Personally I just want another RtwP CRPG.

I loved PoE1, didn't care much about PoE2, and will probably care less about Avowed. There's something magical about a map full of tiles that aren't revealed immediately compared to a world map that you can immediately tell how much has been explored.

Same thing for BG3. I love Larian (been a Kickstarter backer since the original D:OS days, been playing almost every one of their games on release day since Dragon Commander) and BG3's a great RPG, but it doesn't feel like a good BG game. BG2 gave an immediate sense of "I have no idea where to go so I can do whatever I want". BG3 is always nudging you to uncover the map and clear all the quests.

Nope. Plenty of people want this.

In the last few years I've seen plenty of cases where CS undergrad students get stumped if ChatGPT is unable to debug/explain a question to them. I've literally heard "idk because ChatGPT can't explain this lisp code" as an excuse during office hours.

Before LLMs, there were also a significant amount of people who used GitHub issues/discord to ask simple application usage questions instead of Googling. There seems to be a significant decrease of people's willingness to search for an answer regardless of AI tools existing.

I wonder if it has to do with weaker reading comprehension skills?

  • I can't simultaneously play a third MMO (already got FFXI and FFXIV)
  • X4 custom start allows me to jump to the parts I want to play instantly, no matter if it's starting wars, flooding the market, dogfighting, etc
  • My X4 save is a gzip file: no need to worry about latency after moving to another country etc (my EVE account is locked to a region halfway across the world)
  • I don't have to wait for irl people to do something fun in X4
  • The gziped save file is in xml format. If something breaks I can just fix it
  • X4 has a huge modding scene for whatever features you want
  • X4's modding tools are super easy to learn: it's all xml and lua. Took me only 2 hours to figure out how to modify the UI from scratch.

Because it's in a genre that has no good alternatives?

EVE is spreadsheet simulator, Elite Dangerous is space-truck simulator, NMS is all planets not space, StarField is StarField.

The only viable alternative I found was X4. Even that is slightly different from what Star Citizen promises (it's more empire management than solo flying in the endgame, vanilla balance is also questionable: you can "luke skywalker" a destroyer with a scout with pure dogfighting skills)

Agreed. Personally I think this whole thing is bs.

A routine that just returns "yes" will also detect all AI. It would just have an abnormally high false positive rate.

Not sure about GreaseMonkey, but V8 compiles JS to an IL.

Nodejs has an emit IL debugging feature to see the emitted IL code.

How much of that is cached state based on the percentage of ram available?

An alternative definition: a real-time system is a system where the correctness of the computation depends on a deadline. For example, if I have a drone checking "with my current location + velocity will I crash into the wall in 5 seconds?", the answer will be worthless if the system responds 10 seconds later.

A real-time kernel is an operating system that makes it easier to build such systems. The main difference is that they offer lower latency than a usual OS for your one critical program. The OS will try to give that program as much priority as it wants (to the detriment of everything else) and immediately handle all signals ASAP (instead of coalescing/combining them to reduce overhead)

Linux has real-time priority scheduling as an optional feature. Lowering latency does not always result in reduced overhead or higher throughout. This allows system builders to design RT systems (such as audio processing systems, robots, drones, etc) to utilize these features without annoying the hell out of everyone else.

Base it off of total sqft?

I'm struggling to see how someone would need a combined 40000 sqft of residential living space either...

Yeah I completely forgot about the consumer side of things. I was expecting there being Cisco iOS/FRR router configs, not a full web dashboard.

As someone who works with 100Gbps networking:

  • why the heck do these routers run Lua of all things???
