Amazing music tagger and batch renamer, for those of us who still have all our music as files.

You could probably just output OBS to a virtual webcam and just do a regular video call over Discord.

If you create data with the intention for that data to be used with a program then that data becomes a part of that program and you are therefore programming when creating that data.

The center bottom one looks like the sicp snake.

I have 64GB of RAM and 8GB of VRAM, I only have a TB of storage. The only time I’ve ever filled up my RAM is due to memory leak.

I don’t really want to do everything in one language but if I did have to pick it would probably be Julia. It’s slightly simpler than Python, and significantly faster without relying on APIs written in C. And has some really great features like broadcasting, multiple dispatch, and a good type system. The only place I feel like Python has it beat is quantity of libraries and support network, which both basically come from the same origin of just having more users. I’m hoping more data science types switch over in the next few years, since Julia is already great for most things mathematical. And I hope that momentum allows Julia to perhaps reach out to other domains.

I just use /

I don’t think having a swap partition or file would be all that useful because I have plenty of memory. I’ve never had to reinstall Linux so I’m not sure why I would need a separate home. If I did bork my OS somehow I’m fairly confident I could repair it from a live distro. And even if I did end up having to save my home I could just copy the files I want to another drive if it really came to that.

This is like when Paint gets new features.

I’d be more interested in what obscure text editors, window managers, etc people were using regardless of distro. Distro in my mind is about software release and install philosophy, any distribution that comes with a lot of preinstalled software is generally built on the back of a more skeletal distribution, and is interesting mostly for what software choices it makes.

Sounds like a bios issue, you need to set USB devices to have a higher priority than your internals,. You can probably access your bios settings by pressing something like F10-12 on boot, usually there is a splash screen that tells you what to press.

Just go with whatever software distribution you use.

In effect, we conjure the spirits of the computer with our spells.

What’s the “maintenance cost”? Arch had a pretty big setup cost, but mostly because I wanted to configure it to my liking, but I haven’t had to do any maintenance. My Arch server has had low setup time as well.

Linux users are more likely to be programmers and even if they aren’t they often edit dotfiles (configuration) or write simple scripts to automate workflow. I also think Linux users just have a tendency to shop around until they settle on a favorite piece of software, even distro hopping is quite common.

Big fan of Julia for anything that requires a lot of computation. It feels easy to write things in an optimized way without having to work against the language.

I have a soft spot for Common Lisp. It encourages me to write chunks of code that are very evergreen in the sense that I could easily use them in a future project without modification. I don’t find myself using it all that much though.

The Arch and Gentoo wikis are fantastic resources, even if you use neither flavor of Linux.

I use Arch on my personal computers but on servers I usually opt for Debian unless I’m planning to run bleeding edge software.

What’s the arch user equivalent of getting asked if a fish is an animal?

What’s the vegan equivalent of getting asked if you use PC or Mac?

Vegan Arch user btw

Chaotic good looking to become chaotic gooder with a third misshapen monitor.

That’s great for you but that might not be true for someone you recommend it to, or decides to give it a try after you mention you use it. Someone might go looking for help or tips there.
