I often find that Linux native games (Dota is one such) run worse than Windows games running under Proton. For many of them, you can just force it to play via Proton and go along with your day, but the Valve competitive ones don’t work that

I'm never going back. If something changes and the only option is Windows or consoles I'll just stop buying new games or take up another hobby. Being able to use sane scripting to solve problems, ZFS snapshots to undo bad mod inst

I'd suggest Clojure simply because of the JVM. The JVM is unjustly maligned, and I will defend it to anyone at any time. Having access to the huge Java JAR ecosystem for integrations and libraries is a game changer compared to CL. As f

Both Anthropic and OpenAI have something like this now and neither bothered to implement a delete feature. Google’s version Jules has one.

I miss when gaming in general was less mainstream and more weird like this. Now the silicon manufacturers hate that they even have to sell us their scraps, let alone spend time on making unique designs for their boxes. I bought a small pres

Yeah I definitely hated Subversion, which helped push me to try Git back in the day. Actually, back then I was an `hg` guy. That battle was lost long ago though. I think you linked to the same post as OP, though?

I just don't have enough pain points with Git to move to something new. I don't have a problem remembering the ~5 commands I need most on any given workday. Between stashes, branches, temporary commits I later rebase, and recently

Xbox streaming uses Xbox Series X hardware in server blades. That hardware hasn't changed since the XSX released.

I work with the engineer behind this (different team, but we interact semi-often and work on overlapping projects), but had no idea it was him until I looked at the little copyright notice in the footer. He is a fascinating guy and a fantas

As I understand it, GeForce Now actually does require changes to the game to run in the standard and until recently only option of "Ready To Play". This is the supposed reason that new updates to games sometimes take time to get r

I wish I could put it in the sidebar like every other flavor of AI plugin.

I wonder if they'll drop support for ChromeOS Flex, their install-it-on-whatever version. Would be kind of interesting to have a semi-official Android for various x86 machines I have lying around.

This is extremely common. There's a vanishingly small number of games that officially support the Steam Deck that do NOT unofficially run on any given Linux box. That small number seems to be exclusively gacha games. A number of those

So much AI propaganda, like this article, is both AI slop itself while being so weirdly aggressive. You could say that propaganda authors had more taste back in my day.

I just use ZFS. Canonical ships it and that's good enough for me on my personal machines.

Took the plunge 2.5 years ago. I'm more likely to give up gaming than move back to windows at this point. It's so pleasant to be able to use the same reasonable tools I use for development to customize my environment for gaming. F

I'm convinced it is as well. It also stops these very popular games from running on Linux which is finally mounting a concerted push into PC gaming thanks to Valve.

The solution existed starting in the late 90s through the early 2010s. You have a server browser with community run servers who are administered by people who play on the server. Admins notice cheating, the cheater gets banned. You find a s

Could be! Depends if MS starts putting some more money behind it, including marketing. They're pretty deep in an AI-everything spiral right now though. I'm a Clojure guy, but the ML family (specifically OCaml and F#) have always i

I'd suggest going straight to the source and reading through Antiqua et nova direct from the Vatican [1]. I think it's a very well written document about the subject and very clear. Pope Leo has mentioned AI often since his electi

I'm an experienced engineer who is AI skeptical overall. I've continued to try these tools as they evolved. Sometimes they're neat, oftentimes they fail spectacularly and sometimes they fail in very pernicious ways. If it kee

Again, you're assuming they are required to be successful and those who don't use them won't be. That is precisely what is up for debate right now so you're just begging the question while belittling any opposition (imag

It assumes the result though. These comments presuppose that LLMs are universally good and useful and positive when that is the very argument that is being debated, and then uses the presupposition to belittle the other side of the debate.

Why is this line of thinking so common with AI folk? Is it just inconceivable to you that other people have different experiences with a technology that has only become widespread in the past couple years and that by its very nature is non

I bump into these limits just using a few public install scripts for things like Atuin, Babashka, and Clojure on a single machine on my home IP. They're way too low to be reasonable.
