Some C/C++ extension process once reduced my laptop to a crawl, and I couldn't close VS Code, so I killed the process through the task manager, simple enough, right?
Long story short, I started smelling burning plastic and saw that, somehow, there was no VS Code process, but the extension had a separate process that was still running at full speed doing idk what. I almost burned myself when I picked up my laptop. So I'm not very happy when I see VS Code

I understood that when once we decided to stay longer and worked for 12h one day, and then spent the next morning un-fucking what we screwed up during those extra hours.
Or when I spent an hour debugging something late in the day, only to come in the morning and find the problem in 15 mins. At least in software development, effectiveness dramatically drops when you're tired and it's really not worth it killing yourself to do something 2h faster.
I never completed a CFOP solve, I just got to F2L and then looked at Roux and it seemed more attractive. I need around 2:30 with the beginner's method, and with Roux it varies a lot on how my block building goes, but my fastest was a very lucky 1:36.
The first one I found in the shop honestly. It says YongJun on the white center in Mandarin, but I can't tell you much more than that.
Well I learned the beginner solution at first and then learned about the existence of methods like CFOP, Roux, ZZ and the rest. I looked at CFOP first, but I'm really really slow with F2L, and all the algorithms and cases you have to learn look really daunting. Then I found a beginner tutorial for Roux and idk, I like the feel of it and you don't need that many algorithms to get started. Block building gives you a lot of options, for the corners you can make do with sune and jperm (or just memorize 7 OLL cases with the cross), and the rest is pretty straightforward.
Also spinning those Ms gives me my daily dose of seratonin.
Hello!
I bought my first rubik's cube with magnets three days ago and I totally understand how this can become such an obsession for people, I knew there had to be a lemmy community!
I learned the roux method (at least a simplified version), and I hope to achieve a solve under a minute eventually. Currently I need a minute only for block building lol
"Mother" by Maxim Gorky and "Escape from freedom" by Erich Fromm, sadly a very relevant book. There was a book fair in my country a few weeks ago, so I grabbed whatever I could find.
Well, we found out...
Is this really what we are going to be? I don't recall the community every banning people left and right for comments like these. I myself made similar arguments before, where is my ban and comment removal? OP here did not post anything in bad faith, they didn't come to troll, nobody complained and there also wasn't a flood of the community. There was a total of 17 comments, 7 were removed, and 5 are just the mod getting into fights with people, and the post was locked after that. This is something you support?
Speaking of the mod, they are aggressive and insulting in every comment they make, almost every post is "don't vote for Harris", and this has been flooding the local instance for some time now (11 posts "don't vote for Harris" in 2 days last week). There is absolutely nothing constructive in this whole story, just one person making as much noise as possible without adding anything constructive and then banning people who make good faith counter-arguments. I thought this was one mod out of control, but if you support all of this, if this is what the slrpnk anarchist community is, I have to say that I am profoundly disappointed in this instance. I can only hope that the majority of slrpnk.net would condemn this whole story, they just aren't aware.

Update: this has been popping in and out of my head ever since I saw it, and I started learning Rust yesterday. They have won.
