Theory:
1. Reinvent a square wheel
2. Understand what's so hard about making wheels
3. Observe how a round wheel someone invented a while ago performs better than your square one.
4. Appreciate the brilliant and simple solutions to all wheel design issues that a round wheel implements.
5. Throw away your square wheel.

Practice:
1. Reinvent a square wheel
2. Push it to production

Damn it I envy MumboJumbo for being happy with the stuff he builds in minecraft.

I can't remember the last time I made something I was happy with, minecraft or not.

Should I get a USB switch?

Switching my monitor between 2 computers is relatively easy - the builtin input selector does the job.

But switching the keyboard/mouse/soundcard is a bit of a pain, since the monitor's USB hub has only one upstream port. So I have to unplug the USB cable from one computer and plug it into the other.

USB switches seem to be much cheaper than KVM switches, I guess video is the hard part....

imagine buying a second-hand server-style KVM switch without cables

I wish I could redo my house's circuit breaker panel... it's kinda a mess but also critical infrastructure and I don't believe in my ability to put things back together when something goes not to plan :/

Also the wires that go into the wall are very short.

I wonder if it's just software, or if every field seems like a horrible mess when you know it well enough and are a perfectionist...

tfw. tempted have my own ACKs / sequence numbers on top of TCP, to figure out which messages were already received by the other party

And I say it as thr guy who played the hacker. And the hacker mechanics were fine.
But my friend who played the spy did ragequit multiple times.

Yesterday me and a friend finished playing Clandestine.

This game....

Their plan for an asymmetric co-op was good, and they clearly put a lot of care. Lots of minor details are done surprisingly well, eg. guards speak the language appropriate for the location where the mission is taking place.

But they screwed up the core mechanic. Sneaking and silent takedowns are incredibly, game-breakingly buggy. And the checkpoints are in stupid and unpredictable places.

Also looks like gtx 1070 price went down a lot last couple months around here, down to 1000 PLN used.

And the next thing after that is RX 6600 which starts at ~1800 PLN.

Kinda sucks there's no middle ground, except maybe a 1070 with a warranty.

reviews be like "i5-12400 is slightly better and $20 cheaper" yeah but a reasonable (as in, DDR4, and not H610) mobo for it is ~$60 more expensive than a B550 mobo for AMD.

lol Ryzen 5600 and 5600X are literally the same price now

RGB is nice as long as you don't use all the colors at once

Sometimes I think Czech is better than Polish - more regular and stuff - but then I see words like "vrh"
