When you upload code to Github, you agree to license it to them under Github's terms, and not whatever license the software is typically distributed under. You are effectively "dual licensing" software by uploading it to Github, whether you realize it or not. Of course, there are edge cases in which you don't have the rights to license the software to Github, but in those cases, I don't have the answer.
A lot of AAA games are built for PC and consoles, that's why you don't normally see much progress in graphics until a new console generation comes out. Current AAA games are also already recommending SSDs, so if people think they're going to have a good experience playing AAA games on an SD card, they're going to be dissapointed.
Playing PC games on a cell phone is painful. You can't even see half the game because your thumbs always obscure the screen to operate the touch controls.
"famously, the four color theorem was proved by computers through exhaustive analysis (checking every possibility)"

This is impossible. The plane can be arbitrarily large with an arbitrary number of regions. It can be exhaustively checked for n number of regions up to a certain n. But not for arbitrary n.

Are you saying this based on experience? My assumption was that it was a number of factors.

1. Researchers are often weak coders, and they may be self conscious about their code.

2. My own experience is that researcher code is totally undocument, or broken. I've repeatedly found that the code linked to from a paper has no straightforward way to be built, or appears to have compiler errors etc.

3. It's more work, and researchers have the incentive to put out a compelling paper, not to put out code (because we don't hold them to that standard).

My own experiences have led to me to mostly dismiss papers where I can't find the code or can't get it to build.
I have both Steam on a PC (Windows) and a Nintendo Switch and I mostly use the Switch for gaming for the convenience, although it sucks to see the price difference on so many titles. So, great news!
There aren't 2 universes there are n universes where n is the number of people. In most respects my politics are more progressive than the medias but I take a nuanced view and I think for myself.

I HAVE sampled both sides mostly because I had an interest in watching the crazy. The far side of the fence from the "liberal media" is sadly stunted men swimming in a cloud of misinformation so thick that escape appears difficult. Explaining one wrong thing nearly always involves dealing with not only present issues but prior preconceptions.

Although these men may possess in some areas of their life judgement, character, values but they are guided by not only fake information, but fake resources who will not only at need feed them more misinformation but has poisoned them against sources apt to contradict their line of bullshit.
It's not perfect but this, speaking as a casual observer, is something I think will improve with time. It took far too long to move away from fixed d-pads and now more games are experimenting with on-screen zones you tap to fire. There's still a lot of unwieldyness exactly as you noted but I think this is a surmountable challenge.
I'd like to think they'll at least make it easy to root or otherwise repurpose these because I like them and would likely get one, however, in the software part of the specs they state that they have been in the works with game studios to basically have them implement their anti-cheat systems in their platform so I suspect said studios would be against that.

This is pure speculation on my side and I really hope I'm dead wrong but that's the first thing that comes to mind when I think about it (also, their own DRM right?).

Edit : the reply bellow seems to prove me wrong =)
Yes, it's not terribly difficult to make Methane from CO2 and water using some electrolysis and the Sabatier reaction. You can also do that on Mars.
Yes, there are multiple constructivist approaches possible. However since my objection to classical approaches is that I want "X exists" to be meaningful, I like mathematical objects that can be written down with a finite number of symbols in a finite space. Which means that I'm only interested in a countable universe of possible mathematical things.

If you say "exists" about anything else, I'll understand you - I do have advanced degrees in math. But I'll think that you're using the word "exists" in a deeply artificial way.
> I'm still not over watching it live

I had a goal in 2020 to drive from Toronto to Florida to watch the next Falcon Heavy launch and dual-landings. Then the pandemic hit... but conveniently, they pushed back the FH launches by a year as well!

Depending on the status of the border, the pandemic, and all of that, I might take a trip down if they have one this fall.
somewhat off topic, but i'm 45 and just recently got my first pair of prescription reading glasses -- a game changer!
To me, someone whose gaming experience rounds down to "never", but who's casually interested in maybe playing some games, this looks very appealing. Switch form-factor but it runs PC games? I don't need to carry around a tower with me and sit in front of a desk and disconnect my peripherals from my other computer? Sounds great!
Because you are rewarded to cuddle metrics not make things that work properly.
1. As a hiring manager that can code, I'd always open your GitHub if you put it prominently in your application.

2. If there was a lot of work on your GitHub or a really interesting project, I'd riffle through it.

3. If you had a bunch of good public code, that was a good signal, and you'd likely get an interview.

If you didn't put a GitHub profile, no problem. If you put one that was blank, then you at least lost some time from my review of your application having me click through, so it probably hurt you at least a minor amount.
In my own experience, the hardware support that breaks is the GPU. For me, the GPU has broken occasionally (once every couple years) regardless of distribution, unless I'm using an Intel GPU or an older GPU with mainline support.

I'm sure that Valve is going to install a much smaller set of core software than a typical desktop, though.
> logical application of control algorithms.

LOL. Reusable rockets left as an exercise for the reader.
Gentoo, like Debian, has always been a good distribution for derivatives. It is quite flexible and you can definitely distribute binaries in the case of a commercial derivative. Gentoo has also been used more widely in the embedded world (because it has the ability to lower its footprint). Known derivatives include Chromium OS and CoreOS/Flatcar Linux. Both of them do not use the source model.

Fedora is also very friendly with derivatives and features the ability to upgrade painlessly through atomic upgrades/rollbacks, thanks to rpm-ostree. Something that is shared with Nix. RedHat is mostly a sponsor and Fedora is community-maintained. Unlike CentOS, RedHat didn't get any bad press on how it tries to influence Fedora. Fedora is pretty consistent and quite polished on the desktop side. You also get a distribution who has access to the most influential upstream distributors (including for the graphical stack for example).

Debian/Arch do not offer such things. Arch does not even offer a stable base to start from. Taking a random snapshot of a rolling distribution needs a lot of work. Ubuntu does that with Debian. All Arch derivatives are desktop distributions. It would be interesting to know why Steam did not continue with Debian. Is it bad experience on the previous SteamOS or inability for Debian to move forward?
The leadership does, but their interests are political so that they may end up in the ranks of the private contractors selling materials and services to the military. It's beyond dysfunctional and isn't well recognized. The military industrial complex has converged into a self-defeating feast of taxpayer's money.

> My own personal experience with Arch & Debian Sid is that Sid is noticeably more stable than Arch, long term.

I have the exact opposite experience, I used to use sid and had to do full-blown reinstall every couple months because e.g. dpkg would break too much and I wouldn't be able to install anything, or once, even boot and ended up migrating to arch despite the warnings - never had to reinstall the distro once since then
It seems that IPOs are sometimes the only way for investors and founders to cash out, or get a return on their investments, even if the companies themselves are unprofitable or unsustainable.

I don't know about their investors, but I assume they aren't pushing for an IPO because Valve works well and is profitable as it is.
I use Arch btw
> Mobile gaming is a meme at this point

I can't take your post seriously, but just for posterity:

- The lifetime-to-date sales figure now stands at 84.59 million Switch units shipped worldwide since its launch in 2017

- Game sales for the year also spiked by 37 percent, selling 230.88 million units compared to 168.72 million units in the previous fiscal year

Ad account managers do not care about impressions that the FB application reports (unless they're Coca-Cola or J&J). They care about the actual conversions, i.e. sales. Those are happening on their internal ecommerce platform, so those aren't stats FB can juice. You can see where the converting traffic is coming from.

If FB's targeting wasn't working, then nobody would have a reason to move away from paying Google and Bing to post ads on search results. FB and Google now own the online ads market, and FB got there in well under a decade.
Guilty. For various reasons, I just don't find gaming on my laptop or media computer an enjoyable experience. Too much dealing with thermals, audio/controller issues, random driver crashes and updates (thanks AMD), etc etc.

I know I can get it to work, but when I'm at the point in the day where I just want to play a game for an hour before bed, the PS4 can have me into it in 10 seconds or less with a very low likelihood of drama.

Anyway, I know this isn't universal, but it's enough of a thing for me that I've even re-bought Humble Bundle games on PSN just so I can enjoy playing them that way.

Maybe Steam Deck would be polished enough to change my mind?

You mean code without resources?

The required storage is listed on the steam store page, Cyberpunk for instance requires 70 GB free.
It's a very noisy datapoint, but compare performance VW Smalltalk to NodeJS:

https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

VW Smalltalk is between 2x and 27x times slower than Javascript.

And Pharo is slower yet than VW Smalltalk:

https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

Nevertheless, as the front page the the Benchmarks Game is careful to mention, benchmark performance is 1) not necessarily representative of real-world performance and 2) not even always important in the greater context!

Still, it's sad that Smalltalk & company haven't received the VM optimization attention that JS has. What would our world look like if Brendan Eich had gone for Smalltalk instead of creating a language from scratch?
If Delta can produce any evidence that such app ideas were already discussed before he brought his own concept to management he is screwed.

Honestly this isn't very novel idea. It's possible that many people came up with this very same idea before he did.
Does this mean it's a next gen AMD APU, since it uses LPDDR5? I don't think Cezanne (current Zen 3-based APUs) support DDR5.
Widely-used really doesn't mean anything anything to me.

The numbers are 13 million lite vs 85 million non-lite sales.

The mobile part is a meme, it's subsidized by the people who just want play Nintendo games (and the switch is the only/best way to do it)
I'm all in favor of meat taxes. I suspect that most people (in the US at least) are in favor of change of how animals are treated in factory farms. But their refrain from changing anything about their behavior is "the government should do something about it". While government action would be the best scenario (outlawing battery cages, adding taxes on meat, etc), doing nothing isn't an appropriate personal response.

Before I reduced my meat consumption to virtually zero, my last concern was "how could I, a tiny individual, make any difference?" And then I heard the expected value argument (where my purchase could result in an extra bulk order from the supplier - so even if low probability, it was still better to abstain).
Totally agree that this should be called war profiteering, although I don't think the people who engaged in it were shamed in the slightest.

A lot of the comments here are surprisingly dismissive. I think having the ability to project parts of your git repo (still with a normal git api!) is an incredibly useful feature. Take the example of DefinitelyTyped: the maintainers can just do all the things they want in one repository which _vastly_ reduces the development overhead, but consumers of that code can use it however they please. If I understand correctly, you could have a submodule reference work out of the box but to a subset of that repo that you care about - seems pretty damn cool to me!

The current Iranian government is not a nice government. But then again the US was also not a very nice government for pulling out from a deal with Iran that many other countries supported because it would help prevent Iran getting nuclear bombs.
So why use Arch then? You're not going to use the main feature of it which is rolling release and constant updates.
Do you know what happens when the engine burns the fuel? What gets released into the atmosphere? I know methane is a greenhouse gas but when it's getting burned it doesn't get released raw.

Emulators already run on it out of the box.

But you can run emulators on all sorts of things. Hell, I first played through BoTW on a WiiU emulator on my PC. I still ended up buying a Switch and one of the first things I did with it was play BoTW again.
This sounds like a threat to US military readiness and operational capabilities in a serious conflict.
Looks at my 374Gb Ark install. Yah thats gonna be an issue. (I think about 50gb is mods but still.)
I didn’t mean you specifically. I think the ethical conversation is more interesting but I also think that people will feel different if, say, the Linux Foundation releases its own version of copilot and it’s not just one company reaping the rewards of all that code. And I’d like to make it easy for other competitors to do exactly that. It will be harder for them to do that if we think that the models themselves are copyrightable. I don’t think something like copilot is going to make anyone think twice 5 yrs from now any more than we think twice about something like google autocomplete or google search thumbnail images. I think stuff like copilot if properly tuned won’t be providing a substitute for whole GPL projects. I don’t think OSS communities will be damaged by this in any way. In fact those same oss communities are going to be some of the biggest users of these sorts of tools just like they use stackoverflow today.
What makes you say that? That is quite beefy machine, very capable of running most modern games on reasonable settings (the resolution is a lot smaller than what people are used to which means lot fewer pixels to push). The only concern I would have is thermals and cooling but I'm sure they have it figured out.
I didn’t mean “it doesn’t work” I mean it only works because one end of the transaction doesn’t really understand what they are paying, and if they did - they wouldn’t. That’s not viable. It’s similar to a business model that relies on people mistyping a search term or forgetting to cancel a subscription. It only “works” (is profitable) because of the lack of transparency
Goddamn, take my money
thank you!
We solved 3 challenges as described in the blog post.
The first one is really gathering metadata of different index files to know in advance where to read exactly the index data that will be needed when receiving a query. We call this the "hotcache". The hotcache is specific to quickwit.
Then we also modified the index structure so that we only need to make only 3 subsequent queries on the storage to fetch the relevant data for return the matching documents. The index structure is coded in tantivy.
Finally, with parallelisation of queries, we get the right throughput from s3.

We definetetly need to write a blog post on that and explain what we did in some meetups and confs.

PS: it's tantivy not tantivity :)
Today is the first time I've considered that, but it's certainly something we should think about. If big projects moved on this, I think github would take notice and "issue a clarification".
Kubuntu is hardly bloated, and if you're really worried about size, Ubuntu has minimal and server images you can base a Plasma-powered desktop off of.
I think they're completely different audiences. Nintendo games aren't, and never were about cutting edge graphics or the latest tripple A games. They were always about family/kids oriented more casual games. Which is not to disparage them in any way. I like playing some nintendo games every now and then.

But my mom bought a Wii back in the days. For herself. My mom doesn't usually play video games. And she is most certainly not at all interested in playing Doom or Hades (just because they're shown prominently on the webpage). But she liked Wii Fit and bought a Wii.

I honstly think the subset of people who would buy a Steam Deck to avoid buying a switch is so small, it would not put a significant dent in nintendo's bottom line.
It's frustrating that the discussion around technology's effects on society is still stuck between the extremes of:

- "tech has a causal effect on society"

- "society has a causal effect on tech, tech is a mirror"

At this point it seems pretty patently obvious that the reality is both? Technology is subject to pre-existing flaws in society, but also has the capability to amplify and worsen it.

> the popularity of these posters demonstrates that their userbase is increasingly low rent

It's worth considering if exposure to FB is what is causing the userbase increasingly "low rent". Yeah, FB didn't invent partisanship, misinformation, nor authoritarianism, but I think likely it is worsening it.
You'll need some service provider that will route your messages for you. Twilio is the probably the biggest, but my recommendation would be Telnyx.
If you’re referring to the Falcon Heavy side booster landings, I got to see the first one live at Kennedy Space Center. It was one of the only things in my entire life I’d describe as pure magic. It was amazing and so beautiful to see.

I agree that it doesn't improve things at the service interface level. What I have found is that I often have several internal libraries, and a monorepo ensures that I know if a change to my library breaks another service because they're all in one build. Keeping things consistent across services is very useful in my experience.
Is that for android build system only? West is a better one I think https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/west#basic-usage
> I would say this is squarely aimed at the existing switch customer base.

PC gamers and steam gamers are often very different markets. Nintendo, for decades now, was about fun, not power. I'm casual gamer, just for fun, and steam deck, while super cool, is certainly not going to replacement my switch.
You can install Windows on it too, to run run pretty much all the games.
I wonder what this might mean for the Valve Index.

I mean, 1.6TFlops is still far from an RTX 2080 (10.1 TFlops), by a factor of 10, but still…
Youtube Premium is a perfect example IMO. I know a lot of people who flat out refuse to do a trial, me included.

So clearly people are happy to be advertised to so why not show them things they might be interested in via tracking?
> In a lot of jobs, people end up in a situation where they are actively discouraged from doing anything on the side because it's always hard to know if they're even allowed.

Just don't sign one of those contracts. I treat that as a hard deal-breaker when I'm job searching. If a clause like that is present in an offer, I tell them they have to remove it or otherwise narrow it to cover only the work that is their legitimate business. If they refuse, I refuse the offer. It may take a little extra searching to do things this way, but it's possible if it's important to you.

My job is not my entire life. I won't have it casting a pall over my every waking moment.

Alternately: if your projects are not central to your happiness like mine are, typically the worst your company could do is say "we own that now", not forbid it exactly. So if a project is purely educational - you're not attached to it - then you probably have nothing to worry about. You could also get written permission for specific projects or contributions you'd like to make.
I wouldn't pose this as FB vs Google. Google is dealing intrinsic conversion metrics, as well, which are highly problematic regarding the total impact. (So, Google is yet another, while maybe broader bubble.)

On a historical note, as it turned out G+ was soon scrapped and quite a loss, while we're dealing still with the fallout of Google's uniform platform strategy, which was put in place to provide for G+.
