I'm really happy to hear that, I still have and occasionally use my steam controller, I quite liked it.

Completed stray with it and a steamlink.

It doesn't help that its not well named, realtime makes it sound fast.

One of the few things I remembered from my degree was the realtime programming course, because we got to program a model train set in Ada, on a 286(?), running on floppies. This was in ~2015, so ancient hardware even then, and it was slow, but it was "realtime".

Interestingly, my compsci degree never covered O notation, so that I've had to pick up along the way :/

When I last looked into it, many years ago, RT definitely did negatively impact average latency. It was slower, but consistent. Has that actually changed?

[–] CameronDev 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

At low numbers, it doesnt matter. If you exqgerate the numbers the effect is more clear.

Eg. if the latency was 100ms, it would feel your movments are behind by 100ms, which would be unplayable.

But if you had a typical latency of 10ms, with rare spikes to 1s, the spikes would be considered lag, and annoying, but most of the time its good and playable.

Realtime doesn't necessarily mean low latency, it means consistent latency.

So if the latency from and input takes 1s, that is realtime, as long as its always 1s.

Typically for gaming you want the lowest latency possible, and at least historically, that meant not realtime.

Edit: Some examples with made up numbers:

Airbag: you want an airbag to go off EVERY time, and if that means it takes 10ms, thats usually OK. RT guarantees that your airbag will go off 10ms after a crash every time.

Games: you want your inputs handled ASAP, ideally <5ms, but if one or two happen after 100ms, you'll likely not notice. If you enable RT, maybe all your inputs get handled after 10ms consistently, which ends up feeling sluggish.

Unless you know you need RT, you probably dont actually want it.

Redhat were very successful with the open source, but paid support model, so it could happen.

Inertia would be hard to overcome, anyone using sales force right now is probably not gonna want to risk a newcomer.

Oh, my bad, I thought it was like a coffee thing :/

~~Tangent: That sounds like a bad idea for food safety. And I'm referring to both the original and the recreation. If it were for myself, I would buy something made of metal.~~ edit: Thought it was a coffee thing, disregard.

On topic: Could you clean up the holes with a hot needle and some patience? PETG tends to be very stringy, which is probably the reason the holes are not well defined. Maybe try tuning your printer to minimise stringing?

Bizarrely, I had never heard of this before, and I am Australian. So maybe it was released, but maybe quietly swept under the rug?

I think we can agree that Chrome is the new IE, the real question should be, "what will be the new Firefox?".

I switched to Firefox almost across the board, but because they refuse to support WebSerial, I still need Chrome. Will be interesting to see if anyone can unseat chrome

I dont think this is a wise stance. The internet actually forgets a lot, and unless things are explicitly and intentionally archived, stuff gets lost all the time.

Isnt that exactly what minikube is? Kubernetes in docker.

I've used docker-in-docker images, but its usually not fun.
