Steam DRM might not easily allow this, although I trust in Valve's ethics to permit offline play if shit hits the fan.

In fact I remember reading from a community representative that there are plans for this in place (not the best source but whatever https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/18mzcn/i_asked_steam...)
Force game developers to port their games to Linux / Vulkan, when neither PS nor XBox use these toolchains, with the uncertainity of Google products, no wonder it never took off.
A cream with DHT or a DHT derivative (Masterone, etc) may accomplish that.
It's probably not what you're looking for but I find vim bindings for VSCode is a good balance between vanilla vim and an IDE.
>>Maybe if Stadia allowed you to play the games on your machine OR Stadia, the would have been a more compelling offering. Personally, I would have loved a service like that

GeForce now and xbox cloud both seem to check those boxes, with geforce now offering more permanence. You buy a game on steam or GoG or epic or whatever, than play it offline on your computer or stream via geforce now. I was skeptical but loved it for the last year or so when my computer couldn't run cyberpunk 2077 and I didn't want to sell kidney for a rtx card :)

Selling games directly on Stadia might just be the wrong business model.

Selling access to a machine on demand seems much more appealing.

GeForce NOW, despite initial problems with publishers, will always leave you with the option of moving to a different service or building your own machine to run the games you own.
"and then pretty much never invested it again."

That's the difference, there simply wasn't any point investing in Stadia, because, well, this. There was no value to achivements, generated media, friend circles or god-forbid buying games because we knew it was going to be cancelled.
A centralized exchange is not a blockchain. Depositing dollars into Coinbase is similar to depositing dollars into PayPal. The company can and should be regulated as a legal entity in order to protect user's funds and minimize fraud.

Regulating a blockchain or smart contract is a harder matter.

The idea that importing lamb from NZ is better than locally grown is absolutely ridiculous I wouldn't even know where to start.
Yeah... The "rumour" has been going on for a while -- I myself helped promulgate it, just after Stadia released!!

I smugly clicked into TFA, expecting my cynicism to finally be flattered, but... Like the parent says, this is just that same smuggery we commenters have been predicting since the service started. It's not like the writing on the wall is ambiguous, it's just not official. This isn't the official announcement either.
It was pretty clearly marketed as a competitor to consoles and gaming pc:s.

AI should have been called 'dynamic algorithms' or 'learned algorithms' from the start, so as to get rid of this ridiculous notion of 'intelligence' that confuses everyone.

most of the user commentary I remember, and certainly my thoughts on the matter, were that Google would grow bored and shut it down pretty quickly...
Counterfeit goods is not so present in France, definitely not on Fnac and neither really an issue on amazon.fr. the issue is more with Chinese drop shipping of the same article with different brand name. You cannot find a thing on amazon.fr, I guess it is the same in the US

I'm not sure how it is in the US, but the simple fact of coming back with a Louis Vuitton bag from a country known for counterfeiting might trigger an investigation from the customs, with confiscation + fine if you wear a counterfeit.

I try to do the best I possibly can and write clean, elegant code that I'm proud to look at afterwards, but for small teams 1-4 people, sometimes it's just required to do the 95% implementation that ships today. The 'it will cost me more later' is absolutely true, but often there is a business case to get moving on the next feature to stay ahead of the competition.

There's definitely an optimum point between quality & shipping. You need to know when to stop spending exponential effort on the last 5%, and move onto the next low hanging fruit.
In addition to what everyone else who has replied said, Valve (or at least a support rep, so this doesn't carry as much weight as Gabe Newell himself saying it, but it was at least someone speaking in an official capacity) has said that in the event that the Steam service has to be discontinued, "measures are in place to ensure that that all users continue to have access to their Steam games".
I really hope they'll release a firmware update for the controller, before they shut down Stadia, so it can be used as a regular Bluetooth HID controller. It already works like that through a USB-C cable, but not wirelessly, unfortunately.
That would be awesome. It reminds me that in the book ready player one they have a shampoo that gets rid of all your hair.
What about working contracts or consulting? You get the programming but less of the corporate BS... although being self employed brings it's own headaches of course.

It's not that difficult of a loop to break. They simply need to decide: no more shut downs for the next 10 years.

After that, they need to think very carefully before starting anything new, and if they do, commit to it.
>Steam explicitly a service where you buy a defined and limited license for permission

Simply not true. There is really no arguments here. You can run most games directly from the game files without steam. In the cases were you can't you would have issues with DRM in all other venues of purchase.
I have got to wonder if Google's known lack of commitment to any given product is hurting them on things that require commitment like GCP.
There's no such thing as a professional phone user. In Apple's nomenclature "pro" means the more expensive and better model.
I can't think of any other service from Google that's more weirdly polarizing, although Google's Pixel phones probably run a close second. People either find Stadia useful and say they use it regularly, or they hate it to the point they seemingly spend their days telling everyone how terrible Stadia is, how it was doomed from the start, how investing in the platform is a waste of time and money, etc. Oddly, you get the same thing on Pixel forums where people spend as much time telling everyone how they switched and how much better their new $whateverphone is than their previous $googlephone as people do looking for support or saying they like their phone just fine.

Perhaps when Google disappoints people they really disappoint them? It seems like an oddly visceral and out of proportion reaction to waste time on the internet disgruntled and complaining that some people like something you don't like.
I am fearful of adopting Flutter for this reason.
How to know if a Google project is getting shut down: Is it ad-related? If not, it's already dead and just doesn't know it yet.
I've played like 400 hours of endgame destiny on it during the pandemic, it's fine. The criticism that you need to be near a major city may be valid, I don't know because I'm near a major city. The wifi latency is a bigger factor than the rest.
I think they got El Pibe de Oro mixed up with Carlos "El Pibe" Valderrama, who astonishingly doesn't appear in Santa Marta or anywhere in Colombia.
The elaboration of rulial theory: https://www.wolframphysics.org/

It’s such an intriguing idea, and early correspondences seem so strong, that it seems impossible we won’t learn some awesome things about how physical theories relate and arise.
What we need is a portable digital license. Like a card we can store in a sort of internet wallet and present to storefronts to get access to a game. That way publishers wouldn’t be able to bully customers to the extent they currently do.

No way the gaming community would be opposed to such a thing.
>most Steam games use Steam servers to authenticate ownership

Not true. Maybe if you mainly play ubisoft tiles.
We actually tried building a PWA for a previous iteration of Parsnip and it was a terrible experience. You can still try it here: https://beta.parsnip.ai/

I don't think PWAs are ready for mass adoption yet... and they may never be, as they are trying to shoehorn an old technology into a new mode of interaction. See also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32276188.
>But this one is probably the clearest, obvious failure of execution ... There is an absolutely crystal clear playbook of a Tech company forcing its way into the Gaming business.

I'm not sure this was an 'obvious failure of execution'. They wanted to build a gaming cloud-streaming-only service, and they built one. I don't think you can build a better one because the problems with cloud-streamed gaming are with the concept not execution. The streaming service provided by Xbox is on par with Stadia, in that it suffers from the same latency, and graphical downscaling issues as Stadia did. On the Xbox it is part of my subscription (so technically 'free') and I don't want to use it because the experience is bad (although it is nice to quickly sample a game without needing to wait for download and install).
You are in for a fun time when you need to make circular data structures with ARC.
I've used xbox cloud gaming before. The lag made it hard to use, but I appreciate having a way to 'test out a game' before downloading 50-70 gb of install media. For that purpose, if nothing else, its a win.

The big difference, I think, for why google is made fun of for stadia but few people throw rocks at Microsoft is the game selection. Microsoft does not kill off their projects willy-nilly so game manufacturers, I assume, feel better about crawling into their bed than googles.

New or old, it's not worth the price. The USB protocol for HID is a solved problem, if you have issues with that particular mouse and 99.99% of people do not, it's not a kernel issue, it's terrible hardware.
I don't understand how people figure out what registry entries to make out of the ether for certain changes.

I don't know why most programs have an in-program settings menu, an external settings.json or something similar, and then registry entries to configure similar things.

I don't know why Windows has almost 0 policing about programs editing the registry. If you uninstall a program, why is it so hard to remove all entries? Why do entries usually from deleted programs sometimes turn into random strings of characters?

The whole thing reminds me of developers installing to %APPDATA% without my agreement, because they want to circumvent getting admin permissions. That's the whole point of admin permissions. Also if I don't want everything installed on my C drive, because it's a smaller sized SSD, I'm just out of luck.
A game streaming service is a solution to a different problem, not yours. It's much more reliable to control the performance by running it locally and tweaking the graphical fidelity than by running it remotely and adding unpredictable network performance as a factor. Instead, game streaming is meant to solve the problem of playing a game on a system that could never ever hope to run it, or to play it away from one's main system.
What's New in Playwright v1.24
I had a Nextbit Robin which was one of the first with a side fingerprint reader, back in 2016. I'm right handed so I didn't use it often but when I did pick up the phone with my left hand my index finger worked pretty well. It was also 3mm wider than the Zenfone 9, so as long as you have an average sized hand and they haven't bungled the implementation I think it would probably work okay.
How wonderful, that gave me the feelies. From the artist's website:

> The piano imitates the human voice and at the same time operates as an alienated recording and reproducing device. It has thus been replaced as traditional musical instrument: no artist operates it in order to play music. It becomes an oversized phonograph which is not used for the production of previously composed music but for the reproduction of the human voice. The sudden comprehensibility of single words, whenever the piano becomes the faithful representation of language, equally has the effect of a phantom’s abrupt appearance: the close up reality of the voice is a ghostly apparition – as though the “forbidden” border between dream (music) and reality (language) had been crossed. The “talking” piano represents a mimetic machine which is capable of producing the mimesis of a mimesis: it absorbs, it imitates what has already previously been imitated, namely the recording of sound.

you should probably avoid the term engineer and use "developer" instead, and "junior"
If money was no object, what would technologically be possible right now in terms of latency?
Whatever happened to the "negative latency" feature they promised? For context, they claimed that Google AI would be able to learn how you play games, predict what you'll do, simulate ahead and then send those frames to your Chromecast in advance so there's 0 input latency.
eh - I vaguely disagree. I think most of the people in the US are also off (or at least historically "dated").

Even without looking, I could pretty immediately tell that this was wikipedia data, since most of the names are "textbook famous".

So really - we're both saying that the word "famous" was probably the wrong pick. Should have just said "Map of wikipedia's most known people from every city" and then the skew is clear.
It does, through the Files app (and Finder on macOS)

This was the first processor family I used for my own builds when I got into the hobby in 2004. I came of age when AMD was on top. I've only had two Intel processors in my main machines over the past 18 years - a Pentium D 805 (cheap dual core vs. AMD's offerings) and a Haswell in 2014 (K10 was a disaster).
Think it through. Of cause you cant get the games files if the provider goes offline. You can make a backup of any of your games in steam, which will make it possible to install it again offline on other machines.

Stadia is not shutting down. Rest assured we're always working on bringing more great games to the platform and Stadia Pro. Let us know if you have other questions."
Think you need to embrace it, I look at pictures of a time where I was still holding on and now I cringe. I guarantee you will feel better if you just shave it. The only people who look bad are the ones who are balding, not the ones who are bald.
I would think it would be trivial for them to pay to let another service transfer the licenses. Of course, this would benefit potential future competitors' market share. So I guess they think it would be better to screw their customers?

(Granted, it's all a rumor so far)

didn't we already have that for certain games? I remember when I bought WoW in 2010 it came with a code. If I wanted to reinstall the game I would put in the same code, this was before battle.net client.
Haven't used Stadia but have played on GFN multiple games without issues. Cloud gaming actually works.
I was pointing out how much Python like code it is possible to write in modern C++, everything else is irrelevant.
Same, I thought for an occasional gamer like myself it was a good value service with a very low cost of entry.

I am now pretty reluctant to pay to keep any games though with this rumour alive.
Maybe Google's problem is that as a company they are set up to run products of google-scale. They could start a subsidiary company that gets all of the "too small for google" products, keeping them alive build customer trust and maybe even turn a profit
XBox cloud is way better than Stadia, it's very smooth in both Chrome and on Nvidia Shield on my TV.

Stadia's offerings are weak, buying licenses you don't control doesn't make sense, and the things like the Ubisoft integration is awkward and expensive.

If I was going to use a non-Xbox Cloud service it would mostly just be a way to play Steam games on a cloud pc. But that's what I use https://www.paperspace.com/ + Parsec for on my Mac, it's a hosted high end GPU hosting a stripped down Windows 10, every Steam game works flawlessly on a fiber connection plus you get to use Torrents.
Bethesda did this when they shut down their own launcher - you could sign in with a steam account and all your purchases would be transferred there.
I imagine these would have a great place in on-prem SANS and cloud vendors.
sadly it isn't using real transfer times

I supposed it would be much worse in Germany if real data was used
The escalation spiral of physical violence ultimately leads to a sufficiently motivated insane group killing millions of people with a dirty nuke, or blackmailing the rest of society with such.

They are saying that you have to look at the past from the perspective of the people who lived in the past, and not from the perspective of the present.

While from your perspective as someone living in an individualist culture in 2022 there are few women, someone in the past would not have perceived it from that viewpoint as modern individualism had not yet been developed.

The history of our culture and in fact all of humanity is the history of kin groups, that then developed into families, then into individualism (in some places).
The only reason I keep my Facebook account is because my wife uses it on occasion.
This should be correct but it probably is less about the "animation being closer to real life" and more about the actual measurement method. A camera measuring at 24 fps is likely going to have exposure times closer to 1/24 and measure an average scene over that time instead of an instantaneous measurement. The oversampling method you suggest would correct for this.
Exactly this. How could Google even expect any of their services to be successful now, besides by attracting sufficiently gullible customers?
You're absolutely right.

I think the reason this kind of non-news gets any traction at all is that Google is known to shut down services rather than fix their revenue model, and that Stadia has been a failure for some time. So we all know Google will shut it down, just waiting for it.

Keep launching this rumor, and you'll be right eventually.
Thanks! I was invested in improving the user experience of strace. Strace is incredibly useful for debugging but I wouldn't consider it particularly "accessible". Understanding the output is quite a challenge at first. My goal was to remove this burden and therefore make strace accessible to a broader audience. I probably should also mention that Julia Evan's talks also had quite an impact on me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfD9IMZ9rKY :)
You can do everything you describe with a regular function call. Introducing an unnecessary service for something as trivial as config management is even worse than the broken Registry status quo.
Or a single last update from the servers that made every server check come back legit.
Is this sarcastic?

I mean, the versioning part sounds good, but JSON like request?

I do believe people don't know what inefficient/efficient a system can be depending on the data format they are using.
The obvious difference is that games downloaded from steam are on your machine and are yours to keep forever - if Valve goes bankrupt you can still have copies(whether they would launch or not is a different question, but I'm sure someone would find a technical solution). When Stadia shuts down that's it, the games are gone, because you can't make an offline copies of them.

I imagine that's actually the point. IG has little need to build for the people currently on Instagram. They're getting that ad revenue already. Their goal is to get new people to join IG and trigger ad views, and TikTok proved that there's a huge crowd of people that can provide for that goal. They just need to expand the product to appeal to them. So that's what they did.

My favourite was 50 Shades of Gray playing at 6PM on public tv (ie: everyone gets this channel).

Python ecosystem is getting more verbose and less ergonomic than Haskell while still not being able to reach even the minimum level of type safety of the latter (i.e. a default compiler mode without extensions like GADTs, type families and so on). At the same time Haskell ecosystem is getting more ergonomic and "pythonic". Consider these two complete and fully typed minimal programs. Why do they keep saying that Python is great for small scripts?
