Also, by virtue of the fact that the Deck and Steam Machine are de-facto PCs, if they made those products loss-leaders, they would get bought up to use for non-gaming purposes and reduce availability for their intended audience. The same thing happened to the PS3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_cluster
The real indicator of global warming.
Goto CAN be readable, it’s true.
The problem is that it’s easy to make code that is LESS readable; in order to prevent horrible unmaintainable spaghetti, it is forbidden nearly everywhere. A lot of coding ‘rules’ are really just ways to try to cut down on stupid coding practices by greenhorns and enforce code maintainability.
That’s because it’s not. It’s ignoring the meme format and just using the image without the context.
It’s pointing out the conflict between two coding ideals - first, reducing duplicate code so that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel and/or copy-paste code (which often means making calls to libraries) which is represented by the red penguin facing right, and second, wanting to reduce dependencies so that external variables are reduced (which would mean including code in your codebase that otherwise would be an external library call) which is represented by the blue penguin facing left.
The closer you get towards one ideal, the further away you get from the other.
IF and GOTO are the only flow control we need; everything else is for cowards.
Took me a bit. I was staring at it for a while thinking ‘What part of this is socially awkward?’
If a fairy asks “Can I have your name?” They aren’t being polite, they’re trying to take your name away.
Except the major AI players are drastically increasing their prices…
I’d say maybe it’s a grasshopper mouse, but if that were the case, those bugs would be eaten by now.
You’re ignoring the fact that you have to:
Crypto is many things, but it isn’t exactly as friendly as a credit card provided by your bank. Or PayPal, for that matter.
Nope, Monster Girl Academy got the axe too.

When you consider that the main driving factor for the Steam Machine is to make it easier and more appealing for people to purchase games on Steam, they’re kinda in a bind anyways.
There’s a good chance you have the wrong version of the disc. There were two versions in the USA; the second version patched out some glitches.
Eh. It’s still AI in the same way all prior instances of neural networks are AI. The actual level of intelligence is irrelevant to whether or not it qualifies; it is meant to imitate intelligent behavior, thus it is AI.
Otherwise the term wouldn’t make sense to use for entities in games.
At this point, the hardware is almost certainly locked in. They were originally expecting to ship these things by now; supply issues are the primary reason they aren’t in gamers’ hot little hands already.
The software, on the other hand, is probably getting some extra polish with this extra time.
What? The thing we were all saying was going to happen is happening???
The RAM and SSD have gotten that much more expensive to source. Anyone who sells a product with similar components either raises their price, or takes a loss.
Even laggy crap DDR4 RAM is at almost $6/GB; DDR5 (like the Deck uses) is double that. The absolute cheapest appropriate-sized 512GB M.2 drive is $100, from a no-name brand. The whole market has gone down the tubes thanks to AI companies buying up absolutely everything.
