Really cool. This reminds me of escape rooms. Since they're a newer thing, a lot of them rely on modern low-cost DIY stuff like this.

What about Jurassic Park 2? Never saw it

Oh, guess Jurassic Park has two programmer main characters if you count the one who knows Unix

7GB could very well be less than a game today. I've got only one commercial game on my Mac, MTW2 at 14GiB, and it's on the older side. But AssaultCube is 80MiB :)

It feels like 1990s movies were the heaviest on computers/gadgets. Jurassic Park has a programmer as a main character, GoldenEye has two.

And it's not because he's cranky or something, he was holding out for something worthy to possibly use instead of C. Turned out to be Rust.

Yeah, people were definitely recommending Wayland in 2021. That's when Ubuntu made it default.

by bigcityslider 2mo ago
Was there some other reason distros switched to Wayland? I've always heard X11 was just not maintained well and had too much tech debt, not so much about the security. From what I remember, Wayland is a thinner layer than X11, basicall

I don't know enough about this to have a favorite, just know the transition was rough. Like one day at work our DE had to get changed because of whatever reasons they couldn't use X anymore, and that affected more things like Chro

You can measure a 3.3ms difference, but whether someone will notice and care is a different thing.

Every time I've been at someone's house with a new (ie post 2005) game console, there's some problem with launching the game. Except for Nintendo, kinda, well even then getting controllers to pair is like herding cats.

Maybe, idk, no horse in this race. My newest console is a GameCube, and my Mac can run approximately 2 games. Just saying there's a delineation between PC and console.

Yeah I saw that a while back, this is how it should be done

Well yeah if you made your router use 2002:1.2.3.4, your ISP advertised 2002:1.2:: on BGP, and the other ISPs agreed your ISP owns that, that would work. They didn't do that, and the spec didn't say to. They did 6to4 instead. I un

Having 1.2.3.4 in v4 doesn't make ::ffff:1.2.3.4 or 2002:1.2.3.4 route to me in v6. It would route to a relay that translates/resends to v4 1.2.3.4, then it reaches my router over v4. Nobody can use that address over pure v6. Ther

If I have 1.2.3.4 in ipv4 world, I want 1.2.3.4 in ipv6 world instead of a random new address. I want another ipv6 host to be able to send dst=1.2.3.4 and have it go directly to my ipv6 host. 6to4 isn't comparable to that, it's fo

Locked down OS and hardware, or not usable for general compute for some other reason. 20 years ago you could have a gaming PC with discs like a console, but again the console was locked down.

by bigcityslider 3mo ago
Doesn't seem blurry to me, Steam Machine is just a PC.
21.
by bigcityslider 3mo ago
A game console is also locked down from the user, usually because the company is selling hardware at a loss, wants to maintain control, and wants to prevent cheating in online games. May also have exclusive games tied to the hardware.

Unsafe Rust makes me think they did this entirely because LLMs are better at Rust than at Zig, but let's see what happens next.

The regular proto-to-python feels fine to me. I quit Google a while ago and have still been using protobufs, and the main things that usually make teammates wary are: 1. No way to load .proto specs at runtime (there are GH issues about this

Same, but the article isn't about JS vs TS, it's a criticism of frameworks.

If AI-generated comments are disallowed, why are AI-generated articles allowed? Seems like they have the same issues.

6to4 or NAT64 isn't the same thing as what all those IPv4+/5/7/8 people want, if that's what you were referring to. You don't actually own the IPv4-mapped-V6 address, as in packets don't get routed to you,

That IPv8 draft has stuff like oauth in it that don't make sense. I put together an IPv5 proposal based on all the old ones. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48781622

by bigcityslider 3mo ago
V5 would depend on IPv6 packet parsing to work, but the reason some are avoiding v6 now is really everything else about it, which v5 avoids. Agree about the rest. Also I did have a note about 6to4 in there but had to remove it due to char l

For the same reason they haven't already switched from v4 to v6. It's too much setup in some cases.
