It's a good question. I don't think anyone's ever put together a definitive list. I don't even remember any specific examples off-hand, just that some games would be mentioned as being dual releases in Nintendo Power coverage. (This happened a lot more with NES + GB or SNES + GB dual-releases, but these are obviously not "source ports" but rather ground-up rewrites, so not interesting here.)

But that doesn't mean that we can't figure it out! Grabbing the No-Intro databases (https://no-intro.org), and then intersecting the romset names between the NES and SNES lists, gives me this list: https://gist.github.com/tsutsu/0a9d7dbaa3cb7bb1929b31d7bc878.... About 82 games!

Of course, some of those are sequels that just happen to share a name; some are ground-up-rewrite-style dual releases; and some are just unofficial ports — people trying to recreate a SNES game on the NES or vice-versa, without access to the original code. But there are likely a good few in there that were SNES-enhanced-NES-code dual-releases.

If someone here is a gaming content-creator, there's a very unique deep-dive essay waiting to be written here, about how these games work. (Retro Game Mechanics Explained, I'm looking at you.)

I strongly disagree with internet censorship, but how is that "corrupt"?

Pushing for something that may be objectively terrible and is agreed by everybody is objectively terrible, may be terrible, but it is still not corrupt.

Words have meanings, and for that to be corrupt it would also require that the person pushing for it was doing so not because they believed it was the right thing to do, but because they were doing it for nefarious reasons such as having been bribed, or only because it would personally enrich themselves.

Have you noticed that the death rate is possibly creeping upwards again? It’s simply too early to say.

When I arrived back in Stockholm (from the countryside) three weeks ago, the town was very empty: our family was alone eating lunch in a central Italian restaurant on a Sunday. Now the streets are full again, but covid takes 3-4 weeks to take hold again.

Merkel was reelected because there was no feasible Alternative. She is a good politican with proper experience and Connections especially on the international stage, But her politics is as shit AS the rest. One of the reasons why right wing parties are on the up. Think of her as the equivalent to biden. The only thing she has going is that one can assume with certainty she is not gonna fuck shit up so hard, but there are certainly better ways. Fun fact: merkel actually announced she would not be up for re-election in 2021.

Ask HN: Form Website: NoSQL vs. Relational?
I have limited experience with databases, so this has been tricky to answer for me. I'm building a website where users "own" some forms they can send others to fill out. Later on these forms get compiled together and they can see some basic analytics on the data.

At the moment these forms are premade but long term I'd want these default forms to be extensible. I'm productionizing my demo (built on MongoDB) and trying to figure out if I want to migrate to Postgres.

It just seems like building something like this would require creating countless tables for every different form type adding much complexity. I've been pretty happy with Mongo's data validation. At the same time a lot of this data seems relational and I'm worried this could turn into a nightmare over time on Mongo. Seems like no one has good things to say online about it.

Not sure if anyone has input and could point me in a direction. Any help is appreciated.
I got another data point that (potentially) supports your claim. Peru here. Highest death per million habitants in the world (not the numbers reported by the Ministry of Health that is artificially reducing the numbers).

In Perú we are (sadly) keeping track of the pandemic by comparing the daily death count from previous years with the one for this years. You can safely assume:
- there is no contact tracing
- adherence to mask usage is good
- social interactions are generally avoided with the usual folks that don't pay attention and an increase in those interactions every week.

These are the "death curves" of every region:

https://imgur.com/a/CWiUPiC

This is what happens when your government does not do anything and pretty much every one gets infected and your healthcare system collapses. You get a high spike in daily deaths and then a sharp drop (Lima is a special case for many reasons - size and geography).

The first thing I do when deploying to an existing machine/hard metal: I Grab the pyenv installer, set it up.

Then I build python on target machine.

MAKE_OPTS="-j8" CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-shared --enable-optimizations --with-computed-gotos" CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe" pyenv install -f 3.8.5

This takes a while but end result is a well enough optimized python. I also replace standard asyncio loop with uvloop to speed things up a little for async tasks.
They're not really exclusive concepts and you don't want to bother with DOD if your n is low.

Tokenizers usually need to retain some information about where each token came from, like the range in the source.

In C++ I might do it like this:

struct token {
string::iterator start;
string::iterator end;
};

and then the range in the original source can be recovered via:

size_t offset = tok.start - src.begin();

What is the preferred way to do this in Rust? Is there something better than using indexes?

Technically that was "last flu season", not the upcoming flu season, and it was relatively mild. It is hard to predict if 2020-2021 will be similar, or 2017 levels, or 2009 levels. At minimum it will add more strain to medical services.

Neither one is a great way to measure market share. Using tracking pixels is notoriously bad though, because it tends to lead to an echo-chamber like effect. Not everyone with a device will visit a site with the specific browser tracking code, and many people will visit those sites many times from different IP addresses, and even different browsers installed on their device. There are many ways tracking code can lead to false statistics.

Units shipped doesn't tell the whole story either, but it is a specific metric that doesn't suffer from bots gaming things or any of the other problems that using stats based on tracking code can lead to.

> Can you provide a citation? I've spent five minutes on Google and all results indicate the opposite, that the title "founder" holds no legal meaning or standing.

It's called registering your company? It varies from state to state and country to country.

> It does look like you need an agreement with the board and through shareholders to hold the title (and the title would be helpful in some situations), but that the title itself is meaningless from a legal definition.

Yes. I guess the founder is not a "legal definition". But when you ( and your cofounders ) legally register the company, you are the founder.

Certainly it's not simply what others say it is. If you say I'm the founder of microsoft, it doesn't make it so. We can see who legally founded ( aka registered ) the company.

Yeah. You can always manually check & download the drivers from NVIDIA's website, like people used to do until geforce experience was released. Then there were a few blissful years where it was just a simple auto-updater for your GPU drivers. Then NVIDIA wanted to expand. I guess they view it as a transaction: in return for your login, you get driver auto-updates. Don't like it? Get used to checking the website. I'm thinking I'll go AMD for my next rig. Their linux support is apparently much better.

If you are 1.70 m and have a BMI of above 30, your weight is more than 86.7 kg.

This is known and heavily used by the game industry for a long time now.

Ultimately it comes down to data locality and there's no silver bullet. Performance varies with your data access pattern and code must be adapted to keep caches as warm as possible.

There are also maintainability trade-offs. In general I'd advise this kind of optimization only for performance-critical code like games.

For more information on how game development approaches this, read about Entity Component Systems. Here's a good start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxI3Eu5DPwE
There is a simple solution to the obesity epidemic: levy a heavy tax on any kind of sugar or grain that enters the food system and use the money to subsidize red meat.

A carnivore diet that avoids plant-based foods altogether is ideal for human health and is almost impossible to remain obese on.

For faster or more thorough weight loss cut out dairy as well. Find more information at https://MeatRx.com/
There’s a naive equation for herd immunity which takes the unmitigated transmission rate or R0 of ~3 and calculates 1 - 1/R0 = .66.

This is the upper limit on the threshold (what I call the “naive herd immunity rate”) assuming there are no unaccounted for effects which would otherwise reduce R0.

Improved personal hygiene, social distancing, PPE, contact tracing, are all various behavioral ways that we have reduced the transmission rate below 2, which reduces the herd immunity needed to get transmission below 1 as long as those measures persist. Another way to say this is that if social measures get us to 1.3 then the infection still spreads until ~25% are infected.

The natural immunity discussed in the article is effectively a free boost to your current herd immunity rate. If serological studies show 20% had been infected, but then you can add another 30% on top of that, you are effectively already at 50% herd immunity.

I’m not sure what you mean by starting from a happy assumption. The real world data shows us that there is irrefutably something working to either reduce R0 or effectively boost the herd immunity level which isn’t showing up in the serological studies. TFA refers to several studies which show scientific evidence of a biological process that can explain what’s happening in the real world.

We can accurately estimate the Rt by just looking at positivity rates, test count, and positive case count. Either R0 is much lower than initially calculated, or effective immunity level is higher than serology tests have shown. I suppose you can pick one, but Sweden at least is a strong datapoint that it’s a function of immunity not social suppression measures.

I wonder how much work it would be to turn it into a proper CAD tool. I would donate a significant chunk of my paycheck to Blender if it supported parametric CAD.

Obviously that would be pocket change to the Blender Foundation, but if enough people did then maybe it would be worth it. I'd wager there a fairly big group of people like me who need somewhat decent CAD for hobby use. And if those who can afford to pay put that money towards Blender, we could make it better overall for those who can't.
I assume you meant "algorithm", but I wouldn't call it that either.
Yes, you could try to exploit this to make them register a bunch of domains, but it costs them basically nothing, and you'd be rate limited/banned for the suspicious behavior long before it put a dent in their wallet.

But until future happens, we're stuck with the present. And in this present DDG doesn't do weird tricks with your data.
Fully exploited. Space Invaders was a partial exploitation at best. It was just a tiny stateless SNES ROM-image, that got loaded from the GB cart's ROM into the SNES's tiny work RAM, and then executed from there (leaving approximately zero WRAM for actual gameplay state. Good thing it was Space Invaders!)

A full exploitation, IMHO, would look more like the thing Pokemon Stadium did with Pokemon RBY — but done purely in-cart in the GBC game. A SNES game that "interacts with" a GBC game through the SRAM, such that you're playing the same game, two different ways, when you put it in your SNES vs. when you put it in your Gameboy. (Pretty much like Dragon Quest XI Definitive Edition's ability to reboot the game between 3D and 16-bit mode.)

Of course, to do that, you'd need actual separate ROM chips in the GBC cart for the SNES game, so that the SNES ROM-image could be larger than WRAM yet still fast. All that ROM would be untenable to fit into a GBC-cart sized cartridge even in 2003, the last year of the GBC's lifetime. It'd be perfectly doable now, though!)
Mass replication is older than you think. In Ancient Rome when poets recited, it was common for an amanuensis in the crowd to copy down what was being recited. Copies would then be made by a team of slaves and sold in the marketplace without any of that money going to the poet. And yet there was absolutely no moral outrage at this.

The only thing people objected to (a famous case is Martial in one of his epigrams) was someone passing off those poems as his own work. That is, there is a stronger case across space and time for disapproval of plagiarism, but the notion of copyright only arose in the West a few centuries ago, and still much of the world does not take it seriously.

I am 6' and weight 190-195, I was 175 before the pandemic. I am considered overweight now, though I don't think I quite meet the obesity requirements. I think the pandemic and its stress toll has given people something the equivalent of the "Freshman 10."
My guess is that the new sleep tracking features are a part of health (not clock, where they would be out of place). Since bedtime is also sleep related, it got moved to health as well.

I was always suspicious of godaddy and you never know which domain registrars would go rogue in this respect in the future.
