People including yourself have been missing the point with Nintendo's raw performance for decades now. The Xbox, Playstation and Switch are all using off-the-shelf components, the days of console companies developing custom hardware really ended in the 90s, at best the early 2000s (PS3).

This means that today the fact that Nintendo has a slower console is purely a pricing and strategic decision, not some lack of ability to execute. Nintendo knows that when they release a console they might get some AAA games released on it in the first couple of years, but after that devs of AAA will leave it behind for more powerful consoles.

They're fine with that, if you want AAA games you buy an Xbox or a PlayStation. Nintendo's comfortable in their market segment. They're willing to ignore the AAA market to bring their costs down.

There's a name for the 3rd console that tried to compete on performance with the big boys, the Dreamcast.

ServeTheHome is one of the most honest hardware review sites, especially in the very small field of server/enterprise hardware. AFAIK ServeTheHome is basically advertising for DemoEval which is an independent lab full of servers that you can rent access to. So there's a commercial interest behind it, but it's not Intel.

Here's their policy if you want to believe it: https://www.servethehome.com/about/editorial-copyright-polic...

Looking at Optane specifically, it is just that good. It is 2x-10x better than NAND (at ~2x the price) in certain aspects like mixed read/write or fsync. This is very far from Intel's 1000x claims, but Optane is still worth buying in some cases.

Correction: In a functional language (specifically Haskell):

x = 3 means: x is defined as 3.
x == 3 means: Is x equal to 3?
let x = 3 in [...] means: within the scope of [...], x is defined as 3.

There is no specific point where something is "put into the box" or "taken out of the box". In fact, there is no "box". The functional programming concept of "bindings" does not correspond to the imperative concept of "variables", not even the oxymoron known was "constant variables". (If you want variables in Haskell you need IORef or STRef, where the load and store operations are explicit monadic actions.)
Wow that’s some amazing rationalization they’ve done there. What happens in the incredibly more likely scenario that most of them want none?
The key piece of the article:

> Consumer advocacy group Public Knowledge said that the FCC/FTC plan will not protect consumers from ISPs.

> “Not only is the FCC eliminating basic net neutrality rules, but it’s joining forces with the FTC to say it will only act when a broadband provider is deceiving the public,” Public Knowledge VP Chris Lewis said. “This gives free rein to broadband providers to block or throttle your broadband service as long as they inform you of it.”

There are literally zero pro-consumer reasons to repeal net neutrality. It will only make the rich guys richer.

I guess the benefit of the mobility is highly dependent on the user, but from what I have heard is that for many people the system might occasionally travel with a user, but it is played while attached to a TV an overwhelming majority of the time.

Regarding your other points, everything you said there has been true about previous Nintendo consoles. However the Wii U sold worse than the Gamecube which sold worse than the N64 which sold worse than the SNES which sold worse than the NES all while the industry grew as a whole. If you are looking at the success of Nintendo's home consoles, the Wii is a huge outlier. I don't think the focus on "fun" and "family" has yet been proven to be successful in comparison to Sony's and Microsoft's strategies.
Slight nitpick: Even in a world with net neutrality rules, last mile monopolies can still charge high prices.
A friend who works at a fairly large toy manufacturer in Japan says there is a serious problem at the top with management across the various entertainment companies. The aging population leaves large number of of older execs at the top with less and less new talent and ideas coming in. Decisions that once could be made by a single person to take a chance on a talented junior now have to go through and be approved by multiple people so theres less risk taking on new ideas instead of just going with what worked in the past. Many of the global household names, including Mario, were risks on a younger employee.

Nintendo seems to be thriving despite this but it might just be the larger than life people like Miyamoto that are preventing this
The purpose of university for a first timer is to build connections to get an internship or job offer. If you come out without a job offer in hand that pays more for your degree, you failed. If like OP you went back because you already had/have a job, then yes, working with professors and other students is a fine thing.

You don't need real computer science theory until you're already a seasoned programmer, at which point you need a refresher anyway. Beginning programmers spend more time setting up environments and breaking down poorly written requirements, than traversing binary search trees by hand.

I wish someone would have explained to me what it's like finding work in CS before I took the degree, how "entry level" positions can often mean 4+ years experience, how Interview questions often have little to do with the job and everything to do with memorization.

Going to school to become a good programmer is wasting money. Going to school because you want to work a field that rewards having a degree, and starting relationships where someone is waiting for you to get your degree and hire you when you finish, is smart.

It's easy to be salty when you're an unappreciated streamer and there's girls out there having an easier time with less effort. However, they're even not competing for the same audience. As to the second thing, it's a valid point, but there are solutions that don't resort to removing streams.

Chamath makes a very good point. Basically that the same brain you are using to respond to constant interruption from social media and its feedback loops is the same brain you are using to do supposedly great works. The former tasks train you brain to think in a pattern that is opposite to the way needed to do meaningful work. In other words, social media products "machine teach" your brain whether you like it or not. Take back control.

I am not a coffee drinker, and don't frequent cafes all that much, and I must admit to being staggered at the markups in the coffee business - for basically something that you will quite literally pee out later in the day.

In fact, I think the last time I was at a cafe, was a business meeting where I was talking to a potential investor in an app I wrote. I clearly remember him telling me "Gosh, NO ONE wants to pay $2 for an app (that I had sunk several hundred hours programming into) these days...." while literally holding a $5 latte in his hand, and signalling the waiter for another.
The problem with your view is that you're basically expecting everyone to be robots. I entirely can understand needing to vent like that after not getting a job for a very, very stupid reason.

I wonder if the same can be said for internet porn. I too used to think people who wanted to ban porn were just kooky evangelicals, but at some point realized myself how empty and depressed I felt after watching it.

I'm almost more curious about the societal consequences of young people (mostly male) being raised on abundant internet porn and its role (if any) it plays in how men emotionally and physically connect with women or other men.
I'm becoming more convinced that Bitcoin must be in a bubble. The transaction fees are so high now that it's not really usable for actual transactions. For instance Steam just dropped support for that reason and because it's so volatile[1]. The power consumption to process those transactions has gotten similarly insane, and there's no sign of a move to proof-of-stake or anything less intensive. I don't think cryptocurrency is a bad idea in itself but Bitcoin really doesn't seem like a good currency right now, and there's little sign of it heading to a good place.

> Anyone that thinks that Twitch isn't turning in to a soft-core cam girls site can just load the IRL section of Twitch and see for themselves.

And it's not even like anybody is trying to hide it, the Patreon's of many of these Streamers involve rewards like "Private lewd pictures" and their "gaming" often boils down to a video of a game being played in a small corner of the screen or simply playing rhythm/dance games.

Some of these Streamers advertise the fact they work as strippers/dancers in some place, it's a really weird combination of gaming and cam-girl culture. Imho it's kinda exploitive considering how it combines two of the things young males in puberty just love to do and plays on them very heavily.

A mortgage is just a loan secured against an asset like a property. If you already own the property you can secure a loan against it and spend the money on whatever you want. Even if you already have a mortgage you can take out a second one for the value of what the property is worth in excess of the value of the first mortgage ("unlocking" the equity).
>- Perl/PHP/Bash: Learn to cry bitter, sorrowful tears.

This is a common misconception. PHP tears are actually almost sweet and not bitter at all. The only saltiness comes from hearing the opinions of other programmers talk about your primary language.
Chances are that the contractual arrangements that routinely exist between governments and contractors like Gemalto make "blameless post mortems" non-profitable. It's a tricky thing to do right, because you do want to have accountability in the contract.

Governments (rightly) want contractors like this as experts-on-tap in the technology under consideration. But what you really want is not exactly a provider of the technology, but rather an advisor or partner in the process of implementing your process. I don't think we know how to structure a non-nepotistic relationship of that kind.
Hey friend!

Congrats on your experience, journey, and step into the 'unknown.'

My father always said, work hard son. When you work hard, and are active and intentional, results will occur.

Upwork for me took a 6-12 months to develop into something that was generating leads for ME. In other words, people were inquiring me for work versus applying.

With that said, I am active on Github, my site is template based Jekyll and consistent with my niche in Web/Tech, I have a nice looking portfolio (play up those BIG NAMES).

ALSO: Work with a recruiter and get ALL of the feedback on how you interview, and integrate all that into your pitch. For example, they rewrote my 'resume' which is now a portfolio and CV.

ALSO: Be on the active hunt for employment. Being hungry AND being challenged will sharpen your blade even more and when you pitch your customers you will be that much better off.

ALSO: Someone to talk to in a similar job because teaching is learning in reverse.

ALSO: Volunteer your skills, again more challenge, more experience, more resume.

You pretty much have to (((PROVE))) to people that you are the hardest working best choice. And you are. But you have like 5-seconds and then some to 'prove' that.

Good luck friend!!!!
That would be fine, but there problem is the rules are not universally ignored, only for these types of streamers. Lots of guys with a small webcam view of them with no shirt on have been banned for sexual content. Either apply the rules when it makes sense, or not at all.
Yeah, but that's a $1200 spread on a buy price of $16,700, or 7%/month which is (compounded) over 100%/year. Even with the risk premium that seems like it's too big not to have been arbitraged away.
> But that's cause we stole all the natives land.

Archaeological bone evidence of the pre-Columbian Indians is that they periodically had famines. Having land is not a sufficient condition for having a consistent, sufficient food supply.

The US, around 1800, was the first country in history to achieve a consistent food surplus.
Sounds anecdotal to me...

Wait, why are those bad? How is a "waiter" as a middle-man between my mouth and the restaurant better? If you're a restaurant owner, aren't these apps (pun not intended) better for you? You could just have a bunch of delivery people and fire all your wait staff? I'm missing something here, what am I missing?

Of course, there's the other image problem with gaming competitions etc. who will hesitate a bit if Twitch was conducive to this behavior.
> The claim is horse manure which is why it includes no numbers for the threshold.

There's no absolute threshold. It's relative. I recently left one job for another that paid less than half as much. Things is, both were well into six figures, so the difference doesn't mean much to me.

Still, if the old job had paid into seven figures instead of "just" six, I wouldn't have left. It was a boring, easy job, but not intolerable. At seven figures, I would've ridden that horse into the ground.

R&D

Building Human Machines

Employee Experience

Now I don't disagree with that at all, and have been involved with those things and many more, but at some point the definition becomes overly broad as to not mean anything outside of a specific organization being referenced.
Probably tangential to the article, but this quote depressed me more than it probably should:

Videogames are great, and I have a great time playing them. But man, time with family is so limited. You only get one trip around the block in this life, and at the end of the day, I'd rather have spent more time with loved ones than with a videogame.

As a product leader it becomes incredibly old. The actual discussions and interviews are enjoyable. However, I see the Product Management role/industry taking the same path as UI/UX design.

No. Not everything is a design problem. No. Not everything can be solved with "design thinking".

As Product Management becomes more popular we'll start to see the rise of the product "guru". The design industry is filled with self-help, anti-intellectual money grubbers that have never actually built anything of use. They bolster their guru career with the fact that they worked at Facebook for six months. The same thing will start to happen to Product Management.
