I can speak for Oculus Quest 2, plugged with a cable in the computer: it doesn't work at all. SteamVR works by itself in native linux mode, but for the Quest 2 to be recognized, you need to run an Oculus windows only application that makes it look like it is a Rift headset... So... after years on Xubuntu only, I ended up reinstalling Windows to satisfy my new VR gaming "needs"...
Glad you like the book and Rust!! <3
I feel like floating point is a completely separate branch of programming that a lot of coders never use. When they do it's often a mistake, like for currency. Yet floating point is very useful for scientific calculations and simulations, which is what computers were all about for the first couple of decades.

I have a suspicion that on a fundamental level, floating point isn't actually good for games or machine learning. They're just used because existing computers are so good at floating point number crunching, especially GPUs.
I think you are agreeing with me. Go fails to solve some problems that C does, but feels fairly comfortable to C programmers. Therefore it works well for C programmers when solving problems that can be solved by Go.
I think there is a good reason why people who consider themselves anti-racists think we should see race in many places, and why they think 'color-blindness' is not enough.

The main reason is that, if people of a particular group have been treated very badly by society for a long time, simply stopping that treatment is unambiguously a good thing, but it leaves that group in a disadvantaged position which can persist long after the persecution stops. Black people start off life (on average!) with a substantial disadvantage, so if we want people to have equal opportunities to achieve great things regardless of the colour of their skin, you have to do something to redress the balance.

This is why they sometimes advocate for preferential treatment for minorities: equal opportunity is no good if one group of people do not have equal access to those opportunities because they were born poor as a result of historical injustices.

An analogy sometimes used is that of a house on fire. If your house is on fire, you'd like the fire brigade to focus their attention on your house, rather than nearby houses that are not on fire. To an anti-racist, the idea of ignoring the colour of people's skin entirely is as misguided as the idea of fire-fighters focussing on all houses regardless of whether they are on fire.

I think it makes sense to at least have the mindset from a developer's point of view. It helps prevent lock-in between the client and whatever APIs or storage your product uses.

I've tried to build apps with a strict client / server separation for a decade now, it made sense at the time because of mobile apps, and it makes sense now due to application half-life (front-ends don't last as long as their back-ends).

In my current project we may offer API access to our customers in addition to a user interface.
Tangentially related, the fantastic WWII submarine book 'Thunder Down Below' talks about a similar mirage issue being a common occurrence in their submarine warfare. They would see ships that appear to be on the horizon but are actually hundreds of miles away.

I'm not sure if this answer helps the OP in any way but I actually prefer books that don't have a newfangled project that distracts from the core language. It's a good idea for readers who are learning programming for the first time but not for experienced developers.

I highly recommend checking out Udemy for a C course because their courses are typically project oriented. I believe Udemy gives a major discount for new users.

In short:

* the smart contact is made in a way that allows upgrades by an administrator
* the developers transfer their administrator privileges to another user as a show of good faith
* the code to transfer the privileges actually doesn't do anything
* the developers upgrade the contract giving themselves permission to take the funds

I think that it takes freedoms and responsibilities away from developers, chops work into chunks that are too small, forces constant arbitrary deadlines and a lack of a relaxed pace (they are not called "sprints" for nothing), and incentivizes under-estimation to "fit things in", resulting in overloading or overruns. It also treats developers as fungible which is very much not the case if specialist skills are not evenly distributed. The constant "scrum meetings" serve as an unwelcome goad and very rarely convey information that anyone except micromanagers care about.

Editing to add: learning is an important part of being a programmer. Experimenting, reading the manual, trying it out, these are all things that get managed out, when you have to beg for "spike" time to do them, and somebody else doesn't see the importance.

The upsides are that it does make it somewhat easier to pivot or to shelve-and-resume when you know which of the bitty pieces are still to do, and it makes long term estimates slightly less arbitrary.
Same in Denmark, but the collective opinion is that the structure makes the license a TV tax (a yearly fee you must pay by government mandate as a result of owning a type of device irrespective of use) that goes to the media company, thus making it state funded by that tax, regardless of what the company and government claim.

If it was independent it would have to sell its services on its own, with citizens purchasing the service only if they wished to use it.

In Denmark we're also soon abolishing the license and just making it a normal tax. The structure was pointless and the attempted indirection only angered people, especially as it was expanded to also apply to anyone having internet access over a certain bandwidth.

Furthermore, anything funded by law cannot be truly independent in content either, as it will wish to appease the hand that feeds it.
Ruby seems to handle this correctly:

>> 1 / -0.0
=> -Infinity

Although you have to put the 0.0, otherwise it treats it as an integer and makes it 0.
Right up until margins start sticking out of boxes and adding or subtracting and weird ways, not to mention what floating elements and pseudo elements do to your boxes.

CSS absolutely does disagree with our brains because it's trying to take a tree of elements with their own properties that interact based on their tree relationship and projecting that into 2D.
The problem is always market share. Unfortunately Linux has and most likely will always be a niche desktop product. For that reason when devs are developing a game, the question is always "should we spend X amount of time for 0.5% of the userbase" and often times the value proposition just isn't there.

Western imperialism is an obvious factor in the East Asian countries this is popular in, such as South Korea and Taiwan. There's no concrete proof this is a result of imperialism, but the differences between the counterparts North Korea and China provide limited evidence it's the cause.

As for common, the estimates I can find show between 1/5th and 1/3rd of South Korean woman receive double eyelid surgery.
Coinbase also doesn't pretend to be decentralized and the bank analogy holds pretty well for them.

I'm not sure it's meaningful to say cryptocurrencies are decentralized. Decentralization is more of a social phenomenon than technical, e.g. cash is decentralized but socially we've found advantages to centralize.
Perhaps OP means the games themselves are not open-source?
We're talking about different kinds of blasé though. Many people - me included - don't think a lot about malaria because they don't live in a malarial area and have the health and healthcare access to probably recover when travelling into them ). In fact, I gave so little thought to malaria even whilst in malarial areas that I didn't devote time to arguing malaria's long term effects were relatively rare and might be psychosomatic so not really worth the Gates Foundation bothering with, which is the specific kind of dismissive attitude towards the disease being called out here.
Probably code complete, I'd studied engineering and programmed at home for years at a very poor level really. On becoming a commercial coder I got this and it gave me confidence in attacking a problem, maintaining code and the realization that, in a team, communication, readability and maintainability are more important that coding skill.

It’s interesting that you mention colorism in India. The British were not the first group of people to rule India. There has been a history of thousands of years of migration from Central Asia to both India and Europe. These people had light skin. They became part of the ruling class of the places they migrated to.

In India that meant dark skinned Dravidian natives were ruled by the light skinned upper classes or castes. As a result of minimal intermarriage, these Central Asian genes are found mostly in “groups of priestly status”, ie, Brahmins. This led to the standard of beauty becoming ingrained.

There’s other factors as well, in that it’s a status symbol for some families to make their women stay at home rather than work. Not having to work in the fields means you don’t get tanned, making such people appear more beautiful by this standard.

Side note, I’d like to apologise to the Indians who believe that they’re the original inhabitants of the country and that “others” (ie, Muslims) are “invaders”. However, notwithstanding your hurt feelings, you still gotta face facts.

The swap file code does not go through the filesystem. It's the exact same code which is used for a swap partition or a swap file, and it writes directly to the block device (the partition). The main difference is that, if you have a swap file, the "swapon" call asks the filesystem to tell it which ranges in the block device contain the swap, instead of using the whole block device.

This actually happens pretty frequently where I live, except what we see is trees on a far off island floating. I've never seen a ship float, but now I'll be looking for it.

For anyone looking for a basic set of steps to migrate away from Windows via dual-booting, the following is working flawlessly:

1. Partition HDD, create Pop_OS live Linux usb (or desired Linux distribution, just remember to include Nvidia/AMD graphics driver).

2. Install OS, with separate /boot partition than Windows.

3. Return to Windows (can do this as step 1 actually) and install rEFInd boot loader on Windows EFI partition and replace bootx64.efi or whichever default boot file for your BIOS with rEFInd.efi.

REFInd should automatically locate both installs next time you boot.
True, but a rather depressing thought, nonetheless. Let's take out loans so we can go to school so we can get a good job so we can pay strangers to raise our children.

> Under GPL-like licenses you are obligated to provide source code if you provide a binary

No, this requirement applies only if you are using somebody's else GPL code, and it's meant to allow other developers and users to benefit from the work done.

It does not apply to the original author because the author owns the copyright of that code.
Agreed - with the understanding that maintaining distinct clients is a LOT of work.

Proton is a very impressive project and works with many titles that I've tried. For anyone not well acquainted with it and wanting to try games not part of Steams official compatibility list, look at https://www.protondb.com/, think of it as similar to Wine DB. For unsupported games, I usually use GloriousEggroll's custom build: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom. This "fixes" many games, especially if they use videos in cutscenes and many other things.

There are some features that I was never able to get working correctly, e.g. remote Steam Play with Streets of Rage 4 where my friends stream would not load up or controllers would not map, but for single player gaming, this would not be an issue.

Performance is (to be expected) less than Windows and games can exhibit graphical artifacts or crashes but it is not bad enough really complain about given how amazing it is that this exists in the first place. I will often put up with these (imo) minor defects than boot to my Windows install. Steam cloud sync even works correctly for keeping your save data between OS'!

One thing to be aware of that I don't see people mention (maybe because it's a niche setup and game dependent), is that using fractional scaling can completely mess up some games display, I believe due to how fractional scaling uses a framebuffer larger than your real resolution. Make sure to set your scaling to 100% before launching games which have this behaviour, e.g. Tekken 7.

Just wanted to say that the books were not banned; Dr Seuss’ family decided to pull the books because yeah, the dude made some racist books. “Canceling” him would mean banning his entire catalog, which I haven’t heard anyone suggest. But this wasn’t the publisher; this was the copyright holder deciding they no longer wanted this speech in the world.
This is very cool. Computer Algebra Systems are like a super power. I’ve been able to use the TI-89’s arbitrary precision to do pretty sophisticated cryptography work. Symbolics.jl has the ability to modify some of the rules of the algebra, which should allow even easier implementation of number theory related cryptographic concepts (as well as compression and error correcting codes... or quaternions or bra-ket quantum mechanics) without needing specific libraries. I love this as I’m trying to teach myself the fundamental concepts in mathematical terms and not just something in a specialized black box library. (And without paying the insanely high price of Mathematica if I ever want to use it professionally.)

I’ve looked briefly into Julia in the past, but if stuff like this becomes pretty standard (in the way numpy is for Python), I think I could become pretty comfortable in Julia.
Whoa, that's an awesome story. Nuts that the slowdown happened over such a short period, must have been a fair amount of data running through that system. Lots of table scans <shiver>.
Impossible. New member applications must be unanimously approved by the member states, and there are countries in the EU that would never be part of the same political organization with Russia, nor allow russian politicians to influence european politics. Never going to happen, and that‘s a good thing. Russia must deal alone with all the fallout of the terror they imposed on the neighboring countries in the last 100 years of history.

I think it is useful to rephrase your questions to make the intent of sprints and standups more explicit:

Standups: What are the pros and cons of teams members spending 15 minutes together every day talking about their work and how they might help each other?

How do you deal with multiple dispatch? It really doesn't match up to any mental metaphors for me, I've always preferred my bag-of-functions to do things. I've tried and tried with Julia, is there any good resource for how dispatch programs are supposed to be built and thought about?

In some game engines, Fixed Point Arithmetic is used instead of Floating Point, because it's faster, and the approximation is generally good enough for a game.
Yes, it's a dupe. But this article has more content than the BBC's (although both may qualify as fluff pieces).
No, not really. The browsers did guess a lot and did standard-deviating parsing because the typical uses were wrong and they had to work. Nobody would switch to a new browser that doesn't work with existing pages.

Modern example - mXSS. Even though modern html have to be valid xml the browser will, instead of giving an error when served invalid html, transform what's given to make it standard-compliant.
I've had issues getting controllers to show up for Remote Play on Windows too, so I'm not sure that's a Proton problem.
It's actually one of the least locked down devices out there. It's proprietary apps aren't open source, but otherwise you have free reign over the device.

Every time I see people espouse "freedom from", I have to point out you're making a claim on everyone else to keep you safe from something you don't like.

You don't have that right. The world is not safe. Nowhere are you guaranteed happiness, or refuge from upsetting ideas. You are guaranteed the right to pursue happiness. The outcome is a function of how fast your legs are.

In a nation that sincerely values the concept of Liberty, the Public Safety (a subset of which is your presumed "freedom from") always takes a second seat. To have it any other way is to put an end to the very ideal at the center of the United States. Liberty is scary. Freedom makes no guarantees. Non-hackers can feel free to not consume in their own spaces, but don't start trying to dictate what others should or should not have access to.
Nice work! What do you think about LinkWall? Do you have any suggestions?
Curious to see how this performs in a real world setting. My understanding is that Nvidia's neural network libs and other proprietary foo would still hold an edge over a standard AMD card.

If this is not the case then this is a really big deal.
Firstly, you need an official wireless adapter, bluetooth is much slower and also trigger buttons won't work. Even with the adapter, the pairing might be awful, but there is a little known fact that you need to plug in the controller via usb for a moment, unplug, and it will just work (for the same machine). Also install x360ce for older games.

With these in place, the controllers work 100% great for any controller game.

I remember being in school decades ago and our very left-wing English teacher telling us about the Catholic Church's index of banned books, which included things like Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer. At the same time, you also had a big push by Evangelical groups in the U.S. to ban books like Deliverance from school due to their graphic sexual content.

If you had told me then that in 2021, it would be secular liberal democrats pushing to ban books, I would have laughed in your face, but here we are, and I'm not laughing.
Yeah I know how Spotify works. What I mean is the end user has no idea where the source comes from, how it was mastered or ripped, or what Spotify's criteria is for quality. It is opaque, and there have been examples of bad digital masters/rips used by Spotify. It seems all you can do is report bad tracks when you encounter them: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Social/Jitter-due-to-bad-CD.... The OP even gave examples of classical tracks which have audible problems.

None of this is an issue if you rip your own CDs or buy lossless from reputable sources in my experience. Spotify you're at the mercy of whatever crap Spotify has been given.

Well-regulated?

The site Fukushima was built on was originally much higher than the water. The region had been struck by several equally huge tsunamis in the previous century. Despite that history, the site was carved down to be much nearer the water before the plant was built.

Regulations aren't the problem. Humans are - and 60+ years of experience has proven that problem to be insoluble. Add to that the costs, and the available timeline, and: exactly how does nuclear become a solution of any kind?
Sure but that's only fair if the assumed skills at higher levels are attainable for an average person that went to a public school.
