For general performance, the game is perfectly playable. It's capped at 60 fps, and there is still the occasional stutter (like, once an hour max for me). But if performance is what's been keeping you from picking up Elden Ring, I would say jump right in. The worst performance issues have been fixed, and it's easy to look past any other issues.

Regarding ultrawide: as far as I know, there's no official plan to add ultrawide support. So if you're waiting for ultrawide support, you may be waiting a long time.
I'm not a tech person and I don't know how to code so I've been exploring the no-code space. I've tried this Frontlyapp which is so cool and it's saving me a lot of time so far.
it's pretty awesome and inspired new projects.
nowadays i use logseq, but conceivably i could share the markdown with tiddlywiki.
it's also very good that you can use private sharable tiddlywiki's on the site. great for working together on projects.
This has been discussed at great length many many times and courts nor anyone serious about this topic agrees with you. The right is not predicated on being part of a militia in any way. Anyone who says this is pretty much immediately ignored by gun owners because they are clearly not serious at all about the topic.
Just for a second, imagine a company that isn't a software company, but needs software to run its business. Think manufacturing, logistics, shipping, construction, food (industrial scale egg production, for example) etc. There's a lot of companies like that out there...in fact it's almost all of them.

Those companies run all their boring, essential software (accounting, ERPs, etc.) on VMWare, Oracle, Azure, etc. Since software isn't their core business, they pay an external company to keep their software running. Like it or not, cloud providers are for software companies, and most companies have no interest in becoming a software company. They might have some small groups that do analytics or software in-house, and those groups might use cloud providers, but all the essential software will be run by a company you can call when something breaks, or if you're big enough embeds some staff in your office.

It's just good sense to outsource non-core functions. Software companies outsource hosting and datacenter stuff to AWS, etc. Why should enterprises deal with Linux directly?
This is where I’ve come to over the years as well. Generally defaults are best unless it’s something you really care about and that makes a big difference to your workflow.

Most configuration stuff doesn’t fit that category - or if it does, it’s best to first work on just caring about it less if possible.
"The captured water in the SHPF can be released by >70% within 10 min through mild heating at 60 °C under a wide range of RH (Fig. 3b and Supplementary Fig. 15). This mild heating temperature is realized by introducing the hydrophilic thermoresponsive HPC with optimized molecular weight, concentration, and pH of the initial precursor (Supplementary Figs. 9–14 and Supplementary Table 2)42"

I’ve ditched traditional productivity tools in favor of visual tools like Bleep (https://bleep.is) or Kinopio (https://kinopio.club). Haven’t looked since.

It’s so liberating not to have a mountain of tasks that I’ll never get to and instead enjoy time creating a visual space for things I care about.
So far I have only used Automic Automation from Broadcom. I found it supremely crappy. Its UI brings back memory of (I guess now defunct) IBM Websphere. But it is now an "Enterprise Solution" so it has to shoved down developer's throat with full force.

Just like analysts said IBM brought RedHat mainly for Openshift platform and I think there is some truth to it. Seems Broadcom has brought VMWare for their Tanzu platform which is direct competitor of Openshift. It is less about virtualization in corporate data centers which many agree here is legacy business at this point.
It's nuts to me that so many companies have moved off cookies for web app auth state. They're simple, they're well supported, they require very little work on the browser side, and the abstractions around them on the server side are basically bulletproof at this point.

I see all this talk about authentication, and it's just literally never been a problem or concern for my company.

> The freedom to flexibly put thoughts into code can be used to make code more readable, or less, it depends on the programmer. A significant code base in any language can turn into a hot mess

I'd love to read more about that. Have you by chance documented your experience somewhere?

"The world of shortwave radio listening often captures the final moments of a radio station somewhere in the world making its last announcement before closing down forever, and our Shortwave Transmissions project captures the melancholy of several final broadcasts, three of which we break down for you here, along with compositions built from those recordings."
Do you happen to do audio cleanup? There was a java app 5 years or more ago that could clean up old recordings of records. It worked quite well, and I was looking at paying for it when lightning put that PC out of commission, so I don't have browser history either. Had I actually paid I'd have an email.

I used it to clean up some old police training videos with narration by Jack Webb on YouTube. Didn't tag the video with the software, something I normally do.

The software was better than Adobe and audacity. I'd like to find it because I want to 'fix' the audio on quite a few Old Time Radio Researchers titles.
>Is this just a pure diversification play?

Probably. 6 months ago they were looking at acquiring SAS (which didn't go anywhere). The core competencies for that of those companies are even less related to what Broadcom does.
"Developer productivity and not getting too creative" is NOT a point in favor of Go. Go does not have a lot of batteries included. Things like error handling, logging, test bootstrapping, etc, require consensus on the team and tight coordination. Every project is basically its own framework. Most teams are not that well-oiled.

They are going to find this out the hard way.

And fast? Please. If your database queries are a mess, or if you have no discipline elsewhere, it doesn't matter what language you use - you will blow right past the "superfast" baseline.
Perl6 was really a different fiasco.

Perl had the could be bytes, could be characters fiasco in 5.8, but they didn't include a bunch of other difficult changes at the same time. 5.8 could be a bit rough around unicode, but 5.10 was pretty solid as I recall, and you can always use bytes; in a scope where you need bytes.
This was addressed in the article. You could for a few copies, but eventually the signal degraded to the point where a copy of a copy of a copy ... (n times) was unreadable. To combat this you would have to either dup from master, or read in (analog -> digital) followed by a read out (digital -> analog) to make a new pristine master.

For what it's worth I have 150 hours played already on a pretty old system - i5-3570K, 16GB RAM, 1070Ti. I have no idea what framerate I'm getting but I don't remember being bothered by the game's performance even once.

I suspect performance issues are uneven and affect some systems a lot more than others. I also suspect a lot of it comes down to expectations, I'm perfectly happy with my experience but others might consider it "unplayable"!

Edit: I also play offline usually, that might be a factor as well.

While that is what they did, they also used a batch size of 2048 while training. This is just to speed training up, not a hard requirement. It's easy for Google to justify more money on compute to save engineer iteration loops.

I'll have to read the paper for more details, but it would almost certainly cost less (and take longer) to train a model like this in a more resource constrained situation than Google faces .

Throwing money at a problem is an easy thing to do, if you’ve got the money. Lock-in sucks, but having someone to blame doesn’t.

A friend uses VMWare in an IT role at a medium sized company. They don’t have a software engineering team, just a bunch of users and an IT skeleton crew; so it makes sense for them.

Many of the paper planners you can buy have layouts like this. Are you asking about a digital planner?
When people bring up this I don't think they realize that there are already very few limits on what you can own in the US... if you have the money. There's nothing inherently illegal about owning fighters or tanks, for example [0] [1]. If you browse through [2] you'll find plenty of examples of fully functional civilian owned large caliber cannon and artillery. So if you want your jet or tank to be fully functional that's totally doable. Cannons larger than .50 caliber and any kind of explosive (exploding rounds, bombs, missiles) are perfectly legal, but they're classified as destructive devices that require ATF approval and $200 tax to purchase (that's $200 per bomb or projectile). Of course if you're in a position like Mr. Private Air Force in the first link, you can get to buy these things pretty freely without the tax or oversight.

As for needing more than 5 rounds for self defense, well, it's a bit tongue in cheek but I go along with this logic: https://www.reddit.com/r/liberalgunowners/comments/am4epf/en...

That's amazing. My dad and I were heading home from a trip to visit relatives (late '80's, I think) and he pulled a similar "hey, want to see something cool?" thing with me, and that's where we ended up.

I use PFSense and Snort at home and it's perfectly fine for the price I paid for it, but enterprise grade it ain't. I wouldn't use it to protect a network worth more than my beer budget.

You'll never hear it though. It goes into differences in regional culture and socialization. Anyone that isn't laughably wrong on the topic knows damn well to keep their mouth shut.
Asymmetric cryptography solves problems of statelessness: i.e. encrypt your sensitive|read-only data with your public key, decrypt it with your private key, beep boop, you can now use your client as a database. JWTs are a whole other unnecessary lasagne of complexity – not good complexity but random complexity, like the human appendix – which invites bugs and adds nothing above the former in most implementations. (Hell, my current company generates JWTs and then uses them as plain old 'random' keys to look up the session data in a database. It's hilarious but also awful.)
The Two Choices That Keep a Midlife Crisis at Bay
"Under the terms of the agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of
both companies, VMware shareholders will elect to receive either $142.50 in cash or 0.2520 shares of
Broadcom common stock for each VMware share. The shareholder election will be subject to proration,
resulting in approximately 50% of VMware’s shares being exchanged for cash consideration and 50%
being exchanged for Broadcom common stock. Based on the closing price of Broadcom common stock
on May 25, 2022, the total $138.23 per-share consideration represents a 44% premium to the closing
price of VMware common stock on May 20, 2022, the last trading day prior to media speculation
regarding a potential transaction, and a 32% premium to VMware’s unaffected 30-day volume weighted
average price (VWAP). Upon closing of the transaction, based on the outstanding shares of each
company as of the date hereof, current Broadcom shareholders will own approximately 88% and
current VMware shareholders will own approximately 12% of the combined company on a fully diluted
basis. " [1]

1. The deal might not go through, or the terms might change.

2. You might not be able to get 100% cash for your shares.

- Dotfile repo hoested on GitHub

- `git clone` said repository to my machines

- `ln` from repository folder to `~/` (can be done in an install script or piecemeal)

- `git pull` to update

I also purposely try and use as many default configurations as possible. I use a lot of remote machines that do not have my configs on them, so I do not want to become too reliant on custom setups.
Yes but a Porsche/MB/Tesla recall is me taking my car to a shop within 30min or less of my home (or in Tesla case, mobile tech comes to me most often).

With Lucid, it's still unclear they even have a service center anywhere on the east coast yet. There are 2 scheduled for northeast in "summer" and "fall".

Lucid & Rivian have still delivered something like 10-15 cars in all of NY state vs 600+ Taycans (who yes has had a multi-year head start on sales and decades head start on service network).
It works both ways —- they get their competitors’ R&D too.

Plenty of companies seem to be OK with using GPL2-licensed Linux, why wouldn’t qemu be the same?
It's not purely a case of vendor lock-in, but that shouldn't be downplayed too much. Virtualization is still very much applicable for the legacy applications which are still prevalent. New apps may run in containers, but it's not just a few big companies running ancient legacy software.

When you refer to smaller company and mention docker, or open source, it's only those that are tech startups, or close to the field with the skill to operate in this fashion. The majority of small and medium companies don't have the skills or resources to do this. Over time that changes, but it's completely unrealistic to think that they can get away quickly from VMware (even when their overworked IT person would like to.)
Yes, as I pointed out in an answer to a sibling comment, the effects of global veganism and car-lessness could indeed be positive—that's why they are lofty ideals. My answer was challenging the suggestion that “the same argument” from the original commenter could be used to argue for mandatory veganism or the banning of cars. In other words, the forced bit.
I’ve used a git repo with ansible on ubuntu, win10, WSL2 and macos. Works close-enough-ish and I mainly use it to copy dotfiles into place. I’ve used symlinks in the past to avoid reliance on a tool, but symlinks are no good on windows.
This doesn't seem to adjust for the programming language, it might be the case across the development ecosystem.

This probably doesn't deserve it's own HN article, but seems highly appropriate for this thread; in 1998, an artist named "The User" released an album of music composed for dot matrix printers. The recording quality is outstanding, as are the compositions, so while it may not have the automatic familiarity of covering "The Eye of the Tiger", I would argue it is a superior piece of music, to which this is the link:

Ugh, seriously. Like utilize instead of use.
What makes it so stressful?
Dotfiles in my home directory go in a repo that gets cloned and "installed" (I use a shell script that I wrote to make all the symlinks, but GNU Stow is probably better better). System level configuration and package installation is handled by ansible, with a certain amount of stuff controlled by conditional statements based on the distro and host name of the machine to allow arbitrarily local overrides.

All that said, if I was starting today I would strongly consider just putting everything into nix with home manager and carry that config around in a git repo that installed my packages and their configuration and encapsulated my entire environment.

I also remember seeing .the .product for the first time and it absolutely blowing my mind.

This was pre-youtube of course so you had to actually download and run the binary.

But it's over 20 years old now and I suspect it's not very impressive to the next generation brought up on ready-to-use engines and asset stores, even if it does all fit in less space than a single typical asset.

But part of what made it impressive 20+ years ago is that the graphics were good and the framerate super smooth. While they weren't Quake3 levels of graphics quality they were genuinely great for something so small.

That quality doesn't translate when looking at it now, especially when viewing it through youtube and a layer of compression.
Need for Speed: But in India
I wish I could find the video but there was a great video by this Army infantryman who explained why there wouldn't be a splintering of the US military and why they would 100% kill US insurgents. Basically before shit hits the fan the National Guard would be mobilized and no longer receiving news. So if the government committed some horrible atrocity, they wouldn't hear it. Second let's say there's a Waco-style siege of an insurrectionist group holed up in a compound with families. Their briefing would say that "the insurrectionists fired on US troops and are using civilians as human shields" not "some of your fellow citizens and their families have rebelled against the tyrannical US government". Our military performs countless atrocities every day with almost zero defectors and yet for some reason people think that if they ever fought on US soil, they would begin falling out of line.
Lead Arsenate Use in Apple Production [pdf]
If the stock is trading at $120/share that means everyone who owns stock (and is paying attention and offering it for sale) won’t sell for less than $120. But that doesn’t mean all of them, or even most of them, would sell for $120. Many of them probably believe their stock should be worth more than $120 and expect the price to go up in the future. So if you want to buy out the whole company you have to pitch a price high enough that a majority of shareholders (or the board of directors as their fiduciary proxy) agree to sell at that price. This is basically guaranteed to be a substantially higher price than whatever the current market price is, because if the average shareholder didn’t expect the stock price to go up, why are they holding shares?

As the deal becomes increasingly likely to go through, the stock price will likely gradually shift up to match the deal price.
I never found this argument convincing. There are many differences between Australia and the US. It's like saying "American does X and is wealthy and relatively not corrupt, Mexico should just do X". This is the whole "bring democracy to the Middle East" argument repackaged.
The use of "private-key encryption system" here is referring to symmetrical ciphers, It's an odd use of "private-key" that's for sure.
I worked at a company that was mired in tech debt. At least 4 different UI frameworks were in use, one of which was totally not supported. Multiple versions of the app were left accessible, with links from the new to the old, because the new version was not feature complete. "Feature flags" were expressed in at least 3 different ways. It was a nightmare to figure out if something was on or off, and why. The back end was based on a non supported language version, with several old, deprecated third-party packages as a result. The company appeared organized, superficially, but at the lower levels of implementation it was a total dumpster fire.

They were constantly "pivoting", but leaving the old junk around.
