@jk of course, that doesn't help if the device isn't a desktop computer.

sure love technology

@jk my step grandfather had someone install teamviewer and he just gets tech support from friends and family through that now. it's really the only way to do this sort of thing remotely, so long as the internet doesn't die...

All I can think about is how over the years of reading and writing Rust, I've learned more and more to relentlessly simplify things and stay practical. It's made me so much stronger as a programmer and software engineer.

Rust is the future of software.

It's been almost 5 years since I first started working in Rust.

I can't believe it's been that long. Where did time go? It feels like it's been ages since mio was first conceived. async/await was just informal discussion. I was just starting to target the Nintendo 3DS for homebrew with it.

Doom Eternal 

I will push through on Nightmare. I will 100% it on my first pass. This game is too kick ass to give up on.

Neoliberals blaming millennials for the covid outbreak because we apparently are going out to bars and drinking in close contact too much.

Doom Eternal 

Doom Hunters boss really kicking my ass. I'm really getting the flow of the game now, though.

@monorail it's software mouse cursor, no hardware mouse option for the menus. in-game mouse input is raw though

Hey Samsung, if the TV OS crashes while it's in standby, it shouldn't restart and turn on. This is basic UX stuff, c'mon.

Smart TVs were a mistake.

covid-19, self 

So, there is a high probability I was exposed to the coronavirus a week ago. Zero clinics nearby are able to run tests on the person this doctor thinks has covid, so I can't and nor can anyone else know for sure.

There is a serious problem in requiring that you have been exposed to someone who is confirmed to have it. Even if tests were available, this policy means most people who should be tested can't be, especially 2 or 3 degrees separated.

re: cover 19 

@pandora_parrot they did say it would have a sharply asymptotic rise. Kind of worried as we move into April.

By custom handling acks, you get a lot more freedom to multiplex with varying degrees of ordering and reliability. This frees up your protocol to do things more concurrently and redundantly to counteract network unreliability.

Been reading a lot about udp based game networking and quite amazed at how much data you can send with very low latency, if you're clever

this game has me screaming and shouting and jumping and raging and it is so FUCKING fun and SO hard

re: piracy 

@marisa it's entirely possible it's a troll .exe and there are some posts online saying it stops after the third level

re: piracy 

@pandora_parrot bethesda spent thousands of dollars to license denuvo anti-piracy and wasted all of it because they included the original pre-denuvo exe in the game download.

they 0-day'd their own game.

piracy 

the bethesda launcher version of doom eternal includes an EXE with no denuvo.

oh my god.
