Instead - here's [0] Ben Daglish (on flute) performing "Wastelands" together with the Norwegian C64/Amiga tribute band FastLoaders. He unfortunately passed away in 2018, just 52 years old.

If that tickled your fancy, here's [1] a full concert with them where they perform all songs from The Last Ninja.

You've been able to build and run Chromium on ARM Linux for a long time (I'm running it right now), it's just that they haven't provided an officially branded Chrome.

This is a good thing. While Chromium works well, there are a few things (like syncing) that is a bit of a pain to set up.

I've been meaning to do a write up of the project, but I keep putting it off. I wrote the software bits in C++. To speed up iteration (i.e. not have to deploy to real hardware for every tweak to the game code), I made a small web harness that ran the core logic as wasm.

But the conspiracy brained part of me can't help to think that part of this is sour grapes. Vinnie contributed a lot to the failed proposal to add networking (loosely based on ASIO) to the C++ standard. That proposal eventually lost out to the sender/receiver library[0] which is getting added in C++26. That still doesn't have actual networking, but lays the groundwork.

It remains to be seen how well sender/receiver turns out. Given ranges (another Niebler addition), I'm not super optimistic.

    * I installed Fedora 43 and it (totally unsurprisingly) worked great.
    * I installed Steam from Fedora's software app, and that worked great as well.
    * I installed Cyberpunk 2077 from Steam, and it just... worked.

I later got a hankering to play Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. This time, the game would not work and Steam wasn't really forthcoming with showing logs. I figured out how to see the logs, and then did what you do these days - I showed the logs to an AI. The problem, slightly ironically, with MD is that it has a Linux build and Steam was trying to run that thing by default. The Linux build (totally unsurprisingly) had all kinds of version issues with libraries. The resolution there was just to tell Steam to run the Windows build instead and that worked great.

I remember 15 or 20 years (has it been that long?) when the Haskell people like dons were banging on about: 1) Moore's law being dead, 2) future CPUs will have tons of cores, and 3) good luck wrangling them in your stone age language! Check out the cool stuff we've got going on over in Haskell!

But if gaming is what you're actually interested in, then it's a pretty terrible buy. You can get a much cheaper x86-based system with a discrete GPU that runs circles around this.

It was interesting hearing the names of the locations and bridges that previously meant nothing to me (except the golden gate).

It's free to watch on youtube at the moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy9XYQBBIJ4

I visited NYC a few weeks ago and was instantly reminded of how much the traffic fucking sucks :) While I was there I actually thought of Waymo and how they'd have to turn up the "aggression" slider up to 11 to get anything done there. I mean, could you imagine the audacity of actually not driving into an intersection when the light is yellow and you know you're going to block the crossing traffic?

I think it's less about side effects being common when serializing, just that their fast path avoids anything that could have side effects (like toJSON).

The article touches briefly on this.

Come to think of it - I don't know what the modern equivalent would be. AppleScript?
