I'm guessing they'll use the same emulator design as they have on the 3DS, where a number of the listed games are available.
It says you can use the wii Classic controller, which is wireless
I'm not sure it's an awareness problem? Google works and there just isn't an incentive to go elsewhere.
You may have other recourse. Many local governments restrict the number of unrelated occupants in a housing unit based on size, number of bedrooms, etc. to prevent exactly this. It's a big fire safety concern in addition to being a burden on neighbors. In any case, review your local regs.
I'm curious, with a sweeping statement like "EU bureaucrats are jealous of US internet companies", who are you referring to? Is it EU as whole, or individuals who have a personal stake in creating EU internet companies? Because from an outside perspective, this statement seems a lot like tin foil hattery, but if you do have anything to back up your claim, I'm all ears.
This doesn't make sense? The editor is open source. You can install it on your computer right now. They even provide instructions on how to do it.

They can implement it without buying the company.

Even if the license doesn't allow it, the license for ACE surely does and ACE is the meat of the editor.

Maybe they want the team because they want to move the product in a certain direction? I don't know.

And yet that's exactly what you are doing in your entire comment, drawing parallels that are not equivalent and then sweeping under the rug the racial issues as nonexistent. You are discounting the experience of the vast majority of black Americans.
Probably because the SNES was where I'd say "modern" games came into being. By this I mean games with complex plot and/or diverse game mechanics etc. The NES had games where we started to see that, like Final Fantasy or Super Mario 3, but the hardware was super limited and the NES was in a lot of ways more like an extension of the old arcade systems, while IMO the SNES was where Nintendo had something that was powerful enough to make games that were substantially different from arcade games.
The difference is that when I am sending files to the press, the press cares if I have sent CMYK, and they do not care if I have used an open-source program. Personally, I prefer to use open-source when I can, but if it doesn't do what I need to do, then the difference is not 'silly'. It's an obstacle.
Better than a GUI which has no options like just about everything created by a designer today.
At this point, just rerelease the original?
The full text PNAS article is here : http://m.pnas.org/content/111/20/7224.full.pdf?with-ds=yes

Some notes. The study started with a pool of 13 new and 9 old instruments, and pre-selected down to the test set of the best 6 new and 6 old among these.

Among the test set, new instruments had a slightly higher average score than old ones, and the top two instruments were new. But all soloists picked a mix of new and old instruments in their top 4, and in the overall rankings new and old are well mixed. From high to low based on combined session scores, the list goes NNOONNOONONO.

Of the soloists, 7 prefer an old instrument for their performances, 2 a new one, and 1 switches between an old and new.
Even if the antitrust does stick, I wonder what the practical results would be. If it requires Google to use a different policy for google.uk, google.fr, &c about how they rank their data, that's something they could do. If it requires them to make changes to google.com, then we have a bit of a problem; google.com is the US search 'face', and European law shouldn't restrict what the company can do internationally. Yet customers in Europe can get to google.com just as easily as google.uk, so would there be any real practical benefit to restricting Google's practices here?
You should look up the history of Tetris on the NES. It's an interesting story and probably still why it can't be included here.

Interestingly, not even the maker of the top instrument (which garnered 26 points against the Stradivarius) knows about the result. It was deliberately kept hidden.

I really hope they let the world know - something this good needs to be celebrated and rewarded. It is unfair otherwise.
I'm amazed noone here has mentioned RetroPie[1]. A model B Raspberry Pi or even a Zero (if you can get one) should play NES games perfectly fine. You can get USB NES controller adapters pretty cheap or some knock-off USB NES controllers instead. I have a SNES-USB adapter for my setup that takes two SNES controllers.

Bright Idea for ECommerce to Cut Down the Customer Acquisition Cost
Developers are quite conservative of their environment, but a cloud IDE could be awesome.

I want to write code on a 2 lb MacBook, with continuous build-as-you-type in the cloud on a fleet of Xeons that have larger CPU caches than my entire project.

Have 5, 50, 500 tests that need to run? Run them all in parallel continuously and get immediate red/green feedback in your IDE. Behind the scenes Lambda takes horizontal scaling from minutes/seconds down to milliseconds, so go radically horizontal.

I want my editor, exactly as I left it, down to the open tabs and cursor position, on any machine. And pair-programming Google docs simultaneous-edit style, without either party giving up the ability to run/debug the software on their own.

What if the FaaS/Lambda lifecycle management was tightly integrated in the IDE? Working on, testing, versioning and publishing a function could be re-imagined in a non-file centric way.

You are comfortable with Windows as a dev environment, and that's fine. But consider that for many of us, it's like the mirror image of what you just said: I find the Windows environment painful to develop with, at least out of the box. Everything about Windows irks me. Linux (Ubuntu in my case, but there are many great distros) works as a dev environment almost out of the box for me. I never have problems mounting USB drives; most tools I use assume Linux by default, and it's usually their Windows version that's more buggy and/or hard to install. I know how to tune everything to my satisfaction, which I wouldn't know how to do with Windows.

Instead, every time I use Windows I get a papercut.

(To get this back on topic: I love and use GIMP, and I particularly love that a Free alternative to Photoshop exists, but I agree it's very complex and its interface is a mess).
If we're counting ported games, I might count Donkey Kong on the NES as their first attempt, though I'm sure someone can find an earlier example.
you know about robots.txt right?
Note that in 2010 study, the test asked the question "which of these violins would you like to take home?", not "which of these do you think is a Stradivarios?" (see http://www.thestrad.com/cpt-latests/stradivari-loses-out-in-...)

The follow-up study seemed to ask a similar question.

So these studies tried to find out which violins are most popular among high class violin players, not (primarily) whether they were able to tell the difference.

I've read elsewhere about the first study that the the participants were quite surprised that people thought they couldn't identify the Stradivarius, because they were never asked to.

That's a cute idea, but my NES classic edition is my phone / tablet - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.explusalph...

That said, I'd buy this thing from Nintendo if you could add games to it. I'd give them an extra $1 or $2 per game. Gotta have Tetris & RCR!
Intel tried to do the right thing three times:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_iAPX_432

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_i960

https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/docum...

Backward compatibility with insecure apps, language, and OS features above all else is what market said. That plus raw speed. The above projects collectively cost Intel over a billion dollars that they didn't make back. i432 died for sure. i960 is in legacy mode with security features turned off or removed. Itanium is in downward spiral. Realistically, they should just modify x86 to support C safety like Cambridge's CHERI or other group's Hardbound are doing. Then, they get compatibility + safety.

They're probably just too afraid to make another attempt after loosing a billion to a market that said "F* security or software maintenance." Giving them the insecure crap they demand is actually the ethical choice in capitalism given they'll put you out of business otherwise. Only two that ever made it with a Right Thing approach were Burroughs B5000 and System/38 (aka AS/400). Both turned off hardware security due to user demand (performance over security) but kept OS architecture. Both still sell.

Migrating jQuery to Knockout
At my current workplace, we are creating some fairly large .NET MVC portals on fairly short timescales.

The general opinion seems to be quantity over quality, which doesn't sit well with me and I'm pushing back to try and make things better. Currently all of our UI code is provided by an external agency, and they send full HTML / CSS / JS packages that we plug in to our MVC apps. The problem is the massive spaghetti jquery code that as time goes on just gets far too complicated to be easily maintainable.

I'm being asked for a rough estimate for migrating this provided jquery code to something like knockout so we can decide if it's worth the time spent on it. Any rough guesses for a fairly large application? (I realise this is a very hard question with a lot of variables to think about!)
One easy way to remember which is which: Recall the term "command line arguments." That will remind you that arguments are what's passed to the function. So, parameters are what's declared/defined in the function.
If its one thing I'd rather not augment my reality with its more ads
The threshold for antitrust really ought to be higher than "it's the default" in an ecosystem where the alternative is as easy to reach as the original.

I'd be more concerned if it were impossible to use an iPhone to search with Bing., or a chrome browser to search with DDG.
> When someone writes about a function argument I immediately know that code gets executed, but when someone talks about a parameter I know that he’s looking at some declaration or definition!

It might not lead to something being done incorrectly, but I do think it can make communication easier. My initial opinion was that the author was being pedantic, but the above example changed my mind. I've actually had conversations where this distinction would've made everything simpler.
Yeah, Ansel was actually kind of famous for the way he would produce different versions of famous images over the years.

Kudos to the team that made that. I'm curious if they thought to approach Nintendo and if Nintendo would have been interested (I don't think they were into mobile yet).

FYI Pokemon Go is based on (and by the same people I think) as Ingress [1] which has been around since 2013.

Although, Pokemon the challenge of the app has been scaling it due to it's instant popularity. The "find Pokemon on an actual map" part is in my opinion not the biggest challenge.

As others have pointed out, Google also had something similar.

The thing is, there is a good chance that they aren't explicitly preferring their own products, just that they are the most popular products.

They are trying to find what people want to see when they search. If most people who search "email" want Gmail, then it should be at the top.

It's going to be almost impossible to prove that they aren't just better than the competitors at finding what people want vs manipulating search results in their favor.
The Wii Classic Controller is most certainly wired, just it's wired to the wireless Wii Remote. You may be thinking of the Wii U Pro Controller which is fully wireless.

Why You Should Believe in the Digital Afterlife
«I can be programming something in Visual Studio on my desktop and then an hour later I decide to use my laptop and it hasn't syncd»

It sounds like you are looking for an almost live real-time sync. It's not really a use case I think OneDrive has ever prioritized. Certainly it tries its best, but I remember having a lot of issues with the timeliness of OneDrive sync in Windows 8. (It feels like sync has gotten better in 10's client, even with the two steps back in usability.)

I don't think they are intentionally sabotaging it; I would suspect it's more that you've found edge cases in the sync platform.

That said, you may want to consider a different sync platform intended for closer to real-time sync. BitTorrent Sync has been useful to me in that category.
This would probably work great as a Raspberry Pi case. Too bad the connectors on the front aren't USB, although I'd probably use Bluetooth for controllers anyway.
It is in my opinion a fair analogy, because people don't know that Google is doing it. They won't even drive to the next search engine to begin with, and simply accept Google's highest search ranking as being really popular.
I feel your pain man. They're a lot of insecure posers out there who would like to show you that they know more than you do. And often fail miserably at proving their point.
Completely beside the point. Airtel is obviously looking at the HTTP host header.
So this means that the next time someone says to me "I don't like X genre" or "I only listen to Jazz" I am allowed to murder them in their sleep for being uncultured musical xenophobes....right?

Emulators/knock-offs is probably a large reason why Nintendo is releasing this. Just wished they had went a little step further and released a version that came preloaded with every NES/SNES game. They probably could have gotten away with charging $150+ for something like that while simultaneously killing the knock off market.
Everything you wanted to know about JavaScript scope
As long as we're being pedantic, it's definitely 'fewer'. 'Less' is only used in cases where you couldn't conceptually talk about a single instance of the thing being described. 'Less distance', but 'fewer miles'; 'less abstraction', but 'fewer layers of abstraction'. Even if in practice it may be difficult to find the edges of a single layer of abstraction, the word 'layers' is still metaphorically talking about a collection of individual items, and whenever this is the case we use 'fewer'.

Same experience here: in Linux everything I want works by default or I can configure it easily. In Windows I have to jump through a bunch of hoops with third party tools to get there.

I'm a developer though, for most people it doesn't really make a difference. It's just a matter of being used to something. My girlfriend liked Ubuntu a lot for the graphics (she asked me to install it after seeing me use Linux Mint and Debian for a year or so), but eventually switched back to Windows because a single website wouldn't work (some flash player thing, which Adobe stopped supporting) and she's just more used to working with Microsoft Office 2007, Windows Live Mail (or whatever they call it these days), and the general Windows 8.1 workflow.
