• Groovy 🎷 Cheat Sheet - 01 Say "Hello" from Groovy

  Alternatively, you can use sdkman. A great tool to install your Software Development Kit. The downside is that it only works on *nix systems. So for Widnows users, you will have to use WSL or Cygwin as the official page suggests. It is really simple to use sdkman. After a successful installation, just type those commands into your *nix shell:. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• How do you even get started programming in c++ on Windows?

  You could try Cygwin. I never leave home without it. Source: about 1 year ago

• What exactly IS gitbash?

  It's launching MSYS2, which is in turn based on cygwin, which is a collection of common Linux utilities built for windows and an incomplete POSIX abstraction layer. Source: over 1 year ago

• Kind of an obvious design flaw

  IME, not really? Git for Windows or MSYS2 are both pretty solid. I used Cygwin for years, but MSYS2 seems to integrate a bit more smoothly (plus MSYS uses pacman instead of Cygwin's fiddly gui for package management). Source: over 1 year ago

• WSL - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS using a ton of memory?

  Try Cygwin or Msys2, they are not running virtual machines. For Bash and Neovim only you probably don't want to run a whole virtual machine. Source: almost 2 years ago

• SNES Manuals. How big is too big? (comments below)

  Consider using PNGGauntlet for getting even higher compression. Source: about 2 years ago

• Tips on keeping Playnite lean and mean?

  If a lot of your artwork is png files, putting them through PNG Gauntlet is likely to help save space. Search for *.png in your Playnite folder then drag and drop. Fair warning, this is going to take a long time. Possibly days for the amount of data you're talking. Source: over 2 years ago

• How can I automatically compress images without manual uploading to tinypng.com or similar websites ?

  You could download PNGGauntlet and if you using Wordpress there are many plugins for optimizing images on upload... Source: over 2 years ago

• [DISC] Aizen-san Can't Be Honest! - Chapter 2

  If you want to optimize it further, use PNGGauntlet after you put translation and saved as png. It works by removing useless junk. It's kinda slow, but I think it's still worth doing. But it's up to you. Source: over 2 years ago

• You guys are pretty reliable for this, programs for my PC?

  PNGGauntlet for compressing PNG images into smaller size (Fairly slow on big images tho). Source: almost 3 years ago
