Quoting: ScooptaI've avoided Haskell because it hurts my brain to look at. Not in the "I want to conquer it sort of way" but in the "run away in terror" sort of way. I'm really comfortable with imperative languages though so I usually do crazy things with them to challenge myself instead of trying to take on the beast that is functional programming. I write stuff like OpenGL game engines, amd64 kernels, lots of random Wayland utilities, a Java library that basically does what JNA does but without JNA because reasons. I wrote a semi-functional GObject Introspection parser for Java, the list of random things I work on is pretty open ended.
That sounds crazy! I hope you're making stuff public?

Valve releases a new update to the Steam Client, nice Linux fixes made it in again

Did you try disabling steam overlay?
Yeah but it is a separate thing.
Disabling stream overlay should get rid of all steam notifications.

I messed with the UI theme to get rid of notifications, but keep the screenshot functionality... Yes, I'm old and grumpy, too! ;-) (No, seriously: These notifications hurt immersion.)

PS: I'm not sure I know games with their own in-game notifications.

Quoting: TiedemannI'm still waiting for the day I can turn off those damn notifications though, both in-game and when starting the client.
But... you can!?
I'm talking about achievements and inventory popups, not friends stuff.
So you want some and hide others?

Bendy and the Ink Machine & Prison Architect going cheap in the new Humble Very Positive Bundle 3
17 Jul 2019 at 8:55 am UTC

Quoting: PhlebiacSteam said I already own Bendy and the Ink Machine (probably some prior bundle). However, it says the executable is missing; in fact, installing it just yielded an empty directory here. Is it working for anyone else?

Edit: verifying integrity in Steam says everything is good, so it must be an empty depot or something.

Edit 2: maybe I just had the demo, and they screwed up when they merged everything together:
Apr 27, 2017 Bendy and the Ink Machine Complimentary
I got the free first episode, and they managed to organize it so I cannot buy the full product now... :-(

So maybe Humble Bundle would be a way to get it?
Anyboy got a Bendy too much, maybe? :)

What I'm unsure about regarding manual compilation is if programs are usually equiped to uninstall (without leaving cruft) themselves...
