Piracy was just as rampant on playstation 1 and just like the dreamcast, it didn't require the use of a modchip. Piracy did hurt the sales a bit (on the PS1 too), but it's definitely not why the console died.

The dreamcast issue is that no one wanted it. I was the only kid with a dreamcast in my entire school. The playstation won the previous console wars and the marketing surrounding the playstation 2 and its "emotion engine" (which in retrospect was full of bullshit and edited CGI) was so insane that it convinced people to wait for the PS2 and made them disinterested in anything that would've been released before it. You could say, Sega was already dead by the time they released the saturn as there were already very few people looking forward anything they'd make. People felt screwed by all the mediocre genesis peripherals (barely any game worth owning on megacd and 32x), the saturn did terrible, it's a miracle there was enough life left in Sega to even build the dreamcast.

Nintendo could've also died during that time period. It's only through the sheer strength of their first party titles that they could retain enough of a niche to survive. Something Sega didn't have. Sonic has never been their own Mario. They never had their Zelda or Mario and they didn't have much third party support beyond arcade developers. That really doomed the DC. EA refusing to make games for it didn't help. They tried to strongarm Sega into letting them be the only sports game developer for the platform, Sega refused and EA said they wouldn't develop for the platform then if they weren't given a monopoly on the genre.

With no strong first party games the kind that makes a ton of people buy a console solely for their sake, and with dropping third party support, the DC's sole niche was fans of arcade games, just like the Saturn. That's an extremely small niche. I still play arcade games to this day and thus keep up with the news in the genre and it's getting difficult for the specialized companies like CAVE to survive. They're now focusing on mobile games.. companies like Degica help retain the genre on lifesupport by porting the old ones to Steam but there's not much in terms of newly made games nowadays.
I have seen posts like this time after time of experienced developer eventually hating (opinionated and/or coupling) framework.

I too eventually came to a similar conclusion albeit on different platforms. Frameworks get you started quickly but you will eventually hate them. And I do mean framework and not library (there is a subtle but massive difference... yes the oxymoron was intentional).

Its even worse in Javascript land. You could rewrite this post and just insert one of the many Javascript frameworks like Angular.

India's ISRO's reusable vehicle
I have dabbled with simple whole-sky night photography with a DLSR and wanted to do more (yes, going straight against the no astrophotography advice from the article!). But as the article shows, there are simply so many options and permutations of equipment!

I would love a simple (and very approximate) web page with a few sliders and check boxes that said I have budget range X, and want to do Y and Z. It will say: "you need the following ... and these will be nice ... " And you can click "I have these", and it will go "Okay, then go and add this."

This goes for a few other grouped-purchase hobbies/undertakings. I entered similar befuddlement trying to get a reasonably sound field recording setup. There's a lot of opinion in these areas, perhaps a general "recipe" engine would be good to allow people to submit their codified advice.
Nobody designs new boiling water reactors these days. Reactors efficiency increase with temperature, that is why pressurized water is the name of the game - as it can have a much higher boiling point.

The higher temperature = better reasoning is also the reason why there is such a hype train going for reactor designs based on molten salts.

Needless to say a higher temperature also puts more strain on any material and makes safe operation generally harder.
I know the feeling. My mother's approach to computing is infuriating: If she would just READ the often perfectly simple message on the screen she could solve 90% of her problems. For the same reason as your parents ending up with Windows 10 my mother managed to install the pay-version of the free anti-virus software I had installed - when it asked here if she wanted to upgrade to the non-free version she clicked on "Yes" and then didn't dare to cancel the process...

It seems that in some people anything unexpected happening on the screen causes some of their inhibitory neurons to fire action potentials (only 10% of neurons in the brain, but an inhibitory signal has a much stronger effect than an excitatory one) - blocking entire brain circuits from contributing their output. It's probably an ancient fear response.

So the best solution isn't to educate them - that's mostly unnecessary, since their intellectual capacity is not really the problem. One would have to get them to relax, so that unexpected things happening on their computer screen don't trigger the blocking of all reason.
Yeah, sure, if we agree to do math in the system ZFC+Con(ZFC) we can prove that Yedidia's machine does not halt. But then we can just construct another machine (call it M', a n'-state turing machine) that searches for contradictions in ZFC+Con(ZFC), and now we believe that M' does not halt, but we can't prove it; and now, BB(n') can't be computed.

On a decent box Go/GIN will do about 180K, Elixir/Phoenix almost 200K, Node/Express about 90K. People are not trying to be mean but in everyone's mind the major reason to use C framework would be it offering a significant speed advantage over easier to use alternatives.
Hearthstone fixed this mana issue by having the mana automatically increase by 1 each turn, up to 10. This means that every card you draw will be a spell you can cast or a minion you can play - you at least get to play 'hearthstone' during the match.
Looks rather nice, reminiscent of drawing using Teletext (e.g. http://teletextart.co.uk/, http://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcwin/manual/bbcwinh.html).
To be fair there are competing objectives, e.g. speed and robustness.

A containment vessel at Chernobyl would have been useless. The Chernobyl disaster was a combination of poor reactor design leading to dangerous reactor physics, poor safety systems, poorly-trained staff, and an dangerous and unnecessary "experiment" being performed on the reactor (i.e. operating it in a dangerous regime). No containment building could have been strong enough to contain the explosion. The RBMK is a particularly bad design of reactor.

They are great cars, nice and quiet, very comfortable seats, good performance, full set of options (no self driving) and GM offers excellent warranty coverage. Puritans don't like the hybrid part, but the simple fact is that there isn't sufficient charging infrastructure to support pure EV cars in most places and certainly if I take a trip into the country I won't be able to charge it for the trip back, but can easily refuel. They do increase demand for power plugs at employers, residential buildings, shopping centres, etc so I think they help the cause and improve the practicality of pure EV vehicles. Take one for a test drive, my favourite comment is, "Oh, these are actually nice." There is enough EV trashing going on as it is, some people would do well to actually put some thought into their opinions before sharing them.
Commas would require changing the syntax and implementation of catch. This way exception names just become first class subjects that can be combined with an overloaded operator.
Although I went the MAME route, I have immense respect for people who restore the old cabinets. There really is nothing like stepping up to the original Star Wars, Space Harrier, or Tron cabinet. I wish I had the room for so many cabinets, and I wish arcades were a viable business model (Dave and Busters aside) to play with these old machines.
Layering two actual security measures makes sense. Layering an obscurity measure on a security measure is not really any safer than just having the security measure, just as obscurity alone is not really any safer than nothing.
But these checks could also be performed by a code analyzer/compiler, removing this burden from the runtime. (Performing the checks at runtime, means the code is only checked when it is executed, which could be at any random time.)
Commas are used in PHP as a sequence of things, not multiple options. This single-pipe notation is already established as the further-up comments states.
The real joke is how screwed up client side programming is. Here's a library that's an insider/hipster joke but it's only obviously a joke to hipster/insiders.
If you are using virtual address space as your only method -- no reallocation when you hit certain boundaries -- don't you need to pick starting addresses way in the middle of nowhere? That could be problematic.

Imagine a work queue which is pushing items onto one end of the devector and popping them off the other. It pushes 1 item each nanosecond and pops at a similar rate, so the devector never actually grows large. You want the process to run for several years, so you allocate room for 3.16 x 10^17 items on either side of the starting address, and largest you want each item to be is 8 bytes.

Bam, you've want about 2^62 bytes for a single devector. You can fit 4 of those into your 64-bit address space before you run the risk of two of them overwriting each other and needing to add special handling to prevent that, which would eliminate the code benefits.

(Incidentally, this does answer a question that came up the other day: why would you need a 128-bit address space? If you had 128 bits of memory address space, you could give each container its own 64-bit address space, and never run out.)

Houston has super neighborhoods many of which have deed restrictions which accomplish similar things. Houston is a happy a good way to go. As you can have a poor super neighborhood next to a rich one. But I still hear some people in the rich super neighborhood complaining about the deed restrictions, the only thing separating them from their neighbors across the super neighborhood line. They could have bought in the other super neighborhood, but they didn't want that either...
Sure there are, there are going to be corner cases no matter how you slice it. But the people with more power should be the people held to a higher standard.

The guy who doesn't have commit access can't be blamed for breaking the build because if someone accepted his pull request without vetting it properly, now that's on them. See how this works? It's straightforward. More power, more responsibility. Don't like that? Don't become a police officer.

There are plenty of existing professions where people get to second guess what you do; doctors and nurses can be sued for malpractice, engineers who stamp drawings can lose their license and more if a building falls down, pilots can easily lose their life if they mess up badly enough.

I don't see how saying "there are SOME bad cops and there's no way to tell a priori who they are so for the sake of public safety everyone has to wear a camera because these incidents are relatively rare and that's the only way to be sure"

How to get started with roadmaps for your customers
This isn't 'lying' or 'deception' in any sense of the words. News outlets are calling it a space shuttle because they are either misinformed, confused, or just trying to find a form of words that will be familiar to a layman and confer a general sense of what is being attempted while not striving for, or caring too much about, technical accuracy.

Off topic - It's a little sad when people's first reaction to a mistake or inaccuracy is to immediately claim it as a deliberate attempt to mislead or other malicious act, and I see this a lot. Generally in Internet arguments the response to someone making an incorrect statement seems to be to call them a liar, as though they are deliberately misstating things, rather than simply being wrong...

Some of this could also be attributed to the fact that Hack also borrowed heavily. While I'm sure a lot of it came from playing with Hack and saying "wow, this should be how PHP7 does things," it might also be recognition from use in other languages (Java specifically).

AWS Lambda is not ready for prime time, but not for the reason the author states.

Lambda are unpredictable which is probably its biggest downfall. You can get Super fast deployment and execution one second, the next you're getting random execution failures out of your control.

Lambda often feels like its unsupported by AWS. It took them over a year to support the latest version of node.

Java perf is terrible and support should either be dropped or fixed. Go really should be supported out of the box.

Responses from lambda are not flexible.

Deployment of lambda is frustrating, and the inability to execute a lambda from SQS is even more frustrating.

Could go on.
Mastering is a subject about which a great deal of mumbo jumbo is talked, but a very important point that this article does put across well is the necessity of making sure the music sounds good across a wide variety of playback environments. Unfortunately, this kind of "optimizing for all cases" comes at the expense of how good the music can sound in any one environment.

(For example, a lot of people will have heard recordings that produce incredibly detailed spacial perception, but only when listened to on headphones - and which sound pretty poor on loudspeakers.)

We got into this situation because of the economies of mass produced physical media, but we largely don't have those constraints any more. Since the cost of digital distribution is basically a rounding error, we could be producing different releases optimized for different settings and letting the listener choose which is the most appropriate for them.

while obviously fairly painful, am assuming that came from the Stratfor list ? While I concede a piece of paper is far from secure, I'm human and what I do others do too, I would have faired better had I followed my own advice. Conveniently your point does re-inforce they key aspect of my comment, that if Stratfor, a global intelligence company, can fall foul of security then there really are very few safe ports to rely on harbouring your secrets ;) Btw, thanks for not locking me out, gentlemanly of you.

In my experience of using the service, and Montreal is a much smaller city than London (where I am from), you don't want a car every weekend. I was usually able to find a car for hire as long as I booked in advance (esp for Bank Holiday type weekends) but sometimes it meant going to a different location than the one right next to me. As the system get's more popular and more people use it then they are able to purchase more cars.

> It doesn't save on cars that's for sure

I disagree. Several of my friends also used the service, just between us that saved having several cars. If you need a car all weekend, every weekend then the service is probably not for you. But if, like me, you needed it every so often then it saved a lot of money over the course of a year.

Think of it as a daily sales report. Sometime (any time) during day the admin user clicks a button which launches the job. The fastest I've seen an EC2 instance booting is about 45 seconds, which is too slow for my needs. A cold-start for Lambda is less than 100ms.
> Introduction of the single pipe operator to represent OR instead of a double pipe operator is baffling in my opinion.

I kind of understand it since it's not a traditional OR operation and intends to keep and associate the matching values, but maybe something like

catch (Exception $e in (Exceptions...))

would make it clearer. Either way, it's so close to feeling like an OR operation that I feel like it will be a lot of debugging when you forget this.
You can't just say that things are either adhoc or not adhoc - it's a spectrum. On one end we will have engineers coming up with architectures by consulting a RNG and then testing out those architectures. On the other end we will have a theory, the theory will make 100% good predictions about which designs will perform well, and we can just send send those designs to a factory to fabricate into asics, no testing needed.

The adhoc-ness of how we design neural net architectures, CPUs, GPUs, high-temperature suerconductors, etc all fall on this spectrum, just at different places.

pron's original comment made it sound like designing NNs were on the extreme ad-hoc end of the spectrum, I was just refuting that.

You forget what happens after they're 17, thoroughly indoctrinated (which seems to mean absolutely NO knowledge of maths, physics, the local language, and God forbid biology or evolution).

At that age, they're thrown in the streets. Very little help, even from their parents.

Needless to say, these kids cannot go to university, nor can they get a job (not to say that the 10% smartest amongst them don't find a way, but generally speaking).

Now there isn't any large Western European city that doesn't have 50000 such people. Paris, Brussels, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Cologne, ... all have this.

These people will never join western society. They will never have a job that pays anything but the barest minimum of wages. And they will be aggressive and resent everything around them.

3. Something can be a good idea when done in small quantities, and a terrible idea when taken to extremes.

His argument is that Watson supposedly doesn't have an opinion on ISIS. While I don't know if that is even true, it seems like a very weak argument. Even if it could only "think" in a very limited domain, it could still be useful.

The author mentions himself that today's 20somethings have never heard of Bob Dylan, yet uses Watson's alleged ignorance of Dylan to dismiss it. Yet 20somethings are thinking entities.

Mostly it sounds like sour grapes, because his 1984 book didn't receive the recognition he thinks it deserves.
This argument often comes up and I'm genuinely curious why people think Django is less "magic" than Rails, in my experience it has been the opposite.

My experience with Django (for instance: class-based views and admin parts) is actually that you have dozens of magical classes or methods and if you don't know them all, you're screwed. Often when I try to do something, many aswers on StackOverflow boil down to "just override a_method_that_is_hidden_somewhere()" or "just use ListButWithSpecificBehaviorView(), easy you see?".

Are there any specific example you have in mind where Rails do something magical that requires more code in Django but where Django is more explicit?

Yes, there are, but in my opinion, for it to be a circular buffer, it should wrap the end of the data back round to the front when the end of the queue reaches the end of the buffer.

Inserting 4 into:

[x, x, x, 1, 2, 3]

Produces:

[4, x, x, 1, 2, 3]

In a circular buffer, and:
