MacOS also employs memory compression, so it's not necessarily swapping to disk.
My experience is, for businesses who pay attention to open-source licenses, they will avoid GPL libraries like the plague (GPL applications are usually fine, though there's sometimes some skepticism). But not all…
I dunno, even in C codebases, it's not uncommon to have data structures containing function pointers. Polymorphism isn't inherently bad and trying to achieve it using, say, enums and big switch statements isn't…
It depends on who is buying the Steam Deck. If it's people who don't already have a PC, then sure, Valve is broadening their market. But if it's people who already have a gaming PC, then it probably won't lead to a lot…
The Atari 2600 had a digital joystick. The Atari 5200 was completely analog. If you tear the controller down, there's a complex mechanism that links the stick to two rotational potentiometers. It's similar in outcome to…
Yes, I should have been clearer. I meant that their Linux investment started out as a hedge, but over time they were able to pivot it to something else. I'm not sure what the impetus was for the Steam Deck. I could see…
I might have overstated that. Looking at eBay "sold" prices, they seem to go for anywhere from 30 USD (controller only, no accessories) to over 100 USD (used, but in box with accessories) or 200 USD (sealed in box). But…
And Atari released theirs back in 1982.
It's unclear whether Valve is playing the long game or simply hedging their bets. My recollection is that their investment in Linux was expressly stated to be a hedge against a future where Microsoft put Windows in a…
I can't speak about Haskell, but Clojure's lazy sequences also generate a lot of intermediate allocs. For example, here's Clojure's implementation of `map`[1]. It internally uses `cons` to build a cell[2] and `map` to…
The EULA is giving you permission to e.g. copy and modify the font with certain restrictions (e.g. include the license text if you distribute it). In that regard, it's not terribly dissimilar in spirit from an open…
It's probably not as impressive as Miniaturwunderland, but if you're in the US, and specifically near northern New Jersey, there's a neat place called Northlandz [1]. It's much older than Miniaturwunderland and I'm sure…
Are you not doing the same thing that the author is doing? The author has a bias against blockchain, sees blockchain proponents making a poor argument, and that reinforces their bias against blockchains. You have a bias…
The RP2040 has a programmable IO subsystem. This lets you define a simple state machine that manages the IO pins and can transfer data to/from memory. Here's what the project's README says: So, how the heck the pico is…
North America got both variants. This iteration is the model 2, but the model 1 was also sold here.
Münecat made a pretty good video on this topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGfW5U7d8sc
One strategy is to go to community college for your gen ed requirements, transfer those credits to a more prestigious university, then finish your degree there. The piece of paper will have the university's name on it,…
They did disclose it; it was in the press release: In the case of Tether, the company represented that each of its stablecoins were backed one-to-one by U.S. dollars in reserve. However, an investigation by the Office…
I think it's fair to assume, in the discussion of an article, that all the discussion is related to said article.
If you read the article, it specifically points to remote learning as the thing that put students behind. I think the commenter believes that the negative effect of remote learning is overstated relative to other…
Thanks for the recommendation!
Topre has the same fundamental issue. The rubber dome buckles at some point, but the switch is activated by the spring deforming enough to change the capacitance above the pads. Then again, in my experience, it's not an…
I wanted to see pictures, and I found some here: https://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/benedict-arnolds-cry... It looks surprisingly cozy.
Do you read code while sitting on your hands? Or do you perhaps print out code before reading it? When I read code, it's not a passive activity. I'm navigating and searching. Sometimes I bring up external documentation.…
Out of curiosity, where do you stand on ES6 classes?
