<p>It’s been a little while since I used Steam but you used to be able to do that from their own website, I think it was store.steampowered.com (I am guessing the website from memory). My game PC wasn’t my main PC so I didn’t even had Steam on that pc and it was what I used to buy the games - don’t really remember if I wishlist too because I use bookmarks in web browsers and folders for the bookmarks.</p>

<p>Any note on specs? Do we still have ethernet? Which ethernet we get (is it 2.5GBps?)? How much storage? And what about RAM? I couldn’t easily grasp this information after skimming the text.<p>Also, any change to the output ports, or are we still restricted to one hdmi as the single output?</p>

<p>> How many people were on the Super Mario 64 team?<p>> Probably about 15 people in the end.<p>Whoa, a much smaller team than I imagined! It must have been fun working in this group!! The rest of the interview is also cool but was impressed with this small number!!</p>

<p>Hey just because you mentioned specs, we went back from the huge amount of md files to no md files at all and having the code being self documented for our AI based workflow (we have projects using AI and others with human workflow).<p>If necessary there is tooling to generate docs from the code itself. There is also tooling for code quality and other things. You can also use AI to help build deterministic tools for specific code quality verification you may want - all major languages have established ways to parse the code and generate easy to inspect AST and code metrics that can be used for arbitrary quality measurements.<p>The entire “API” (all the code objects and functions interfaces) were carefully architected so their “contracts” are well determined, with very explicitly defined types. The machine written code now can evolve it directly and it has much less impact on context, which allows using very cheap and fast models and reduce a lot of expense while producing quality and predictable code output. Just a heads up if you are still using many md files and relying too much on the big frontier models.</p>

<p>Apple keyboards and mouse are horrible, don’t bother with those, plenty of others exists that also have multiple cordless solutions (dongle, Bluetooth, WiFi). The only of the magic devices from apple that is worth is the touchpad, that one is really good, and yes it is usable with a mouse too, as some things are useful through gestures.</p>

<p>Super cool. Anyone recommends an oscilloscope for this day and age? I loved the Tektronix ones, but haven’t touched one in 16 years. I think it would be nice to have one to look into these kinds of signals - I know they are relatively simple enough to imagine, but this looks like something cool to show to kids.</p>
