While it’s true that both python and js are interpreted languages, making them highly portable, JS at that time was a very lightweight language with a robust runtime offered by mozjs, that was built to be easy to embed into other systems, while python was designed for being the framework in which you build apps directly, hence requiring deeper dependencies.

From what I can gather

1. JS is system agnostic, doesn’t require compilation or multiple dependency binaries, as opposed to say Python.
2. JS is widely understood, could get more contributors.
3. JS is a good enough scripting language made with UI stuff in mind.

I also see people lamenting that lua wasn’t chosen, so there’s that.

And that’s a fact

Fun fact, roughly half of gnome-shell codebase is written in JavaScript.

Maybe they fear switch 2 sales would plummet if emulation and PC handhelds stick around when they launch. I disagree coz the two attract different kinds of gamers, but they aren’t cool like that.

Nintendo declaring war of its own.

Hmm. Perhaps we’d come to a point where these facilities are on all continents to reduce ecological impact, but I guess Apple isn’t that green.

N00b question. Do these chips get transferred from USA to India/Vietnam for assembly and then back again to all over the world for shipping?

Oh I see. So DLSS and especially ray reconstruction uses tensor core, would that be right?

I guess then it may be better to keep expectations low.

When AMD moved on from its GCN microarchitecture back in 2019, the company decided to split its new graphics microarchitecture into two different designs, with RDNA designed to power gaming graphics products for the consumer market while the CDNA architecture was designed specifically to cater to compute-centric AI and HPC workloads in the data center.

I wonder if CDNA will be more akin to Tensor Cores on RTX GPUs, leading to better ray tracing performance of gaming.

He’s complaining that googlers aren’t killing products faster anymore because of the remote work. It was easier to just say “hey how about we kill gtalk” over on campus coffee shop discussions, but now they’ve to do that on Google meet and it limits the imagination of what all they could kill next week.

Ahhhh, yeah

MKBHD wave form sound board.

Yeah the more I read it seems some crucial security software deployed bad patch.

I’m sure whatever OS would dominate would face widespread issues just by the numbers.

But to be fair it’s fun to make fun of Windows/MSFT :p

Linux and Mac just got free advertisment.

I think it is already happening gradually. SteamDeck has single handedly opened the eyes of so many already. M1 Macs did that for macOS as well.

Could it be that consumers are putting money where there mouths are and this is just Microsoft desperately trying to increase their margins since their business isn’t growing anymore?

I mean the more people move away, the more likely it is Microsoft would milk the ones who can’t.

Will this mean PS5 games in coming years would come in two disks?

Update: never mind they were always using 100 gb

I wonder why it isn’t titled from consumer’s perspective.

But after cementing lemmy as a viable alternative. I actually find fun content on lemmy. Reddit feed for me ends up turning into a left vs right garbage.

Binary search only works on sorted data, i.e. you know which side of the mid point is pointing towards the incident. If the incident leaves no trail, you can’t know whether you can discard the left side or the right side, making it a complicated linear search at that moment.
