I'm thoroughly enjoying my Nintendo Switch, and is one of my favorite consoles ever. I mostly use it in TV mode, but love that I can take the games with me if I need to.

Due to my busy schedule I'm still playing through Breath of The Wild, but I did restart halfway through when the 1st expansion was released so I could play in Hero Mode. Even though this is the 18th game in the series, it is clearly evident that it was developed with the utmost care and craft, and not yet-another-installment, unlike other big franchises.

I have a brand new copy of Mario Odyssey waiting for me to open up as soon as I have time for it. I'm really happy Nintendo has been able to continue making excellent games in this free to play era.
This article reeks of being "sponsored" by Intel, but there is no mention of it anywhere in the article. So my first question is - what, if any role did Intel play in the creation of this article?

Second - I find it ironic after all the marketing buzz that Intel has finally admitted that the endurance of Optane is embarrassing compared to NAND devices. This was their original claim:

>When Intel announced 3D XPoint, the company said that it would be 1,000 times faster than NAND flash, 10 times denser than (volatile) DRAM, and with 1,000 times the endurance of NAND

Those claims are so far off from reality that I'm surprised their shareholders haven't sued them over the claims.
This was part of Twitch from the very beginning. The idea that it's "new" is really just ignorant people finding out after the fact and then complaining about it as if it wasn't always there.
Maybe it will help that Soylent doesn't need to be refrigerated before opening? Though that might be the preferred way to drink it, like soda.
See in my mind that’s like blaming construction workers for condos built quickly with shoddy materials. I don’t choose the materials I work with most of the time. I have worked on maybe one greenfield application in my entire life. It was really small and performed well. Everything else has been making the best out of bad decisions made by other people.

Employees do have an interest in their old companies. If nothing else working for successful companies is a good sign on a resume. But, high level employees often have close ties to other people in management and a much easier time being brought back.
Do note that there are 5 parts to the story. (I almost closed the tab after finishing part 1)
Bubbly bubble.

Seriously, some time ago you could debate if you're an early adopter (winning from a raise in the bubble even if it pops later) or a laggard who'll only lose in it; but if you're investing after a random taxi driver has taken a mortgage to do so, then (hint-hint) you're not one of the early ones.

Oh, I'm quite aware of the existence of left-wing politics. And "leftist" is certainly appropriate at times. My argument is against the colloquial use. Just like there is news that is fake, there are also political views that lean left. But just because Trump calls something "fake news" does not mean it's not true. And though I might be appalled at the current plans to run up the deficit and electing accused child molestors to Senate (views which should be easy to label as "traditional conservative"), I can guarantee you that Sean Hannity would label me as a "leftist" based on a few other whacky views I hold. Hell, it used to be anyone caught cozying up to the Russians was a "commie leftist". My, how times have changed.
Yeah, folks are always opening a bar because they like to socialize, or a restaurant because they like to cook or eat.

You open a small business for one reason: you want to run a small business. Its work, and the satisfaction has to be in the work you'll be doing. Which includes payroll, purchasing, scheduling, negotiating, and on and on.

The OP had a good point: if you wouldn't open a dry cleaner, then don't open a coffee shop either. Nor a bar, nor a restaurant. Because you don't really want to own/run a small business. You're a romantic, and you will fail.
Why is it necessary for people to be polite in the face of rudeness? Especially when the person expected to be polite is volunteering their time for you?

To enlighten the polite people who have not insulted Homebrew maintainers: the issue with requiring the CLT on everything but the latest version of macOS is because of the horrible workarounds. Grep the Homebrew taps for "Xcode-only", "CLT.installed?", or "clock_gettime" for an idea of the amount of hacks required. I don't know precisely why this occurs but it's related to Apple only shipping the latest SDK in Xcode rather than one that matches the version of macOS that Xcode is running on.
I've always wanted to design and open my own coffee shop, particularly since I enjoy sitting at them for hours on end. However, I'm not so naive as to think I could make such a whim profitable without a massive amount of hard work — an amount that would probably end up destroying the romanticism associated with opening a coffee shop in the first place.

My plan is to instead wait until I hit the tech startup lottery and then just operate my dream coffee shop at a loss.

All jokes aside, I'm amazed at the number of cute little places opening up where I currently live (Knoxville, TN). When I moved here five years ago, there were maybe one or two independent coffee shops. Now there's about ten of them, and all of them seem to be doing quite well. I suppose there's enough college students around here to keep them profitable though. Not to mention the low cost of living means rent probably isn't too bad.
I agree that this is true but so many of the things we buy have no utility. It is the chase that kills us (me included) not that we need some things.

There are groups that have that mindset to want less, to avoid the chase, like the Amish. (Not that they don't have other problems).

I think even simple rules can help though:
* If haven't used something in the last year, sell it or get rid of it.
* If you want to buy something that costs more than $X, wait a two weeks. If you still want it, wait two more weeks. If you still want it, then buy it. (So much of our spending is impulse).
* Don't have cash/cards easily accessible or always on you or "saved" in sites you use. Having hurdles to spend money prevents it for things you don't need. This also means making a grocery list and only taking along enough money to buy what's on your list.
* Buy used or thrift. I buy almost all of my clothes on eBay. High quality, name brand stuff that retails for $75-$150 for $15 shipped. This is even more true if you are a less popular size.
* etc.....
(1) Nevermind the fact that BitCoin is only 10 years old, whereas financial markets are two orders of magnitude older.

(2) Equities+bonds trade less than 8 hours a day, no more than 5 days a week in most markets. BitCoin is a 24/7 marketplace. Not exactly apples-apples.

(3) You are comparing a company (CoinBase) with an industry (financial equities market-making). If it's "unacceptable", the company's reputation will pay a price and they may be sued by regulators and/or AGs.

(4) As late as last week, Gary Cohen stated that the WH is going to be hands-off of BitCoin for now, so there is no "regulatory perspective" unless (presumably) there is actual provable fraud or their stance changes.

(5) "absolutely unacceptable" is what a significant portion of US voters thought of the financial and automotive bailouts, yet they still happened and the people swallowed it. At least CoinBase is a voluntary contract with their end-user.

edit: I derped on how old BitCoin is now
I think you overestimate two factors: (1) government competence in censoring data; (2) everyone else's desire/willingness/capability in going through this stuff in depth.
Why should it be an advertisment bought by intel? Optane disks are technically the best at the moment for ZFS SLOG but nobody had tested it in reality yet, so they just did it very good.
I assumed the director fought back rather than just standing there and taking the beating, and the guy drew the gun after that. Could be wrong, just seems the likely course of events.
This is really not true. If the idea is so novel that people can’t understand and want it when you pitch it to them, building it is not going to help. You still have to pitch it to them.

I’ll add: if you think it’s true, it probably just means you’re bad at pitching.
Would it make sense to take a formal CS degree for someone with an engineering/math degree? Does having a master's degree in CS help you become a better entrepreneur/engineer considering the cornucopia of knowledge provided by MOOCs?
I'm not sure if you played Breath of the Wild or Odyssey but I don't think they're mining nostalgia with the Switch. There are certainly callbacks but those games are as fresh and as impressive as I've seen in my ~20 years of gaming. YMMV, of course...but I have really been impressed with Nintendo's approach to refining gameplay and genre.

The Switch has seen some pretty decent third party support on the Switch (Doom, Rocket League w/Crossplay, FIFA, NBA, Elder Scrolls) that haven't really been around in prior generations. It seems like indie games are flooding to the Switch. We'll see if large third party support sticks around but I think as long as the games sell, people will port/develop for the Switch.

I love Nintendo's approach this generation. I've really enjoyed diving into their games after barely playing the Wii and completely skipping the Wii U. This definitely feels like a resurgence - but obviously we'll see in 6-12 months. But they're definitely back on everyone's radar.
What market? There are dozens of vegan food bars available in the US
You don't even have to go back that far, there still aren't any answers for Mandalay Bay. The media has a short attention span.
Our educational culture has us convinced that we need to have some kind of complete mental process before we produce an answer for some problem. In school, you answer a question by recalling information, making deductions, and only after eliminating your doubts to a sufficient degree do you scratch your answer on a piece of paper. Oh, and a good student is always afraid of being wrong. It's a mentality that we carry into adulthood only to be paralyzed by it. If only we taught kids to instinctively do and produce even at the risk of being wrong or looking like a fool later. We should habitually be exploring, doing, and engaging with problems and ideas. Pursuing the right ideas in your career should amount to selecting from your experiences and the experiences that others have shared with you. What ideas worked and what didn't? How did the outcome conform to your expectations? It doesn't have to be a complete and finished product. What did you learn from making this prototype? What surprised you? No doubt you've have many bad ideas over the years. We all have them. What projects are providing value to you because you enjoy working on them, and what projects look like they could provide real value to others in the world? Those are the projects worth pursuing for the long run.
Someone that owns a substantial sum of coins recently put it to me this way: there are ~16 million millionaires in the US. If each one of them wants 1 Bitcoin... I'm long again.
> > What's far more interesting to discuss is the approach: pre-rendered html dynamically swapped vs SPA's, tradeoffs, pros/cons, performance, security, etc.

> Then by all means discuss it. But don't downvote people who have a different judgment of its relative importance than you do.

Well, unfortunately I'm not convinced. I don't judge idea 1 as more important than idea 2, but I will vote based on my opinion of the article being more important than the title as I assume most authors intend to communicate more through the 1500 word defense rather than the 10 word clickbait. Obviously the article has more substance to grapple with. If the title's topic is interesting, I welcome new submissions that actually deal with it.
I'm imagining the value for making actual theatre movies will be a bigger issue. You can have Humphrey Bogart in a science fiction thriller! We'll have to come up with new rules.
The implication is that having commit rights on a highly visible and popular open-source project somehow absolves the maintainer of the need for patience and civility. I would expect quite the contrary, as a matter of fact.
I've worked for a large national food service retailer. I tell people all the time DO NOT start a restaurant. Margins are super low, hours are lousy and there is so much competition.

If you want some suggestions on how to do it right

- Find a niche and be the absolute best in it

- Make sure your food costs are low and easily sourced

- All of your labor should be family (pay no wages)

- Alcohol has the best margins

Even if you do all of those things its no guarantee for success. It's very difficult to be successful in food service.
Or you could, like, do it.

Things are easier these days with great CI tools, cloud stuff like CDNs, cheap storage and bandwidth, and FOSS sponsors.

Scratching your own itch is something that can be worth being done at times. After all that's how Homebrew started, when people grew discontent of the complexity of MacPorts and Fink. There were dismissing words towards Homebrew back then too (like "wait till they have to do X").
They've been silent on health benefits. The blog seems to be all about new variations and marketing.

It's kind of annoying since being interested in and relatively transparent about health stuff is how they got started.
> The dual mobile/console functionality of the Switch seems to be almost as gimmicky as the motion controls of the Wii.

As someone that was extremely skeptical of the Switch but ended up grabbing one anyway: it's not as gimmicky as it seems. The truth is that while the Switch is being advertised as a hybrid, the real strength of this console, to me, is that it's super agile to use, while still being a console in the traditional sense. Like a smartphone or a modern laptop, you can wake it with the press of a button, play for a while, then put it to sleep with the press of a button again, then resume playing instantly later. That's less about the gimmick and more about what a modern videogame console ought to be today, but it's not immediately evident to the naked eye until you start playing with it regularly.

I personally find that I play more often with my Switch than with previous videogames consoles I've owned, simply because of that agility, because I can fit it in my life without making time for hours long sessions.
When I started my software development business nearly 3 decades ago, someone told me (paraphrased) "Beware the technician who has a skill/passion that they love so much that they decide to leave a job they hate and do it for a living...They are just building themselves another job that they will eventually come to hate."

And by technician I mean anyone who can do/make things with their own hands and creative energy. It is probably very dated now, but I highly recommend anyone thinking of starting their own business to read Robert Gerber's "The E-myth Revisited".

In a nutshell, every business owner has to realise that they have to wear three hats - that of Technician, Manager and Entrepreneur. All three require energy and different skills, and it is very rare that one person will have requisite skills in all 3 fields, so outside help, or more learning is needed.
UK news probably doesn’t provide much insight by way of timing; 98% is Brexit related now, even reader reviews of books published ten years ago — the rest is blessed relief that is often rapidly overcome with more Brexit.
I don't think their complaint is about what they listen to. Rather it's a lament at what crap gets popular.
Let's just agree that the process is not too far removed from my initial brief description, and should be simple to implement, as the article shows. For any competent signal processing engineer, this should all be evident, which was the main point.

Also, even if you have many false positives, you have already narrowed down the search, and this allows you to do more brute-force searching like computing cross-correlations.
Microsoft commits $50M more to its AI for Earth program
Why would I write my own version? If I ditch Homebrew I'd just go back to MacPorts.
DTR operations were terminated on Voyager 2 in 2007, and Voyager 1 in 2015, but I don't know if this was related to mechanical problems with the tape recorders or just due to the lack of need given the data collected by the remaining instruments.
Any possibility Thinkful will support payment through the G.I. Bill in the future?
That's nuts. I'm sure if the DMCA covered it, there'd be cases on record of it happening (too lazy to search). I have no doubt there's a cases for selling counterfeit games but to outlaw the possession of the cart itself is ridiculous. A 1 year sentence is even more ridiculous.

> the judge argued that "the mere fact that the device can be used for a non-infringing purpose is not a defence."

That judge is unfit to be a judge.
Excellent comment. "Resurgence" only makes sense in a business horserace, or in measuring media coverage.

Nintendo has always been going strong, knows exactly WTF they're doing, executes with precision more or less, and is pretty much always successful. A resurgence in attention has nothing to do with the company.
> How many times can you mine Zelda nostalgia in an age when kids have dozens more, and often better titles available for $0.99?

Breath of the Wild just won Game of the Year not because it's 'mining nostalgia' but because it's a fantastic creation by any measure.

Where is this $0.99 app of better quality?

> Have there been any major 3rd party games developed for their platforms over the last ten years?

It's not about console exclusives, it's a different market.
It's very burdensome when the alternative is accepting a pile of money in kickbacks and post-public-service stock options and employment in exchange for ignoring public demand.
these are self-selected pics to show off the new CEO and de-highlighting the founder. There's nothing subtle about it.
Interesting article, though it did seem a little odd to discuss the costs of business then describe coffee sales as "a rogue’s playground of jaw-dropping markups". When I go to a coffee shop, I know I'm not just paying for a cup of coffee, but for a cup of coffee to be available and prepared in that location, plus some amount of profits. The fact that the cost of goods is a tiny fraction of the sale cost isn't at all surprising IMO.
Think about procurement. Even a pure commodity has to meet minimum standards.

If you’re buying eggs at the supermarket, they need to be of uniform size and not be spoiled, for example. Other than that, they’re a pure commodity.
The article is self-deprecating in this aspect by squeezing in LOL as well:

> yes we found a way to fit another acronym in the piece
I feel like this is a, "guns don't kill people, people kill people" argument.

If you create a product that is both an echo chamber for reinforcing your beliefs, while also tricking you into believing fake news, and a huge percent of the population is negatively effected by that - can you really keep blaming the people instead of the product?
Keep in mind the DS/3DS has an extensive library of excellent third party games. A lot of folks tend to overlook just how overwhelmingly successful the 3DS is and has been -- Nintendo basically prints money with it. It's actually one of the best game catalogues for any console out there.

I strongly suspect we'll see many of these titles migrate to the Switch over the next several years, which could end up making it a very compelling package.
> the solution is probably on SO somewhere

SO (especially the PHP and JS parts) is full of terrible answers that basically instruct people to throw darts at the board until one hits, without explaining any of the underlying concepts behind what's happening.

This sounds like a great strategy if OP wants to become a mediocre programmer.
The FDP has left the center
Saying "the error message is terrible" isn't particularly rude to begin with. And if you're having a one-on-one conversation with someone, saying "I think you're rude so I'm not going to answer your question" is one thing, but in a public forum, saying "You raise a valid question but I don't like how you phrased something so I'm going to explicitly refuse to answer the question, then lock the PR so nobody else can ask the question either, and screw anybody who actually wants to know the answer" is unacceptable. It's really user-hostile and makes me not want to use anything that maintainer is responsible for.
How do you take out a mortgage and spend it on something other than a property? That has to be fraud regardless of what you purchase, right? This worthless article didn't explain much.
Breath of the Wild is the best Zelda game in the series (IMO, and I haven't played either the Gamecube or Wii U games). On top of that they are still releasing content for it! I bought the switch to play Zelda (back in March) and I'm still playing it now.

Admittedly I don't have that much time for games and I'm trying to 100% BotW.
I'm sure he's crying all the way to the bank.
Then why has the CIA fought so hard to redact these documents, including in 2017 almost telling the president he can't release these docs despite wanting to. Fact: the docs are being held illegally due to the CIA's pressure (threats?) on the President.

The law said 25 years and all the docs have not been released. Many are still redacted. It's downright scary that the current CIA is still defending its past crimes.

Soon it will be an accepted fact that the CIA committed a coup in America, and everyone will act like they knew it all along and it's boring. People are sheep and the CIA is the shepherd.
I'm the guy who originally made Homebrew independent of the CLT (GSoC 2015).

macOS is a constantly moving target, and it's hard enough to get consistent behavior across multiple versions with the CLT installed. It's a losing battle that I've been fighting for the last 3 years, and it's one with diminishing returns (only a minority of Homebrew users don't want/need the CLT for other purposes anyways).

Edit: As for PR, we get a lot of issues and PRs that amount to handling a 1% case at the cost of the 99% case. When we get those, we have to consider both to time cost to ourselves and the future maintenance cost. We could probably be a little less brusque about it, but the reality is that we don't have the kind of labor or resources necessary to support maintenance-heavy features like CLT-free installs on older macOS versions.
