I remember the January when the gaming market really crashed... the Atari games for 1600/7200 were dirt cheap at Toys R Us... In retrospect, I'd have been happier with Sega at the time... They had more games that I actually liked.
The stores themselves aren't losing money if there's a natural disaster.. the farm does, the distributor likely does.. but not the store. The store just raises prices against future inventory pricing, often ahead of the inventory itself.
I think there's a lot of room to grow in terms of ray/path tracing, etc... but I think it's studios and not real-time gaming that will really see the benefits near term. Bamers Nexus did an interview with a new Graphics MFG that's working more into that direction, but their near term focus is the professional space.
May just take a look at it... I'm not doing much with OpnSense, I'm running RPi on a separate system, that I'd like to integrate into DNS on the router itself, but that's about it. The only other feature I want to use but haven't configured is auto failover to a cellular modem. It's cheap, and enough for work, but not great for heavy use.
I'm largely there with you... Cloudflare Durable Objects feel like the best means to implement a sequential number generator. I think a lot about mail and message systems... part of why I'd been really excited to see what CF had started with in terms of mail systems support. They've got really great natural privatives for a first class, modern mail and message systems. In practice, handling updates to threads or simpler value assignment/alias DO is just such a great fit.
For reference, part of where the thought exercises are for is in terms of replicating what might have been a traditional BBS message net, but a massive hub for such activity on Cloudflare hosting. Some pieces burrowed from FTN (Fidonet technology) but some rethinking in terms of more modern capabilities in practice.
Absolutely... They've been able to make a lot of games just fun even if the graphics aren't stellar. To this day, I wish they'd have released a Wii Sports Golf as a separate title with several courses.
Web-rings were really common in the later 90's... Mostly based on topic or focus of the site(s) in question. It was a common discovery mechanism... you'd usually have prev/next/random/list links, where you could navigate via prev or next, but also jump to a random site int he ring or to a list of sites in the ring.
It's nice to see some old ideas like this come back... also hoping to see more self-hosted conversational sites around topics of interest (bulletin boards) over the giant social media sites we have today.
I would add that a lot of that extra code is often in test/demo paths... I tend to think of working with an Agent as a "team" of 1 + agent... where the developer is now wearing a QA and PM hat in addition to lead/sr dev. That the work getting done is now roughly the offset of what a team would have produced and that coordination needs to step back and treat each individual with an agent as roughly a dev team. Coordination overhead and mythical man month still apply, just at a layer up.
Cool, unless you sometimes go weeks or a couple months without printing and everything gums up... I've never seen an ink printer that doesn't. I tend to favor laser, only because I can go months without printing and then fire off a print job, and it comes out without issue.
The continuous feed is nice though... I can see this used for banners like in the old sheet fed dot-matrix days... Print Shop Pro FTW!
For a redis cache? I think you're way over-valuing the effort it takes to keep a redis instance running.
For a persistent store.. sure... but that's true for PostgreSQL as well, which has some pretty painful major version migrations by comparison to other options.
