  • [Steam controller] Anyone hear back after the May 8th reservation blitz?

    Jump

  • Someone in these comments literally ordered one from a reservation today. So there.

  • It doesn't matter that the title uses the name of the project accurately? Ok.

  • Heavy Community Backlash Blocks Fedora's AI Developer Desktop Initiative

    Jump

  • The project is literally called "Fedora Al Developer Desktop Initiative". It was blocked due to heavy community backlash. The title is not sensationalized. It's the exact article title from the webpage.

  • I just installed Read You from F-Droid.

    I think self-hosting an aggregator lets you keep a cross-platform record of what you've read and what not. You mostly just need an app.

  • How to get notified about Steam Hardware news the instant it's announced...

    Jump

  • That link goes to a to a forum, which doesn't have subscriptions. I figured out the answer, though.

    1. I went to the Steam Frame page.
    2. Near the bottom was "Follow Steam Hardware for updates, news, and launch information".
    3. That page has a "Links" menu with an RSS link.

    Note: if you go to the page in step 2 yourself, the RSS link will likely be in your local language. My link above is in English.

  • Well, that's a good idea. I haven't thought about RSS in ages. Like I forgot that was even a thing. I could write a back-end that polls the RSS feed for its last updated date, and if I find something, then notify subscibers. Subscribers like an app someone makes.

    I don't know much about writing Android apps, but I feel like if I were to write the stupidest one, post it on GitHub, and advertise the project to people, someone will be so offended at its stupidity that they'll fix it for me.

    I can handle the back-end stuff just fine.

    Just kidding. I'll go find some RSS app that has notifications. I just like making things, and making a "Steam Hardware Alert" app seems like fun.

  • We agree! That's what I meant when I said, "Any real news from Valve."

    I guess "real news from Valve" wasn't clear enough and could be mistaken for also including NewRandomYouTubeGamerX64_L33tSauce's pricing opinions. I guess I just don't condider that news. I thought the title was clear. TIL!

  • What UNIX Cost Us - Benno Rice (LCA 2020)

    Jump

  • Dear commenters, I have done very little research on this topic, and I am not a computer scientist. Just an average programmer who has written at most a few hundred lines of C. Feel free to (politely) tell me all the ways I am wrong.

    As long as you're turing complete

    I think you can stop there. Any computable function can be run on any Turing complete machine. You just need the right machine code. So you don't really need to add further qualifications.

    However, if you do... If you say C needs to be able to read input, write to files and devices, allocate and randomly access memory, or talk to an operating system in any way, then you've tied it to a particular (abstract) architecture. So, I'd say that's a pretty low level language on the abstraction spectrum. Most other languages are higher than it. If you were to rate programming languages from 0 to 10, C would be about a 3. Maybe even 2 for kernel code. Python would be like a 7, and SQL would be like an 8.

    Anyone saying a language is strictly either "high" or "low" is missing a lot of nuance, and C is definitely on the low end.

  • Plasma 6 just came out, and it contains a whole lot of new UI and features. It's much more than just security fixes.

  • Two Steam fanboys downvoted you.

  • Who cares, as long as the almighty line goes up!

    Jump

  • I thought all downvotes were permanent. Do they expire after a period of time if you don't mark them as permanent?

  • [Controller] Think these people will be disappointed

    Jump

  • I have the Mojora's Mask version, but I stored the power adapter in the same bag as the console and went on a road trip and the whole back of the shell got terribly scuffed. 😖 Like gouged, even. The little folding plug had opened up and sat there vibrating against the shell for hours.

  • Modern consoles could never

    Jump

  • When you think about it, it's not much weirder than plugging a GPU into a PC. It has a more powerful processor and requires it's own power supply. Imagine having to plug in your SNES cartridge.

    Except GPUs dont have game ROMs on them. Maybe someday they will.

  • Literally exactly how it works, too.

    Jump

  • Thanks for sharing your thoughts. No real arguments from me. It was a mistake on my part to equate what I had in my mind with the meme above. It is really is two different things.

    I just spontaneously remembered the FTL drive from the novel "Variable Star" by Spider Robinson and Robert Heinlein. The operator of the drive must hold multiple mutually contradictory thoughts in their mind at once, for hours at a time, in shifts with the other operators. Usually two at a time for redundancy. A failure to have at least one operator holding the required mental state would stall the drive and restarting it was very difficult.

    It was never really explained how it works, but it's taken totally seriously. It's not like flying in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" where you fall and forget to hit the ground. I thought it was a clever idea. To make consciousness an explicit part of FTL travel by basically holding your mind in a superposition of thought.

  • Kitten wreaks havoc at Fairbanks radio station, circa 1975

    Jump

  • Me, too. It pays homage to the source (maybe it meant "Radio Broadcast"?) while being a real name, and kind of a fun, old-timey one, too. Maybe he likes roast beef. Who am I kidding? Of course he does!
