I'm 24, for reference. I grew up playing multiplayer games on the gamecube with my brother and friends from school. super smash bros melee, mario party 4-7, mario baseball/tennis/golf/soccer, wario ware inc, kirby air ride. etc. I actually remember trading my xbox classic for my uncle's gamecube because super smash bros looked so much fun.

Aside from that, there are a few points as to why dolphin is nice:

1. The roms are "free". I ripped mine a long time ago but there are a lot of rom sites online. Not that I find it unethical since Nintendo would not be making money from used game sales anyway. This is probably the biggest draw because playing a regular indie game means our entire friend group needs to pay $10-$30. I wish all my friends had copies of Gang Beasts or Tabletop Simulator, but they don't.

2. Honestly, these games are still quite fun in 2020. Nothing really captures the mood of gamecube-era mario party games. The new one for the switch is kinda fun, but remains watered-down compared to the originals. Not that I would play these daily but they're fun as a variety mix. As far as other 4-player couch co-op games go, there aren't that many that are that fun that 3 of my friends own. Gang Beasts would be fun... if anyone actually owned it.

Mario sports games are... something else as well. Aside from baseball, which has hilariously bad controls, soccer/tennis are nice mix of skill and bs. The new mario tennis for the switch is pretty fun, but I think I'm biased for the original (and all the memories I have of competitions with friends at LAN parties). Games like Lethal League are in that vein, though.

There is no other game like wario ware inc, that I've seen.

3. Computer performance hasn't been a huge issue (thus far). We've played cross-platform with linux, windows, and osx dolphin clients without a hitch. Our weakest link is a macbook pro from ~2015.

4. Pretty much everyone has a computer, whereas systems are fragmented. I don't own (and don't plan to own) an xbox or ps4, and not everyone has a switch. Or, a switch and the $60 nintendo game everyone wants to play.

I still play modern games like tf2- oh wait, that came out in 2007. Like street fighter III:3s- oh, that released in 1999, three years after I was born. Dwarf fortress? Not released... but it doesn't look like a game from 2020. Chess..? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Jokes aside, there are multiplayer games for the PC like stardew valley (2016), animal crossing: new horizons (2020), terraria (2011), etc, that me and my friends have enjoyed.

For pc games that have co-op, but only locally, I want to try parsecgaming [0] soon.

Eben Upton Tells the Raspberry Pi Story
Entanglement and interference are computing resources like SPACE, or TIME, with space and time still being represented, because quantum computation is a superset of normal computation (according to the quantum church turing thesis).

The substrate of quantum computing enables quantum parallelism (a register equally likely to be all possible integers, for example) and quantum interference (operations that can funnel such values).

It changes the problem from one of action at a distance to local interaction. Instead of "field lines", I would say "field". Field lines are just one way of visualizing a field.

So, if we don't have the notion of fields, then we have a kind of situation of how does object A know about remote object B. Like how does one object know about the motions of literally every other object in the Universe. Perplexing.

Once you come up with the idea of a field, okay you have to at some level accept that there are fields that permeate all of space. But what this intellectual cost buys you is that now an object only has to sense the field local to it to respond to all objects in the universe.

Think of objects bobbing on the ocean. One way to conceptualize that is that any object anywhere could cause this object here to bob in some way. How does this object know about all the other objects? Instead we could say that there is ocean everywhere. Locally, objects bobbing put ripples into the ocean. Locally, ripples cause objects to bob. Each object no longer needs to "know about" every other object it just needs to react to the ripples at its location, and the ripples get sent out from its location.

Does this help?

A few thoughts:

1. There's a fixation on contact tracing without recognition that it's useless without isolation. In-home isolation will infect other occupants. Voluntary isolation doesn't scale. Asian countries doing effective test+trace+isolation already know this. Think of it terms of kill chain F2T2EA: find, fix, track, target, engage, assess. You have to execute the entire loop for effect. The ability to force people quarantine is probably a greater obstacle to liberty depending on local context that needs more discussion.

2. This is going to be EU's Huawei moment. Reliance on US tech for internal policy security that is subject to US political whims is going to cause further exacerbate calls of technological divestment. Who decides when covid19 crisis is over? What if EU want to keep contact tracing in place long term if it's the only ubiquitous system in place for reinstating schengen. I surmise some sort or global digital cordon sanitarie is going to be with us for a while, especially if we want to resume international travel.

Passionate? not really much anymore. There are a number of things I'll take fleeting interest in after reading / watching some stuff, ranging from different technical subjects, to scientific subject, etc. Nothing ever seems to stick, though.
* Lie algebras and Lie groups - I still don't understand this, what they're used for or how to use them in any practical sense.

* Galois Theory - I have a basic understanding of abstract algebra but for some reason Galois theory confounds me, especially as it relates to the inability of radical solutions to fifth and higher degree polynomials

* "State-of-the-art" Quantum Entanglement experiments and their purported success in closing all loopholes

* Babai's proof on graph isomorphism being (almost/effectively) in P - specifically how it might relate to other areas of group actions etc.

* Low density parity checks and other algorithms for reaching the Shannon entropy limit for communication over noisy channels

* Hash functions and their success as one-way(ish)/trapdoor(ish) functions - is SHA-2 believed to be secure because a lot of people threw stuff at the wall to see what stuck or is there a theoretical backpinning that allows people to design these hashes with some degree of certainty that they are irreversible?

Not sure what's wrong with that? That looks pretty amazing actually. I live in a unit that looks similar to that near downtown Chicago. My unit is north facing, and even so, there's more than enough sunlight.
how does running the app stop you from getting the virus?
>The descriptions range from "highly infections, potentially causes strokes in otherwise young healthy people" to "highly infectious, young people often display no symptoms at all".

Both those things can be true at the same time.

I saw one German doctor (from Charité Berlin I think?) who did over 100 autopsies on TV saying in all cases he had on his table there were preexisting conditions (and the older the more likely you have one or more of those). But he also said that the young and "healthy" people he looked at also had preexisting conditions that usually were never diagnosed before.

This reminded me of a buddy in school, who went for the routine mandatory checkup before the mandatory military service (since been abandoned), a jock-type who seriously considered joining up voluntarily to become a jet fighter pilot, and ended up learning he only had one kidney since birth. Something he never knew or suspected and never had any issue with because he was otherwise young and healthy, but which could come back to bite him when he gets old or when he contracts some serious disease (like this one maybe).
I suppose you're right, in that it's possible that a) coronavirus increases your risk of stroke & because of that we're seeing some young people have strokes that otherwise wouldn't and b) the vast majority of young people are asymptomatic ... but that doesn't really address my broader point, which is that this virus seems to be way worse in some regions and essentially a non-issue in others.
Many of the cases seemed to be focused on arrays, which in my non-exhaustive experience you'll see more of in postgres than in other platforms. Same for lateral join, hstore, jsonb...

I've spent the last few years working on my willpower. No improvement.

Recently I've been creating social pressure to keep habits (agree to do something every day) and the willpower required is 0 and the results are amazing.

No because this is an introduction to programming using JavaScript. A quick look at the table of contents shows Part 1 teaches basic OOP, Part 2 teaches basic client side web development, and Part 3 teaches basic server side development using Node. Having read the 2nd edition of this book, I can assure that if you can explain what any of the 3 main topics described in this book are in a few sentences, then you have advanced well beyond this book being useful.
>But the fact remains that it is impossible to prove and it is conveniently well equipped to handle this situation. I'd prefer an argument that presupposes the Copenhagen interpretation as that is when my intuition fails.

Is that not like trying to get a better intuition for planetary movement by using an epicycle-based model? The fact that the interpretation is conveniently shaped in a way that a paradox isn't an issue is not a coincidental thing that should be overlooked in the spirit of fairness to alternative interpretations. Regardless, I think my post below is useful for answering your want.

>So now we're back to the essence of the original question - if these things seem random why do we know that they're in fact deterministic without any hidden variables?

The world is only deterministic under Many-Worlds, and it's deterministic in the sense of "each outcome happens (mostly) separately". It doesn't make any sense to try to make sense of the "deterministic" part separately from MWI. MWI is the only deterministic QM theory (unless you're going to consider "superdeterminism", but there's nothing concrete to that interpretation besides "what if there existed a way that we had QM+determinism but not MWI". There's no basis to it, besides a yearning from people that like the abstract idea of determinism and don't like the abstract idea of MWI).

EPR doesn't tell us that the world is deterministic. It tells us that local hidden variable interpretations (where experiments have a single outcome) of QM can't work, because it shows that a measurement on a particle can appear to you to affect the measurement made by someone else on a distant particle. The Copenhagen interpretation response to this is that the wave function collapse must be faster than light. Therefore, the Copenhagen interpretation is not a "local" theory. (The Copenhagen interpretation doesn't give us any answer for who we should expect to trigger this wave function collapse first when two measurements are taken simultaneously at a distance though.)
IMO, no. It has too much ceremony to demonstrate concepts. It's for absolute beginners.
I'm no expert in the matter, but I guess the problem is somewhat solved as the magnet then interacts with the field lines and these with the other magnet. It depends on how real you believe these invisible magnetic lines are. The magnetic field turned out to be a very real entity, as when it is perturbed these perturbations travel at the speed of light, and the second magnet feels them with a slight delay. The perturbations also manifest themselves as EM radiation/light.

Nice victim blaming. The problem is the chipsets, not the retailer.
No, Codea is a full featured Lua IDE for iOS, and there are lots of other programming environments too. What they prohibit is compilation to native code. If you have an interpreter (like lli, in this case), that’s fine.
I'm seeing really mixed messages on this.

I saw a tweet yesterday about having to leave the screen on, but it turns out the source website was updated to remove that line, and that's not how the app works. However, there are also screenshots on Twitter of lock screen notifications saying that the app needs to be open so I don't know any more...
Gravity and magnetism are two phenomena that I always imagined could actually be explained in higher dimensions (except we can't see those higher dimensions so it'd be just speculation).

Imagine two circles in 2D that repel each other the closest you get them together, like magnets do. In 2D it would look like they're interacting at a distance, but maybe in 3D they're two cylinders that are a bit flexible, that are actually touching at the ends, but not in the 2D plane you're observing. The interaction is "properly physical" in 3D but in the 2D plane it seems magical.

That's a way that I imagine it in 2D vs 3D, so this might be similar in 3D vs ND, where N > 3. Of course this is all baseless speculation, but it seems kinda plausible in my head.

Hmm... well I'm not aware of an existing term that refers specifically to either the master or slave in a master-slave scenario.

And any other logical word I can imagine ("version", "copy", "split", "part", etc.) seems just as confusing as "partition". And at least "partition" decently suggests the general idea. The other strategy -- using a made-up word like "flimflam" -- is potentially even more confusing.

What are you suggesting instead?

They don't. This is a pet-peeve of mine, and it's reinforced by animation after animation.

Everything is being jostled around randomly. The molecules don't have brains or seeker warheads. They can't "decide" to home in on a target.

The only mechanisms for guidance are: diffusion due to concentration gradients, movement of charged molecules due to electric fields, and molecules actually grabbing other molecules.

It's all probabilities. This conformation makes it more likely that this thing will stick to this other thing. You may have heard that genes can be turned on or off. How? DNA is literally wound on molecular spools in your cell nuclei. When the DNA is loosely wound other molecules can bump into it and transcribe it -- the gene is ON. When the DNA is tightly spooled, other molecules can't get in there and the gene is OFF for transcription. There's no binary switch, just likelihoods.

Everything is probabilistic, but the probabilities have been tuned by evolution through natural selection to deliver a system that works well enough.
An internal project budget is to prevent other teams from just endlessly requesting features from the internal developers, i.e. they cannot treat the internal development team as free. It also prevents them from hoarding the developers.

Most of the time the billing is just budget shuffling.

So, your question is a little off, because propeller thrust changes dramatically with airspeed. Propeller aircraft are typically referred to as being "power producers", i.e. we talk about power when we analyze props, not about thrust, because the mechanics and mathematics behind propeller thrust are annoying and complex.

But to get to the heart of your question: You want to reduce the prop diameter (ground clearance perhaps? The engineer in me asks why you don't just make the landing gear taller) and not change the engine. You don't actually have to add blades (maybe). You could also just make the existing blades fatter, or change the airfoil, or increase the propeller RPM. Lots of ways to attack that.

But, playing along that adding blades is the only way:

1) Take your existing high-wing plane and calculate power required for all phases of flight: Take-off, climb, cruise, etc.

2) Take your new low-wing plane with its smaller prop diameter and work backwards to ensure you can actually meet the power requirements to stay aloft through your envelope. Adding blades reduces efficiency because the blades' wakes interfere with each other so you'll have to dig into some experimental data based on the prop of your choice. Much depends on blade pitch and washout.

Very likely you will need to increase the RPM (if your engine can deliver enough power) or change engines to a more powerful model because your props are now less efficient.

Such is the nature of aircraft design - almost nothing can be changed without affecting something else.
> own a decent house (e.g. one that gets sunlight)

I'm not sure this is that important a criterion for most people. Pre-lockdown, I'd leave the house before the sun came up, and got home barely in time to catch the sunset. If I wanted sunlight, I could walk a block in either direction.

I actually have a preference for living in shadier (as in shade, not crime) parts of town, especially neighborhoods with tree-lined streets/boulevards.
That would be true in some cases (though, frankly, almost everything about professional politics could be considered fraudulent in the corporate world and that's one reason why I left the business) but not here.

I was a media and strategy consultant, which means that - other than helping campaigns figure out what to do - my primary job was to spend other people's money in support of a candidate or issue. There are a lot of nuances here (coordinated vs. independent expenditures, state vs. federal laws, etc.), but broadly it's not the candidate's money to do with as they please.

Donors typically give that cash with the implicit understanding that we'll deploy it more effectively and dispassionately (and, admittedly, with fewer restrictions) than a campaign would.

They still need to maintain a good relationship with the candidate, though, which is where things like targeted ad buys with the intent of "managing up" come in.

I'm saying the AMD chipsets are bad, the mobo manufacturers don't really do anything different from each other these days, and they're hiding behind the very few parts that they qualify for their boards. If the RAM comes from a brand name, it should work in the motherboard regardless of QVL.

Don't get these problems on AMD server/workstation platforms. You don't get them anywhere on Intel. But hey, the main article here also gave the nod to Intel in chipset/driver so I must just be all emotional spin.

Agreed. If they fixed up their lack of work/life balance it would be a workers paradise.
It can sometimes be a much simpler issue. For example twice a connector came off on my 2012 MacBook Pro that meant it wouldn’t power on. Both times Apple reseated it for me for free. Although sadly Apple stores aren’t open right now.

With regards to board repair though that certainly happens quite a bit and if you wanted to understand that better I’d suggest watching Louis rossmans videos on YouTube.
