A good fictional example of this I often think of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH5j9RHCBpM

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 m…

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 anythi…

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 …

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 boot…

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 (in…

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 so…

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.

Got a list of those bloggers you like?

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 s…

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, …

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

Cool project, but I'd use the first mode to look for hidden cameras at Airbnbs!

Tried Mint?

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 busine…
