It looks extremely expensive piece of hardware. I have to wonder how much profit this made for Namco or the arcades.

It's also a detriment to some extent, as Claude's now believing things that apply only to later generations of the game (doesn't help that those beliefs would apply to the FireRed remake). Also it made Claude try to perform q

autoconf itself doesn't need xz, but in Nixpkgs xz is part of the stdenv, meaning essentially every package has a build-time dependency on xz. For the case of xz not using the upstream-generated configure would probably be doable with

Yocto cross compiles. I don't think Gentoo can do that?

Try following your favourite distro's bug tracker during GCC upgrade. Practically every update breaks some packages, sometimes less, sometimes more (esp. when GCC changes their default flags). Here's one example of workarounds in

Rust compiler upgrades being backwards incompatible has nothing to do whatsoever with keeping userspace ABI compatible. GCC also occassionally breaks compability with the kernel, btw.

Are there other SBCs / SoMs that are as widely used with SD cards though? That's certainly a source of bias.

You can have pipelines trigger child pipelines in gitlab, but usability of them is pretty bad, viewing logs/results of those always needs extra clicking.

I'm not sure if there's a monorepo vs polyrepo difference; just that anything complex is pretty painful in gitlab. YAML "programming" just doesn't scale.

Cross compilation is much less tested so it's not uncommon to have hidden bugs in the package's build system that break cross compilation. Or that developers straight up disregard cross compilation if they're e.g. hand-rollin

Usually as in "most of the time regardless of the game", yes. Seems like a sibling comment explained this already in much more detail: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42082420

Usually the timing rules aren't the same for TAS and RTA, as TAS timing always starts at console power-on while RTA usually when 'new game' is selected from the menu.

Bugs can and will happen, eg. when A depends on B and some developer accidentally makes a change to B that will pass B's tests but only break in A's use case. In monorepo case such bug can be noticed before the broken code hits ma

In my experience this turns to nightmare when (not if, when) there is need to make changes to the libraries and app at the same time. Especially with libraries it's often necessary to create a client for an API at the same time to real

Possibly it's decoding MIB only, which is only 1.080 MHz wide.

No. There is no stable ABI nor API for in-kernel device drivers.

Agreed, and in the wild I've indeed seen rebasing used significantly more often than merges for this purpose.

I've generally found buildroot work pretty well. One common problem causing weird issues however is lots of tools from the host system are used (without any sandboxing). E.g building old releases of buildroot on newer Ubuntu will break

Another "fun" thing is old joysticks and steering wheels that require calibration. This used to be done in the windows control panel such that not every game needs to implement that... However it seems the latest API in fashion th
