The government in Australia literally had to take Valve to court to make them honour software warranties.

In response, Valve seems to have had a tantrum and won't release things like the Steam Deck here. I guess they're afraid they might need to honour the warranty for those too. ;)
Did anyone bring the case? If nobody does or nobody complains to the state then it won’t happen
There are signs of a decline in people asking and answering questions on sites like stack exchange: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/387278/has-stack-ex...

So I hope you're right, but the evidence is currently that you're wrong. Let's see how it plays out, I suppose.
It has only been 6 years!? It has felt like a bed rock of Linux gaming in almost forever.

I cannot tell you the last time I have come across something that doesn't work via Proton.

It is one of the many crown jewels of Valve.

EDIT - ’From dust’ released in 2009 still doesn't work but that is due to Ubisofts awful DRM infrastructure.

Original author here from 2020:

With regard to value and cost I would like to add the factor 'time' to the discussion. A watch like this can easily last for decades, possibly longer (and it will retain some value, possibly even appreciate in value, over time).

This is a sharp contrast with 'consumables' like most smartwatches and smartphones, that (given enough time) will add up in costs, too. I am not saying one should "do this or that" - but value/cost is a funny thing when you think of it in more than one dimension.
During my last vacation I played Fallout 4 on my Kubuntu laptop on max settings and I had zero crashes throughout the complete time. With a Bethesda game, on Linux.

What a time to be alive.
To more or less this what snap, AppImage, flatpak etc tries to solve.

And honestly it works. One part of Steam Deck's success that it was entirely built on an immutable flatpak based distro (Arch)

> The in-place version of swap is generally discouraged because compilers are smart

Isn’t that more because CPUs slow down when there are dependencies between instructions?

Compilers could (and may even do) fairly easily detect that pattern (like they do with some versions of popcnt. See for example https://langdev.stackexchange.com/questions/3942/what-are-th..., discussed here in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40987123) and compile it to whatever is fastest on the target CPU/in the given context (in some contexts, it can be compiled to nothing, just changing the mapping between local variables and the registers they’re stored in)
That offer to refresh always seemed a bit strange to me.

It's like Microsoft acknowledging the crust in the registry and offering their own CCleaner. A lot of activity, dubious work actually being done.

Perhaps the effect of profile lifecycles should be addressed if some hand-wavy refresh process may be required and instituted by the application.

Said another way, that's a concern for the program. Not me. This shouldn't amount to wiping the profile/extensions
Those don’t conform to the authors requirements.

The reason he landed on that design is pretty well detailed in the article too.
Hi,

The best advice I can give is do not go for the money. I fell for it, and all it gave me was unhappiness and stress. I used to earn about 11k a month doing technical work for an American big tech company. It was not worth it. I earn not even half now, but I can smile again and enjoy my life.

That being said, it's really a simple equation and there's a few options.

The lottery way:
Try to join a promising startup, or start one yourself. Maybe you will hit it big and have a nice early retirement. This is kind of rare though, despite the lots of news of succesful founders. most people find themselves working shit-tons of hours for average rewards.

The American way:
In america, the tech budget is trillions, rather than billions or millions. This due to the large number of HUGE companies there. You can get a regular job for one of them, get stocks from them and do fairly regular working hours. Your pay will be much larger than anywhere else in the world in a general case, as they simply have much more budget to spend to find those high quality engineers.

This does require a certain level of skill, so be dilligent in your learning, buy books, try and understand the domain you are working in fully and be open to learning new things all the time and elevate yourself. You can make a killing (as per most peoples standards) working even fairly simple tech support jobs in the cybersecurity sphere for example.

Some notable companies in that area: Palo Alto Networks, SentinelOne. Their start salary for techsupport on their products is fairly big.
(I say the American way, because it's my experience, but in essence, this tells you, certain countries might pay more than others in general - Germany is also pretty good, but there you need a degree to fill certain roles. America is more tuned to you having skills rather than papers in my experience).

I did not work _in_ America. just for a company there. It litterally trippled my pay overnight. (and quadruppeled my stress.) It was good for a few years, but i dropped out for a better balance.

My experience in general is: more money == more stress. Chose what fits your lifestyle and mental capacity wisely. Burnout is not a game. I've seen people drop off and never go back to fully working or enjoying life due to severely stress related issues. - Take care of yourself, and beyond that, go for what feels good :)
normally there is an instruction for this called blend (since SSE4.1).

There shouldn't be a need to do any bitwise magic.
As I understand it:

- The base movement turns the date wheel every day at (or, typically, just before) midnight via the 31 teeth on that wheel.

- The single tooth on the date wheel drives the five-pointed cog. I gather that this must turn the month wheel two teeth—probably one tooth when changing from 30th to 31st and a second tooth when changing from 31st to 1st, though I do not see exactly how this works. (It looks like the date wheel finger would only turn the small cog one tooth per month, and the small teeth on that cog look like they would only interact with the longer teeth on the month cog.) On short months the long teeth on the month wheel are in turn are nudged by the second, shorter finger on the hour collar at about 3am on the 1st (while the date wheel is still showing 31), which causes the month wheel to advance the second tooth almost a day early, and this must cause the five-pointed cog to nudge the date wheel to advance from the 31st to the 1st (though again I am not sure exactly how that works).

- The long finger on the hour collar turns the day-of-week disk 1/14th turn at 6am and 6pm, resulting in that wheel making a complete turn every 7 days. Thanks to the long dash of colour on this wheel, one dot is shown 6am–6pm while two dots are shown 6pm–6am.

Watchfinder made a pretty good video about it, though slightly hampered by the owner of this particular watch having chosen just about the lowest-possible contrast colours for the indicator dots: https://youtu.be/28LYcZJ6hHE
Valve's work is the single killer contribution for Linux gaming (even though there are still many games not running under Proton which is why running Win on SteamDeck is a thing) but let's not forget to mention Wine on which it is based and which had been running regular (non-DirectX/Y/Z) win32 apps surprisingly/shockingly well for like 20 years.

>we love the Iranian people and culture.

Total nonsense. The USA's criminal sanctions regime has only hurt the Iranian people, not its theocracy.
It can be read the opposite way: "don't reinvent wheels unless/until they're essential to your goal". Selling physical stuff? Perhaps the exact configuration for the eshop's nginx is not essential (yet). Making subscription-based software? Perhaps the exact method of recurrent billing in Latvia is not essential (yet).

There's massive infrastructure to help with anything (for a fee), so that you don't have to do EVERYTHING yourself. If things work out well, a service might become a bottleneck, but until then, you can focus on your core feature. (And of course, "massive" also means "bureaucracy," which opens the opportunity to do Some Thing your way, faster, better, and perhaps with a profit.)

Yes. This would be caught by the compiler in C, C++, Java, Rust, Haskell, etc.: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1517582/what-is-the-diff...

Many statically typed languages do have escape hatches to do some dynamic typing at runtime, but this is not the default (hence the classification), and it requires some additional effort to use.

for the record. i did this without any certifications in cyber nor computing, nor any education. skills and knowlege will take you the way. And those can be gained in any way that fits you personally. They might make it easier to land an interview, but having actual skills will get you through the interview successfully. Everyone has subtle preferences of their own in learning things.

It's good to have something on the side that can 'prove' your skills. like a blog or a github with some public recent 'work'. (this does not need to be superhero stuff, just a proof that you do anything relevant.)
Your second quote is the same as the first one. Did you copy the same one twice by accident?
Those people seem to have a passion for developing package managers (instead of just seeing it as a tool that needs to do the job), and as long as it is the case, I don't see how we wouldn't end up with one new package manager every year.
Plastic is chemically inert which should raise the threshold quite significantly. The question that needs to be answered is "What does/would acute plastic poisoning even look like?" I am by no means an expert, but I wouldn't be surprised if mechanically it could lead to increased clotting for the same reason sediment clogs pipes.

Even if it requires 'macroplastics' concentrations to cause problems, inert still doesn't mean harmless. One example which comes to mind is that senescent cells are 'inert' compared to cancer cells and they appear to be responsible for /have a role in aging's damage to tissues.
The description here isn't about using LLM hallucinations as code. It's using them as example API users and seeing what they get stuck on.

Let's say you've got some rest API. Are they trying to send PATCH requests but you only support POST? Do they keep trying to add pagination or look for a cursor? Do they expect /things to return everything and /things/id to return a single one but you have /things and /thing/1 ?

None of this is to say you must do whatever they are trying to do but it's a very cheap way of seeing what introducing your API/library to a new user might be like. And, moreover, you can only ever introduce someone once but you can go again and again with a LLM. Review the things they're doing and see if actually you've deviated from broad principles and if a change/new endpoint actually would make things much easier.

Fundamentally you can break this down to "if there's someone who can do some coding but isn't a top class programmer, how much do I need to explain it to them before they can solve a particular problem?"
> heads up, that term is more considered offensive

The passive voice thing always gets me here. It omits who is doing the considering. It's not like some word suddenly is offensive. A small group of people decides the word is offensive and then they either succeed or not at dragging everyone else along with them.

"Is considered offensive" lends it a gravity that it doesn't deserve if you translate it: "some people whose opinions you may or may not value consider xyz offensive".
Agreed, I don’t know why people are so down on ai as a coding assistant here. I concur with everything you said, and will add that now I also have a service that will produce, on-demand, the exact documentation that I need at the exact level of abstraction, and then I can interrogate it at will. These things are huge time savers.
I would suggest adding a help section with advice for people using ChatGPT that sets expectations and also gives a pre-written prompt for them to use.

Something like.

Some of you may use ChatGPT/Copilot to help with your coding. Please understand this service is designed for professional programmers and we cannot provide extensive support for basic coding issues, or code your app for you.

However if you do want to use ChatGPT here is a useful starting prompt to help prevent hallucinations - though they still could happen.

Prompt:

I need you to generate code in ____ language using only the endpoints described below

[describe the endpoints and include all your docs]

Do not use any additional variables or endpoints. Only use these exactly as described. Do not create any new endpoints or assume any other variables exist. This is very important.

Then give it some examples in in curl / fetch / axios / python / etc.

Maybe also add some instructions to separate out code into multiple files / endpoints. ChatGPT loves to make one humungous file that’s really hard to debug.

ChatGPT works fairly well if you know how to use it correctly. I would defo not trust it with my crypto though, but I guess if some people wanna that’s up to them. May as well try and help them!
Ohh, that's a good point. I wonder how tightly they pack.

last comment:
advice i got from a very professional and good guy who helped me in my early days.

structure your learning. He was a pentester and did it along the lines of:
I am learning windows priv-esc now.
I am learning linux priv-esc now.
I am learning sqli now
I am learning XSS now.

Then go over all the topics you wanna learn, becomming expert in them one-by-one. It can be a mess of 1000 things at once. Take lots of notes, save stuff for later, and focus on certain areas one by one.
> It would make sense for most people to coalesce around that single target

No it wouldn't. Even the OpenSSH project has states that they'd prefer that more SSH implementation where around, due to security concerns. Bugs in OpenSSL where/are a serious issue, because of it was almost a monopoly until HeartBleed.

Having a single rendering engine be 95% of the market is not a good option in terms of overall security for the internet.

The rendering engine in Chrome is Blink, which is a fork of WebKit. Safari, GNOME Web and DuckDuckGos macOS browser still uses WebKit. Blink and WebKit is going to share some of the same issues, as they come from the same codebase, but they are two separate rendering engines at this point.

SD 1.5 was not censored. Later version were trained with the the censored data. A side of that was bad anatomy. Search for stable diffusion woman lying on grass. I think this was SD3. It generates monstrosities when you ask for a woman on grass.

I liked ideogram's approach. It looked like their training data was not censored as much (it still didn't render privates). The generated images are checked are tested for nudity before presenting to user, if found, image is replaced by a placeholder.

If you check SD reddit, community seems to have jumped ship to flux. It has great prompt adherence. You don't have to employ silly tricks to get what you want. Ideogram also has amazing prompt adherence.

> ATMs were meant to kill banking jobs but ah theres more jobs in banking than ever.

US banks, who are surprisingly behind the times in as far as automation goes. Here a lot of banks used a lot of automation to reduce the amount of manual jobs needed. to the degree that many offices are now also closing as everything can be done online.

And no, there is no need to visit banks here as I get the impression it is in the US. We don't even have physical checks anymore.
DNS is a kind of content. You seem to be quibbling over semantic technicalities.
Seems reasonable. App authors would’ve been “discovering” vulnerabilities in their own apps and asking Google to pay for them.
The red herring principle[1] is unfortunately popular enough in mathematical terminology to have a name and a page about it.

Roughly, a fooish bar will frequently be something like a bar except fooish, so not actually a bar. (Algebraic integer, multivalued function, manifold with boundary, etc.) On the other hand, a nonfooish baz when baz is normally fooish often means a not necessarily fooish baz, so a particular one might be fooish but we can’t assume that. (Noncommutative ring, nonassociative algebra, the very field of noncommutative geometry, etc.)

I get the point you're trying to make, but I'm fairly sure you don't normally get this offended at punctuation, you're playing it up to prove a point. Quoth the Wiki:

>When one becomes frustrated with the way a policy or guideline is being applied, it may be tempting to try to discredit the rule or interpretation thereof by, in one's view, applying it consistently. Sometimes, this is done simply to prove a point in a local dispute. In other cases, one might try to enforce a rule in a generally unpopular way, with the aim of getting it changed.

You're trying to apply prescriptivism consistently to the point of absurdity. In turn this causes you to reply to people who hold genuine views with a bad faith exaggerated offense at punctuation, just so you can illustrate your point, and that turns a genuine discussion into a something much less interesting.

In wiki culture, they call this POINT-y behavior: Taking rules too far in bad faith just to prove a point. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:POINT)

TL;DR: Please don't do that, it makes the discussion very annoying!
Arch and Debian based systems aren't further than RPM based distros, whatever they use in SUSE or Nix(OS). Stay factual
As I often repeat in these threads, Proton was an amazing leap. Once it released, it took probably two years for me to boot Windows again, and it's only been getting better. Now I'm already used to assuming games will just work on my Linux machine, including new major titles. Age of Empires 4 and Baldur's Gate 3 just worked.

In broader terms, Proton is also a valuable lesson in how much the "last 10%" integration of software matters. Proton isn't developed from scratch by Valve, most of it is non-Valve code. Proton base is Wine plus DXVK plus gstreamer, but it's Valve's integration of those that allows the dramatic leap from "if you're a power user, you may get the game to work after lots of tinkering" to "just enable Proton for this game and click play".
For those using Windows games from GOG or other none-steam supports, I recommend Lutris, it requires a little more setup, but after the initial groking you can have a library as nice as Steam and with a lot more manual settings and support for other platforms or emulators.

A nice trick with Lutris is to create 2 initial prefixes for wine 32 and 64 bits and then to duplicate them in the library for each game. Only the lauch settings will be different but you get all games installed in 2 wine instances.
And that's not right, because labeling them as "bad" and calling them "disorders" stigmatizes those who suffer from it.
Good for you if you have a server-sized "laptop". (With the attendant heat and noise issues.)

Not something I would ever own myself, though, so don't generalize.

P.S. The issue is compiling and running all this stuff. Just doing a 'git clone' and nothing else isn't developing.
I think there's been some concern that people compare the speed of Firefox with a bunch of random extensions against Chrome with none. I wonder if the 'refresh' is an attempt to get away from that at the point where someone might be giving Firefox another chance.

I don't remember if the refresh offer appeared back in the xul days, when there was much more scope for extensions to hurt the experience.
They've cracked down on skin gambling as far as the media is concerned. But it was a real issue with CS:GO for awhile, since you could cash in and out through external services.
AFAIK Arch is neither flatpack-based nor immutable by default, that's just how valve configured it, or am I missing something since I've used it a few years ago ?

Still nicely done on valve's part.
I feel like we'll eventually all agree that it's a mistake to ask a generalist LLM for code. I've found ChatGPT to be fine at talking about code - like describing the difference between two APIs - but for generating nontrivial chunks of working code I think it's miles behind Copilot and similar.

And I assume that's just because, y'know, ChatGPT can write sonnets and translate Korean to Swahili and whatnot. It's amazingly broad, but it's not the right tool for the comparatively narrow problem of code generation.
