I actually finished this recently, and to me, the old abilities were almost completely irrelevant. There are legitimately times where you might think that wonderwing is the solution to something, but arbitrarily is programmed to not work.

I still really like BT, and even prefer it over the first in some aspecta. However, it is a perfect example of how powerups were implemented poorly back then (and even today). Instead of powerups enhancing the core gameplay loop, they are just keys to solve shallow puzzles. “Oh, there’s a crack in the wall? Shoot it with a grenade egg.” This is why Mario games have much more emphasis on evolving gameplay through level design rather than character abilities.

It’s very popular in scientific computing

Devil’s advocate take: was the phone app the only way to ease your anxiety, or was it just an option that was recommended due to the trend of trying to have our phone do everything?

The best way to “stand up for yourself” when a company that sells a luxury product is to not buy said product. In which case this tariff nonsense doesn’t affect you. More people were affect by the increase in the cost of groceries and gas than the cost of a Switch 2.

IMO I think it’s weird to focus specifically on Nintendo. The American government basically screwed over its populace and a ton of foreign companies (less sympathy for the latter though). I don’t think it’s realistic to expect these companies to reimburse customers, because logistically it’d be a nightmare. The only way I can imagine consumers getting their money back is if the government used the tarrif money to pay a portion of the federal income tax for its citizens, ideally the lower tax bracket. Unfortunately that won’t happen.

“operating at a loss” =/= “low revenue”

TV is the biggest waste of time. I enjoy some shows, but I can acknowledge that a lot of it really is just something to fill time rather than “art.” I’ve cut back my TV and YouTube consumption a lot, and it enables me to do a lot more non-passive hobbies. Worst case scenario I read or game, which I consider a much better use of my time.

Ideally there is a twist where they all turn out to be toxic, and pest control-senpai clears them out.

Or you coukd just use Arch without installing an AUR helper?

I tried the same user, and it worked for me just now. Thanks for working on this project!

Just fyi, I tried one your instance. Searched a user, clicked a result, and got an error.

Improved hardware capabilities used to come very quickly (see Moore’s Law and Dennard Scaling). However that trend is basically over, so getting higher performance hardware takes a lot of effort to make hardware specialized for certain tasks. That’s why you see there inference accelerators like Groq, SambaNova, Cerebrus, etc. However this is hardware that still is gonna go into data centers. Something innovative has to happen on the AI side for commercial-grade models to be runnable on consumer hardware.

Star Fox Zero. Sure, the story was a repeat of old game, but the gameplay was not. The controls needed more polish, but ultimately I thought the gameplay was great. I actually didn’t mind the motion controls. Most of what people complained about didn’t bother me or felt overblown.

In vim you can make some changes to a file, close vim, and then reopen the files, and then undo your changes, i.e. your undo history persists across sessions.

I use helix part-time but am forced to go back to neovim a majority of the time for a few reasons:

1. no persistent undo
2. no ctags and cscope (some C/C++ projects don’t work well with clangd)
3. niche plugins (e.g. I just found a neovim plugin that gives me a way to run ipynb files in-editor)

If 1 and 2 got fixed, I’d be a full time helix user

Depends on the nature of the project. Is it a pure software project or is it a physical device + platform? Is anything implemented yet?

I think you have it backwards. Coding games is complicated, and that’s why AI can’t be used to code them effectively.

I’ve been playing Sekiro lately. While it’s not generally on the top of “immersive games” lists, I find it immersive because of how cool the gameplay makes you feel. When you are just completely focused on timing each parry and reading the attacks of your enemy, it makes me feel like I’m actually in the game doing these feats. Combine that with the fact there are few cutscenes and little dialogue, and I’d say it feels pretty immersive.

It’s also the basis for a popular hardwaregeneration language, chisel. No clue why they chose it

I don’t think engineers need encouragement to be cynical. More often engineers need to lighten up.
