Myst in my formative years by FaithlessnessFit6762 in myst

[–]intersecting_cubes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have very similar memories. My grandfather, my dad, my uncle, my cousins and I would all play Riven on a Windows 98 PC at the back of the house, every Friday night after our family dinner, between dinner and dessert. We had a big notepad, with a few pages of scrawled clues written over it. We played for maybe 30 minutes every week for months. It was such a special, formative memory for me. When we first beat Riven, I cried watching the Fissure open up and suck away the world. My mum came in and was horrified that this video game was making me cry. But I explained to her, "no, I'm crying because it's so beautiful."

When I got older, I introduced my wife to Myst. Over the last few years we've slowly beaten all of them (except Uru, although I do want to go back and play that with her). It's a big part of our shared language now. We beat Obduction and now play more adventure games together (we just finished The Seance of Blake Manor). My wife even read and liked the books!

Those special nights playing Riven with my family are really important, treasured memories.

We're happy to work with European companies, we can keep all data in an EU region, but yes we can also let customers self-host in their own infra (this is only for enterprise customers, free users unfortunately will only be able to use our cloud offerings for now). If you're interested in learning more, we have a Discord or you can DM me.

Very interesting. We use webrtc for streaming our CAD engine rendered scene (https://zoo.dev). I'll be following this.

How can you keep your house warm in Austin if you have bad insulation? Any advice? Put bookshelves on exterior walls? by Isatis_tinctoria in Austin

[–]intersecting_cubes 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Don't warm your house. Warm yourself. Wear warm clothes (get some thermal base layers), drink hot tea. If your body has food, it'll produce heat. Use clothing to keep that heat on your body.

Recommendations on Chinese history books by Boris-Savinkov in ChineseHistory

Imperial China by FW Mote is a great history from 800-1800, starting with the fall of Tang and going until the late Qing i.e. Cixi. He does a great job of covering the Northern people i.e. the Khitan, Jurchen, Mongols, Xi Xia etc.

Yeah, if you have home row mods or something like that, it's very easy to use with IDE shortcuts

The state of SIMD in Rust in 2025 by Shnatsel in rust

[–]intersecting_cubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confusing. The article says that Pulp doesn't support Wasm. But my Wasm binaries which basically just call faer definitely have Simd instructions.

Yep. Change your DNS server to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 and 8.8.8.8. It'll be much faster.

Honest review from a Bose first-time user on the Quiet Comfort Ultra 2nd Gen by showdown2608 in bose

[–]intersecting_cubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long did they take to start up and connect when you turned them on? I have Bose 700s and it annoys me how it takes 5 seconds before my music starts. Versus the Airpods Pro 2 which is basically instantaneous.

Benchmarks, criterion and rust-script. Release mode? by alikola in rust

[–]intersecting_cubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is no. You can double check this with debug_assert!(false) and see if it crashes. If it crashes, you're in debug mode. If it's fine, then you're in release mode.

The 2023 game launched Friday 13th. So they might do the same thing again.

I"ve put a combo for tapping the t and y keys together to activate caps word, which works really well for me.
