  • Are you me and your friend is also me?

    This sounds a HELL of a lot like my scenario. I swapped to Bazzite from Mint on account of NVidia/gaming issues, and IMMEDIATELY noticed a big improvement, but I’ve had a handful of issues dealing with the flatpak of JetBrains Rider, and Firefox for that matter.

    One thing I figured out early was to configure permissions to allow Rider to access the filesystem outside of its sandbox. That seems to be not something that flatpaks are setup for, by default.

    More recently, I found that flatpak sandboxes don’t inherit PATH or other global system variables. Which makes sense, but I haven’t figured out the solution yet.

    I would definitely take a shot at another KDE distro, cause I also have liked KDE/Plasma (that’s what Bazzite runs, right?) more than I did Cinnamon, but I don’t know anything about what Bazzite does to get great NVidia performance for gaming, or how I might replicate it on a non-immutable distro.




















  • The same IEEE spec that introduced base-2 floating point models was updated in 2008 to include some base-10 models that eliminate these issues. Many languages already support them natively, as well as most database engines. Otherwise, you can probably find third-party-library support.

    If you don’t have access to an IEEE decimal implementation, or if you just wanna be a rulebreaker, the common strategy is to just store only plain integers, and the precision level you want. So, say, if you’re just dealing with simple american dollars, you’d just make sure to always interpret the integer value as “cents”. If you need more precision than that, you might do “millicents”.











  • I tried it a few weeks ago. Streamed it from my PC to the living room, cause I didn’t feel like getting off the couch.

    It was better than I thought it’d be, but I’m not keen on doing it again, when I have KBM available. Tough to to say how much of the discomfort is just fighting my KBM muscle memory, and how much is “game fundamentally too complicated for controller”. I only had one REAL complaint about the way a particular button/input was mapped.
