The Democrats will find a way to completely mess up this opportunity.

Linux don’t need anything to challenge Windows. Windows is doing great on their own.

No idea, but probably Ubuntu ~15 years ago

If you haven’t logged in to your WhatsApp through any third party applications you should be fine.

it’s the kind of dependency developers install without a second thought

I got a feeling this is an attack vector that will continue to grow, as now there’s vibe coding frameworks installing random dependencies without a thought at all.

Why bundle HL3 as launch title? Feels a bit too much to develop the most memed game ever + trying to figure out the logistics of 3 new hardware products at the same time. People won’t exactly rush to buy Steam Machine for HL3 if they already have a decent PC.

From the FAQ:

Statcounter is a web analytics service. Our tracking code is installed on more than 1.5 million sites globally. These sites cover various activities and geographic locations. Every month, we record billions of page views to these sites. For each page view, we analyse the browser/operating system/screen resolution used and we establish if the page view is from a mobile device.

So yeah, they’re basing of browser user agents.

Can it be fingerprint spoofers skewing the results? In that case the data is worthless.

Not necessarily closures, but it involved many dynamically generated lists of lambdas passed around through many layers of abstraction.

True. However, in this case I believe this guy just had a weird admiration for complexity.

In my project there has been this guy who produced more lines of code than most other. All of his code is a terribly convoluted mess no one can work with. Also buggy and slow as hell. It’s been many years since he left the company, and the negative effects are still seen today.

Luckily we’ve been able to detach ourselves from the worst parts.

My app version is up to date. Tried it a few months ago. Still black screen whenever I try to share the entire screen. Individual windows work fine. None of my coworkers have managed to make it work in Wayland.

It worked a few years ago with some workaround, but Slack patched out that workaround.

Not any more difficult than doing a fresh Windows install.

Wayland is fantastic, as long you don’t need to do screen sharing in Slack. Only thing hindering me going Wayland on my work laptop.

”Quest 3 without Meta” is what I’ve been dreaming about. I feel like Steam Frame could be my entry to the VR space, if the price is decent.

From what I understand the Steam Machine performance is somewhere between Series S and Series X. I don’t think it will cost more than a Series X.

Maybe 600.

In that case it must also have different laws of mathematics for it to work.

Well, ”computer” in the mathematical sense is well defined of what it can and cannot do. The limit is the halting problem or equivalent problems.

The question is: is there some equivalent to the halting problem in the real universe? If that’s the case, then there’s no algorithm you can use to describe the entire universe.

Then it’s not an approximation - it’s the reality. The question is whether all things the universe does can also a computer do in theory. If one thing about the universe is uncomputable, then the entire universe is uncomputable.

The paper suggests this thing is quantum gravity. I have my doubts about it, but I’m in no position to refute the paper.
