I have shitty music taste, and ended up downloading nightcore songs from YouTube. And the videos were usually named “Nightcore - song title”. So chances of duplicate songs end up a lot higher when the only unique thing is the title of the song…

They had different names like (1) if they were duplicates. But all my files were named something like “Artist - title.mp3”, and the Metadata tag for artist and title were generated based on the filename. I don’t know how they would look after being synced over to my phone from Spotify though, but it is probably how Spotify names the files that broke it on my phone.

All the files were in the same folder on my pc too, for reference. So they have unique filenames, but two files could have the exact same artist and song title. I give that’s it’s an obscure edge case, but really frustrating.

Not sure if it fully fits, but one of my old HTC android phones has a bug where it would randomly fail any network request, by just never finishing it. No timeouts either.

It never got fixed. Loading a page in the browser, got stuck, and would need a new refresh. Some apps like Baconreader would get stuck doing the same, any app could have it happen. But sometimes the stars align, Facebooks Messenger had (has? don’t see it anymore) the chat bubbles that showed over whatever else on the screen. And i clicked one of those, and they got stuck loading. And there was literally no way to close it. There was no timeouts, so i eventually had to hold the power button and reboot…

Other notable mentions, Spotify on android did not handle duplicated files (since you could add your own music to it) with the same filename or at least artist - title metadata. It would always only play one of them. It was very interesting because Spotify on pc worked, so i could play the second track fine there, but if i told it to continue play through my phone then it would continue form the same timestamp on other track… Might be related to my phone being stupid, but there was a whole range of infuriating spotify issues. So i just moved to use poweramp and store and sync local music since i had a lot there to begin with .

I have had a lot over time : Motherload Idk the name anymore, but something like fighter Z, a space invaders like game were enemies scroll in as you blast things away with a super jet. A space discovery game, was in Norwegian. A mystical signal arrives and you need to research it and eventually send out a space ship.

I was reminded of another i missed, Sinjid: Shadow of the Warrior. A ninja fighter flash game.

Last one I guess I might be missing was a 2d like game where the word was blocks like Minecraft but square board levels, angled like a diamond, I think it’s called isometric. sorta like the q*bert games I think. Don’t remember much of the goal, but walk around and collect gems I think. I believe most levels were mostly green grass and water/rivers separating areas. Main character might have been a girl.

Fork it so i have my version, regardless if the original goes away. (Assuming Github doesn’t nuke all repos of course like they did with youtube-dl for a while)

We got solid state to come challenge the car market in a few years. Supposedly both safer and bigger capacity. Just remains to be seen when it actually arrives in the average car. It’s a tech that hasn’t quite managed to get out of laboratories.

It’s not helping unfortunately, it’s just a blanket change in colors by some filter. The taskbar highlight is bad to begin with. Ideally the should use red/orange for warning highlights and used bright white. But a weak pink isn’t going to be more visible even if it was turned redish. It’ll still be weak.

And it does change every other thing on screen, which won’t be good for me since colors aren’t an issue normally, and even worse if it affect screen sharing. Taskbar changes is just straight up bad UX that tries to look good.

My experience with W11 on the work laptop.

Taskbar sucks, maybe because I’m colorblind but I can te what my selected program is and programs with notifications (Teams) look like the focused program. Apparently notification boxes there are pink now. Can’t find any accessibility setting but fuck the colorblind I guess. It feels wrong to click the highlighted icon I for years have learned will mean that I minimize it…

And why all the dots? And why is the notification dot the largest, so I can even tell which window is actually focused?

Outlook doesn’t open with focus, especially the window that is supposed to pop up and warn me of upcoming meetings. Really annoying.

Teams notifications just don’t show if you are in a meeting and that is focused, they used to do that on W10.

Might be a Firefox bug, but there’s a lot of new visual bugs. Github diff view is randomly strongly colored, and randomly changes to the old weaker background colors when scrolling/resizing the windows. And a surprising amount of scrollbars in grids that weren’t there before.

I just wish W11 at least worked with the regular features of W10.

Tesla somehow manages to do well(at least prior to the nazi events). Still at a good price in Norway.

But all other manufacturers have dragged their feet with EVs, and that price cost of starting is large enough that they are in trouble. I’m not a huge fan of China, but they did the investment and are ahead exactly because of that (and crazy subsidies). Being left behind is their own fault imo, and I think that applies a lot to EU as well. Eg. WV.

Github actually does that too, in some cases at least.

My solution to most things, make it a chore.

Like, if you don’t buy it, you can’t drink it. If you have it, put it in an inconvenient place so you you won’t see it or bother getting it.

Try making a list without copying every time you add something. Mutability matters then. Imagine copying 10000 elements, or copying 10000 references to items every time something were to be added or changed.

I’m still a windows pleb, so no Zed for me. Fleet I haven’t heard of before.

I’m also very much one that likes a lot of convenience. RustRover is know from experience with both pycharm and Rider. But my main points are convenient functionality, autocomplete, debugger, code navigation, formatting and cleanup and git diff readily available. RustRover might be big and heavy, but it let’s me focus on writing and running my code without much issues.

The following isn’t any professional advice or anything, I am writing HTML manually for my hobby blog code. I don’t have much experience with HTML outside occasionally reading it.

I write a bit by hand, to layout my blog page, which is using HTMX. Generally I use RustRover since that actually gives details for attributes and such along with autocomplete. And apparently yesterday it asked if I wanted to enable HTMX support, which was even more intriguing. The main articles are however converted from markdown to HTML.

I do want a better way to design with preview of my page but I think it’s a long shot to find something that does HTMX at the same time. Especially since that often means having segregated pieces of HTML mixed into one document at page loading.

I made a super basic blog by hand using actix-web. Basic processing of markdown into HTML and then present it through handmade (and chatgpt assisted) html+css with htmx to spice things up and try to do mimic a single page application. I don’t have much web experience though, so much of it is crude.

I don’t host myself yet, I used Shuttle which procides free hosting for hobby rust projects. It also comes with postgres so I have been looking into how to move from storing articles in files to a database for more consistent article support. Shuttle also supports other things than actix-web, so you don’t havr to use that specifically.

While I said blog, I don’t support new articles without a redeploy yet… And it only has like 3 random articles based on reddit posts. But it works at least.

I guess I should be happy I applied a work discount, which extended my subscription until Oktober 2026 or something.

Because I want to be a God.

It’s a bit of hyperbole, but I was using some program on my pc and was frustrated because it didn’t do things I wanted it to do. Or it had bugs, and there was no way for me to get that changed, so I was left to pray that somehow the creator would find this small problem and fix it. I was envious of those people that could make these windows with buttons that made things happen. I wanted this power that transcended what I could see on my screen, and change how that world worked.

And so, I learned to program. I took the powers to shaped my own creations and ascended.

Then you have a bit more to do yeah, you should look into object oriented programming and classes. Classes are pretty much everywhere in C#. At the beginner level they aren’t as bad as they seem but you need to understand it’s basics. The guide I linked in another comment also has short introduction to using a class for example.

In my case, I had local music synced up in a playlist, and the playlist still did shuffle though my music. (which Spotify didn’t know the artist of given that it wasn’t part of their library.) The broken shuffle was just one of many reasons why I stopped using streaming and went with local music players back in the day.

I sure don’t sound helpful saying this, but it’s mostly about finding the equivalent to the python action/types, and typing them out when making functions and variables. Though 99% of the time, you are completely fine defining variables as var to avoid excessive typing.

I assume you dealt a bit with classes in python, if not then you’re doing double time with both changing language and learning object oriented classes at the same time.

If there is any specific I can try to give some clarity since I also came from Python to C#.
