mateuszf··on YC CEO says he ships 37K LoC AI code per day. A developer looked under the hood
That's because only frontend was reviewed, who knows what's on backend.
mateuszf··on Steam Machine launches today
It's possible already. Using an open source app called PadForge. I've setup a profile that works without steam and emulates xbox360 pad. I've used it without problems in Forza Horizon 6 which is an UWP / PC Game Pass game, also in various emulators.

mateuszf··on Asahi Linux folks are doing us a solid with WPA3 fixes
Yes, as soon as NixOS will have native support - I will be buying an apple laptop. The Asahi people are doing a fantastic job.
mateuszf··on Battle of Hodów: When 400 Poles repelled 40,000 Tatars in 1694
The accent is not great, but the pronounciation sounds good to me.

You can use google translate - it pronounces it correctly - https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&text=hod%C3%B3w&...

I'm not saying that the article is untrue. I'm not a historian. What I'm saying is that all content from this source should be treated with high skepticism.
mateuszf··on Battle of Hodów: When 400 Poles repelled 40,000 Tatars in 1694
As a Polish guy - I would not trust a single thing shown in the national propagandist TVP television.

It's really weird to see this on Hacker News.

mateuszf··on RPCS3 – Open Source Playstation 3 Emulator
No idea, that's why I'm asking :)

I guess there may be ways to do it not really legally by some hacker and then sharing it with others.

Not that I support it, but there are still people who don't see problems with such behavior.

mateuszf··on RPCS3 – Open Source Playstation 3 Emulator
Looking how some emulators just ask users to copy firmware / software / keys from their real consoles - couldn't the same thing be done and only the hardware layer be emulated?
mateuszf··on RPCS3 – Open Source Playstation 3 Emulator
I'm wondering - heard that PS3 architecture is so complex, and PS4 is back to x86 - so what is it that makes PS4 emulators so hard to implement?

Surely nowadays hardware such as 7000 ryzen series and 4090 gpus are leaps and bounds above PS4 hardware.

mateuszf··on Planescape: Torment pitch document (1997) [pdf]
It has a touchscreen, two joysticks and two touchpad likes surfaces, you can configure them how you like.

However the screen is 7 inches and text in games like this or early Fallouts is too small for me, so I planned to use SD for them but resigned.

mateuszf··on Microsoft is busy rewriting core Windows library code in memory-safe Rust
It's not fair to reduce the role of Windows to an advertising tool. It's also a spyware.
mateuszf··on Gamers 50-plus are a growing force in the tech market
Also important for devices with small screens such as Steam Deck.

Tried to play Disco Elysium on it, and it's just too hard for me.

mateuszf··on Crypto exchange Kraken to shut staking service, pay $30M fine in SEC settlement
No, the rules are dictated by validating nodes. If miners change the way they mine they will create a fork and it will not affect bitcoin.
mateuszf··on Crypto exchange Kraken to shut staking service, pay $30M fine in SEC settlement
Very well said.
mateuszf··on “My PGP key is compromised, and at least many of my bitcoins stolen”
He said it was not most of his bitcoins.

mateuszf··on FTX to file for U.S. bankruptcy, CEO resigns
Technically speaking Larry David was discouraging people from using FTX.
mateuszf··on Is Web3 Bullshit? (Transcript)
> Web3 on the other hand is the exclusive domain of a few die-hard anarchocapitalist libertarians

Not really. Libertarian anachocapitalists usually lean toward Bitcon/Monero, and not Web3 programmable hipster altcoins pumped by corporations.

mateuszf··on Writing down what I do in Obsidian
Do you use end to end encryption? I don't want 3rd party companies to see my data.

Of course obsidian is not open source so I can't guarantee their e2e sync service doesn't sneakily send the data to their servers, but it's still less risky than having it easily available to the company employees.

mateuszf··on Twitter Blue for $8/Month
I don't think anybody believes he cares about the money. Seems like it's a matter of principles for him.
mateuszf··on EU Passes Law to Switch iPhone to USB-C by End of 2024
> How is that not killing innovation?

It's not such a great innovation if it makes users life harder.

mateuszf··on Show HN: I finished v5 of a JVM framework I've spent spent half a decade making
Dropwizard is cool if you write REST microservices. It uses embedded jetty, JAX-RS, Jackson, metrics, etc.

As far as I know it's inspiration for Spring Boot, and it's simpler and ready to use on production.

mateuszf··on Maud: A Rust macro for writing HTML
That's a bit not fair to languages different than lisp because of their more complicated syntax.

Clojure simplicity is just superb in this case.

mateuszf··on Cryptocurrencies are worse for the climate than you think
PoS cryptocurrencies are like attaching wheels to horses.

Why make alternative finance systems based on the same fact that the wealthiest entities control the policy of the network? Exactly like in the current system with central banks and governments.

mateuszf··on Organice: An implementation of Org mode without the dependency of Emacs
Yeah, that supports handling encrypted files, but the question is if org indexes such files to handle interlinking, file completion, agendas and stuff.

I guess it doesn't.

mateuszf··on Organice: An implementation of Org mode without the dependency of Emacs
Out of curiosity:

Does org-mode have encryption mode? Where all the files and maybe their names get encrypted on disk?

That's a must have for me for the multiple devices scenario with storing data on 3rd party service.

Right now I'm using obsidian because it has client side encryption, but it's not open source so not optimal.

mateuszf··on The Bitcoin Investment Thesis Is Broken
> I can hand you a piece of gold and the transfer is done

And how can I easily verify it's really 100% gold?

mateuszf··on Top stablecoins shed $7B in May as traders redeem tokens en masse
Maybe in US, but not in all countries.
