To be even more pedantic: it's the number of bits in a char that is defined by CHAR_BIT. However, sizeof returns the number of chars needed to store a type, where sizeof(char) is defined to be 1.
The fact you included Tetris attack makes me automatically really like you.

Finding 30 games is easy, for me getting it to be the optimal 30 games would be harder. But then my super ideal never happen dream list would include stuff like Final Fantasy 5 and Seitken Sendetsu 3 (sequel to Secret of Mana that never got an official english translation during the SNES era if ever).
It seems the padding one is wrong for an even simpler reason. You don't know what sizeof(int) is.

A list like this without Axelay, Contra and Cybernator is missing three of the greatest SNES games of all time.

wait I forgot Ninja Warriors, Metal Warriors, Super Turrican (and Turrican 2), Skyblazer, Rendering Ranger R2, Hagane, Actraiser, the rest of the Mega Man X series, the Bomberman series, Captain Commando.

Crap, I think we're nearing 60.

That list seems a bit weighted towards JRPGs, though many are well known, and it seems like the SNES had several to choose from.

As much as I must admit I have a moral obligation to complete every one that you mentioned (except Chrono Triger, did finish that one), I think it'd be good to include some types of games. What about, say, Earthworm Jim, MegaMan X2 or X3, or one of the Mortal Kombat titles?

I have to agree with GP, this is kinda hard.
I did have a Super Bomberman game on there originally. I just never owned any for SNES so I didn't really know which one was the best. I mostly played them on Gameboy.

> Tesla is absolutely getting ready for post ownership era of motorization, in fact the autopilot effort and announcements regarding for-profit car sharing only being available through Tesla network directly confirm that.

This is why I chuckle when everyone says "Look how few Tesla vehicles are produced!". They don't have to replace every vehicle purchased, just the vehicle miles driven. Cars sit idle 90-95% of the time, which means if you increase utilization with the Tesla Network, they need only 20-30% of total worldwide manufacturing capacity to replace all cars.

Total cars sold in the US this year? Just shy of 18 million. How many does Tesla need to build to replace that capacity if they're self driving? 4-6 million cars/year to start, decreasing rapidly depending on rideshare uptake. Easily doable with their automated manufacturing efforts.

Gonna be a bitch when Tesla manufacturing curve hits vehicle miles demand, and existing automaker sales plummet.
What rights? They don't make the consoles or games anymore.
Losing steam? You mean the theory was discredited because there isn't any proof whatsoever of it being true and we don't have the means currently to prove or disprove it (measuring said chemicals while the brain is alive). I'd say that's a little more than losing steam. That's on par with the anti global warming campaign as far as science goes. But it's a nice story (think fiction) so people like to keep regurgitating it, including psychiatrists and psychologists who all should know better.

>Einstein's theory made testable predictions which were later proven to be true. The emergent theory lacks such confirmation, and so time will tell whether it reflects reality.

The author claims to be making a few novel predictions which, he claims, astronomers can go check. He also retrodicts several things we observe, though I'm not enough of a physicist to say if he's using a simple enough model for that to be interesting.
Also the cost. Many times when a product is re-released the company putting it out tries to get every penny they can from you. This could have cost double the price and many would still buy it, but it costs about the launch price of a single AAA title. If you this thing with an extra controller that is like $70 before tax. I have spent more than that on a decent mouse.

It might be more expensive than playing ROMs if you already have a computer, already have a controller(s) and already have something set up in the living room. But I don't have that already and it would take me longer to figure how to do it well than it would take me to earn $70 at my day job despite my proficiency at pirating and already having several ROMS.

This is the intelligent way to fight piracy. Release often, with high quality and cheap.
The problem is that I maintain other people's code, and I don't want the language to add all those extra things. It's a big cognitive load to maintain, and leads to bugs in production software that is hard to debug.

The julia docs mention that Fortran arrays can be indexed with various starting numbers. I've programmed and maintained millions of lines of Fortran over 20 years and I've never seen anybody use anything other than 0 as the starting index.

I am actually with you in that, my guess is: the ability to click directly on "reply" that goes to a comment with no context would encourage discussion that is less nuanced.

I love the embedding of the comments. I love the ability to click to come to Hacker News and read the whole discussion. I don't love that particular feature though and wish it would be removed.

It's my understanding that keeping a discussion board like this one high quality is a very demanding and delicate task relying on great algorithms and lots of moderator effort.

I could easily envision that feature creating an overload.
I had Mortal Kombat 2 on there until right at the end. I considered the ones you mentioned. Earthworm Jim seems more like a Genesis game to me, and I didn't think Capcom would be too keen on giving Nintendo all their Mega Man games, considering they like to repackage and resell them about once every couple of years.

Again, I'm not saying my list is definitive and there are no other worthy contenders. It was mainly something I put together based on the games included in the NES Classic, what was really popular, what would likely not be too hard to get the rights to include, and my own personal preferences to a degree.

Also, many would argue the SNES was when JRPGs were at their height and the main thing that differentiated the platform compared to the Genesis.

On the contrary, having IPv6 only sites and protocols would greatly help adoption.

One of the problems is that a lot of companies think that IPv4 is good enough, since there's no discernable difference to end users right now. Every IPv6 site is also accessible over IPv4, and the community is already heavily invested in engineering around the shortcomings otherwise created by NAT on IPv4.

Coupled with the additional cost and security considerations that have to go into an IPv6 deployment, we've got a good recipe for encouraging both ISPs and corporate providers to stay on IPv4 for as long as possible. (If we're unlucky, we might even see ISPs roll out carrier grade NAT instead of upgrading.)

Drastically overstating the price of virtual console games. For example, http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/super-mario-bros-3-3ds

Ocarina of Time is 10 dollars on virtual console.

The 3ds remake might be $30, but it is an updated version of the game. OoT is also < 20 years old, not 30.

As I stated in my above comment, I believe that encouraging visitors from one site to come directly to a comment (rather than the entire thread) specifically removes the context.

And that could be a bad thing, no?
I do. Part of it is just that I'm so used to it from using it remotely that I feel at home using it locally as well. But it's also very portable. For instance, I can use it in macOS or even on Windows using the Ubuntu bash subsystem. This makes it effectively a universal tiled window manager for me.
> [...] I'm wondering how much people on HN lie or exaggerate on their CV.

Not even the slightiest bit. If anything, I tend to leave things out, the ones
that are unimportant compared to rest, that are very old, or that I don't want
to admit I know.

> Is this a bad strategy?

It is. It can very easily backfire. You don't know in advance which parts of
the requirements are critical (and thus they'll ask you about them), and if
you'll get caught lying, you're done immediately.

You either look at the wrong job posts or heavily underestimate what does it
take to be competent with those technologies.

put some knowledge about the tool in CV.

1. The snooping doesn't buy much ad placement benefit. That from Roberto Bayardo, Google advertising engineer.

2. The idea is not to cram ads down people's throughts all the time, but to not skeeve people off so much that you're not wwhere they go for purchase recommendations. If that means services which are mostly privacy-aware but that this means that you're where maps or shopping or search queries happen, that's a win.

A counter might be that Google's primary aim now isn't ads but AI and training data. I still think that not annoying or alarming people is preferable. Some data are better than no data, or intentionally distorted data, or massive regulatory burden.

Short answer: because privacy-promoting would be the better business choice.

Obviously you'd just build the object at once for something this simple, but for larger/more complex objects it becomes trickier.
Similar problem from a local school: "__ - 9 = 9"

The teacher would accept 9 or 0 as an answer, not 18. A parent (with math degree even) who was volunteering pointed out that 18 is correct. The teacher ruled against this, arguing that 18 was unacceptable because math with 2-digit numbers hadn't been covered yet.

This was at a "good" school, in a county full of nerds.

Such logic. Poor kids... and people wonder why kids hate math and give up on it.

Many good examples of this: Netflix, Steam, and now Nintendo :-)
I love Metal Warriors, I just don't think it's high profile enough that Nintendo would likely include it. Cybernator would be more likely. I considered Axelay and ActRaiser but never really played those games so didn't have a strong opinion on them.

Hagane is super rare and virtually unknown in the US except as an underappreciated gem in Youtube videos.

>The question is, does that mean that the theory space is infinite? If so, that would mean that it would be impossible to know that we've found the truth (as a single point within this infinite space) - we'd only ever be able to conclude that we've found a closer approximation. Scientists may never run out of work.

The theory space is definitely infinite, in either the interesting sense of something like "the space of all possible programs, treated as causal or directed-generative models" or in the trivial sense that you can take any simple, well-supported theory and come up with mathematical elaborations that don't change any of the pre-existing empirical predictions.

In a certain sense, "the truth" may constitute an infinitely small point in a space that's more continuous than discrete.

"The course prerequisite list is, I think, usually a good balance of the right amount of information."

I strongly disagree with this statement. I see many college curricula as hugely time inefficient. Especially when you want to learn deeply on a specific topic. I personally disregarded the prerequisites for many elective engineering classes because of scheduling constraints. And anecdotally I found you only needed small pieces of the prereq's.

You can argue for a 'foundation' all you want. I was simply stating that I would like a detailed list of knowledge required to take a course instead of a generic 'you need a 100 level linear algebra course.' A detailed list would then allow people to decide if they know/remember enough info or need to learn/brush up on a topic. Speaking of linear algebra, seems like a struck a nerve with my made up example.

I also think it is a disservice to say that you need 'understanding [of] those subjects deeply if you want a high ROI.' These kind of statements discourage learning. I have seen many people struggle with so called necessary prereq's only to flourish in more advanced classes.
So?

(i >= i) // 1
((i >= i) << i) // 0x10000 or 0
(((i >= i) << i) >> i) // 1 or 0
(((((i >= i) << i) >> i) <= i)) // ((0 or 1) <= 16) == 1

Where did I go wrong?
In the late 80's, my academic advisor said he wouldn't sign off on me taking a COBOL class because that was a business department IT class and would not go with the rest of my studies[1]. I wasn't really into the idea anyway and filled my schedule with other classes. I do wonder what other CompSci departments at the time were doing.

1) EE was the sole teacher of FORTRAN and I decided against that also, more from a teacher problem than a lack of desire to learn FORTRAN which I later did (without the all caps).

The problem with all these language lawyets is thay they present themselves as the keepers of the Truth and if you can't cite the standard for every line of code you write, you "don't really know the language."
