I had this same observation. My guess is because Tauri uses WebGtk and Linux doesn’t really have a “native webview” so it’s kinda shipping the whole thing? The startup time seems like Tauri’s a non-starter for a lot of apps if you want them to be cross platform, had no idea this was a thing.
Hmm, I didn’t hear about this! What about that lifetime Bruno thing that was $9? I’m pretty sure I bought that. Is that just nothing now or what does that get me?
Why not have a little lipo battery or battery bank with the rpi, and have it charge/run off that? Make it like a little UPS where the rpi shuts down if it gets too low. Then you don’t have to wait 7 seconds for it to boot unless you haven’t driven in a while.
Very interesting! Learned a lot about color space and how it applies to subpixels, glad I watched this!
Gameplay wise, I think it should be a bigger game board and there should be accounting for the speed of the snake through each subpixel (when traveling left to right, going from R to G is less horizontal movement than going from B to R, and traveling vertically, each step is massive compared to the horizontal movement.) This should be pretty easy to do by ratio’ing and changing the speed of each animation step based on where in the spectrum it is. That would make it feel a lot more polished I think.
It’s fairly stable, but with a large codebase I’ve seen it take a day + to rebuild the search index, not to mention GHES relies on GitHub.com for the allowed actions list functionality which is a huge PITA. It should not rely on the cloud hosted version for any functionality. That having been said, I don’t think there’s much of an alternative and I quite like it.
Games aren’t going to suddenly start targeting only updated copies of windows 11 though… if they target even win 10 then they need to be API compatible with what’s currently there in windows. It doesn’t matter what new stuff comes out. Just like how we had to keep using ie6 compatible code for ages for the 5% of people still on windows xp even though it kept us from using modern web tech for everyone else.
Yeah I agree, there should be a voting system that can kick out bogus frames and have someone remake them, would be really interesting to see what it’d look like if everyone was trying to recreate it. Kind of like rotoscoping I suppose. As it is, there’s just a ton of discontinuity because of the troll frames.
I've really been interested in learning more about Elixir and how it accomplishes these things, because I constantly hear the same opinions from others. Do you have some good resources you'd recommend for getting started with Elixir for a principal engineer that wants to understand these at-scale issues and how Elixir solves them better than other languages?
Right, but a card game with specific cards already chosen and designed for me that let the cognitive burden be on the game strategy itself is much more useful for the majority of people, and typically cost $5-10. This multi deck would be a nightmare with children too.
Buying prebuilt stuff and premade sequences seems like it’d take all the fun out of it, at least for me. I guess this is an area where some people are in it for the goal and others for the journey. I think either is equally valid, but it’s always interesting to see people making different tradeoffs than I’d make.
I haven’t heard much about Broadcom before. Is this why Rally is so awful? They just rent seek on old software and don’t improve it at all? Like the people who bought Heroku?
With the cloud, in a lot of cases you can have additional regions that incur very little cost as they scale dynamically with traffic. It’s hard to do that with on-prem. Also many AWS services come cross-AZ (AZ is a data center), so their arch is more robust than a single Colo server even if you’re in a single region.
To me, Cloud is all about the shift left of DevOps. It’s not a cost play. I’m a Dev Lead / Manager and have worked in both types of environments over the last 10 years. It’s immeasurable the velocity difference as far as system provisioning between the two approaches. In the hardware space, it took months to years to provision new machines or upgrade OSes. In the cloud, it’s a new terraform script and a CI deploy away. Need more storage? It’s just there, available all the time. Need to add a new firewall between machines or redo the network topology? Free. Need a warm standby in 4 different regions that costs almost nothing but can scale to full production capacity within a couple of minutes? Done. Those types of things are difficult to do with physical hardware. And if you have an engineering culture where the operational work and the development work are at odds (think the old style of Dev / QA / Networking / Servers / Security all being separate teams), processes and handoffs eat your lunch and it becomes crippling to your ability to innovate. Cloud and DevOps are to me about reducing the differentiation between these roles so that a single engineer can do any part of the stack, which cuts out the communication overhead and the handoff time and the processes significantly.
If you have predictable workloads, a competent engineering culture that fights against process culture, and are willing to spend the money to have good hardware and the people to man it 24x7x365 then I don’t think cloud makes sense at all. Seems like that’s what y’all have and you should keep up with it.
Google primarily makes money from ads and user data. That’s their purpose. Everything else is ancillary and in service to that. Apple’s product is the physical hardware and software.
Is there a similar volumetric equivalent measurement or is it all about energy density by weight? Like, if the batteries are lightweight but massive, that would also be a bit of a problem since the structure to safely transport a large volume could be expensive and heavy.
Microsoft is more evil than Enron? Than the company that faked blood tests? This is some pretty extreme hyperbole. I’d pick Google over Microsoft for one.
Do you have proof that claims are denied due to power supplies not rated correctly? That seems like fear mongering otherwise. Your insurance still covers your house even if you make mistakes on construction or repair yourself, I can’t imagine them denying a claim over a purchased part that you have a good faith reason to believe it will function correctly.
Also why do you specifically call out Chinese parts as being shitty? Where do you think the majority of electronics come from? This feels like xenophobia. The power supply can be cheap and crappy and come from anywhere. Or it can be great and come from anywhere. That one you linked, by the way - Made in China.
This is interesting! I understand the reference implementation of the client being in a specific language, since it kind of has to be to be runnable. But I’m a little off put by the selection of a Python-only serialization format as well. So to implement this in another language, both the Jinbase model concepts as well as the serializer/deserializer have to be implemented. Wouldn’t it have made more sense to use MessagePack or Protobuf or one of the other formats that already has ubiquitous language support? I understand you are the author of the Paradict format but it seems like a non-starter for wide adoption of Jinbase across languages.
Every day I’d have more and more state accumulation on my machine - open apps, unsaved changes, open tabs. I’ve tried many methods for preventing this from happening over the years, but the only and most effective solution I’ve been using for the last year - a script I wrote that just quits every browser tab and every open app (leaving unsaved apps still running) every evening. I wake up and the machine is new and fresh. It’s amazing and has benefited my productivity so much. It changes the state game to where if I have a specific task I want to resume tomorrow I have to make myself a clear note to read the next day, and if I have tabs open that I care about, I have to bookmark them. What I’ve found is that the actual info that needs to be transferred between days is very small.
I have an endless reminders app and todo list. I wonder if something similar (items expire automatically unless you flag them as permanent or something) would help keep a clearer list. Sometimes ephemerality is best!
There is a ton of infrastructure between Austin and Ft. Worth, it’s almost a contiguous city at this point. And there are no mountains in the vast majority of Texas, it’s very flat. There are a lot of chargers on that route, not sure what OP is talking about.
Temple Buccees has a supercharger, as do many other places. Still, Texas is not a great place for EVs. Everything’s so far apart. Instead of a Hybrid, how about a PHEV or an EV with a range extender? The problem with hybrids is they have all of the complexity of an ICE as their main drivetrain, whereas an EV drivetrain is much simpler, more powerful and more reliable. If you can get a vehicle where the gas / diesel is just there as a power plant for the EV, you get the best of all worlds, plus the gas engine can run at peak efficiency which gives you better fuel economy and if the ICE has issues you can still drive with just the EV part.
If you fully shut down a mac laptop, you have to press and hold the power button to turn it back on. Not sure what you’re talking about here and probably why you’re getting downvoted.
Yes, whatever portion made their decision based on cost of groceries do believe the president influences prices. It’s the same as the old line about “gas prices are too damn high”. Most people aren’t very involved in politics and they don’t understand things like this, or that economic cycles are so long that half the time it’s the result of the previous party’s actions what is happening now.
