As someone who has crossed over both and currently working in games, it’s actually kind of wild how different a mindset games are. It takes a very specific skillset even in software engineering and there are unique challenges to both sides of the fence. Crossing over is not quite as easily transferable as you’d think

For all the invasive problems this feature causes, what the fuck does it actually do? The ability to ask an ai what website you were on last Thursday? Who needs this garbage

I would’ve absolutely paid more attention in maths if the learning material was this utterly contemptuous of “ordinary mathematicians” haha

also full Project Gutenberg text is here https://calculusmadeeasy.org/, thanks for sharing!

Finally getting around to playing Disco Elysium. I know I’m late to the party but holy cow what a trip

I’m the opposite because I’ve had nothing but bad luck with docker. I should really spend more time with it but ugh

Starfield. Such a sad shitstorm

Debugging (without a MacBook). Webgl 2. WebXR. Local storage not being completely gimped. I’m glad I don’t work in that industry anymore, Safari was the bane of my existence…

Good web standards are a threat to the app store (particularly anything to do with ARKit) - not like 3rd party browsers are likely to change that much with the majority of users sticking to defaults, but it might apply some pressure

YES, thank you! You saved me a lot of writing haha

This is spot on and the real advantage of ray tracing - when it becomes the norm it’ll look better, provide effects that are extremely difficult or impossible and do so with minimal dev pain.

Not lag, physical pushback from the wheels

True, but sensitivity is only half the story - the direct feedback of a wheel cannot be overstated

It’s not just about precision, it’s about feedback. Being directly connected with the steering linkage gives valuable feedback about the road and the front wheels - just because handicapped people have an alternative that they may use out of necessity does not mean it’s a better solution.

In a fully autonomous car, sure perhaps a simple manual system as a backup makes sense but we aren’t there yet. You are talking absolute nonsense, and I can only assume you haven’t ever driven a vehicle.

Steering wheels are enormous because that allows fine grain control, which you need at higher speeds. Switching lane at 70mph requires only very slight movement but turning the car around in a street you can go full lock.

A joystick would be fucking TERRIFYINGLY stupid lmao

I’ll be impressed if they manage to continue the trend and find someone even more vile to replace her

And separated out the Bluetooth antenna from the WiFi

The cheapest 64GB one on clearance is a steal, just stick your own m.2 in there later

Oof. I had mine about 6 weeks but that stings lol

There are rumours abound that it may well be a wireless pcvr headset with an optional “base station” which is essentially a beefed up steam deck for the TV. I hope that’s true because that would be ideal for people with existing PCs but who knows

It should pop up on the desktop steam vr window thingy if it’s not default

How much of that is a workaround to feed client rendered webpages into LLMs and bypass robots.txt etc

That’s a separate and unrelated issue of connection encryption, nothing to do with the contents of a site. You can totally have a basic HTML page served over HTTPS
