Also, when you think about it, if a game behaves differently when run in an emulator, as part of an emulator-and-ROM bundled software product released by Nintendo... then that behavior is just how that particular release of the game has been canonically chosen to behave. Any bugs in the emulation of a Virtual Console title, or a SNES Classic title, or a SNES Online title, are just "how that version of the game is." Much like any typos in a particular printing of a book are "just how that release of the book is." They're now part of the authorial intent of that release; part of the text. If you later ported that game, you'd seek to be bug-for-bug compatible with the bugs introduced by that emulator, because those bugs are what Nintendo released, and so those bugs are now, in part, what it means to play that game.

Or, to put that another way: there's no real difference between a bug introduced by wrapping a game in an imperfect emulator, and a bug introduced during recompilation/porting/remastering of the game. Either way, you now have a new "variant" of the game with its own bugs, but one which is also a canonical, supported release of the game.

Interestingly, sometimes—because of one of these slight variances—the fastest [and so preferred] version of a game to speedrun, is a Nintendo-sanctioned emulated (e.g. Virtual Console) release of the game. It says something important, I think, that these releases of the game aren't automatically shunned by the speedrunning community, the way that runs of the game under an arbitrary emulator on someone's PC would be; but rather are just treated as their own separate category-set, in the same way the speedrunning community differentiates different region releases, or version releases, or port/remaster releases.

I'm not connected to anyone else commenting here, just chiming in with another data point for you.

does this mean that as a policy you won't engage with cold outreach regardless of what is being offered?

How will we know what is being offered if we don't read the message or accept the call? Unless we've had prior contact with someone or they make contact through a trusted third party, we normally won't, we'll just block and move on.

And if so, do you ever consider that such a policy may indeed hinder your business?

No, not at all. We're quite happy doing our thing, and when we identify something that seems like we could do it better, we're quite happy going out and actively looking for ways we could improve it. If someone wants our business, by far the best way to win it is simply to have a good, no-nonsense website so we can find them if we're looking.

The point of being a leader is you don't need to go through your manager when someone's wasting your team's time.
But the mitigations in AWS' VM monitor might be a fixed cost--i.e. not disabled on AMD architectures or otherwise not disadvantaging Intel. For example, they might use techniques like page coloring as an alternative to cache flushing and prediction suppression, which wouldn't disadvantage Intel, might not impose any significant overhead at all, and might even improve performance in shared hosting environments.

Alternatively, maybe their support for AMD is nascent and optimizations for Intel absent on AMD.

There's really no substitute for benchmarking AWS' actual offerings.
> I think this is the most common understanding of the term, as well.

I'd be careful assuming that. My understanding is much closer to what the main post describes, as is most of the college students I know. It's definitely just a broad term for people with an online presence, typically through Instagram, who use their online popularity for advertising on behalf of companies.

Influencers often have a bit more depth than just "booth babes", like you described. Their popularity comes from a high level of expertise in something or a great online persona.

Consider your mum having a baking Instagram. She blows up in popularity, and then starts advertising, and potentially taking more care to cultivate her audience. She is definitely an influencer, but far from what you've described.
This is both true and false. Apple stores keys on the device so they can't read your old messages, but say they want to start reading messages of a particular user, they can simply issue a new key and store it on the device and the server and start decrypting the new messages using it.

This is why WhatsApp for example notifies users when the key of the recipient changes, and they give you a way of verifying that the both keys at both ends are identical.
This will change quickly, take a look at the Abbott RealTime SARS-COV-2 test
Till the time widespread testing is ensured (and hospitals have some breather). Then test and isolate the clusters and keep relatively relaxed other "relatively unaffected" areas and not impose full blown lockdown.
It will be, but you need the whole nation on lockdown before the national zeitgeist can shift that drastically. Some states just began their shelter in place today (for example Florida and Georgia).
Looking at the example code in the readme, it looks like it doesn't even bother freeing memory. This project looks like it's just "write (a memory-leaking subset of) C++ in Typescript syntax". Maybe neat for educational purposes for people learning about the languages or learning about parsing, but doesn't seem directly useful.

Bring back guesting on the record. Should start from the top.

Life is fun. People are naturally happy. If it's not right or fun, don't do it.
"An economy" is not the same as "the" economy. It seems like it should be possible for an economy to be able to contribute to the welfare of society as a whole, and most individuals within that society. However, "the" economy that we have, does not do so. It is a severe indictment of our economy, that pausing all nonessential activity for a few months can be catastrophic to so many people, and for no good reason. As the old joke goes, "we have enough food, it's too bad there isn't enough money to buy it all".
Seriously[1]? This supposed lack of "creative content" has become the de facto standard in the domain.

I cannot agree with this strategy at all. Pay cut requires a time cut. And with that extra time, do whatever you want, but one of those things might be finding alternatives. It is not your responsibility as an employee to prop up the business.

One thing I saw in a news report here is a doctor checking in on the status in Italy - she said that they were not doing autopsies - patient was on a respirator and had symptoms or was confirmed - cause of death corona. So I'm not sure about the reasoning with testing - but I could be wrong.
Out of curiosity - what are some recent examples (both government and private)?
Thanks for the links - pyoxidizer looks promising with some good docs and being built on rust (but it won't work with QT's PySide2 likely until the next major release[0]), while briefcase looks to have been tailored to "beeware" usage and is lacking any standalone usage information. Hoping both these work out, PyInstaller works but other options would be welcomed.

That's a great point. I also observed that and the fact ratings seem fairly volatile outside the top 10. I was only noting positional changes of the languages mentioned in the article over time.

Its main point of other reasons to to choose a language than popularity is well taken but I do not thinking making using of the TIOBE index as it does argues this well.

Far too many people gather the wrong people, and stopping to excuse people is critical.
Some baking soda with water works pretty well for me and give instant relief. It doesn’t taste great (although the glass of water they follows tastes sweet, it’s funny) but it’s dirt cheap and has no adverse effects afaik.

Hi all, thank you for sharing this article here! It is technically a "laymen's" version of https://byuu.org/articles/edge-of-emulation (submitted here earlier), meant for a wider audience, but it does elaborate on some new discoveries such as the digital video output testing mode.

Process control definitely seems like one of those disciplines where the old adage

holds true.
To an extent, but that entire band is only 75MHz wide. There are only 2-4 proper channels, and it has twice the range of 5-6GHz, which puts you in competition with an order of magnitude more hot spots.
Things are getting weird. I’m not sure how many people are even going to want to go back work at a normal job after a month or two.

A lot of people losing their jobs are people making less than $20/hr, and right now unemployment pays more than working. In fact, in California if you make under $25/hr your unemployment check will be bigger than your regular check. This only goes to July 31, but this sort of distortion is going to completely upend the labor market. If you made between $7.25 and $25 an hour there is little incentive for you to look for a job until July 31.

> While all of Nintendo's official emulators are afaik made internally

I believe the consensus is that the NES classics on GBA were done using an open source emulator. The emulator itself was liberally licensed and I think someone asked the author's thoughts and they were 'ya, that's half the purpose of the license. i don't care'

Congratulations on re-inventing Emmet (and a bunch of other tools) very badly, I guess? :)

For anyone interested, the equivalent of the first example in Emmet is:

div>h1{My Post}+ul>li{I am list item $}*3^ul>li{I am a different list item $}*2

It's a lot terser, but since it uses a CSS-like syntax, it's slightly less bizarre than at first glance and not that hard to pick up. Fun tool, more powerful than it looks, and supported by a ton of editors (I believe it's enabled by default in Jetbrains IDEs, for example...).

I think it would be more along the lines of:

"if all the existing volunteer mainteners for this language went down in a single airplane accident, would businesses who depend on this language step up and fund its maintenance and could they support that organically from the margins of their business?"

When the answer is yes you have a language that is going to live forever independent of whether it's a fad this year or not etc. Which is partly why I think some seriously out-of-fashion languages keep going surprisingly strongly. Meanwhile some pretty awesome languages just wither on the vine.

I wish more people would do this. Or maybe OBS should have some (opt-out) warnings for when your audio is either unbalanced, too low or too loud. I seen way too videos or streams with bad audio levels.
btw, huge props for not mentioning teleport in that blog post. So many companies have blog posts that masquerade as tutorials for "how to do X" but then change halfway through to "OOOORRRR you can not do all that complicated stuff and just buy our product instead," which feels pretty scummy. Thanks for taking the high road.
It is quite surprising that this article not related to CS made up to top news in hacker news. There must be a lot of non-CS engineers here.

I think of Poetry as the Yarn of Python packaging for two main reasons (apart from package locking, which is the biggest similarity): the commands are more intuitive and the lockfile starts with a different letter from the dependency file. I don't know how many times I open package-lock.json instead of package.json because I tab-complete from my shell. Same with Pipfile and Pipfile.lock for anyone using Pipenv.

I wrote this post[0] that compares Poetry and Pipenv if you're interested and talks about some of their differences. Poetry has both add and install commands, whereas Pipenv only has an install command, for instance.

I'll say that StreamLabs was better before they changed their monetization model. I was lucky to download and install a few sets of overlays a few months ago that, today, would cost a minimum monthly fee to access.
The "JetBrains model" is how all software used to work. You... buy the software. And then maybe you get free updates until the next major release. If you buy the next major release then that's another "12 month subscription".
Good negotiating is a fact-finding mission. "No" is data that tells you something. "No, not this thing" is not the same as "Drop dead!"

The email response he got wasn't even as ugly he framed it in this piece. They were clearly interested and telling him when he could potentially connect with them.

Countering that with more information about his side of the equation -- that he was willing to take any role they had and his target date was the fall -- turned up more information and helped them reach agreement.

Generally speaking, it's fine to treat no as specific to X and not interpret it as a blanket rejection. And most CEOs will not be coy about letting you know that their "no" means "Sorry, you are just not a good fit for our company." They usually didn't get to be CEO by being a milquetoast.

That's not really comparable to trying to sort out how aggressively you should pursue some woman that you're probably taller than, stronger than and so forth. These are just not good points of comparison.

I'm annoyed by the "no means maybe" thing. He tries to cover himself by saying that "in dating, no always means no." But I wish he just hadn't gone there.

Too many people are already disrespectful pricks. They don't need any openings to help them justify their lousy behavior.

Anyway, congrats and thanks for the write up. It's good info, even though I think it unnecessarily steps in it on that one detail.

OBS is amazing. I've used it to record canned demos and presentations for a year or so now, and it just works great on Linux. I even use it to record demos of a wip or partially working feature that I'm working on and attach the video to issues in our gitlab instance to request feedback from stakeholders.

Its feature list is really impressive, but it's great for this kind of simple use case too. Be sure to give it a try and many thanks to the maintainers!

The Op here. In CRO we always take the approach that no one knows anything and test everything. But we usually start with what has demonstrably worked, as proven by statistically significant tests. The Trust Pilot is their actual rating, which is favorable. Why not show it? It is likely to sway new users. Do consumers check review sites before buying? If they didn't all the review sites would not be thriving.

Yes, it is a luxury brand but their promise is luxury for a steal. That is the premise of the site. Why not reinforce it at the point of purchase? For me this would be worth testing.

As for the Norton Seal, original research in 2016 shows that:

"Females were significantly more likely to trust the Norton security seal"

"35.6% of participants voted for Norton’s antivirus seal."

"Participants showed no preference between trust seals and SSL seals but did show a preference for antivirus companies (possibly due to their familiarity with them)."

And you also experience different companies. Not all companies are the same. A job title that is a nightmare in one place can be a pleasure in another. Sometimes you question yourself because you dont have recent experiences to compare it to and once you do, you may realize it was simply a bad place to work at. When you’ll look back at this you’re going to somehow be grateful it happened this way. This will open you to new experiences. Granted, you’re gonna be forced out of uour comfort zone.
