Interesting question.

Emulating the PS1 is a lot easier on modern hardware than emulating e.g. the SNES, because most of what it does is push polygons, and PS1 games just don’t push very many of them; so even the most anemic mobile GPU core is more than enough to handle the load.

I imagine this is still true of the PS2 to an extent. It’s even more just a polygon pusher than the PS1; and the 3D is still generations-old.

There’s this forum post linked to on the PCSX2 website: https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Sticky-Will-PCSX2-run-fast-o..., that says the recommended specs are something like:

• Intel Core 2 Duo / Core i3 @ 3.2Ghz or faster

• Nvidia Geforce 9600GT / 8800GT or better

Probably all you need here, to answer this question in theory, is to compare raw benchmark scores between those components and the Pi4’s CPU/GPU.

Or, for another angle, here’s a forum post about Play! (an emulator that has aarch64 support) running on the Nintendo Switch’s Tegra X1: https://gbatemp.net/threads/play-ps2-emulator-is-running-on-...

Spoilers: it gets 10FPS. And the Pi4’s GPU is no Maxwell. (And, while Play! isn’t the most optimized of emulators, it’s the one you’d have to use on aarch64. Even if you optimized it 6x, so that the Tegra got 60FPS, the Pi4’s Videocore GPU wouldn’t be pulling nearly that.)
- The 1Password X extension is standalone (doesn't need the desktop app) so when you have three different Chrome profiles as I do, you have to sign in to 1Password 3 times. Super annoying.

- They force me to store my data with them. Sure they're the most trusted in the industry and do their security audits, but if they get breached, I'm fucked.

- The Command + \ shortcut to autofill and login doesn't work on 1Password X

- They could have just said that their current business model wasn't achieving the goals and that they needed to charge more (I would have paid more/for a subscription) but instead, they beat around the bush by creating a new product that is inferior.

This seems like an area where technology would be well suited to help. I'm not simply saying "Just give 'em a Chromebook and a Facebook account" but VoIP and VTC would be ideal for helping the "alone elderly" be connected with the community around them... perhaps connecting with and mentoring children who are themselves frequently alone. Just a thought... it's certainly something I can easily imaging being in an Apple/Google/Microsoft keynote about how they are using technology to help improve the lives and communities of people.
I used it and was all-in, sure that this was going to change the interwebs overnight, kinda like I went all-in on XHTML & semantics (eg microformats).

One of the facets was like Facebook's wall, they called it the "fridge door" IIRC, your friends could leave messages p2p and you could open directories really easily to share with anyone who had the right credentials (your "friends"). It really did pop out the middlemen -- share files direct from your computer by giving someone a link (like you would with Dropbox, but peer to peer); message people like on Facebook, but p2p ... some of that might be anticipation of developments rather than the actual product as set. It makes a lot of sense to me.
Database Applications Also require very low levels of math.
And depending on whether you use Artificial, Convolutional Neural Networks for solving PDE's, or Image Classification will depend on the level of mathematical training you will need to verify or analyse your results.

Honestly, people handle sharing via Google Drive/Dropbox/Enterprise solution plus file naming convention.

The current enterprise network I'm on? They block Box, Dropbox, and a lot of other solutions. They instead use Citrix's ShareFile and a NAS setup with file naming.

Also remember, surprisingly most of these critical infrastructure planning isn't handled by hundreds of people, at most it's a team of 5 people who then present their findings and suggestions to the C-suite decision makers. It's not as big of a problem as many people think.
I don't know how people do that man, it's just very hard for some (quite a lot nevertheless) people to get out there and be vulnerable.
This is a core part of the design. It's part of why Julia is so useful for scientific computing, where one often has a large job that will require a lot of processing time, such that it is worth it to do an intensive JIT cycle every-time. And part of that is the analysis to take python-esque code and turning it into C levels of performance.
I'm pretty sure your edit nails it: flatpak on my moldy Debian doesn't work correctly as a non-root user, and the alternative of running it as root and then running the application as a normal user was neither intended nor foreseen.

I did finally install Debian testing, and it looks like the flatpak problems are resolved, but I decided not to bother installing foliate because of the nearly 700MB of dependencies it wanted over my rural satellite connection. C'est la vie.

Downloading confidential documents, even when they are publicly available through google, can be a legal liability.

There is at least one case in France where a security researcher/blogger faced legal issues after downloading confidential documents that where publicly available when using the correct search terms (see Bluetouff vs French justice).

I don’t know about the situation in the US for that kind of things though.

At Gym1 I talk to my lifting coach but most of the time I'm in my head focused on training, after that at Gym2 I'm just trying to do my accessory work and conditioning and don't talk to anyone other than "hey" back to "hey Ryan" from the staff at the door. I go home and my retired mother that lives with me stays in her room and I go to mine, rinse and repeat.

Not entirely by choice but all my friends are married with kids and have zero free time.

I think the intent when using those emojis is to communicate that they really are trying to be nice while giving negative news. Text is a really hard medium to convey emotion or intent through. For example, I find if I want to sound positive I end up having to add an exclamation point at the end of every sentence (“Nice job.” Vs “Nice job!”)

That all being said, I absolutely agree the emojis almost always are perceived in a way that’s opposite of the intent, e.g. smug, sarcastic, or some other negative tone.
Why though? The article never gives a scenario where this would be prudent. Would it be as an alternative to using SQLite as a library?

Ask HN: How can I find communities like web development but for space theories
I enjoy being part of front end web development. weekly newsletters/ github / hackernews are good platform to share and gain knowledge.

4 years back I was suggested by one of quora answer to subscribe to newsletters like jsweekly/cssweekly/htmlweekly/ bloggers/ twitter channels to follow etc. It helped me a lot for my learnings and keeping myself updated.

Similarly if someone has list of things to do related to scientific theories/ journals where beginners learn and share their knowledge I would really appreciate your help. Thanks.

EDIT 1: asking this to setup a reading and practicing routine. My front end routine used to be scroll feedly app while commuting and practice most interesting one after reaching office and start work. Like reading lists on daily/ weekly basis.

Dedupely's Partner API Opens for CRMs to Integrate
Last time I looked at BitWarden, its mobile app lacked basic features like a password generator and a password history tool — which makes it a total non-starter for me. I just checked and that’s been fixed (today!) and the app is looking more and more like a 1PW clone (that’s a good thing), but there were just enough papercuts that would prevent me from switching, especially when I’m a very happy 1PW user.

On the desktop, I have nothing against Electron in theory — but I prefer native apps for something like passwords, if only because of speed — I have a few thousand items in my vaults and BW was slow and 1PW is not.

Browser integration for auto fill isn’t as smooth, at least on macOS and I miss having a dedicated area for my software licenses/loyalty cards (like airlines). I haven’t used it in a while so I’d need to try it again to give it a fair assessment, but the subjective answer is “it doesn’t ‘feel’ as good.”

And unrelated to UX, I’m sure the main person behind BitWarden is a great guy, but in 2019, I’m not trusting my password manager to what is largely a one person team. When I started using 1PW in 2007, I know it was a small team. But 12 years later, I’ve been burned too often when small shops close/sell/burn-out and a password manager is too important for me to switch from something I know/trust to something that reminds me of where 1PW was a decade ago. Open source doesn’t mean open development or an active developer community. I also wasn’t impressed with the response to the critique of the cryptographic design in the security audit BW did last year. Not rotating encryption keys when you change your master password is a red flag and the problems BW faces on its own cloud are understandable, but not something I want to trust/deal with.

I’d gladly recommend BW over LastPass, but I prefer 1PW and have no intention of switching.
It’s all email based.

Likewise. I've been a long-time user, and currently a subscriber, but I've just found the direction 1P is heading, and the way AgileBits communicate a lot of this to be frustrating.

It's difficult to explain, but every time something like this comes up their responses frequently seem "off" and tone deaf.

I'm not sure they understand how much their product can become a part of how people go about their daily life, and how changing that, no matter how small, can have pretty significant effects, with an accompanying emotional response.

A while back they changed the way their vaults worked and you had to upgrade them. I've never been more nervous about an update to anything than I was with that update. The way the software communicated what was going to happen really didn't help, and there was a real feeling that this could all go horribly wrong.

Something I respect from Basecamp is their commitment to keeping their old products around (and keeping them maintained, even if they get no new features). They understand that they become a part of people's lives, and you mess that up at your peril. "Sunsetting" products or features has an impact on your customers that you need to be prepared for.

For reasons that are difficult to articulate I just don't trust AgileBits to not completely bugger up things for me in some way by changing something that they regard as unimportant, but to me is significant.

Even to me, this feels like I'm probably overreacting, but my passwords and online identities are so important that even the smallest hint of untrustworthyness is unnerving. The impact of losing all those details would be massive.
As an anecdote, I've lived the majority of my life in America (born and raised middle class on the east coast in a wealthy area) and if I was tasked with writing an account of my time here it would be focused around one thing: alienation.

American life is atomized and consistently getting more so. For anyone who sits around and thinks about why people are the way they are here I highly encourage you to consider that people are alone. Alone in life, alone at their apartment, alone when they struggle, alone when they die. It's to the point where we regard married couples that live a 20 minute drive from anything as not being alone when they really are.

Most adults I know have a relationship with their immediate family that I would regard as acquaintanceship.

Part of this is culture (Americans fetishize a sort of "rugged individualism" where you alone can solve every problem you're faced with or else it's not a real problem) and part of it is civil engineering. You need a car to live nearly everywhere, there's almost no public transit infrastructure, etc.

EDIT: Since this is popular I wanna surface something that people have been saying: it definitely doesn't require being far away physically from others to feel alone. I live in Manhattan and big cities can be extremely alienating depending on the person.
While reducing population is necessary and helpful, humans’ ability to consume is infinite, especially as it is a good proxy for power and hence a mating signal. An attitude change in our want to consume is also necessary.
GP was about how Excel lacks "access control", "auditing", "change tracking". Then OP says it'll be easier to add those things to Excel than to make non-Excel suit the purpose.

Then you say no, backwards compatibility problems. But how does Excel's need for backward compatibility make it hard to add "access control", "auditing", or "change tracking"?
When I was a yute my grandmother used to go to a senior center for cards, talk, company, and her three children lived around the corner or upstairs. In NYC that was possible: Everything walkable.

I disagree. The only option is an Intel HD Graphics 620 with an HDMI port (!) which can’t even host an external 4k monitor @ 60hz…

Some Thoughts on GraphQL vs. BFF
But that's completely artificial (and in the circumstances, outrageously spun!), because no one sane would compress a JPEG to a level where the macroblocks become flat blocks. You compress it at a resolution that captures the relevant detail, then display it with a filter that upsamples linearly. Nowhere on the internet is there an image that actually looks like this, because the "problem" being "solved" here doesn't exist in practice.

I mean, it's true that IF you do that, that h.265 will save you by having control over filtering. But that's not a fair comparison, at all.
Thousands pledge to storm Area 51
Yes, FirefoxOS was certainly web centric and mostly did not succeed. That doesn’t mean it failed /because/ it was web centric. Every mobile OS has struggled other than iOS and Android because getting adoption for a new OS is hard.

Some additional thoughts:

1) maybe shipping a new OS with hardware, catering to a privacy focused niche is key to succeed this time

2) maybe web technology wasn’t ready to have wide adoption for making cross-platform apps at the time FirefoxOS was launched, but is now

3) maybe PureOS will fail regardless of how apps are built. In my opinion, the best chance of succeeding will be from actually being useful. In order to be useful, it needs software. Unless, of course, you seriously believe that getting hackers excited by not using web technology will be a better solution.

Interview with AI Researcher Janelle Shane
• 29% of all devices tested had at least one default username and password stored in the firmware, enabling access to the device if administrators don’t change these credentials.

• We identified 76 instances of firmware where the device was, by default, configured such that a root user with a hard-coded password could log in over the SSH protocol, providing for default backdoor access.

• 8 different firmware images were found to have pre-computed authorized_keys hard coded into the firmware, enabling backdoor access to the holder of the private key.

• 424 different firmware images contained hardcoded private SSH keys, which can enable a man-in-the-middle to manipulate and/or decrypt traffic going to the device.

What a witch hunt... This is state of the art in the industry. Everybody does it like that. No intelligence agency has to be involved at all, it's basic negligence. If you're behind a NAT, your device is unlikely to be attacked via these vectors.

No one writes sane enough software (or even freaking documents) to make that doable.
That’s horrible. How is that not considered a bug?
Most websites don't have redundant servers but its still there and used by a lot of big sites.

The whole point of it is to connect to multiple A and AAAA records with a very short delay (250ms in chrome).
The browsers use poll to get notified about the first established connection and then use it.
So if one A/AAAA records IP is unreachable or slow it will use a another one.
There will be no fallout (except maybe for clients that don't use something like happy eyeballs, but any browser does that) if you have multiple A/AAAA records and one of them is down.
“Class” by Paul Fussell, is a good (if arch) read on this angle.
