Who mentioned marketing? It's used for package tracking, order updates, bookings and so on where I live.

Not where I live, presumably not in the US, and it doesn't look like the main use case emphasized in the developer/integration documentation.

Because it has a legitimate use. As anything, the tools will be abused by malicious actors

Pure heating doesn't generate any work beside just heating. This is an interesting and a rather futuristic concept.

Having the tree easy to filter doesn't matter if it returns hundreds of commits you have to sift through for no reason.

Having the commit graph easy to filter means exactly that you don't have to sift through hundreds of commits for no reason. What else did you think it would mean?

Which one of your friends can host an mp physics heavy game with a number of low-latency high-resolution video streams? I would estimate the average answer to be zero.


Perhaps the solution could be to have all players stream the game from a centralized instance, rather than all clients streaming from the host’s instance.

That would have a number of advantages, come to think of it. For starters, install size could be much lower, piracy would be a non-issue, and there would be no need to worry about cross-platform development concerns.


We don't have to theorize about this. We've had cloud gaming for years, and the companies have immense motivations to turn us all into renters in the cloud so they've poured a lot of effort into it and we can see half-a-dozen highly-resourced results now. We can just look at it and we can see that it... almost... works. If you don't care much about latency it definitely works.

However, Teardown is in the set of games where it just barely works and only if all the stars and the moon align. I'd characterize it as something like, cloud gaming spends 100% of the margin, so if anything, anything goes wrong, it doesn't work very well.

(Plus, as excited as the companies are about locking us into subscriptions rather than purchases that we own, when it comes time to actually pay for the service they are delivering they sure do like to skimp, because it turns out it's kind of expensive to dedicate the equivalent of a high-end gaming console per person. Most stuff that lives in the cloud, a single user averages using a vanishing fraction of a machine over time, not consuming entire servers at a time. Which doesn't pair well with "you spent 100% of the margin just getting cloud gaming to work at all".)


For the record, my comment was a joke. I was quoting from Stadia’s marketing. :-)


Funny, it's not two days that I've published what I called 'we have Polaroid at home' https://www.printables.com/model/1622259-14mm-label-tape-pic...

Note it's just a 3D printable stand for tiny printer labels (16mm wide). It was a literal 5 minute project but I liked the retro and restrictive aesthetic enough to share..

Such printer as shown is an absolute bargain at £15


I can't say this is exactly what you're after, but this article is really interesting https://calpaterson.com/bank-python.html

Similar to what the author describes, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of this information is generally not public.


First thing that caught my eye. Apparently the reason is to make use of stronger, more consistent winds on open sea.


If it's an individual, it could be as simple as portfolio cred ('look, I found and helped fix a security flaw in this program that's on millions of devices ')


Thanks for sharing. Looking at the first section- official mermaid playground supports both ui and text editing. It's been a life changer.
