SwitchNOW is a native Nintendo Switch homebrew client for GeForce NOW. It is distributed as an .nro and combines a controller-first Borealis launcher with native WebRTC signaling, H.264 video, Opus audio and low-latency input delivery.

After setting up nightly builds on GitHub Actions, I wanted to create a Homebrew Tap and Formula for people who sponsor me on GitHub for early access - being able to brew install is a much more pleasant onboarding experience for a new sponsor than having to compile from source.

The Switch runs an off-the-shelf Nvidia Tegra X1 with 4GB of RAM. It was Nvidias second desktop GPU architecture in a mobile chip, after the Nvidia Tegra K1, containing 256 Maxwell CUDA cores. Announced ten years ago now (On January 5, 2015) it was originally intended for tablets and the automotive industry, before Nintendo picked it up. The Jetson TX1 dev kit was released and it was also present in the somewhat popular and well-known Jetson Nano (though with only half the CUDA cores enabled.) A fully functional (albeit largely proprietary, in traditional Nvidia fashion) Linux4Tegra distribution was shipped, with a working CUDA development environment. CUDA? The compute platform that’s driving the AI revolution ✨? In my Nintendo Switch? Surely you see where I’m going with this.

ANTIRUINS Engine is a minimal game engine for the SEGA Dreamcast. The goal of this project is to offer an easy access to the SEGA Dreamcast as a creative platform. The engine can be programmed with Lua, an fast and flexible programming language. This greatly reduces the friction associated with prototyping game on the Dreamcast.

Marriage is a sacred commitment; it's no kind of small thing to consider. You need to show you mean business. You need to put some effort into a proposal. Jered McFerron did when he decided to rewrite the code for the 1986 NES classic, Metroid, in the C++ programming language. This undertaking wasn't initially to propose to his love, Jenni, but struck as an inspiration mid-project when he knew she was the gal for him.

Whenever Joe makes homebrew, I whip up some spent grain bread. All the recipes I found on the internet treated the spent grain as a sort of add-on ingredient, the way you would treat cheese or raisins. I wanted it to be the main part–it is grain, after all. That’s what bread is. So after some tweaking (there will be endless tweaking, of course), I have come up with my own version:

So you develop PHP 5.3 on a Mac? Mebbe you, like me, are a fan of Symfony2? Then you might have noticed a few deficiencies in the pre-loaded version of PHP 5.3 on your computer. Here’s how to …

"So I’ve decided to start a new batch of Apfelwein based around EdWort’s Apfelwein Recipe. Instead of following the recipe I’ll be using four gallons of apple juice and a gallon of black cherry juice. I’d also like to keep it on the “less boozey” side so I can consume a fair amount of my craft instead of just a couple of the 8.5% ABV Rocket Fuel, so I’ll only be using a pound of dextrose instead of two! However the biggest departure from the original recipe will probably be the use of Safale S-04 Ale Yeast in place of the Red Star Montrachet."

"Carbonating tap water to make seltzer is easy, fast, and absurdly inexpensive with my improvised apparatus. All that is required is to place CO2 (carbon dioxide) gas in agitated contact with chilled water for a few seconds. In this essay, I'll show you how it is done with easy-to-find parts and common PET (polyethylene terephthalate, sometimes called PETE) soda bottles. I'll also explain the kinetic chemistry of why it works so well. And in the second half of this essay, I'll explain how I progressed from this improvised apparatus to installing a complete soda fountain in my home. "

"I'm wanting to brew up a holiday spiced ale, but not in the typical "winter warmer" style. I'd like to use my Brown Ale as a base, and add orange peel, corriander, ginger and cinnamon in small amounts. I don't want to overpower the brown ale base, but have a decent amount of aroma and flavor from the spices. Here's what I'm thinking, please take a look and let me know what you think: "

Got a really late start, but I am brewing a batch of brown ale tonight. Watching little flakes of hop dance in the boil

"As lambics go, Lindemans’ products tend to be less sour, more sweet, more mainstream (compared with Boon or Cantillon, for example) and thus more approachable for the amateur homebrewer. "

"I finished wiring the audio circuitry for BMOW yesterday, which marks the end of wiring for BMOW… for version 1 at least! I took the opportunity to reflect on my wire-wrapping odyssey, and took a bazillion photos of the namesake Big Mess o’ Wires before it disappears forever into an opaque case. It’s really quite a sight. There are 1253 wires with 2506 individually-wrapped connections, and I’ve got every one logged in a spreadsheet."

"I think I'm in love: The NanoBrewMaster Home Brew Station is an infinitely configurable, 15-gallon beer-making gift from the gods. Newbie brewers like myself just set it up, forget it, and it makes beer."

"the acekard 2 is an acekard RPG - without the built-in memory or open-source firmware. The interface is by far the best of any cart available. Fast, responsive, 25 image skinning, many settings tweak able through "glabalsettings.ini", after using it for a couple minutes you'd think it was the winner of this flashcart race hands down. Thats not necessarily the case. Its still lacking quite a few features touted by its competition, such as real-time save, in-game guide, slow-motion, and integrated expansion cart support. However, if those features aren't a requisite in your purchase, the acekard 2 is definitely a winner."

"The specs are quite powerful with an Arm9 533mHZ processor and 3D Accelerator and 64 MB of ram. Looks like the PSP, DS and even the Pandora will have a fight on."
