You can e.g. download a run cycle from Mixamo, use Blender to render a video from whatever angle you wish, and feed that into the model along with your sprite on a green background, it's pretty much perfect.

You're spending $15,000 per capita per year on healthcare for what can at best be described as mediocre outcomes. The Netherlands spends $6000 and is near the tops of the charts when it comes to quality. What's the ratio of effectiveness per dollar we're looking at here? 5 to 1?

It doesn't matter whether or not people like it when you cut, you have to if your want your country to exist in 50 years. But just as importantly you have to get rid of the leeches in the middle of the pipe and make sure the money that's left is actually doing work for you.

They already took that step too far - they broke ToS and closed all MC accounts that weren't linked to a MS account within the timeframe.

I'm obviously not saying I'd like them to make everything an Xbox exclusive, but it's the only play that makes sense after throwing $75B to buy Activision.

"Minecraft and CoD are now Xbox exclusive".

It could probably be done as a global device setting - e.g. ignore taps within 100ms if they're within 50px of each other or whatever.

I'd be interested in the "retention rate" for these two products. I wouldn't be surprised if the average original Xbox was used 2 orders of magnitude more than the average Meta Quest, which is collecting dust on some shelf.

I'd wager the typical MQ2 owner is someone with 20 hours of Beat Saber on it and 5000 hours total on Steam or PS.

I'm fine with that, chances are that Claude will delete this table behind Anthropic's back and give them an essay about why what they're doing is immoral.

No.

Yes.

Yes.

What is the implication here? That because I did not know that a percentage of the money I give a company went towards supporting a party whose I that I find disgusting, I should keep supporting them now that I do know?

Linux more or less runs most Windows games. The ones that don't run are ones where the developer is going out of their way to make them not run - mostly with kernel-mode anti-cheats that just find themselves staring at the wrong kernel.

Steam makes that pretty seamless and Steam games "just work". For non-Steam games you need to do some tinkering, it's stuff that most people browsing this forum can do.

The manager wants the Submit button to submit the form, they rarely care how the programmer does it. It's the programmer that chose to install the 11,000 node_modules, to use React with 3 layers of state management on top with hybrid SSR/CSR and to do Kubernetes because that's what was on Hacker News that day or whatever. And guess what, somehow the Submit button does still not submit the form 10% of the time.

Get rid of the junk and the program will be more efficient AND you'll ship quicker.

I would probably expose a poll() and let the client deal with it, I don't know if there's a one-size-fits-all signaling mechanism. But you have control over it, which is probably another plus.

If the compositor wants to notify the client as soon as possible, it has to send 1000 messages per second. If you buffer them, you're wasting the hardware's potential, if you don't buffer, them you're doing 1000 write()s per second, which is... ugh.

If you're literally going to design the protocol from scratch and require all existing software to deal with it, why not pick the IPC model that doesn't have this issue.

  1. You don't need to convert your discrete messages into a stream with size metadata, only for them to immediately be converted to a message on the other side.
  2. You don't need to jump into the kernel to copy over 20 bytes, only for the other side to jump into the kernel to copy it back.
  3. You don't need to deal with the "oh but what if my read returns half a message because this is a stream"
  4. You don't need to pretend you're doing network programming.

It's pretty representative of the project though - "We're doing things the way we've always done them, but slightly different. Now rewrite all your software to work with our thing. No, you cannot do global keyboard shortcuts or set window position. You don't like it? We're doing this for free, you cannot critique it."
