Agreed - Bazzite is the kind of set-and-forget level of quality I expect for a gaming appliance. I haven’t needed to twiddle with a single setting to get any games I’ve been playing (Stalker 2, Kingdom Come 2, Doom The Dark Ages, Arc Raider

Is this actually true? Maybe in sales and marketing. Maybe for “leadership” roles. But outside of that? Idk. I wouldn’t rule out a candidate for not having a LinkedIn. Maybe I’m underestimating how many recruiters do use that as a pass&#x2F

Do any cloud hosting providers make io_uring available? Or are they all blocking it due to perceived security risks? I think I have a killer use case and would love to experiment - but it’s unclear who even makes this available.

This is super cool. I’ve been kicking around an idea for ages regarding tile-based routing that I think would be excellent for offline routing. You could leverage the quadtree aspect of tiling to encapsulate faster, direct routes (ie highwa

We do the same thing. The core of our service is ingesting data and applying transformations to it. There’s so many permutations and complex interactions in here that the only way to ensure a refactor hasn’t broken one of these interactions

Is there something with the Claude code plugin for JB IDEs you don’t like? Is there something the VSCode Claude Code plugin does better?

I remain quite skeptical of that. Maybe on a purpose built overclocking rig :^)

I rocked my Haswell i5 until last year when I built a brand new machine around the 9800x3d. Along the way I upgraded it from 8gb of ram to 32gb, got a gen 1 pcie3 NVME, and went through successive hand-me-down GPUs starting from a GeForce 7

I’m sure there are a plethora of technical reasons it’s impractical - but my dream is a big, unified L3 cache across their CCD chiplets. Maybe 256mb in size for the x950 x3d chips.

Just curious - what do you think the current best git platforms are?

FWIW - the fans on my 4070ti super turn off during idle in pop, bazzite, and cachy (just like on windows). Definitely no being stuck at 30% that I’ve experienced

Minor nit but I noticed at the bottom the text reads “Start free tiral”. Maybe a dance-themed joke that went over my head? But probably intended to be “trial” :^)

Yeah I’m definitely not going to pay a subscription for a dashcam so that some company can profit off my data. This does however sound like it could be amazing if it benefited OSM instead. One of my biggest gripes with retail dashcams is th

Cable was like $80/mo for me and the vast majority of the channels was absolute garbage. Now I pay like 25/mo and swap services every month or two. There’s always something new and interesting to watch - for my relatively minimal

What is the value of the social network? I discover code by looking for a package in my language via a search engine. Whether it’s GitHub/GitLab/Gittea/etc doesn’t matter as long as it’s indexed by the search engine.

That’s a bummer to hear. I last used GitLab in 2021 and quite enjoyed it then. Although it does make sense - GitLabs former CTO/CPO now works at OpenAI as their CRO. That kind of shift doesn’t happen in a vacuum. I worked with this per

I wish GH had issues only every 2 years. That’d be amazing! We see issues weekly - if not near daily - at work. Personally I advocate for self-hosted GitLab. I like their pipelines a lot more than GH Actions too.

I do the same thing on canoe/rafting trips as well. Load my metal cook pot full of sand and stick it on the edge of the fire once we’ve finished dinner. Keeping it under the tent fly is enough to keep things a little more toasty all ni

Sand batteries are pretty well known in the passive solar greenhouse world. Even in cold northern climates they’ve been proven to store enough heat for year round use to keep tropical fruits producing.

The ads are just a symptom. The tsunami of money pouring in was the corrosive force. Funny enough - I remain hopeful on AI as a skill multiplier. I think that’ll be hugely empowering for the real doers with the concrete skill sets to create

The less average people are inconvenienced, the less urgency there is to tackle harder problems. This is a nation that seems to only be able to kick the can down the road.

I agree that a cheap MacBook and the steam machine are presenting a perfect storm situation for windows to lose some serious marketshare with casual/consumer users. Itll be interesting to see how or even if Microsoft reacts to this.

I would posit that we are in the current political situation precisely because we do not hold the capital class accountable. Do you sincerely believe that investors losing their investment is a “very extreme” response to gross corporate law

Just nationalize the company. Make shareholders fear this so much that they keep executives in check.
