Because something bad might happen in 30 years is not the reason to make sure it happens in three...

It actually isn't all that different. A lot of modern games are basically a smallish exe and a single giant Assets file that's many many GB, and is some sort of encrypyted (or not) filesystem image.

My experience too. For some reason the Sony servers are terrible. I'm lucky to see 100Mbps speeds, and that's on a gigabit link.

A really good CDN like Steam can absolutely saturate a link like that. I'm on a gigabit line (which actually performs at more like 1.1), and I've seen 120MB/sec download speeds on Steam. With today's games often weightin

Hey, under the keyboard is an advanced technique. In those days it was usually on the monitor.

I was formerly quite anti-AI but bought a cheap Claude plan just to play around with it a bit. First thing I built with it was this - https://github.com/tylereaves/onscreen-piano , in about an hour and maybe 10 prompt c

I always found the polyglot messengers a bit underwhelming - those sorts of programs inevitably end up focusing on the lowest common denominator feature sets.

Source on 'poorly paid'? In the US starting salary for a USPS carrier is $24/hr. FexEx starting pay is $17/hr.

If you're talking about the US, you're glossing over a couple of really important points. The USPS is required to provide universal service. I'm sure providing service to NYC and SF is extremely profitable, and providing se

That's no panacea. I worked for a social service non-profit for years. Yes, some stuff was better, there were still tons of issues.

THat really depends on how you define "the server",doesn't it? The intent of the bill seems to be a thing that actually play that game.

I kinda feel that's like "video game tester". Sounds great from the outside, but I bet he spent 90% of time reading absolute dreck.

A very large percentage of multiplayer games keep the backend in an MS SQL or Oracle cluster.

And how do they force release of all the proprietary dependencies? Overriding contract law is a hell of a lift, and a terrible precedent. The whole "Stop Killing Games" movement is deeply misguided, and most of the people supporti

In what way? I'm not seeing any.

Totally unreputable. That is not a scientific journal. That is some guy (Who's degree is in geophysics ) biog. The article was written by him.

Am I the only one that likes being bald? Hair maintenance has always been a huge drag for me (yea executive dysfunction!) and when I had it I hated it getting in my eyes. I was balding anyway. Started shaving my whole head at the start of C

Many are not, and ma y of the ones in the pipe line, like speed limiters and drunk driver detection are going to be legally mandated to be nondisableable..

That isn't true at all. To attack your specific example, cars have added all kinds of things that "hand hold" the user and keep them (and others) safe: Seat belts, air bags, anti-lock brakes, traction control, automatic emerg

Nearly every package manager I've ever used had post-install scripts. You're collapsing two different threat models. The risk isn't that code runs, it's WHEN it runs. This worm spreads because npm install runs arbitrary

Mechanical was always a dumb name. A collapsing rubber dome is a mechanism anyway.

All of those things would cost a hell of a lot more than $100 unit. Probably closer to doubling the price.

What if, as a very high number do, the server uses something like a proprietary SQL database?

"Manufactured home" probably isn't what you're thinking of. It's what we used to call a mobile home or trailer. They get around a lot of zoning restrictions because they aren't permanent construction.

You're thinking of simcopter maybe, which follwed 2K and was full 3D.

"Defund the police" was such a dumb slogan. "Demilitarize the police" would have been much better.
