Powerhoof and joy masher make some nice indie games.

it's more of an operating system with a text editor included :p

"Torvalds groaned and replied, "I never had a vision. I don't want one. I see myself as a plodding engineer." On that note, the interview ended to the crowd's applause."

Legend.

If only they applied the same rigor to big tech scraping the same content into large language models. I guess the bypass paywall team wasn't big enough to afford the legion of lawyers that Sam Altman and co can summon on demand. We can just wait for chatgpt to serve those articles direct to our search results and nobody will even visit their website, because we live in a world where stealing an article to read is illegal, while stealing all of them for profit is not.

Yes! That is a true masterpiece that at the time set a new standard.

3 of them:

  • watching an Amiga 500 load from disk having only seen 8bit games on tape. Everything that machine did at the time was like magic.

  • watching the castle fly through intro for Unreal on PC when the first 3D accelerators appeared. Everything changed after that.

  • experiencing the shark diving demo on PlayStation VR. And also how nothing changed after that! xD

And to have been able to experience that evolution from space invaders to cyberpunk in a single life time has been a privilege.

It's very complex with hyper visors and virtualization technology. I don't fully understand it myself in terms of how resources are allocated across something like aws or azure, but take a look at openshift vs openstack maybe. Openshift is for deploying containers and openstack is virtual machines. Openshift is kubernetes with some customizations for enterprise. Openstack is same for vm's.

Instances are virtual machines which tend to host an operating system, and a container is lighter and only hosts an application where the code and dependencies are isolated from the underlying operating system it runs on. k8 is kubernetes, which is container orchestration. I think of virtual machines for jobs that scale vertically, while containers are suited to jobs that scale horizontally. But this isn't necessarily true as kubernetes is starting to get slurm functionality using tools like sunk.

For integrating these things it depends on the application. You can run services in either by exposing ports and interact through API end points that point at them, eg for frontend web app serving data from a database hosted on a server or a container via fastapi. But I'm no dev ops engineer and the field is very complicated. There are many discussions around building micro services (containers) vs monolith (vm). Many decisions depend on the project. Hopefully some actual dev ops engineers will chime in and correct all of the above! xD

They're not hostile to new players, but there are a lot of veterans. UT2k4 is probably going to be easier than ut99 where the pace is a lot faster.
