It's from my new and expanding AHK 2 library dq.ahk. I thought I'd post it separately because this is a question that seemed to be asked often according to Google, but never with a modular answer.

EditWidthFromCols(Cols, FontName := "", FontSizePt := "", Debug := 0) {
    /*
    Calculates how wide a multiline Edit control has to be in order to be fit n characters of text in 
    one line. AHK already lets us size Edits by number of rows of text, but a matching option to 
    size an Edit by character count is missing.

I want to have a better understanding of how resolution scaling ultimately works. I am using a Quest 2 connected by link cable, which means there are 3 different places for me to set resolution:

1. In the Oculus software as a global setting.
2. In SteamVR, as a global setting (resolution each eye, seems to detect what's been set in Oculus), and a per-application setting (a multiplier applied to resolution each eye).
3. In ITR, as a resolution multiplier.

How does ITR's resolution slider and upscaling work with all this?

Let's say I have my settings as:

• Oculus: 1216 x 1216 per eye (resolution slider at minimum)
• SteamVR: 100% multiplier (detects 1216 x 1232 per eye)
• ITR: 200% resolu

I've played about 30 hours of ITR on Quest 2, and then decided that I should get over my dislike of cables and just use a link cable to play it on PCVR*. The graphical quality is very different of course (PCVR environments are much more complex), but that's not really what stood out.

ITR is a much tougher game on PCVR! Or to put it another way, ITR's gameplay is more limited on Quest 2. It's likely due to the Quest's hardware limitations, but there are things like:

• Darkness is more of a challenge in Q2. The Night Eye artifact is terrible. Flashlights' ranges are very short, so enemies can get closer. Flashlights don't stay on when you put them down, so you can't do the PCVR thing of putt

It would be good if the ‘Today’ view showed which wallet was active, and allowed you to change to a different wallet right there.

Currently, changing between a private/shared wallet takes five taps (Settings > Wallets > Private/Shared tab > Show This Wallet > Today view).

Thanks I love you

Just went through this, so I thought I'd document it for Google. What I wanted was a) for Emacs to open new files in the same frame where possible, and b) for my init.el to actually work in the new frames.

1. Put .emacs.d in user folder

It saves a lot of messing around if your .emacs.d is in C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming, but if you're like me, you actually keep it on Dropbox or something. So I made a symbolic link that points to it on Dropbox:

• Start an elevated (admin) cmd prompt
• cd C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming
• mklink /D .emacs.d C:\Dropbox\Apps\emacs\.emacs.d (for example)

2. Make a shortcut to start the Emacs Daemon

1. Make a shortcut to _emacs-28.1

Just thought I'd document this fix here.

I have Emacs running portably on Dropbox through a batch script that sets the HOME environment variable:

REM  Set the environment variable HOME, which Emacs uses as the base directory.
set HOME=%~dp0

REM Run Emacs, passing any parameters to it as well.
"D:\Dropbox\Apps\emacs\emacs-28.1\bin\runemacs.exe" %*

I began getting this error whenever I tried to list ELPA packages:

I recently had an issue with AirLink where it had worked perfectly for months, but suddenly just wouldn't pair to the PC one day, even though there had been no changes to firmware or anything. I eventually found that it's probably connected to Fast Startup.

In Windows 10 and 11, Fast Startup (enabled by default) makes your computer start up faster after being shut down. It does this by not actually shutting down your computer, but just hibernating it instead. What this means is that all of the resetting and stuff that you'd expect to happen from a shutdown is not being done. For me, it eventually led to a network error that was only resolved when both my router and computer were properly r

Edit: Wow what did I do to that title? I mean “Please, single-rail barrel adapters with the rail underneath”

I like the RailedBarrelExtenderSingle and RailedBarrelExtenderMiniSingle (the rounded muzzle-mounting rail adapters that only have one rail), but these add a rail to the top of the gun, and I often want to have the rail on the bottom instead. For example, for adding a laser or a foregrip. I know that the four-way adapter exists but I like the look of the single-rail ones!

Could you please add versions of these that give us rails underneath? Thanks I love you 👏🏼

So imagine an RPG-7’s most basic HEAT rocket hitting a standard solid-core wooden door, the kind you would have as an exterior door on your house. Would the shaped liner simply penetrate through and leave a hole, or would the force of the explosive that shapes the liner be enough to blow the door up completely?

So if you search “NFT scammed” on Twitter, you’ll find people reporting being scammed, and then a lot of replies urging them to “quickly contact” someone with evidence, and this person will recover it. It’s often similarly worded too: https://i.imgur.com/iMUNmZ2.jpg

At the risk of asking a question with an obvious answer: is this yet another scam on top of the pile, and why can’t I find anything on the web talking about it?
