The docs were probably better than they were for the NES. Nintendo's were poor translations from the already sparse Japanese version (think of an entire book full of the Engrish found in early NES games). Australian developer Beam Software did good business writing their own NES docs that were much more user-friendly.

Dominic Arsenault goes into why this was something of a deliberate strategy for Nintendo in his book on the SNES, Super Power, Spoony Bards, and Silverware.
That gave me a chuckle. I take it you work in finance and a subtle form of front running is literally what bulge bracket trading desks do day in day out.

Hello Ted.
A bit off-topic but I was wondering if you were aware of the massive amount of malicious sites that use NameCheap?

And do you have a better way of going about flagging these sites other than the “abuse” email that shows when doing a WhoIs lookup?
I agree.

I want to see all BLM, Antifa and other looting pedophiles and rapists get run over by MAGA truck.
Really? Because when I try to transfer xxx.yyy.name, it says: "Uh-oh! Your domain yyy.name is not eligible for transfer to us." I don't own yyy.name. I own xxx.yyy.name.

(Of course xxx and yyy are placeholders here.)

Edit: xxx.yyy.name comes from the .name registry, just like xxx.co.uk comes from the .uk registry.
> It is a lot of work, but scaling anything is. What issues, specifically, are you alluding to that Java would solve?

Ruby is slow, Java is fast. When you have to modify the runtime of a language because its too slow: https://engineering.shopify.com/blogs/engineering/optimizing...

Reading all those blogs from Shopify show that they spend a lot of time fighting a slow language.

It reminds me of Facebook and their Hack stuff, it's pretty much the same in what Shopify is getting into, they have something slow and really big and not way to get out of it so they just poor money to make it fast even if it means only the syntax resemble the original language.

Some compagnies faced the same problem, quick quick release something to iterate fast ( Rail / Python) but then after when it gets too big you're in real troubles and stuck with it. Twitter, Youtube, Facebook all had that problem.
Making claims such as "... decarbonising energy will avoid the chaos of unchecked climate change ..." is disingenuous given the inertia (politically and physically) of current fossil fuel use. Some would argue that the damage has already proceeded beyond human control and we (or the next generation) is in for a wild ride.
This is a weird little game - regular checkmates are often not, because the king can just escape back in time or across timelines, but threatening a king's past self is pretty easy - it can't escape having been where it was. And you only need one checkmate to win, because you have to make a move on all boards where it's your turn (even if you have no pieces there - you have to move one there!).

You can also give check with a king, because of the quirk that only "the present" can threaten check. At least, I think that's why it works.
Err, there's still a free tier for everyone. There's also free tier with additional features for educators and students.

Yeah, someone does. So if you want free software, someone needs to pay. Free isn't really free.

You still pay for a library membership, or like you said tax dollars for community center. Free bikes on craigslist almost 90% of times needs investment. Let's stop pretending that hobbies are actually free.
I share the opinion that DoD is an optimization technique, and that it shouldn't be applied too generously from the get-go; you're essentially optimizing for specific usage patterns, which might be difficult to predict and often are contradictory.

What one can consider is to use ECS. The separation of data and logic into components allows you to apply DoD in a more predictable way. The data which is unique to a particular component can in this way be vectorized across entities.

The ECS approach doesn't solve the problem of data shared between components though, and like others in here I'm also interested in solutions which could optimize access in the same way that relational databases can optimize multiple different access patterns to the same data.

I wouldn't take the risk of checking a domain name with any domain registrars, use ICANN WHOIS.

Which is a very different use case from being a sysadmin for a network used by a large university, which is the use case of the author of the subject post. So it's not surprising that the "obvious and simple" solution that works for you doesn't work for him.

Also, the post discusses the option of using a virtual environment and explains why that option was not taken. So it's not like your "obvious and simple" solution was not considered. It just didn't turn out to be the right solution for this author's use case. (For one thing, the author explicitly notes that there is no "home" directory for this use case in which a venv can be easily set up.)
I’m paid to manage a penguin farm.

Weak penguins need additional feeding. Thin penguins are just thin.

But there’s no objective criteria to tell weak from thin. And I have a budget.

Only about 40% of spending on roads in the US comes from tolls and fuel taxes [0]. It's not correct to call them "nearly as regressive as a toll": in terms of regressiveness, they're halfway between funding them from tolls and funding them from income/property/sales taxes.

> masks are a distraction at best

Wat.

This study[1] from China reports on infections at one hospital in Wuhan in January.

Of 493 medical staff, 278 were in the "quarantine" area. This included the respiratory department that would have had very intimate contact with the infected. There were zero cases of SARS-Cov-2 among the staff.

Of the 213 staff from other departments that were _not_ in close, continuous contact with the infected (but also not taking infection control measures), there were 10 cases in a less than three week span.

Masks are in no way "marginally" helpful. If worn properly and used alongside other basic measures such as hand washing, they are extremely effective even in absence of social distancing measures.

This meta-study[2] compiles information on effectiveness from a dozen different studies across healthcare and non-healthcare groups. Effectiveness varies, but almost every single study shows decreased transmission with masks. Taken at aggregate among those that weren't healthcare workers, your risk of infection is halved by wearing a mask.

The CDC has repeatedly claimed that if everyone wore a mask the outbreak in the US would be under control in one to two months.

Simply social distancing does not remove the risk of infection as we've seen time and time again. The droplets don't hit some magical barrier as soon as they're 2 metres away from the source.

Masks are not virtue signalling or safety theater.

free speech should only be allowed for people to express Correct ideas. namely, ideas that i happen to agree with.

everyone else should not have the right to free speech, and if they do speak freely, then they are Fascists who deserve to be arrested, tried, convicted and shot.

sadly, while this sounds like hyperbole or sarcasm, this is exactly what a large percentage of people really do believe.

you can't have free speech when a near majority wants to abolish it. therefore, ot's already too late.

Rhino also has Grasshopper for parametric/programmable design. The visual code aspect can be a little tedious though.
I have to agree, I travel Europe alot too, meals in London and Prague are plenty big. I had a seven course dinner in Paris that my Local friend took me too to share a place she would regularly go with her family, who are quite thin. I think a combination of multiple factors including less sugars, ample walking, a general culture of baseline thinness, and cheap/affordable/healthy snacks at bodegas/grocery stores. I tend to lose weight in europe by adopting this lifestyle, coffee and a croissant in the morning, a small cold cuts and cheese for lunch and a large dinner with wine. This is also a metropolitan lifestyle, could it be that city life is more conductive to staying thin?

Last time I went to london though, the obesity problem was looking bad.

One other point I want to make is that young people in europe do tend to look healthier than young people in america, I believe the food quality and standards/lower supply of fast food franchises helps alot. Quick food in europe tends to offer healthier and higher quality options.
So many questions. Like, do you really need pokemon to live?

And why specifically Super Castlevania, which is regarded as kind of a garbage castlevania (the player sprite is bigger so you get less of a heads up on whats ahead, and it's not part of the "metrovania" pantheon).

Why Fusion and Super Metroid?

Does the original LoZ hold up as well as say Link's Awakening?

Why are there only 3 companies represented on this list? Did Capcom run over your pet dog?

Not interested doesn't work. One or two weeks later it 'forgets' your preferences and someone else uploads the same content as a clip so it gets suggested too.

Googling around shows there used to be a 'Don't recommend this channel' button which would be awesome to have back.

I find it very annoying listening to a two hour debate, understanding difficult topics and then disagreeing with the speaker and being unable to block content from said speaker.

There's a bunch of one-topic people pushing their opinions out to the youtube user base and it would be great not to have to see their face in 30 different suggestions after you find yourself deeply disagreeing with their opinions or you're just done with their conversations after hearing all of their views.

Budget encryption – attacking a weak crypto system
With Python the future is here but it is not evenly distributed. In particular, it's been depressing to see that "any answer at all" has so often won out against "a correct answer".

Java has been a safe place to deploy code to because of its xenophobia. You don't expect Java to be linked into endless C libraries, and Java often doesn't come pre-installed thanks to license issues. (Maybe Larry Ellison is rich because you read "INSTALL JAVA TO EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF JAVA". The consequence is that you got a clean copy of Java and that your clean copy of Java won't break all the crapplets that came with your OS that expected an ancient Java that came with the OS.

Python got a boon from being shipped w/ most Linux distros, but it was also a setback... On Linux "python" became a synonym for "python 2" because otherwise you'd break the system scripts. (Today it drives me nuts that Microsoft added "python" to the past on Windows because Windows was the one operating system where you didn't have to hide the system Python to get a good Python)

"venv" is genius but conda got so much mindshare that many people never realized "venv" could do everything "conda" does except for corrupting internal data structures that force a periodic reinstall.

The consequence is that "best practices" haven't been institutionalized in most places, you have to continuously fight bad practices, and people like the poster are always inventing non-solutions to the problem venv solves.

(e.g. for instance, what about the person who uses a Docker container to keep python environments apart as opposed to one who uses venv?)

30 workers isn't a lot for a power plant. According to this article[0] (ignore the coal stuff) a decent gas turbine plant takes ~25 workers to keep it running, and that's for a system whose energy source can just be piped in rather than having to be constantly babysat so it doesn't irradiate the tri-county area. That's kinda the flaw of a steam turbine based system; it doesn't matter if the heat comes from coal, uranium, concentrated solar, whatever, you still need people around to make sure the system with superheated steam and a big heavy turbine spinning really, really fast doesn't go wrong.

If we were to discuss politics at work at any length we would be at immediate risk of losing valuable people. We all pretty much know where we stand on politics, and it is not together. And many of us feel very strongly about our irreconcilable positions. But by carefully not talking about them (or engaging when someone less in tune starts) we get along just fine. That's not official policy but it is a good one.

I am referring to the explicitness of the code. What the code does is not hidden behind symbols, for example. I probably have learnt enough to cover Ada by learning other programming languages, but it somehow does not apply to reading Rust vs. reading Ada, is what I meant. Of course you do have to follow some guidelines to make the code even more readable, but still. For me, without knowing Ada and Rust, Ada is way much easier to understand. Ada was designed with maintainability and readability in mind, and I think it shows, at least according to my experience. People have written stuff like "I see Ada as a verbose language, however, unlike say Java, the verbosity actually benefits readability.". I find it to be true.

Perhaps you could compare some Ada code (something from AdaCore (GNAT, GNATColl)) with the Rust equivalent.
> But now your Point2D code needs to be aware of the Point3D code.

Not at all! You write the archetype management code once, and then the Point2D code just asks it for Point2Ds, nothing else, and that doesn't change no matter how you use Point2D elsewhere.

Well, that's how this was discovered, as a clever hack that worked. In the 1940s.

But it was subsequently understood much better, in the 70s. There are no infinities involved in thinking about renormalisation group flow.

That progress seems like exactly the story the article is trying to tell.

It's indeed not so different from the story of calculus. You don't even need Dirac, the very basic idea of calculus is a hack for dividing zero by zero without getting confused, which later got nicely cleaned up to became respectable mathematics.
I think this is an interesting question because HN is relatively quiet relative to the bigger events deep in crypto land (eg. new protocols / markets / etc), whereas for everything else tech, speculative or not, you usually see HN activity.

So I think the hype is still on its way up (looking at things like DeFi), but I think the overlap between the crowd that's hyped + HN readers is slowly decreasing (even as a lot of that crowd reads HN today).
That is extremely cool. Poetry.

> Nvidia has always been notorious for making people use the "good stuff" (expensive) even though it's not really required.

Do you think that these Quadro features materialized out of thin air, or did they require engineering effort and additional silicon area?

If the latter, is it reasonable for Nvidia to expect to be compensated for that additional effort (which is born by, say, 2 orders of magnitude lower volume) ?

Additionally, would you be happier if Nvidia simply removed those features so that no home users would complain anymore (at the expense of Quadro users who would lose the ability to use real features.)

And, using my standard to-go-to argument, are you similarly upset that software companies are charging different amounts of money for different tiers of a software product (e.g. Microsoft Office Home vs Professional), even though these different tiers are only enabled by a license key? If not, why?

I haven't done much beyond dip my toes in Golang so far, but I did start moving my blog over from Jekyll to Hugo last week; Man do I love just being able to install a single binary and then get to work. Python, Javascript, and Ruby have a lot of nice packages, but I always have to futz around with the language itself to use them effectively. It's probably a bit easier to get a project up and running in a scripting language, but any development time that is saved just gets passed on to the users as we have to install a ton of npm packages or try to fix our gem dependencies.
GTIN is a way to assign unique 12 to 14 digit number to each unique product that is either sold in retail or handled by retail related logistics. The number space is essentially unstructured and only thing that you can reliably glean out of random GTIN is who had assigned that particular number. And you probably see the problem that this system solves everyday without realizing it: the barcodes on almost anything that you can buy at your local supermarket encode GTIN.
Wait, we're better than this on HN. If you have concerns about an argument being made it's important to articulate the concerns. Pointing out someone's career/reputation is an appeal to authority, and a form of bias.
