    Even normal key combinations, which worked on a cheap Dell 100, didn’t work on this.
    So, waiting to get a good one.
