A lot of what Proton-GE brings from my understanding is a larger support for Media Foundation, which can't be added to Proton itself because of license issues (Proton is from a commercial company, where Proton-GE is from an individual).

So aside from the stuff that has been implemented differently, running Proton instead of Proton GE is like trying to game on Windows N editions.


I played the F-Zero game recently in an Arcade nearby, it was amazing! I was so suprised when a buddy of mine went like: "Yeah, there is just a Gamecube in this".


I _just_ got my dreamcast with PSO back online and was wondering what time it was displaying!

Thank you for helping me discover the source of this little brainwurm.


It was very broken for a long time. Since fairly recently you have WiVRn (specifically wivrn-dashboard on Arch) for Oculus (more supported though) and I would daresay it works better then SteamVR used to do for me on Windows


The dutch news (NOS) has their Teletext available via ssh on teletekst.nl.

no lite version as far as I know.


There is a chance the led is also used as a important diode in the circuit, plainly removing it can greatly reduce the lifespan of the device. (more common in cheaper products)

Adding a appropiate diode in it's place is advised.


What's the physical reason for this? (elec noob here)


that chance is very low


After refilling your projector ink levels, ofcourse.


While I think this change is great, I am not directly convinced Safari should be included in the list by their own rules, considering the app has not been explicitly downloaded by at least 5,000 users in the prior calendar year.


That seems like a strange claim. Any source for it? Safari can be deleted on iOS and I find it hard to believe that less than 5000 people do that and then re-download it a year.


I think they mean as an App Store download (since it comes with the phone, so therefore has 0 app downloads).


When you delete it from the phone, you have to redownload it from app store to get it back. I would be shocked if less than 5000 people a year did that.


I live in the EU and I can’t delete Safari on iOS. I, too, am curious about that claim.


Far more than 5,000 users have downloaded the Safari Technology Preview.


> If a developer has multiple browser apps, only the most downloaded app will be eligible

Then that would imply that only the Safari Technology Preview should be eligible.


I knew that hackers still would not be satisfied. Thanks for spending some time to invent a reason to continue raging against Apple, so that the rest can go back to work.


Torch, SciPy, numpy and opencv combined get close to (or over, with transient dependencies) 1GB.

When you use Conda instead of venv, the amount of cuda packages grow even more if you're unluckly.

It's all way too big.


To me this feels like it would test what the code does, not what the code is _supposed_ to do.

Tests should in my opinion validate the intent behind code, not the actual function itself.


Right it is good as a “regression” test framework. AI isn’t needed for this and there are things like pyarttest that give you the same regression benefit. - they don’t validate that the initial code was correct.


I think you’re spot on that currently it can only test what the code actually does.

That’s probably why they specify that it’s for regression tests which are meant to do exactly that - test that future changes to the code do not change the current behavior unintentionally


That's all well and good when you're test-driving, but when you're spelunking into a legacy codebase it can be awfully hard to identify "intent," so it's good to know when you've changed any observable behavior.
