      • GNOMEChristian Hergert: Writing Fast Search

        The problem we encountered in my last writing was that gnome-clocks was taking about 300 milliseconds to complete a basic search query. I guess the idea is that if you type “paris” into GNOME Shell you’ll get the time in either Paris, France or one of the Paris’ in the United States. I guess 300 milliseconds wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t also consume 100% of the CPU during that time.

        Thankfully in my career I’ve had plenty of opportunity to work with database search indexes. So I have some practical experience in making that stuff fast(er).

        So this morning I put together a small search index which can be generated from the Locations.bin using the libgweather API. That search index contains the serialized document form and a series of trigrams for the GWeatherLocation textual representation. That search index is meant to be static and installed along side Locations.bin.

        The Mac has taken a back seat to Linux as the number two operating system in use by customers of Valve Software's Steam gaming service, according to the company's most recently polled survey data.

        Windows is still far and away the most commonly used OS by Steam players, capturing 96.21% of the total. Linux totaled a 1.96% share, with macOS pulling up the rear at 1.84%.

        This marks the first time Linux has edged out the Mac. Valve polls its Steam users monthly as a way to "make decisions about what kinds of technology investments to make and products to offer."

        SMLIGHT A1-SLWF-03 is a Home Assistant-compatible addressable RGB LED strip controller based on an ESP32 WiFi and Bluetooth microcontroller that supports 5V to 24V LED strips. The unit is equipped with a built-in digital microphone used by the Sound Reactive WLED firmware to make the RGB LED strip follow the rhythm and tempo of the music, an IR receiver, and a sensor button. SMLIGHT A1-SLWF-03 specifications: SoC – ESP32 dual-core microcontroller with WiFi 4, Bluetooth 4.2/5.x, and 16Mbit flash 4-pole terminal block for RGB LED strips Supported strips – WS2812B, WS2811, WS2813, WS2815, APA102, LPD8806, WS2801, SK9822. Voltage Range – 5-24V DC Up to 2,000 LEDs are supported at 35 fps with two outputs or 3,000 LEDs at 25 fps with two outputs (about 33 to 50-meter LED strips with 60x LEDs per meter) Multiple A1-SPWF-03 controllers can be synced together for controlling even more LED strips.

        Hailo introduced the Hailo-8 AI accelerator offering up to 26 TOPS in 2020, and we’ve found it integrated into many designs since then. The company has now launched a cost-down version with the Hailo-8L AI accelerator delivering up to 13 TOPS for more cost-sensitive entry-level edge devices, or workloads that do not require the more powerful Hailo-8. Hailo says the Hailo-8L offers low-latency, high-efficiency processing, and is capable of handling pipelines with multiple real-time streams and concurrent processing of multiple models and AI tasks. The new Hailo-8L is compatible with the Hailo-8 and relies on the same Hailo-8 software suite, so they could be integrated into existing designs for cost savings.

      • Adrian Gaudebert: Dawnmaker's endless conundrum of infinite replayability

        Over the last few months we've had the opportunity to show Dawnmaker to a lot of people, and notably a few publishers. We had the good fortune of receiving very valuable feedback on the game, which allowed us to identify two important problems with it, or at least, with its demo. The first problem is that our artistic direction isn't compelling enough, but that will not be today's topic — though we are, of course, working on it.

        The problem we're going to discuss today it that of replayability. Some of our players, and most of the publishers we talked to, have expressed that they do not feel inclined to restart a game after they lose. Once you've understood the patterns of the game, restarting a new game feels like doing the same thing again, and it is boring. That feeling was especially pronounced for players losing in the 2nd or 3rd region of the demo: you have to restart at level one, a level that you have already mastered and don't feel like going through again.
