I too recently went down this route, while my experience with Retropie was relatively smooth, I'd would recommend also giving Recalbox and Lakka a try, I feel they're a bit more polished atm (at the cost of limited configuration). Recalbox uses EmulationStation simular to Retropie, while Lakka uses libretro. I settled on Recalbox.

It's not free for companies from a certain size on. I am not even talking about the money but just the effort of tracking licenses.
In my experience, most small things like this that people do are very intentional.
In my experience it's by talking to lots of people, focusing on those who you suspect "should" have solved it and asking them in great detail about the problem itself. Additionally you'll find that in many cases those with the problem will be happy to tell you either jury-rigged attempts from the past or point you to those who have tried. Interviewing many people is key.
That's a catch-22, and most often just an excuse used by people to self-justify.

That's at least loads better than the money never reaching the government as tax and thus never becoming a matter of public record. Such publicly recorded "corrupt bullshit" are significantly easier to fight than the silent menace of black money.

> Governments (esp Indian) have been historically self serving and power hungry.

Projecting past governments' performance onto the current one and keeping your money hoarded, means that this govt doesn't have enough money to do significant good, which in turn helps such people justify to themselves that "the government doesn't do anything with it anyway". Thus the catch-22.

While the Modi government is nowhere near some "Ram Rajya" (said phrase being part of the problem), it's at least taking several steps in the right direction, and placing a little trust in it to spend the tax money reasonably well seems like a gamble with pretty good odds at this point.
No, that's a legal fiction. It becomes useless as soon as there's no way to extract value from a briefcase of Rs.500 and Rs.1000 notes. Tomorrow, someone can trade it in to the Bank of India in exchange for new notes, it's just that this someone needs a plausible reason for holding the money - they have to have paid taxes on enough income that they could theoretically have legal reasons to possess the money. This does not have to be the current owner turning the money in, it can be anyone the current owner pays a premium to in exchange for clean bills.

So tomorrow, the money will need to be laundered in order to help the owner. But a few months down the line, the Bank of India stops taking deposits, and the money becomes actually useless.

Is this true? I thought the C99 standard just specified that the guaranteed minimum size is 1 byte. I've been using CHAR_BIT to define this.
I've never purchased most these games because they weren't previously available to me at a reasonable price. (SMS as a kid, remakes for GBA were expensive, etc. etc.) For me, this product is pretty darned attractive. I tend to enjoy classic games more than most modern ones, and it gives me a much-desired way to play retro games without pirating them, at a pretty darn decent price.

The only thing that could be better is if they were to just sell all the games bundled up in one application on GOG or Steam. I'd much rather have the option to play them on my laptop than be tethered to a TV all the time.
Automatically Comparing Memory Consistency Models
What I meant in my comment was that Blue Apron seems pitched toward people who don't normally cook (i.e. they eat out/get takeout) and are relatively insensitive to price but would consider doing so if they could push a button and have all the ingredients and instructions delivered.

I mostly agree with your assessment though. I have a pretty well-stocked pantry, a thick binder of recipes, and Blue Apron et al don't really solve a problem I have to any great degree. As you say, they're not really quick weeknight meals and I really have to plan when I'll have a week where 3 meals + leftovers fit with my schedule.

I wouldn't rule out trying one of these services again but they don't fit me especially well--and are pricey.

I'm going to come out and say I think the article over played its hand in trying to describe a riff between the two companies.

Once a company gets big enough you'll find that it often both competes and partners with the same company at the same time.

It's just inevitable, as the salesforce trying out Microsoft's Azure while competing with Microsoft's Dynamics arm.

Good CEO's are pragmatic, almost out of necessity, as being inflexible is the quickest way to become unemployed.

I'll go out on a limb here and state that I believe that salesforce will eventually be owned by Microsoft.

it gives Microsoft 3 things.

1) Enough revenue to make a dent in Microsoft's growth.

Remember the old saying that Microsoft has to grow by one eBay each year just to keep wall street happy. Sales force is big enough to move the needle for Microsoft.

2) it provides a cap stone customer for Azure.

I think Azure is fully featured and mature enough that everyone will consider it to be in the same category as amazon or google's cloud offering but, this checks off a box for Fortune 500 CTO's who need to see a big customer using it.

Something Something something ... never getting fired for buying IBM

3) Sales force is going up against oracle and Microsoft here. They are just learning what Yahoo when through.

Trying to compete against competitors who have cash cow monopolies in other areas that allow them to fund a business to compete against you really gets tough quickly.

Salesforce is well run and has a great start but billions of dollars a year in almost guaranteed profit gives companies alot of time and opportunity to compete and fail over and over again until they get it right.
There won't be another SV just like there won't be another NYC for Finance in the US - they become monuments and the skills gradually disperse till it just becomes what everyone does (FL, NC, NJ have seen significant uptick in finance from NYC).

The next X is going to be a field currently undervalued, it'll be small companies because the initial opportunities are too small, they'll likely be in an area that is balanced to low cost-proximity to market (if applicable) (does anyone remember what a ghetto Palo Alto and Milpitas was a few decades ago?), and it'll be largely unregulated (that comes after when the big boys want to shut the door behind them).

I'm thinking this next wave could be a few things, but summed up by machine intelligence - machine learning underpinned by IoT, alt energy, energy storage, next gen comms, etc. Or it's local maxima and time for a WWIII board clearing.

>> Risk seekers are drawn to being first, and they're prone to impulsive decisions. Risk-adverse entrepreneurs watch from the sidelines, waiting for the right opportunity and balancing their risk portfolios before entering.

SO much wisdom in this. It's actually really smart to see a company jump into a market, make several failures and then you can slide in without having to take the amount of risk the "first to market" companies had to take.

Tons of real world examples. The most obvious is how Apple iphones were designed and then copied by the rest of the industry. Samsung, et al allowed Apple to define what users wanted, then piggy backed their design to take advantage of the popularity of their design without sacrificing the risk to find out for themselves, or develop something cough original cough.

The Supreme Court did not strike down the campaign-finance portions of McCain-Feingold, only those provisions forbidding corporations and unions from disseminating certain types of media messages before an election.

So money is no more speech post-Citizens United than it was before; i.e., inasmuch as it costs money to produce television, film, or video.
The main source of confusion here is that "your bank account" is actually two different entities whose numeric value happens to be the same:

1) On your books, it is an asset account.
2) On the bank's books, it is a liability account.

When a bank says "your account was debited", they are talking about entity #2. That is, "the account on our books associated with 'you'".

But when you yourself think of the account, you think of thing #1.

Let's say you deposit some cash into your account at the bank. That means you are lending the bank the money (extending it credit). The bank records this as two transaction entries:

* A debit (receiving money) transaction which places more money into their general "money we have" pool: you gave them money.

* A credit (owing more money) transaction: they now owe you more money. This increases the amount of what the bank thinks of as "your account".

The statement they send you at the end of the month only shows the second transaction, because that's the one relevant to "your account" in the sense of #2 above.

If you were keeping books on your side, you would likewise record this as two transaction entries:

* A debit (receiving money) transaction for your bank account (now in the sense of #1 above).

* A credit (having less money in an asset account) transaction for your wallet.

So the upshot is that in the two entities that "your bank account" corresponds to, a debit for #1 is a credit for #2 and vice versa. And when the bank sends you a statement, it describes #2, not #1. Since most people don't interact with the terms "debit" and "credit" normally, this is the only exposure they have to those terms, so they learn them backward....

>I believe one of VW, Mercedes Benz and BMW will bankrupt in 5-10 years. None of them have taken EV serious yet and I fear it's soon too late.

None of them are taking it seriously, huh? You should try reading news other than this board, where everybody thinks that Tesla is dominating the entire industry, when in fact they have a tiny market share and competitors are coming on strong from all angles: Ford, GM, BMW, Apple, Google...companies that are printing billions in profits. But the German majors will be bankrupt in 5 years? Okay.

Why is it that the Tesla fans have to wish ill on the competition? It's better for all of us if everyone produces good EVs.

What is wrong with that? painting this payments as ransom is wrong.
yeap one "s" can change the whole meaning right?

Thanks for the good laugh this afternoon.
I haven't read the book, but from my experience I have found that truly new ideas/products are much harder to explain (I have tried a couple). If someone is already using a competing or similar product then you can say it is like X but here is how we are different/better. If you are the first mover, then you have to explain what X is, why X is useful, and why they should pay for X. Being a first mover is also riskier because there isn't proof that there is a market yet.

Living on Mars only obviates the risk of extinction when it has a biosphere capable of supporting life, or is sufficiently advanced to survive without regular shipments from Earth. We're not even remotely close to that, even in the planning or dreaming stages. That said, Wyoming makes more sense than Mars too.

After 60 odd years of corrupt rule by various Governments anyone would be cynical. So no there is nothing wrong with being cynical.

However, India has formally asked Britain, through an official letter, to extradite 60 fugitives (including Mallya/Lalit Modi) during the bilateral talk held between Mr. Modi and Mrs. May yesterday: http://www.financialexpress.com/india-news/narendra-modi-the...

A formal extradition request wasn't even sent (for the 60 fugitives) during the UPA rule. So I definitely feel that things are now changing for the better.

Also, not sure why there is opposition. But for the banking, places are figuring that out, and its totally legal to recoop costs from YOUR patients in plenty of states, just can't sell to everybody.

One more note: Obama< "If another state passes legalization, prohibition won't be an option."
I respect the Erlang/OTP model a lot. This library is inspired by that. I don't have the illusion to get anywhere close to it in a reasonable amount of time.

There are also differences to the Erlang/OTP too. This library uses typed messages and taking advantage of the compiler to do type checking. I found it is easier to create this library if 1) the number of input and output channels are fixed 2) the topology of who sends to whom is fixed when the tasks are passed to the scheduler.
Ok, clever... but I think it's effectively more like "Reclaiming leaked cash" than plain "cash invalidation".
>Then again, I live in Finland, where nobody has an EV anyway

Because very few people buy $75,000 cars, period. I don't know a single person either, and I'm in Canada. I know people here act like Tesla has already built and sold all these $35,000 Model 3s, but the truth is nobody has built an EV for the mainstream yet. Because it's hard.

I did this test as a break from sitting in front of Keil C51. These questions highlight a very important issue: there are platforms and compilers out there that will bite you in the ass if you try to unconsciously apply what you learned while using gcc.

Under Keil C51, alignment is always 1. This is legal C.

Under Keil C51, int is 16-bit. This is legal C.

Under Keil C51, sizeof(pointer) is anything from 1 to 3. This is an extension, but a very popular one.

Don't assume that just because you can write crash-free code on x86, you "know" C.

Political change for whose benefit? mine? yours? theirs? secret paymaster? highest bidder?
Kotlin has been a joy to use. Really happy with it. Our Android app (http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eatsa.app) is 100% Kotlin (with a good amount of Java libraries of course).

Some highlights:

- Great type system, with type inference.

- Full Java interop. You can literally copy/paste Java code from Stackoverflow and it's automatically translated to Kotlin. It doesn't feel like 2 different languages. Working with Java libraries doesn't feel awkward or foreign, like in many other JVM languages.

- Beautiful syntax that allows to construct some pretty advanced DSL, yet because it's statically typed the IDE can always resolve the DSL constructs and take you "under the hood" to the actual code that's going to be executed. This is in contrast to languages such as Ruby where most of the time when you encounter a DSL construct there's no easy way to understand what's going on.
And yet, if you didn't mind that kind of work, you could have been making a fortune from 1999 to now. You'll be retired before COBOL is no longer used.
In my case, I'd normally say that Betteridge's law applies. But I did surprisingly well on the quiz.

Though I'd agree with the comments on how this is kind of silly. The answer is not always "I don't know" but rather, in some of those cases, "I didn't define my data types well enough to know for sure, depending on CPU architecture and the compiler".

Shame I saw this comment so late, but I do have a reason for this.

I'm an enthusiastic student of Buddhism. I long time ago, during university (late 80s) I attended a guest seminar called "What the Buddha Said" It was fascinating for a number of reasons, but the one that stuck with me over the years was about the translation.

As we know, language changes over time (my favorite example is from rap: "Not bad meaning bad but bad meaning good) So what had happened in the translation of a key Buddhist text was the understanding of one word: year. It was translated literally to mean a year, but actually, at that moment in time, the word actually meant a season. So 20 years passed, really meant 20 seasons, or 5 years had passed. And this led to a knock on in the meaning of words used.

So after that, I decided that one day, I will learn to read the texts in their original language.

This is how I tend to feel about all non-R things; I've been using R for long enough to dislike a lot about the language, but the environment and tooling is too good to give up.

Letting R be the first language I've gotten pretty good at is really spoiling me.
Yeah, that's a problem.

Wikileaks purports itself as a nonpartisan idealistic "all information is free" organization and so far has been accepted as such because that mission is of a higher purpose than political gain. The type of "political change" they've pursued until now entirely rested on the pure fact of information being available, they did not seem to try for influencing a particular outcome in releasing the information beyond simply making it available.

If they're now taking a stance as an organization that will strategically and judiciously release information to pursue a specific political goal, they've destroyed any credibility they once had as a free information exchange. I'm not sure how you don't see that.
The origin (AFAIK) is actually about ten years older than that. In 1982, there was a short satirical humor book published called "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche" [1] that generated what we would now call a "meme" in that vein. I think a number of folks here are taking the fab comment in a far more serious vein than I'm sure it was intended. (A 1994 audience would mostly be quite familiar with the reference.)
