The very next sentence after the one you posted is "We expect normal porting activities to eventually add support for all major architectures." Goals and non-goals inform the scope of the proposal. Given this is effectively an &qu

If you haven't checked it out yet, GraalVM's Native Image [1] already let's do AOT compilation suitable for distribution. You have to do some configuration to deal with reflection and dynamic class loading since there's

While not great, the virtual cards are an improvement, unless your kid and you never play the same games. One Switch gets to be the home console and doesn't need checks. The other would have to be logged in as you, which requires a lic

The limit is per-user, not per-editor. Every process under your UID shares the same max_user_watches pool. So the editor's "prioritize open files" behavior can't help when a resident daemon like Watchman has already cons

Have you checked your fs.inotify.max_user_watches value? Maybe your value is too low and Zed can't watch the files that are changing. I know the JetBrains IDEs need the default to be increased on Linux because they detected it and prom

Nintendo Switch cartridges don't have this problem, mostly. It's the reason I buy physical for the family library. Nintendo's digital licensing is terrible (slightly less so with Virtual Cartridges, but miles away from Steam

If you click the “favorite” link it’ll be saved to your list of favorites. But, it doesn’t actually have to be your favorite —- it’s just a user-defined collection of HN posts.

I usually just amend commits as I go and don’t find it all that onerous. Sometimes it gets tricky, particularly if a rebase effectively changes what the code would have looked like. But, with LLMs even that’s gotten much easier.

Thanks for mentioning this. It seemed odd to me, too, so I spent some time trying to work it out. As a reviewer, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to assess database or API changes without knowing how they're intended to be used.

I mean an application that does more than what I can do in a mobile web browser. If it's just a web page I'd rather just do responsive web design. Presumably you've developed this to build native apps with rich functionality.

Thanks for answering. Is there an example project you can share? I'd love to see this in action.

I bootstrapped two companies in my 20s. While living off savings to get going, $20k in medical would have been the end of that venture. I'm glad it's working out for you. I don't have hard data, but I suspect being so healthy

It's an interesting idea, but it's hard to tell what the native parts are. The home page has a section titled "Native Targets" with an arrow icon that looks like it'd go to some docs, but appears to just be an icon.

Microsoft already switched its release support to the "series" model. There are still big games coming out on PS4. With the PS6 expected to be very expensive, we may very well see games simultaneously released on the 4, 5, and 6.

> Come on now. This is extremely obvious. I was talking about game compatibility and you brought up an utterly unrelated point and referenced non-specified “recent moves by Sony”. Forgive me for giving you the benefit of the doubt and in

by nirvdrum 2mo ago
Can you please elaborate? The recent moves I’ve seen have been announcing a shift to digital-only and another about clawing back movie purchases. Neither are appealing to me, but also aren’t related to game performance or compatibility.

I don’t think the appeal is just to the less technically inclined masses. I’m a developer with a MacBook Pro and a Linux workstation. Proton has come a long way, but consoles just work for the most part; I never have to question whether the

I’ve regularly used an M1 Max, M4 Pro, and M5 Max. They all get pretty loud when driving local LLMs. “Jet-engine” would be hyperbolic, but it’s definitely noisy.

He didn’t ask for it, as far as I can tell. It looks like a Rovio customer asked how they treat downstream partners. I think that’s allowed under capitalism. Be that as it may, plenty of engineers don’t understand the full ramifications of

You can’t export save files on PS5. You can’t transfer licenses, so you’ll have to repurchase any games you want to continue playing. For trophy/achievement hunters, those are going to be locked away. And a lot of the online game accou

Probably USD vs CAD. The parent posted a /ca/ link, which will look really similar to /us/, but the prices will all appear to be higher.

Part of the point the article makes is that most other popular languages have a comprehensive standard library. JS has an astonishingly small on. Rather than have one vetted set of libraries that ship with the language, applications either

by nirvdrum 5mo ago
The lack of a comprehensive standard library for JavaScript also results in projects pulling many more third party dependencies than you would with most other modern environments. It’s just a bigger attack surface. And if you can compromise

They’re definitely playing catch up, but the IDE integration makes interactive development really nice. Claude is good for one-shotting things, but I find JetBrains AI integration really useful for working with large codebases where I may b

Based on another reply I can’t tell if there’s a clever window-based pun that I’m missing. If not, I think you want “shudder” and not “shutter” here. I’m sorry if I just ruined the joke.

CheapCharts is really nice. I find discovery in the Apple TV store pretty bad otherwise. They earn their affiliate revenue. I do wish we had DRM-free purchases like we have with MP3s. But this is a big step up over streaming services. The M

Just in case you were unaware, there is and was a 100% open source variant of the GraalVM referred to as the "Community Edition (CE)"¹. RedHat built their own distribution based on that source tree called Mandrel². The closed sour
