The first part of this article, the Apple is enforcing X rule in Y situation part, is pretty interesting. Then it veers into crazy town by claiming that the software versioning and static release model is dead.

No, XL had official releases on Windows and Mac.

The trackpads on the Steamdeck/SC2 are much better than the SC1.

Valve was forced to stop manufacturing the SC1 due to patent trolling related to the paddles.

We’ll also be experimenting with reduced pod sizes, including one person teams with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role.

Six months from now: Why does this financial app feel like it is six different amature solo projects bolted together?

The new law basically says “We don’t care where the user appears to be from, you have to assume they are from Utah”. Blocking Utah doesn’t help.

He wasn’t tricked into kneecapping her campaign. Her campaign was being kneecapped by ratfuckery and he was trying to soften it.

Republicans handed something to the FBI that would force them to reopen the case, knowing that it wouldn’t show anything new, just so that they could then wail about the FBI keeping it quiet to help Clinton.

You are thinking of analog triggers, which work fine over Bluetooth. Adaptive triggers is game-controlled resistance and feedback within the trigger. A rifle trigger, for example, is light at first, then when you get close to the firing point it gets heavy for a moment and then ‘breaks’, suddenly going all the way.

This works on PC if you plug in via USB, but very few games support it on PC and Stam Input breaks it.

Haptics are high-quality rumble. Rumble is basically just turning a motor on and off, often in a high and a low mode. Modern controllers drive vibration motors at varying levels using a sound signal, giving far more nuanced control. They often also have more motors that are independently controlled. This also works when plugged in via USB.

the primary giveaway that this is modern is the texture filtering on the checkerboard plane. OG renderers handled high-frequency detail really poorly, showing whatever color the sampler happened to hit. Modern renderers blend them to an average, grey in this case.

It’s not a different screen in SMB1. After you hit the axe, Mario walks to the right and the screen scrolls until the castle is off screen, revealing Peach and the ending text. It’s functionally just part of the level.

Blahaj has the same color scheme as the trans flag and is cute.

Aren’t the main characters of the short story

It seemed to me that they were the enemy the conquerers are scared of. The huge mystery that the first book ended with appeared to be resolved right there.

I’m reading Inhibitor Phase by Alastair Reynolds. Nearly done with the series. I’m enjoying how the books jump around in time, space, and genre while all living in a basic rule space. Kind of like a less scattered Cosmere.

Loved the first book, but the short story that came out after it made me mad. I really hope it didn’t spoil the identity of the great enemy.

I have the Libra 2 and love it. Nice thumb rail with page-turning buttons. Doesn’t need jailbreaking to install KOReader or do whatever else I want.

Both Mistborn ages are really tight, making them easy reads. Intriguing magic, moving story, great characters.

Stormlight has all the same elements, but it lets every character have their own storyline. It’s sprawling. It lets you see more sides of it.

Earthsea is beautiful. There aren’t very many books, and they were written across 50ish years. They evolved with the genre, allowing readers a clear window into how we got to the modern works of Jordan, Sanderson, etc.

The claim that they are doing a clean-room implementation is bullshit. The only way any of these models are able to make any working code is by being trained on every bit of code that could be scraped from the internet. Unless the project you are cloning was released after the model was trained, it was trained on the code. It may be a tiny fragment of the training data, but it still saw it.

My situation was abnormal since I was running the procurement for food service at a zoo, so those photos were from my warehouse. It lets me joke about a level of organization basically no restaurant can have.

We’d have to run a BIB across the park when someone forgot to ask for it the night before, so not everything was paradise.

Nope. They were floating in the ketchup instead of being embedded in the wall of the bag.

You gotta keep 'em organized!

For a few years, I kept them on a shelf at head height. That was a mistake that I let go on too long.
