There are 7 Commander Keen core games: a trilogy (Invasion of the Vorticons, Keen 1-3), a duology (Goodbye, Galaxy, Keen 4-5), and two standalone games (Aliens Ate My Babysitter, Keen 6 and Keen Dreams, Keen 3.5). The complete pack includes Invasion of the Vorticons and Goodbye, Galaxy, which gives you five of the seven.

Aliens Ate My Babysitter has never been commercially rereleased and is owned by Softdisk, not iD Software

Keen Dreams was -- believe it or not -- bought at auction by a kid named Javier Chavez who didn't know anything about programming or games and subsequently got himself permanently banned from Steam after posting a bunch of alt-right political stuff (!) and eventually changing his developer username to contain homophobic insults against the guy who owns Steam. He also released a reskin of the open source Hovertank 3D that changed the plot to be about killing refugees.

You can see some documentation of the above (note: obviously this has insults, slurs, homophobia, insulting people by calling them Jews, etc.)

Anyway, after he was banned from Steam, the company Nightdive Studios initially reached an agreement with him to transfer ownership to them. They released a more technically polished version on Steam. At some point he began to contest their licensing arrangement and he had the game pulled again. There is a Switch release licensed by him.

If you want to buy Keen Dreams from him, you can do so at https://www.keendreams.com/, knowing you are giving money to the person I described above. You might notice that the "About us" page reads "We’re a small team of independent devs with a huge liking for older and unappreciated games, who took it upon us to re-release them to new players to enjoy! Look out for our releasr of Keen Dreams soon to be succeeded by more!" or that the main page features an incredibly JPEG artifacted low resolution image of the title screen and other gems like "Commander Keen keen dreams was considered the “lost episode” of Commander Keen, a franchise of 2d side scrolling games developed by id software decades ago." [sic] or "Smooth as butter 60fps gameplay, after all 30fps that’s so next gen consoles…" [sic]

So, that's the sad fate of Keen Dreams.
I think this is a bit pedantic. At the end of the day, the weights that determine the odds of the next term are still completely bound by the limits of the training data, and I'm pretty sure that's what GP was referring to.

I get the writing but it's too vague to represent using "than understanding tech". Under the context of the overall brand of the website--letters to a new developer- then it would be better to change the title/wording to better silo under the brand.

Good article nonetheless. It is true and just like every job, people matter more than the niche action.

I think you're being downvoted because is ambiguous whether you're in agreement of that statement or not.
>>$4500/mo after paying for your home basically leaves little room for error or, frankly, joy in your life. Can't take trips, can't have pets, can't donate to causes, can't go out to eat much or anywhere nice, etc

None of this is "struggling to make ends meet". I've seen this before though - people make good money, have a place to live, make payments for a nice car, have enough to put food on the table, to pay for their energy bills, to send their kids to school/childcare, and yet they will say they are barely hanging on because they can't save a lot every year or go on holidays.

Like, I really sympathise, but that's not barely making ends meet. 4.5k after rent is enough to live on almost anywhere in the world.
> Plus, many residents of suburbs commute to work in cities, where they contribute to the success of businesses that pay taxes in those cities.

But often not by enough to balance the amount of publicly-funded road space and parking they use.

> These arguments about taxes are also a form of special pleading that we don't see much of in other debates. Taxes are redistribution. Quite a lot of people and organizations get more in benefits from the government than they pay for, e.g. welfare recipients and students getting grants, companies get subsidies, state governments move money around to pay for schools, etc. Nobody seriously argues that the police and fire departments should only serve people who pay income tax, or that people without children shouldn't be taxed to pay for schools. Yet for some reason people seem to think that suburbs should have a unique requirement to pay for themselves 100% and can't be sustained if they don't.

We absolutely get these arguments on other topics when public money is being spent on luxuries for the wealthy, which is what suburban living is. Police, fire departments, and schools are necessities. Zillion-square-foot homes and lawns are not.

Good question: Is OpenBSD more secure than a mainstream Linux distribution, notably Debian, in their default configurations?

The code is less, but there are fewer developers too. For example, basic support for disk encryption (an important security feature) has been added to the installer in 2023 in OpenBSD.

Perhaps people familiar with the software development process in both could chime in.

You have both of these options with BEV+H2, the H2 is just a ranger extender to keep the battery smaller, refueling on the road more convenient and the car's price lower. Renault has already done this for commercial vehicles (Master and Kangoo ZE). Plus I'm sure there will be options with the H2 tank compartment filled by a larger battery for people who prefer the former.

If it's a want rather than a need then you can pay your fair share of what it costs.

I've got no objection to people who want to live a particular lifestyle doing so. But they should pay the costs that it inflicts on the rest of us.
No, I was thinking about amdgpu. amdgpu, the open source driver, since 4-5 years is better than nvidia closed source driver (excluding the cuda vs opencl/rocm debacle ofc).

fglrx has always been a terrible experience indeed, so AMD was no match for nvidia closed source driver.

So, once upon a time (I'd say 2000-2015) the best Linux driver for discrete GPUs was nVidia closed source one. Nowadays it's the amd open source one. Intel has always been good, but doesn't provide the right amount of power.
> We should be clear... in these large organizations... HEAD is always broken.

I don't know about all of them, but a lot of them have CI set up such that HEAD is never broken for some definition of broken.

Practically speaking it's basically impossible to fuzz test everything, but typically builds and reasonably fast and reliable tests are run before HEAD includes new changes.

Being efficient about supporting this workflow is more or less what monorepo build systems like bazel, buck, and pants were designed for.
You can try the dance problem with this prompt prefix

Arithmetic fail kinda makes sense when you look at how the numbers get tokenized. Try this:

Then imagine how well you'd be able to do even basic math if your representation of numbers was such that 2045 is made up of tokens (20,45) while 2145 is (2,145) and 2005 is just (2005). No wonder that whatever relationships it derived from the training corpus don't generalize well.
Most people are using more than one compiler at the same time. For instance, MSVC plus some combination of clang-based tooling for static analysis and/or local dev.

And folks using a full stack of MS tooling are probably using the EDG compiler as an implementation detail for IntelliSense support.

> Templates are a no go for me

It’s pretty hard to get more “this is my opinion rather than a statement of objective fact” than this.

> I do not like JSX. It’s not worth talking about why. It’s not an argument I want to have.

Ok.

Um… well, it’s hard to have a discussion if you won’t talk about it…

…but, “code” templates allow autocomplete and type checking in a way that is an objectively distinctive superset of text templates.

It’s because they are code.

A template is (almost always) a weakly typed DSL. Written, ignoring all the history of language design… by a bunch of folk who don’t really know how to write programming languages. …and, they. Are. Bad. Not always… but often. …because writing a language is hard, and because (reason) you can’t ever use an existing template language. Oh no. This framework has to have its own unique one, because otherwise it doesn’t integrate tightly.

Do you like DSLs? Or do they just hide the complexity somewhere else? What if the DSL is bad, not orthogonal in its feature set, poorly implemented …but cute, and useful for a very very narrow use case.

Isn’t the main critique of react that it hides complexity by moving it from one place to another?

Don’t you think it’s a tiny bit ironic that all the other templates based languages with their custom template DSLs are doing the same thing?

Anyway; I think it’s fair to evaluate template languages as what they are: DSLs.

JavaScript is a better language than most template languages by a variety of metrics. Other languages are better than JavaScript, absolutely… but, never, have I seen a template language that is.

You can love declarative configuration all you want, but it’s very very difficult to argue that just because you can make a mess with procedural approaches that they are worse; because they are a strict superset of what’s possible using the declarative approach.

…so sure. I don’t but “JSX is easier to maintain”, but it’s distinctly superior in capability.
My copy protection was made for a niche high quality Atari ST graphics program that only got sold in very small numbers. The developer (my customer) want to get sure he really get money for every copy.
And I put a lot of effort into randomization of my copy protection detection software. I want get sure nobody developed an automatic cracking program for my copy protection. But I left a easy to find exit point where cracker could easy remove my copy protection detection software. Manually. That worked. Everything can be cracked. But my copy protection got never in deep analysed because I made it really really hard to do it.

One of my worst ones was a compiler bug for a PLC which would cause a floating point operation that underflowed to become NaN instead of 0.0 (which is very common if you are writing set-point tracking code!) and then throw out the loop, so the controller would reach set point and then slowly start drifting as is accumulated error, but only for the rest of the "line"* of that code. So if you split your calculations across multiple lines then you were fine, but if you tried to group your operations sensibly then it no linger worked.

PLCs do the loop for you, you only write the body

*it was some bastardised version of ladder logic (itself a bastard representation of code) with functional blocks, so "line" = rung. I no longer work with PLCs.

React isn’t moving fast. React server components were announced two years ago and are still not available.

That said, as a low-level library it should not move fast; it should make sound design decisions while maintaining compatibility. It’s completely open to frameworks with more opinions and friendlier DX to be built on top of it.
I tried making this reflective UI
Have you ever seen a website with a reflective user interface?

Recently, I decided to take on the challenge of creating a reflective UI using only these three technologies. And after some experimentation and tweaking, I'm happy to share my results with you all.

The performance "disadvantage" of react (compared to what? SolidJS? handcrafted JS? some WASM thing?) is so small a user won't notice it in most apps in most places even if you don't actually optimize things.

Then indeed, abstractions a team can agree on matter more. Getting state management right matters. Hiring people and getting them productive quickly matters. Those are strong points in favor of React and even Angular, to an increasing degree for Vue, Svelte and others.

Simulations of Stochastic Parrots
Many years ago I was working on a device driver for a position sensor. After deployment the customer complained that every time they started another process on the monitoring machine where the driver was installed the position sensor readings registered a slight movement of the object the position sensor was attached to. The object was about 20m away from the monitoring machine and weighed many tons (20?). After hearing the report I remarked that it looked like the first ever documented case of telekinesis. They were not amused.
After a cross-continent trip to the customer site to instrument everything it turned out that due to the physics of the sensor (ultrasound waves traveling in a metal rod, reflecting from a magnet) the exact reading was slightly sensitive to the time elapsed from the previous reading, which in turn depended on the CPU load on the host machine. I fixed that in the driver by making sure the probing of the sensor happened in fixed time intervals, independent of the sensor reading frequency from the user space.
I'm a little confused by this thread - it seems like you suggest that the drone should be controlled by the SBC in an effects pedal, that the guitarist is using to provide low-latency audio processing? As a techie and perpetual-intermediate musician, that seems a bit odd...

But, incidentally, at my day job I'm working on an embedded Linux system where audio latency matters, and which may well wind up with a WiFi radio (where latency probably doesn't matter so much). So, I'd like to understand issues in this space.

So, not like the "slightly intelligent home" is a term of art or anything like that, but what the author means is simply that he doesn't have as much home automation as some other folks, good for him, but perhaps a nicer kind of slightly intelligent home would be one where no matter how much home automation you have, everything gracefully degrades or is invisible to the inhabitants, e.g. you still have physical switches, your lights do not suddenly all switch on after power loss, you can still get in the house if your Raspberry Pi dies, if you're tired of an automation you can easily rip it out, etc.
That still means you have 3 different types of entities.

One where the event originates (knobs), one where it will gets translated into actual UX effects (DOM updates, API fetches, whatever, lets call these servos and gauges), and one place where the business logic lives that transforms between the low-voltage input signal and the high-voltage output driver power.

Without that transducer you have incompatible things.

Yes, many times this is a trivial thing, and that's usually when it can be done internally to the component.

On the other hand Germany has gone from about zero to 50% renewables while spearheading the renewable market. Sure, personally I would prefer if they had closed fossil generation before nuclear, but Fukushima threw a wrench in that plan.

To not utilize the fruits of Germany's efforts today would be insane. We are making decisions 2023, not 2005.

Yes. And if you give it a database schema, it can answer free-form questions about the data in it by generating SQL queries, so long as you wire up the results (or just manually copy/paste them). Although it does hallucinate fields in tables sometimes - but if your wiring reports errors in a readable way, it will usually self-correct.

I think the most interesting potential development of this concept would be to give it the ability to spawn child instances to process subtasks (such that each subtask gets its own token window!) and produce intermediate results that it would that combine. It can be done manually (copy/paste) with a lot of handholding; the trick is to come up with a way to automate it, such that it's clear which part of the output is a request to spawn a submodel + its prompt, and the result is also communicated in some way that's clear to the model.
There is no description of what is done on this site, I browsed it on PC and I don't know how procedure works. I dont want to send any SMS before reading instruction - for a suspicious user it looks like scam...
But at a grid scale we don't need a single installation to provide continuous power and it wouldn't necessarily make sense for it to do so. Load is not uniform across the day and other sources may be cheaper at any particular moment.
I have the same issue. I have to reboot it like once a month. Although it seems to affect every app and not just Netflix for me.
Agree, but with the caveat that the prices might not come down at all. But still I think that's ok. What will come down are the interest rates, and right now you can make 5+% risk-free on savings, so it makes sense to keep renting and saving.
