The lack of tire wear is only part of the problem IMO, as with these cars it has become harder to follow a rival in its dirty air.

Couldn't the DRS flap close as the car exits the DRS zone? To be fair, I expected it to be the case until I discovered it wasn't with Doohan's crash.

Can't believe Jurassic Park is no longer a fiction.

In all seriousness, I don't understand why anyone would want to reintroduce species that were extinct for millions of years (with no regards to existing ecosystems it seems), nor how such a company is able to fund this endeavor.

In France it's dirt cheap, I'm paying 23,99€/month for symmetric 1Gbps FTTH.

Most likely they use a translation layer (think Wine, Proton or DXVK) rather than emulation, since the Switch 2 hardware is not completely different from Switch 1 and it's not as costly as emulation, so I would say neither.

Edit to clarify emulation vs translation layer:

Emulation re-creates the entire hardware, while translation layer translates programming instructions intended for one platform to another, just like you would translate "one plus two" from English into "um mais dois" in Portuguese for exemple.

Since both Switch don't have completely different hardware (unlike PS3 and PS4 for example) it's probably easier and much more efficient to simply translate instructions that were specific to Switch 1 into Switch 2 instructions.

Edit 2: also Yuzu and Ryujinx are designed to emulate Switch on the x86 architecture, and since Switch 2 (and Switch 1) run on ARM, I'm pretty sure these emulators wouldn't run on Switch 2 without massive re-engineering efforts. Also, as someone else said, these projects are reverse-engineered, it makes much more sense that Nintendo engineers create an emulator from scratch using their own internal documentation of Switch 1 architecture (again, it's unlikely they went for emulation as I stated above) so the result is much more reliable than both Yuzu and Ryujinx.

That sentence intrigues me

we did something that’s somewhere in between a software emulator and hardware compatibility

What do they emulate vs. what was added in hardware to ensure compatibility?

Haha yes, the Mario Party Jamboree minigames using the Switch Camera felt very EyeToy-like.

It's for far more than just deploying VMs: you can create pretty much anything you can on a cloud provider, such as databases, network rules, access tokens, object storage, etc.

Terraform is part of a movement called "Infrastructure as Code" (IaC) which allows engineers to define their cloud infrastructure using code.

This is extremely useful as it allows you to:

• version infrastructure changes
• automate resource and configuration creation and management
• have reproducible environments (think production and staging envs, or deploying a new production env to another datacenter)

Terraform (and OpenTofu) is different to most IaC project as it is agnostic of cloud providers: you can use it to deploy infrastructure to multiple providers, where their competitors are limited to their own platform (I think of AWS's Cloud Development Kit)

I was actually surprised he didn't win Driver of the day in Melbourne: he was able to climb to 4th having started 16th, on his first Grand Prix!

I find their enterprise laptops to be surprisingly good. I own a refurbished EliteBook and it has really nice keyboard and track pad as well as user-replaceable RAM, SSD and wireless card. My only issue is that most of their enterprise laptops come with screens with 45% support of sRGB, which is trash for web design and photo editing.

And now again in the middle of SQ3...

Why did they not show the timing tower at the end of SQ2? I had no idea who was on the brink of being outed 😤

I might be lucky, my Gen 1 Pebble still works (though I have not tested how long the battery lasts in use, I only know it stayed on for under a week idle).

Only restic snapshots are backed-up to B2. ZFS snapshots are for undoing mistakes, though I enabled them recently and I have yet to use them.

My work flow is pretty similar to yours:

For my desktop and laptops: systemd timer and service that backups every 15 minutes using restic to my NAS.

For my NAS : daily backup using restic + ZFS snapshots.

All restic backups are then uploaded daily to Backblaze B2.

I believe Linux Server builds images every day for most of their containers, even though there has been no code changes.

Chrome and Firefox do as well

The story seems kinda bad, but the racing scenes look rad!

I believe the anticheat for Fortnite it the kernel-level flavor or Easy Anti Cheat the article mentions, and I think that by its nature it cannot be easily ported to Linux, Epic would have to drop it altogether in favor of the "vanilla" flavor of EAC.
