I guess when they get their vaccine game down we’ll really have to worry!

This is fascinating, thanks for the link. I love to learn about big systems that are developed in the same room where the problem they're solving lives, so to speak. Too few of these are revealed to the rest of us, as the piece notes.

I need this for Wayland. Maybe when the maintainers discover that joy in computing both exists and can be a worthwhile pursuit.

My antennae were twitching early on, it was "That is a floor, not a total" that flipped the switch for me and I closed the piece. I'm developing a distracting hypervigilance that kicks in whenever I start reading anything lin

The Grid Compass series (especially the II models with the big screen) looked like it came from the future. Stunning in its era. Wouldn't mind seeing a reboot.

I doubt that very much. 20ish years ago I read about the Indians being very upset that the engines in the Sukhoi fighters they bought weren't even making it to the promised (very modest) 300 operating hours between overhauls. That&#x27

Maybe more than a headwind. From my time in AAA here are two things I learned that were true in that environment: 1. Artists hate Perforce. 2. You will never get them to try anything else. I'm exaggerating, but not by that much. I lost

I’ve long wanted that amazing uptime and virtualization and huge I/O and all that cool stuff mainframes offered, but on the desktop or in the closet, with modern CPUs. I think I’m gonna hafta keep waiting...

Of course, but all those things (including upgrading during business hours) require budget. So, back to my original question...

I'd love to see this in the bootloader, along with a selection of binaries useful for recovery. Might sound silly but over the years I have had many a remote system get to the bootloader and then no further after an upgrade. Nowadays w

Congrats on your release, Aardappel! Bought a copy to support the dream!

You're right, packaging would definitely be a challenge. The cylinder head would need to be low profile, conformal exhaust headers, dry sumped, and put all the plumbing you can (including the turbo and wastegate) behind the block. Mayb

Upsides are that they're both first- and second-order naturally balanced, requiring no balance shafts, which reduces weight and makes them very low vibration. I keep waiting for someone to come up with a lightweight, turbonormalized st

Microsoft can really get it wrong, but getting streaming wrong after Stadia and Luna would be very, very impressive.

I disagree, for me desktop (K)Ubuntu's 6 month release cycle works great. Feels like a nice balance between stability and freshness.

> Hand on sales: Don't expect customers to sign up for a free plan and convert. Your conversion rate will be close to 0. Mostly scammers. Brutal! Is that true even for Japanese companies with a traditional sales force?

In other disciplines, yes. Very common to hear it in mechanical or aerospace engineering, for example. They'll say "codes" to refer to multiple programs or "a code" to refer to a single program. It's amusing, w

That’s awesome! But not everyone’s library is the same, so YMMV. I regularly see problems with flight sims that are Nvidia-specific, for example.

Many of the replies completely missed the part about Nvidia, sigh . I unfortunately still see a lot of Proton bug reports that don’t repro on AMD cards. Hoping that improves soon, I’m sure Valve would love to tell hardware makers that Nvid

Check out Jai, apparently if you ask nicely its author will let you use it. Unofficial docs here: https://pixeldroid.com/jailang/

It can be helpful to look at it less in terms of what it costs Valve to run their service and more in terms of what value developers get from Valve for the money. I'm in the business and I've asked two different heads of large, ve
