The cost of translating input calls from Linux to Windows APIs through Wine/Proton is so much less than the cost of rendering a single frame that it's effectively 0. The only real overhead Wine/Proton might be adding is in the rendering pipeline.

As Steve explained in the video, the Steam Deck's input-to-photon latency is lower than the Aya Neo's simply because it has a much more powerful GPU.

The only real way to test if there's any extra input-to-photon latency would be to compare the exact same game on a Steam Deck running SteamOS to a Steam Deck running Windows.
And yet you could only get real data re: the potential COVID Lab leak from 4Chan for quite awhile. It was deemed misinformation and bad for our health to read. Maybe censorship is what is actually "problematic"..
> I don't think look and behavior are separable, they're both just attributes of the thing

Yes, they are both attributes, that have to then be interpreted by the 'rendering engine'. For example, the 'look' is based on the image format and the 'behaviour' is based on how the rendering engine interprets the rest of the attributes

> which are respected by whatever environment renders it.

But that is the entire point - _why_ should an environment respect those attributes?

To make it concrete, the original discussion was about something like a 'sword of dragonslaying' - great, that's what it does in the original game. Let us simplify this to having an attribute "dragonslaying". Now what? How does the second game that the asset is transferred to 'respect' that attribute?

Again, as several others have pointed out, this is not a technical problem that NFTs or blockchains solve. It is a question of game engine standards, and common rule sets, and so on.
Most execs think kind of like tcp "linear increase/exponential backoff". No doubt they panicked and cut too many people.
I played around with it a bit a few years ago, not affiliated.

Ink is a markup language rather than an engine, so it plays nice with version control and managing huge stories. It also lets you handle variables and do some pretty complex logic inside the scripts.

This also this means you can integrate it with different workflows, dialog authors can editor and focus on dialog in the inkle editor. Then push their changes into a game built in Unity.

Definitely more suited to big teams than Twine which is more targeted at solo indie devs.
Other Italian comics from 70' were also all american characters. Comandante Mark, Zagor, Blek...
Americans and Brits are interesting characters for comics :)
And what about legendary spaghetti western movies?
You’re replying to a joke I think.
Sort of a counterpoint to renting vs. owning housing, I've rented for the last 8 years. I don't have to worry about the constant home-ownership surprises my parents have had to deal with (renovations, pests, upkeep), I've been able to move to improve my commute with each job change, and I've made friends with each successive move.

I have given up stability, but the price to rent ratio in my city points far in favor towards renting, and I've mostly been able to invest the income that would have gone towards a mortgage in the stock market.

Edit:
I've moved 5 times in the last 8 years not including a temporary move back to my parents' during the pandemic.
Well a captcha does just that without a phone number.
> Single Family Zoning

It is bad and yet is one of the only housing types that satisfies a lot of needs.

Multi-unit housing has the following list of annoyances:

1. Far more available to rent than to own. Some states such as CO have some weird insurance related laws that makes selling condos more of a liability than leasing apartments.

2. Often not cheaper on a sqft basis so you are paying more for less.

3. If it is for sale, there is often a hefty monthly HOA or Condo fee that increases with inflation/time.

4. Small parking lots*

5. Often up a few stories which make even moving groceries a hassle and moving furniture a real pain.

6. Noise from neighbors and rules/limitations when you can do noise generating things.

7. No garage/workshop area means repairing bikes and cars is a real hassle or you are paying someone else a lot of money to do it for you.

8. Dramatically less privacy and legal rights as far as what you are allowed to do to your property.

9. Almost always closer to roads and other noise producing things.

10. Neighbors are a far greater presence/annoyance in your life than even just living in the suburb. This has the added effect of reinforcing affluence/poor areas; buying a house in a poor/bad area is not nearly as risky as living in an apartment in a poor/bad area.

Really the only advantage of living in higher density housing is the access to public transport, city centers, and the lack of maintenance you have to do to maintain the property. The good news is that a lot of people don't mind the above annoyances so building more high density housing has the benefit of making every type of housing cheaper. Its also possible that in large enough cities, apartments can be found larger & more noise insulated than in suburb/low density areas (at least I sure hope so).

Essentially, does a single family home replacement exist? Town-homes are pretty close to satisfying the above list and are a lot more dense than SFH but are they dense enough to solve the scarcity problem?

* Convincing those who can afford vehicles to get rid of them seems really difficult. e.g Anyone know how people travel for ski trips in Europe? I really can't imagine using American public transport when I need to transport luggage. Sure flying and trains are OK for traveling large distances but buses and local rail systems are difficult to use with luggage. It would be a comical attempt for a family of 4 to transport themselves & their stuff on a local bus yet an SUV makes this an (bi)weekly occurrence for people near ski resorts.

Start by implementing yourself a complex javascript widget. Like, say, a datepicker. That's a reasonable complex widget. Or start smaller with a dialog. Then, start going through it finding ways to optimize, rinse and repeat.

It depends. Do you think that we should treat orphans who kill their parents different from other orphans?
It's a false emotional appeal. Would you answer a five minute survey for a cup of coffee? I wouldn't. But I'd spend 5 minutes to help someone.
I generally hate having sites "decide" this for me. This is almost certainly a personal preference.

When I use Atomic on the iPad I set it to open off-site links in new tabs. Yet on my desktop, I never do. This is a setting in various browsers.
Oh my gosh, someone please add an M-x gpt-doctor. Hmm.. I wonder how we'd build the training dataset...

How many other meme modes exist? I dug up the earliest commits I could find, and apparently one of the earliest hooks was "protect-innocence-hook": https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1327459335245422597

If the buffer's filename is "sex.6", it asks whether the user is over 18. If so, it renames the buffer to "celibacy.1".

Apparently it was in the file lisp/play/meese.el. Emacs archaeology is more fun than it should be.
Can't wait for someone to do a M-x doctor over GPT-3, AiDungeon style.

I think his point is that this is just a link to a software company, with no news for hackers. HackerNews. QED.
Personally after college, I had four goals: 1) be able to bench-press 200lb, 2) play guitar in a band/be able to improvise, solo, play at performance tempo etc., 3) be able to play pick-up basketball and win more games for my team than lose, 4) to approach women and other people in bar and other urban scenario's and f-close or the social equivalent.

No, I haven't completely achieved all of my goals although I have gone very far in all of them. But I'm not as anxious about them nor about admitting on my shortcomings on my goals in public; like in programming, at a point you develop a sense of confidence that even on a long programming project, it's only a matter a time that you will finish it. It's just a sequence of iterations of coding & debugging.

How did programming affect my life? It made me a nerd with inferiority-superiority complex who on one hand views average human beings as automatons who let their sense of social insecurity get in their way; and who on the other hand is insecure himself, requires constant social re-assurances, stroking of the ego and (most importantly) sexual gratification. And for that, I'm eternally indebted to programming.

- Worrying too much about the progress of other people

- Ignore the original sources and look always for second

- Ignoring the "lazy" part of your brain

- Being too lazy

- Thing that books are only for people that do not act

- Dream day and night of how to make more money

- Never stop for a second to think out of the box

MIT, harvard etc are not the only universities in the world. and this has a pretty limited view of CS.
It's not enough to just let students take the classes at their level; you also have to offer them classes at their pace. The 5th grader who's ready for algebra is probably capable of finishing the course in a third of the time that it would take a 9th grader who is taking algebra at the usual age for US students (at least, that was the case for me and the cohort of segregated gifted students I was in).

Offering special classes for gifted students can also help solve a lot of problems stemming from disparities in emotional and academic maturity, or offer instructors the chance to provide greater depth or branch out beyond the standard curriculum.
Do it. asap.
Did you read the article? A specific case was presented where persisting in UTC simply won't work.

I still believe that UTC is useful as an intermediary, and persisting in UTC can work if all your times are in the past and all your conversions are done with an up-to-date rule list.
> Commercial speech has been defined by the Supreme Court as speech where the speaker is more likely to be engaged in commerce, where the intended audience is commercial or actual or potential consumers, and where the content of the message is commercial in character.

Commercial speech, such as advertisements, has been ruled by the Supreme Court to be entitled to less protection under the First Amendment than noncommercial speech. Under the First Amendment, noncommercial speech is entitled to full protection, and any sort of content-based regulation is only valid if it can withstand strict scrutiny. However, commerical speech is not given such deference. For a content-based regulation of commercial speech to be valid, it only must withstand intermediate scrutiny.

Additionally, commercial speech that is false or misleading is not entitled to any protection under the First Amendment, and therefore can be prohibited entirely.[0]

Sorry, I should have said political speech more generally by a commercial entity

i agree with horsley
I actually agree. Exactly the same is true for most software coming out of YC. But that's not bad at all: the point of YC is not to do cutting-edge research—although a few companies do—but to execute and take a product to market. It's a vital part of an idea's development, but at a later stage than academic research.

University projects are incredibly valuable, but only the rare exception produces something commercially viable much less supported and marketed enough to be relevant to consumers. Even in CS, an academic field with disproportionately strong industry ties, projects like this a rare exception (see how venerated Spark is); it's even rarer in other fields.

This is a different sort of work than raw R&D, but it's still difficult and relevant—just in a different way. I completely sympathize with not being interested in it, but that says more about you (and often me) than it does about YC.

If anything, the role YC plays is actually more important in biotech than in software because creating, deploying, marketing and supporting a software project is an easier problem with more existing support outside of YC. Software takes less resources, has less risks and has more buy-in from funding sources and other parts of the community than biotech. (At least, and especially, in SV.)

But, unless you're excited by an accessible version of something specific, none of this is going to be particularly relevant to you. Not only is this perfectly fine, but it bodes remembering for people in the startup community who tend to get so enamored with and immersed in what they're doing that they forget that it is not universal.
My aesthetic senses have always led me to a preference for button {} over .btn {}, class="foo bar" over class="foo-bar", etc. But I realise I'm in the minority and I need to get pragmatic. The slides have convinced me to check out the video tomorrow, which will be a start.

codeguide.co also looks well worth checking out. At the risk of derailing the conversation further, what's the reason for leaving a trailing slash out of self-closing elements? I recognise it's optional, but including it gives you the option of XML-parsing your HTML; is there a non-aesthetic advantage?
Blender is pretty good. I've only used it a few times but I agree that the UI seems to have improved quite a bit. I did find the interface modes a bit confusing at first (and I say that as someone whos primary text editor has been Vim for the last 5-6 years).

With so much functionality, where to find the things you are looking for can be a bit difficult. I think doing as you did and rebuilding your workflow around the tool is probably the best way to get productive.
Yes, it's a habit I picked up from reddit, I think. It saves time, and commenters often explain difficult concepts in a more accessible way
I think I was reading too much into it, and conflating computer security research with hard science research. I assumed academic conferences required academics or academic students with peer-reviewed papers whose results would then be taken as serious scientific research, but it seems the opposite is more common. I'm still not really sure what the distinction between academic computer security research and industry computer security research is, other than one is more theoretical (?)
We have used this syntax for url filters, works surpricingly well:

/v1/movies?year>=2011&artist!=cage

meaning - to add more meaning to the parameters in the query string, just add a suffix to the fieldname ><!~ etc. Before using the query, just filter them out. To add an array of options, just add the same field twice or use comma in the value:

/v1/movies?year>=2011&artist!=cage&name=the+rock,face+off

Let me first say that I appreciate anyone making an effort to help a friend with modern technologies.

However, I can't help noticing that when I first used a home ISP, you got some web space thrown as part of the deal, and setting up a first web site would have required only this:

1. Write the index.html file.

2. Upload it to your ISP-provided server by FTP.

3. There is no step 3.

This was 15-20 years ago and pretty much universally available free of charge with any residential ISP here in the UK. The most complicated thing would have been getting your own domain name, because that would have required a few more button clicks and a small payment.

Sadly, the centralised "build my web site" sites and social networks seem to have taken over, and looking around it seems like today most ISPs no longer offer basic shared web hosting for free as a routine part of their plans.

So today, per this article, getting your own site on-line might need all of this:

1. Know the most complicated VCS in history.

2. Be comfortable with CLI use.

3. Have Python installed, just to run a local web server for testing.

4. Depend on a third party (GitHub) and all that comes with that (I wonder how many people who advocate GH all the time have actually read what they're signing up for).

5. Know how to order a domain name from a separate registrar and then how to hook it up to the aforementioned third party.

Any one of those things will probably be a huge barrier and a cause of repeated failures and frustrations for anyone who is interested in this kind of help in the first place.

Again, I appreciate the effort to help a friend navigate these waters for the first time, but in general I'm not sure this constitutes progress.
Here is a sensationalist article about the upcoming leap second: http://time.com/3666522/leap-second/

If I were doing this, I would build the power outlet myself using an ESP8266 programmable wifi module and a 110V AC to 3.3V DC switching power supply module.

ESP8266 can connect to your wifi network, and run a TCP socket server, or a web server to receive HTTP commands. Your phone/tablet sends commands to it over your wifi network using TCP or HTTP.

Connection would be like :

110V AC -> switching supply -> 3.3V DC -> powers ESP8266 always on -> switches a relay to supply or cut power at the output side

Cost: An ESP8266 is around $3 and switching module is around $6 on aliexpress.
Possibility one: you end up with two "shares" of that pipe, FSVO "share", which may help depending on how contended it is.

Possibility two: placebo effect.

I discovered your react-d3 project last week and started using it a bit. Thanks a lot for making it.
Same can be said for sprocs. Any popular ORM will have proper handling for parameters. In both cases you can't rely on the tool, you have to know what you're doing.
You use IIS because you want to use ASP. You can't replace ASP with Nginx, it's an entire development stack, not just a webserver. And I actually like ASP. It's fast, easy to develop with, easy to deploy and there's great library support.
While that is a huge number it is not out of the realm of possibility. According to Wikipedia the world's GDP was $57 trillion last year. So we devote 8% of our output to this project and in 10 years the whole planet is energy independent
This book is great - it is also a "photo journal" of all the people/industries that it focuses upon. I think the author definitely hit the mark with what he wanted to accomplish which was an adult version of the richard scary "what do people do all day" kids book. I wish he had followed both a "I hate my life" corporate software developer and a work from home start up developer.
A strong break needs to be made between the reality of life and that of television shows.

In the reality of Glee the RIAA may not exist, copyright laws could be drastically different. Given that a sixteen year old looks and sounds like he is in his mid-twenties this is entirely conceivable. We would also all have amazing hair and teeth.

If we pull this into our reality, then I would believe that the production company Fox owns the rights to the songs being sung, or has enough influence over the owning bodies to use them without concern.

For actual high school performances and their rights, I will reference jbarciauskas's comment.
It all depends on how you abuse your ORM. There must be some ORMs where you can do it, but, gladly, I believe I am not using any of them.

I bet there are books on the subject, but I'm not a designer myself.

The one NPC that survives is the one who gives you the series of "survival guide" sidequests which are meant to help encourage you to explore the game. What's interesting about that to me is that her quests are pretty much the only valuable (in game mechanics) thing about Megaton after the nuke quest is resolved -- and they end up letting you do them either way. It's actually cited by people as an example of the game not following through on the consequences of an evil act. But your interpretation makes more sense to me; the idea that a game has to 'punish' in-game evil by means of a mechanical penalty is itself kind of discomfiting.
They hold less than 300mL of liquid, so yes.
Most of those examples were tech demonstrators and reference designs, AFAIK. A small number of units, if any, were available. I don't recall many partners bringing them to market. Intel's not in the business of selling a couple thousand of these units, they're looking for OEMs to pick it up and sell millions. Or at least shape/gauge the future market.
That was kind of cool at the time, but if you're interested in the Linux part then http://s-macke.github.io/jor1k/ is much more sophisticated.
If only they end up being more solid than current mini and micro USB female ends. It's ridiculously easy to end up bending the female port sufficiently out of shape to get poor connection with the smaller USB ports - I have several devices that will only charge with specific cables that fits slightly snugger than average. There's also an ongoing problem with cables where the male end is not deep enough / set far enough back, so again many devices won't work with all cables.

Looking at pictures here [1], it looks like the housing may be just as liable to poor/cheap implementations to end up with the same issues as micro-USB.
