I attended Powerfest '90 (The Nintendo World Championships)[0], and every game on display was shown on an SVideo connection. The beta Final Fantasy's pixels looked sharp and defined (I spent an hour playing it, though it reset every 15 minutes). They explicitly used the best connections possible to ensure video fidelity and minimize color bleeding.

Magazines were the same; outside of the "Take a picture of your TV Screen with a Polaroid Camera" section of the magazine (scoreboards), Nintendo Power always had screenshots of the game using a Super Wide Boy, which outputted the screen to a crisp video feed perfect for articles. EGM used the same device. Nobody wanted blurred pixels or color bleeding. They certainly didn't want cathode ray distortion.

There is nothing but anecdotal information that the developers of NES games intended the blurring and bleeding to affect their game designs. The only purveyors of the "CRT Experience" seem to be milennials born after the NES's reign.

I didn't have the best TV for my NES, but it looked tons better than some of these scanline effects. If you were using a CGA monitor to play NES games, then maybe the shaders were accurate, but even the black and white TV I had for a while was a superior experience to the scanline shaders available in the NES mini or RetroArch.

Playing Bionic Commando: Return of Hitler[1] on the NES right now, with no shaders. You should too.

Good point! I allow myself an Irn-Bru only on run days (and less than 10 miles doesn't count). I don't live in Scotland and Irn-Bru is particularly hard to find, which is part of the incentive. Gives me a sense of accomplishment anyway!
Yes, if for some perverse reason you wanted to adopt something that's designed for something else first and foremost (development in the case of an IDE), and are able to tolerate all the non-task-specific functionality that results from that.

Not to mention that lots of popular IDEs are written in unnecessarily wasteful/slow environments (Eclipse and Idea which use Java, etc).
You don't need to rotate memory, because you don't care about the contents of the gap.
If you use Atom with VIM plugins why not use NeoVim or vim directly? It opens huge files as fast as sublime does. You have plenty of plugins to adequate your needs, definitely not as advanced as IntelliJ but I would say better than Atom.

>Nothing in that article supports the assertion that screenplays have a different concept of versioning than software developers. Screenwriters just have a different preferred format for displaying diffs, a different convention for version numbering (but that's completely irrelevant to a tool like git), and a paper-saving way of handling insertions and removals, when printing out on paper (again, irrelevant to git).

So they have absolutely no use for Git, except as a lower-level versioning engine in the backend, with all the actual results and presentation layer reformatted into screenplay-specific views. So why should they care for Git specifically over any other engine that provides the latter out of the box?

I'm not implying their implementation is incorrect. Just that these types of things are very easy to get wrong and when you do it's usually the type of bugs that take months to track down after you've eliminated every other subsystem involved.

Generally if there's not a huge organization putting their reputation(and $$$) on the line there is going to be bugs.

Yeah - this is often a problem for me. You've got a boundary of getting to work on time. Which means getting kiddo to school on time. You child doesn't want to eat breakfast, but you know that your child will be more difficult for the teacher at school if they haven't eaten. So the simple "just take them without food, 'they won't starve'" doesn't work because you know this is likely to cause problems in the day. You want the best solution. So all the child has to delay and play and it's fun for them to do this. Repeat this process every day for 18 years.
No. The framing entirely dismisses the military as being of no positive value.
RetroUSB and the scene are all very well aware of this. Problem is emulating pixel blur and defect aren't accurate either. There will be no perfect "defects preserved" mode because people played them on a hundred or more different TV technologies from the '80s and '90s.

People after that old look, and the scanline mode the NES Classic have find that it's actually not that cool to have those running. Best to appreciate the game as it plays now. Purists who try to "replicate" classic gaming are trying to gobble up all the SONY PVM / BVM tube medical and broadcast monitors now. Unfortunately they are also wrong there too. No kid playing nintendo back in the day had that crisp of a monitor either.

This is futility played out in this hobby and it's better to look forward and appreciate the amazing color and pixel density of today's technology with the game scaled to the best of our abilities. Are we to try to add a front light simulated glare to the TVs as well so that we can see a fake reflection of the table lamp on our games as well. It's preposterous.

If people want a CRT to get a faster response time, good on them. and so you know this isn't emulation. So it's not 'forgoing' emulating artifacts, because that wasn't what the original systems did. This is the system running on a chip totally simulated with the same behaviors but with different output (HDMI).
If I can avoid suffering, dying and rotting until I'm on my deathbed sometime in the far future, then that sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

Better yet if I can delay it until a time of my own choosing rather than being yanked out of existence "when my time comes".

What you're suggesting is rather interesting.

YEs, but images 2,336 x 3,504 = 8,185,344 pixels @ 24bit color roughly equals to 24MB. That is lots of images even if you are on native resolution retina display. And doubling that gives you 48MB only. ( And someone has pointed out they are compressed differently within memory, so likely only consuming 1/2 to 1/3 memory size )

That leaves with 200MB memory gods knows what they are.

I found the lecture useful. I haven't made it to the end, but there is a good visualization on solving the XOR problem without the Kernel Trick, starting at 26:57. She shows a multi-layer perceptron and uses two hyperplanes (hidden layer) to write a remapping so that a single hyperplane (output layer) can classify the 4 points. It is a general perceptron example, so it's only one hidden layer, but it shows the gist of DL (transforming data into a new representation) in a way that I hadn't seen before.
According to the documentation [1], "The service is totally free now".

Generally if there's not a huge organization putting their reputation(and $$$) on the line there is going to be bugs.

This argument applies to any hard problem, so it doesn't seem valid. Whether there's an important bug in a project depends on someone's skill and on how much time they've dedicated to it, and it's hard to know how skilled or dedicated someone is.

I'm having a hard time reconciling what your problem with this actually is. Firstly you seem to be implying that Uber is going to track you indefinitely (because reasons), and that their dangerous mass-murdering drivers will use this to do something nefarious. Then it's "the guvmint" who you seem to think can't track you already using any of the 5 million other ways your smartphone advertises your exact location, and is now relying solely on a ride-sharing app to know your whereabouts.

And then what? Women, Muslims, and Mexicans are now being targetted? By who? Why? What's going to happen to them? This has been a thing since January, so presumably there's already been at least a dozen abductions?

I don't care about this because there I have no reason not to trust Uber with knowing my approximate location for a few minutes. So no I won't be educating my friends and family on stranger danger, nor will I be explaining to them how Uber is going to get them abducted by G-Men.
Henry Thoreau talked about this in Walden [1]. He built and lived in a hut by Walden lake for 2 years around 1900. There was a Irish family or such like that lived near by. The man he spoke to served him coffee, a luxury of the day, but had to work all hours to afford it. Walden had none of the luxuries but lived a more stress free life.

> Shorter programs have less bugs[1], and run faster[2]

It's quite easy to write a short, slow, buggy HTTP server. There are a lot of them.

Simple observation would tend to suggest that the fast and reliable HTTP servers tend to have quite a bit of code. Sure, a lot of that is extra features that most people don't use, but it's true even if you cut that out.
My thinking:

You load a file. All text is one giant buffer. You make a gap buffer and need it somewhere in the original buffer. Otherwise... How does this work?

You want to move the gap to a new location. Which is the same as originally moving it in. This is effectively rotating part of the buffer.
From the documentation, it doesn't seem clear that there's any guarantee that a particular queued item will ever eventually be dequeued (in a program that runs forever).

Consider the case where each producer thread queues N items, and then waits until at least one of its N items is dequeued before immediately topping back up; while the consuming thread dequeues at a slower rate than the producers are able to produce. Maybe no item from producer number 1 ever gets dequeued? Or did I miss something in the documentation?

Google Wi-Fi seems to be using 802.11s "mesh networking" protocol, but I think that's still mainly targeted at in-home/in-building mesh networking. The mesh networking era we'll all expecting could be enabled by the upcoming 802.11ah, which works in the 900Mhz spectrum, and should offer higher ranges.

Although I think the target is only 2x of 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi N right now, which seems a little disappointing to me. I was expecting something along of 1KM range (I don't think Wi-Fi N actually reaches 500m in the real world).

It may be because the Wi-Fi Alliance is trying to make this an "IoT"-enabling technology as well, rather than allow us to connect to each other's smartphones and notebooks at good speeds and longer ranges.

Anandtech says there's quite a big push for 802.11ah from Wi-Fi silicon vendors.

I think this is something that really worked well in the movie, but takes a little more consideration after watching it because the movie doesn't really stop to explain this part:

Heptapod communication, and later on Louise, is performative. Imagine that you're playing a part in a live theater. You've read the script. You know what's going to happen next. You have lines to say, and you say them. You choose to participate in the performance.

It's a really interesting resolution to the argument between free will and determinism.

In this case, we can infer that, even though Louise knew everything that would happen, including her daughter's disease, she chose to play her role anyway. She understood that it was just a smaller part of a much larger, pre-determined script, and she was content to be an actor in it at all.

For another example of this being hinted at in the movie, Abbott knew exactly the fate that awaited him. He could have avoided it, but didn't. That was his role.

It's a metaphysical argument that's deeply unsatisfying to a lot of people. For a lot of folks, free will means being able to force change as you see fit -- the Edge of Tomorrow position. But, for a minority of others, free will and determinism can coexist if you're willing to accept that just because things can be changed doesn't mean they should be. It's the ultimate form of stoicism.

(Also not addressed in the movie is the neat question of whether the heptapods' original decision to interact with humans for the sake of their own future is part of the script, or if it was an action they took outside of the script for their own sake.)
If you want to avoid promising TV/iPad as a reward, good alternatives are:

"If you get in the bath, I'll go and choose a bath toy that you've never even played with before." (And then I find something random in the kitchen - ladle, colander, Tupperware, etc.)

or "If you get dressed, I'll tell you something interesting about Mercury." (Or owls, or bullet trains or anything you can come up with.)

Used the Mercury one with my 4yo, planning to tell him about the massive valley recently discovered. He shot back immediately "Dad, I already know it's really hot on one side and cold on the other side!"

If they're out of control and won't listen to reason, I often just talk somewhat quietly to them about something I know they'll find interesting, and they usually stop screaming so they can hear what it is.

1000% this. I've given them my praise before on HN, but can't say it enough. These are best best things you can do for your network without spending tons of cash.
The IETF Home Networking working group [0] has been working on the software side of this, standardizing things like HNCP [1] to allow for automatic configuration of a home network with multiple IPv6 routers. The Cerowrt [2] router firmware project included mesh networking using AHCP [3] and those packages made it upstream to OpenWRT. So there are quite a few ways to do this, and at least some of them have been pretty thoroughly tested in the wild.
