I think quite a few monitors that have USB-C input also have fans in them.

Curious about Netflix, does it limit the resolution because it is not an “official” app or something like this?

Also, it says you have to have system root of the tv, how does one get root access to the LG TV?

It’s been a little while since I used Steam but you used to be able to do that from their own website, I think it was store.steampowered.com (I am guessing the website from memory). My game PC wasn’t my main PC so I didn’t even had Steam on that pc and it was what I used to buy the games - don’t really remember if I wishlist too because I use bookmarks in web browsers and folders for the bookmarks.

Any note on specs? Do we still have ethernet? Which ethernet we get (is it 2.5GBps?)? How much storage? And what about RAM? I couldn’t easily grasp this information after skimming the text.

Also, any change to the output ports, or are we still restricted to one hdmi as the single output?

It’s been a little while, but I remember Mario 64 having way better camera than many games, even for a while

> How many people were on the Super Mario 64 team?

> Probably about 15 people in the end.

Whoa, a much smaller team than I imagined! It must have been fun working in this group!! The rest of the interview is also cool but was impressed with this small number!!

Hey just because you mentioned specs, we went back from the huge amount of md files to no md files at all and having the code being self documented for our AI based workflow (we have projects using AI and others with human workflow).

If necessary there is tooling to generate docs from the code itself. There is also tooling for code quality and other things. You can also use AI to help build deterministic tools for specific code quality verification you may want - all major languages have established ways to parse the code and generate easy to inspect AST and code metrics that can be used for arbitrary quality measurements.

The entire “API” (all the code objects and functions interfaces) were carefully architected so their “contracts” are well determined, with very explicitly defined types. The machine written code now can evolve it directly and it has much less impact on context, which allows using very cheap and fast models and reduce a lot of expense while producing quality and predictable code output. Just a heads up if you are still using many md files and relying too much on the big frontier models.

I watched that Ted Lasso episode too!

I think compilers can push out ifs inside for to be one if with two fors.

Apple keyboards and mouse are horrible, don’t bother with those, plenty of others exists that also have multiple cordless solutions (dongle, Bluetooth, WiFi). The only of the magic devices from apple that is worth is the touchpad, that one is really good, and yes it is usable with a mouse too, as some things are useful through gestures.

I think I remember something for this for mercurial to git migrations, I hope when its git 2 to 3 something similar is made (or it will take some time to adapt like when python did its 2 to 3 migration).

It used to be Gentoo but not sure it is related anyway nowadays

I really wanted the wiki to at minimum have directories so they would be easier to structure and allow even for major versions that are maintained in parallel.
