This was at the end of 2021 or beginning of 2022, so the Mk8 wasn't out yet. Mk 8 models are also a bit more expensive, so the discrepancy would be a bit better in that case, I would imagine. Out of curiosity, are the Mk8s not too well

That sounds extremely high for what it is. The second-hand car market has probably gone insane over there as well though Here in Australia I bought a 6 year old Citroen DS3 for about EUR 5.5k, and it had around 60k km on it. Now I was looki

DeviantArt has taken a very particular direction! I suspect the advent of ArtStation has siphoned away the creatives posting for their portfolio. I kept trying to use it for finding reference material for a game I was working on, except eve

No worries, going to check out some of the commits when I get a bit more free time as well. The concept is intriguing! The usefulness of LLMs for engineering things is very hard to gauge, and your project is going to be quite interesting as

That's a beautiful readme, starred! Out of curiosity, right now would you say you have saved time by (almost) exclusively prompting instead of typing the code up yourself? Do you see that trending in another direction as the project pr

No? External changes to variables trigger reloads too, it was quite a nice experience coming from back end and hobby game dev. Now, the reactive blocks, where an update to _any_ variable used in them trigger the re-evaluation seemed rife fo

I have a Keychron Q1 that has a knob for volume, and it's very hand for sure! Common use case is when boosting people's volume when Zoom speakers have a quiet mic, for example. Or for when a musical breakdown is impending :)

Not necessarily for either point, much as I want to avoid being pedantic. My LG CX's remote uses IR for turning on, but beyond that it uses Bluetooth or some similar protocol. Even if a remote is IR, rear cameras are often shielded aga

The Epic Games launcher has a bizarre behaviour here. If you first sign in with your Xbox account, you can later sign in with the credentials of your Xbox account (email and password), as a 'native' account. I'm not sure what

Lua scripting can be more commonly performed by people without an engineering background, depending on the workplace. Game designers and level artists probably don't have much C experience, so Python's relative proximity to C is a

The umlauted u is not just a u with some visual flair. "ue" instead would be a more accurate transliteration, but Tuerkiye looks... awkward.

I still read Czechoslovakia every now and then instead of Czechia, and it has been a few decades since they split off now.

Oh interesting, could you recommend any dishes that use it well? There's quite a sizable Chinese population where I live, so I can probably find it prepared authentically enough :) To be honest I never saw much effort going into prepar

Oh lord that reminded me, when I was in India for a bit people kept trying to convince me to eat this horrible vegetable called bitter gourd, it just tastes like battery acid no matter how it was prepared! I forgot all about that till I tas

As a young (enough) programmer, I'm keenly learning C++. Not because I love the language though, but because I am interested in game development, specifically in Unreal Engine for now.

I'm working my way through the Rust book right now, and that's sort of the sense I'm getting too. The compiler is quite good at catching some issues relating to memory access predominantly. There's many ways to solve mul

Not sure if Web Serial APIs count, but I'll run with it. I created a two-part project: a web app you configure ad simulate a few* peripherals in, and a bridge device that can interact with the simulated peripherals. Essentially, a brid

Does anyone particularly care if development builds inline much? If you can get Go-like compile speeds for development iteration, and the current ones for release, it would be the best of both worlds for me.

Using Ruby primarily is my best guess.

That's a big improvement over maintaining non-trivial local environments at least.

That screenshot does not look rendered in game, and no idea what the resolution is - at least not by an Xbox One. If current games are indistinguishable from single-frame renders that take minutes if not hours, I'd say that's a ma

In true HN spirit, I've seen people critical (with good reason IMO) of every promise or goal he has announced. Now, some subset of people will be for and against anything, so if you filter selectively HN supports any and ever narrative

The centralised model of Perforce is more of a natural fit for one thing, since by default it allows you to clone subsets, and just the latest version of files. File locking is much more integrated into the p4 workflow as well, in git you c

That is exactly what git-lfs is, a way to "version control" binary files, by storing revisions - possibly separately, while the actual repo contains text files + "pointer" files that references a binary file. It's n

"Achievable" is quite charitable from my experience. With the previous ISP I would get located in a city some 2000kms away, sometimes the scam ads would detect my location as null. Maybe it's more effective in places like the

I was more thinking based on input data about things like what you are looking for in a partner, whether you are after a long-term relationship or not, etc. Then you throw in all that data to the ML deities and hope the output is something

I mean they're dating apps, not relationship apps! Tinder was built to facilitate quick hookups, not being selective about your next long-term relationship. Of course, Tinder is synonymous to dating for some, which is the weird part.

From the company's POV, aren't they likely to benefit from setting you up on dates that either go mildly unfortunately, or leading to a short-term relationship at best? The customers are paying for dates after all, not long term r

Games have been AU$110 on release for current gen Xbox, while the in-store releases can be grabbed for $80-90 typically. Digital on-sale prices tends to track the physical normal/used prices too. Never going on sale might be more of a
