  • TypeScript is still built on JavaScript, all numbers are IEEE-754 doubles 🙃

    Edit: Actually I lied, there are BigInts which are arbitrarily precise integers but I don’t think there’s a way to make them unsigned. There also might be a byte-array object that stores uint8 values but I’m not completely sure if I’m remembering that correctly.

    Worth noting that there is such thing as color deficiency where specific colors appear more dull than they would for others. It isn’t technically colorblindness but could still make it harder to read these tests.

    One of my friends has this with red colors but could see everything else normally, and he described it as red looking way more desaturated than other colors (almost like a brown/gray?).





  • I’m a CS student and Linux was great for all of the programming classes. For any classes that were more writing focused you can still use the online versions of MS office/Google drive. I’m assuming there aren’t any programs you’ll need specific to psychology but that is sometimes a problem with some STEM majors like engineering

    The one problem that kept me dual-booting on my laptop was OneNote. I like taking notes using a pen for some classes (and my laptop has pen support) and nothing I tried on Linux even comes close in my experience. I tried obsidian + excalidraw plugin, along with xournalpp, but nothing came close for the way I take notes.




  • It’s naive to think that someone is at fault for falling prey to the psychological tactics publishers use to push people toward micro transactions.

    If you think about it, it’s really not that different from saying people with gambling addictions deserve to be broke. Microtransactions might seem like an obvious scam to a lot of people, but a lot of people fall it and waiving it away and saying they deserve it will only make the problem worse.
