Any good books on ECS?

Could it also be used to bridge a BT keyboard to USB for the semi-rare cases where having a wired keyboard is necessary (BIOS access, boot loader, login screen etc.)? I expected this type of product to exist, but couldn't really find a

OP is just saying that before iPhone/iOS was announced in 2007, there was an effort to build Android, but it was something that resembled Blackberries. After the iPhone was announced, there was a big project reset, which shifted Androi

Fair enough, thanks. I don't think there's a pressing/mainstream ask that justifies the maintenance burden that I imagine this would cause. I've seen people mentioning sparingly that they'd like to use Bevy for Xbox

Thanks for all the good work on Bevy. Any plans to extract the core ECS functionality out of bevy_ECS and create a bevy_core or something along those lines with no_std (alloc is fine) support, so we can use it to target some console platfor

Some folks on YouTube have it running on laptops running FreeDOS. It’s not perfect, but many games seem to work.

20+ hours playing games with audio support on a VM? I’d love to see that kind of performance on, say, the GPD Win 4, but it sounds exaggerated. Where could I find this?

What you're saying is, frankly, very naive. If you think critically, you must realize the cognitive bias here. There's something like 2 million people riding the MTA every day and they statistically hardly ever have problems as ex

DOS emulation is not a very battery-efficient way to play '88-98 games on the go, so projects like these seem to cater to that specific need, letting people run DOS natively. The Toshiba Libretto was a nice, small machine, but finding

This may seem counter-intuitive, but model architecture is not the most significant differentiator in LLMs. Not publishing creates negative externalities around collaboration, recruiting etc. and any research organization worth their salt k

I get it that ergonomics is a big deal to folks, but every laptop will have its downsides. I find that people place way too much importance on the lack of physical trackpad buttons. The alternative is the XPS 13 Plus, which has not only cap

Nor HoloLens (team laid off), or SPOT watches, or the Band etc. Survivor bias indeed.

Of course! What I meant was that in some cases composition is a more flexible approach to representing a complex (business) model than inheritance, from object oriented programming. Rust has a nice (IMO, ergonomic) way of representing compo

Rust has a nice implementation of discriminated unions/algebraic data types, which makes it easy to write the business logic with composability over inheritance. Which lang does that well with also pattern matching, non-nullability, ex

I’ve had Mitsubishi heat pumps in a condo in the northeast for 3 years and they’ve worked great. No other heating sources here. I keep them on all day, which the mfgt discourages. My main gripe was their kumo cloud and Wi-Fi connectivity bu

My thought process is that Rust's memory model not only has a positive impact on security, but on program correctness all up. This means fewer lock ups, better performance, resource utilization etc. without so much effort from the deve

Microsoft's insistence on reusing the bing brand and website is baffling to me. No one wants to use that shit, but in classical Microsoft fashion, they're too attached to old decisions. What a missed opportunity to do like they di

Easiest way to spot lazy journalism is the mandatory empty criticism to the ‘dreadful’ Sony menu system. Sure, the original one had flaws, but the new one leaves very little to be desired relative to the modern Nikon and Canon alternatives.

So the Supreme Court judges are corrupt because they pointed to problems in the process that warranted a mistrial, ultimately favoring the candidate you don’t like. But the lower court judges are guaranteed to be neutral because they convic
