No, I don't remember that at all. Is it real? Seems like a small form factor PC with KFC branding: https://landing.coolermaster.com/kfconsole/

I'm playing through Bravely Default.

I have a stack of 3DS games that I never got to play, but now I'm taking some time every once in a while, because the system has some really good titles.

Thanks, good spot!

Thanks, I'm aware that the market is difficult. However, there still seem to be many jobs posts. That's why I'm wondering if it's something else too.

Using Google Maps causes Firefox (114.0.2) and the whole OS to completely freeze within minutes on my Laptop. This started happening after I upgraded to Fedora 38. Not sure if this is caused by the same bug. Could be Gnome, Wayland, who knows. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Framework uses 28W (TDP) class CPUs on their Intel boards. Better cooling would allow better boosting behaviour. Still, this case plus one of their 13th gen or AMD boards is very tempting.

I'm running my 5800x in 45w Eco mode. It does not improve idle power from what I can see. It only limits the max it can draw.

Not exactly a getting started guide, but if you want to learn about Prometheus and PromQL, I've recently made a tool to spin up an instance and send fake metrics data to it: https://github.com/pb82/prometheus-toolbox

This sets you up to play around and learn PromQL.

Very happy to see boot failure fixes in the release notes. Can't wait to give it another try with beta4!

It's also not clear what's better. Is Ultra better than Extreme? Or is Max the bestest one?

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (a tale about a time and place I have not experienced), The Rum Diaries (surprisingly such a feel good movie), Bang Boom Bang (a hilarious German Comedy)

The article about the Padauk is interesting. Especially the description of the FPPA feature. Multiple CPU contexts? This sounds suspiciously like SMT to me which would be a total novelty for a micro controller (afaik).

This is nice. I recently experimented with OpenBSD on a Librebooted X200. Took some time to figure out how to boot it with Grub. And then it turned out that the particular Wifi chipset wasn't supported. But this gives me some motivation to get a USB Wifi dongle and continue. Any suggestions for one that works?

Thanks for the clarification, much appreciated! So it is the same mess just as with their CPU names.

It refers to their HD 7000 series, the predecessor of Polaris (RX 4xx and 5xx): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_HD_7000_series

Really? I'm using their IDEs on Fedora 35 with Wayland. Seems to be working fine.

Any forks of Firefox OS still alive? That comes closest.

If you are having trouble with suspend/resume on your Ryzen 4xxx or 5xxx laptop, you might be in luck with this version. See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1230 for details.

It's a quote from Futurama: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIrlZSYB6tE

From what I understand it's still dual channel for the first 8Gb, no? Not ideal but if I ever feel the need I could get another 32Gb stick and make it dual channel.

Not quite 700$ but I recently bought a Laptop with a Ryzen 5700u (8 cores, 16 threads) and upgraded the RAM to 40Gb. Easily under 1000$ brand new.

It's even worse in this case. Following the Github link, you'll get to an archived repository inside an org that the author created as a joke. In his own words: 'This is a joke. You'll only see this org if you are attempting to troll me about repositories I created when I was learning to program.'

It got in there and is now part of the foundation of tons of other projects.

Maybe it doesn't matter but at the very least this ecosystem seems very immature (in the psychological sense).

Is that the real reason why those companies are hired? Judging by the comments here I wonder if there are any success stories at all.

Brown dwarfs are failed starts, something between a large gas planet and a red dwarf. Red dwarfs don't turn into brown dwarfs when they die. In fact a red dwarf's lifetime is so long (up to trillions of years) that its unlikely that we ever see one dying. It is believed that they turn into white dwarfs when that eventually happens.

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't.

Yes, it is a form of composition over inheritance where the components can be added or removed at runtime. At least that's how i'm using it.

Very nice. I found some excitement in the topic of game programming patterns after learning about Entity Component Systems. For me it was a huge, well, game changer. I tried for years to build games but always gut stuck and/or lost interest. ECS allowed me to do finally get somewhere. I'm working on a small 2d action rpg [1] and a lot of the requirements can neatly be expressed as entities and components. Even something like a save/load system should fit into this by serializing all entities at once.

They are very different in terms of usage. Dear ImGui is an immediate mode UI library which means that rendering and evaluation happen at the same time. You write for example:

if (ImGui::Button("X")) { //pressed handler }

This renders the button and handles its state at the same time.

Qt is a more traditional callback based UI although with their own signal/slot system which has nice features like thread safety built in. I last used Qt a while ago though so maybe it works different nowadays.

I think you mean Github, those features are not part of git.

> Since A and B are also connected by the wormhole, looking through wormhole will show us that clocks are synchronized.

Can you please elaborate on that a bit more? That's the part I don't understand. Why would you observe synchronized clocks when looking through the wormhole?
