>or is this a consequence of Nintendo's/Japanese company culture?

Now this makes me wonder, because Sony went after George Hotz with guns blazing for his 'OtherOS' efforts on PS3 until he settled the lawsuit on the condition to 'never hack Sony products'!

At the same time, Sony has been very welcoming about aftermarket OS efforts on their Android smartphones, they had their official AOSP portal, Jolla support etc.

I guess, the bottomline is would it affect the business?
People act the same with movies & hollywood. The story of the abusive director with a short fuse is so common it's a TV trope. #metoo first got traction in the movie industry after all.
Getting a very expensive gift that you don’t want is often an unpleasant experience.

Oh wow that is not clear at all. The old website of StimulusJS doesn’t redirect to its new home, and the old GitHub repo for turbolinks (not turbolinks-classic) still exists.
Making more has allowed me to help people who make less, especially during these times. I wouldn't be able to help if I didn't, or in a lesser capacity for fewer people.

It is good to be able to do something about something.

Consider being good at something, say electronics or software or "computers" or handicraft. When a situation arises and you can wield that skill to solve a problem, everybody is better off. That is, if you don't consider that knowledge, skill, or "richess" are a pie where one has more, the other has less.
Not too surprising you guessed it was Ballard.

Depending on where you live and where you're going, crossing the locks is a great way to bike downtown. Also sometimes the Fremont bridge route is going to be shorter. I hate riding my bike over the Ballard bridge, but I'm not sure I'd call riding on it "risking death".

Bike access within Ballard is pretty great since the hills are a bit more manageable than in other parts of the city.

All that aside, it's pretty easy to live in Seattle and not have a car, being able to walk to groceries, bars, restaurants, parks, etc.
no i was also thinking its not ideal, it was actually suggested to me (this domain) by a female friend. She didnt realise what it could mean and i assumed "maybe its just me"
The Dangers of Data URIs
> By contrast, Leica's digital M bodies have always been at least a generation behind... at their time of release

The M9 was revolutionary in 2009, an 18MP full-frame sensor in a peer-comparatively tiny body. The M Monochrom in 2012 is the only major first-party camera to release w/o a Bayer filter with massive increases in resolution and sensitivity. They've been riding the "classic rangefinder experience" for some time since with incremental improvements, but the early digital M bodies were anything but behind. The recent M10-R and M10-M are also competitive sensor-wise.

Related to this; Check out the book The Revolutionary Phenotype.

"The Revolutionary Phenotype is a science book that brings us four billion years into the past, when the first living molecules showed up on Planet Earth. Unlike what was previously thought, we learn that DNA-based life did not emerge from random events in a primordial soup. Indeed, the first molecules of DNA were fabricated by a previous life form. By describing the fascinating events referred to as Phenotypic Revolutions, this book provides a dire warning to humanity: if humans continue to play with their own genes, we will be the next life form to fall to our own creation.
"I am VERY impressed with this book—very important topic very well treated." - Robert Trivers"

This is a bait and switch. Talk to a lawyer. Wow, just absolutely scummy.
4nm tall Christmas tree is the world’s smallest one
Well seeing that even r/conservative still thinks Trump won and the democrats stole the election, I'm sure you can figure out the answer.
I responded to another comment here about why she needs breaths. Basically she has a complication from a spinal defect that causes breath holding, which some kids hold their breath but a normal kid will just pass out and start breathing again. For her, she needs breaths (usually with an oxygenated bag and mask that we keep at home) to get her to wake back up.

The first time we tried to give her breaths at home we had to call an ambulance and she went back to the NICU for another 6 months. She spent the first 9 months of her life there. She’s actually a pretty normal two year old now aside from not being able to walk, and the breath holding.

Honestly it’s pretty normal at this point for me and my wife so I’m fairly nonchalant about it. Her rate of breath holding has gone way down since we found medication that makes a huge difference. As she gets older it should happen less as her conscious brain becomes better at overriding her emotions. I do what I need to do and if I didn’t compartmentalize I wouldn’t be able to function day to day.

Didn’t really expect to get tone policed on Hacker News though.
I enjoyed the wit of this but I think there's an important point. Employees provide a given amount of value to an employer and if they aren't recognising when that value increases, I'm sure someone else will. Words are nice, but money speaks more.
This is pretty narrow thinking; it assumes communism was some failed 1950's Soviet experiment and has no modern implementation.

I doubt China limits it's surveillance to wiretaps and human agents.
No, I'm talking about js as a whole. Standard library is crap, inconsistent, even the most basic of naming conventions are not followed anywhere. The fact that the standard library jumps between camel case, pascal case, snake case and unicase at random is a perfect example. The list of absurdities is beyond ridiculous[1].

Even the article states that's just speculation.

> There were no further details, but some fans seem to think they might know what's going on...
This is a delicate and nuanced matter that's hard to know the right answer without all the details. I've gone through this 4 times, and also recently talked to 20 people who went through it, specifically about this topic. Feel free to email me and we can have a call and talk you through the options (paul.biggar@gmail.com)

First thought: You don't have 40%, you have at most (11 months / 48 months vesting) * 40% = 9%. But, at 11 months you haven't hit your cliff, so you actually have 0%. That is, if they can fire you. It sounds like they're the CEO so they probably can, but if not the board can.

They won't. Allowing APKs is useful from a legal point of view because it allows competitors to theoretically distribute their own apps (unlike Apple). It's why Google has a stronger defense in the Epic Games' case than Apple imo.
It would be so cool if i could go to a booth at the mall, AR try on some hair styles, and then hit go and have a robot do it for me.
"Duck tape" originally referred to tape made from duck cloth. They started using it for duct work, and began to call it "duct tape", to the point where "duck" fell out of common use and was able to be trademarked. They've also stopped using it for ducts.

So call it either one and people will know what you're talking about.

No it really isn't clear what the responder intended, and the contextless data point about vehicle emissions says nothing about the implications of a suburban style city on the health of the planet.
They previously "allowed" it at Evo 2013 after massive backlash from trying to shut down the Melee stream, years before anything related to sexual misconduct was talked about. There is nothing recent enough about how they treat the Melee scene to blame emulators or sexual misconduct, it's been documented to be happening since the scene was revived post-brawl.

The evo shutdown was presumably attempted to avoid any comparisons between their newest game (Brawl) and Melee; similarly, the recent shutdown probably has more to do with how bad Ultimate's online is compared to emulated Melee, rather than the mere fact that they're on an emulator in the first place. Other emulated online Melee tournaments without Ultimate have gotten away with it so far.
But you can avoid this quite easily without resorting to microservices.
This framing is also sort of a misrepresentation. It's an annual government-funding bill, and it includes some money for COVID relief. All of the broader criticisms about horse trading still apply of course but those apply just as much to separate bills with informal agreements on votes. The only difference is it's really inconvenient to hold hundreds of votes in order to make sure the forestry service janitors get paid, etc. etc.
Data is the new code, and it should be treated like it
This leak also has current console info, like the switch development kit. Also such info might be valuable in creating more accurate emulators and such.

It's useful for history and to create a more accurate reputation for the company in question.

As a counterpoint, I absolutely love the turn signals in my Model 3. I always thought BMW had the best turn signals (which are functionally identical to Tesla's), and was thrilled to see that Tesla took the same approach.
This is the hat-trick of the "job creator" myth. Narratives have no numbers attached; the quantitative delta between luxuries, and the jobs they allegedly create, belies real economic energy transferred from those living paycheck-to-paycheck, to those who signify status through conspicuous consumption.

Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying every purchase needs to pass some utilitarian moral litmus test; and sometimes luxury spending can have positive externalities, particularly when it incentivizes innovation. But we shouldn't pretend that gold-plated helicopters are inherently a win/win/win just because some subsistence wages got paid along the way, when we could have collected the same revenue as taxes and paid those wages for building infrastructure instead.
+1. I actually used this when interviewing remotely and it worked great.
They are trying to kick you out a month before you vest! These guys are not acting in good faith. Do not trust them. Wait a month and vest. Then quit.

You were the technical lead. More than anyone, you built it. Don't let these suits steal it from you or bluff you. So often business types take advantage of financially unsophisticated technical people.
What competence would make ticket walls go away? I’ve only ever had dayjobs with large orgs and ticket walls have been a useful defense against folks who insist on sending low-quality help emails or DMs the moment they encounter a problem. Sometimes I consider taking a massive paycut to work in a smaller company specifically to lessen the probability of needing to work with those sorts of people. If there’s some alternative model for dealing with these people I’m excited to hear about it.
What is not said in this article is that you can use modern data warehouses, like Snowflake and BigQuery, in the exact same way: a single system that serves as both your data lake and your data warehouse. Databricks and the cloud data warehouses are rapidly converging. Databricks has enough SQL functionality that it can be reasonably be called an RDBMS, and Snowflake has demonstrated that you can incorporate the benefits of a data lake into a data warehouse by separating compute from storage. At this point, the main difference is that with Databricks you can directly access the underlying Parquet files in S3. Does that matter? For some users, yes.
Reality appears to contain giant statues of a European Jewish Socialist heralded throughout Beijing. If the East was so proud of some original political system held as "superior to democracy" -- why does the ruling regime employ the same tactics to hold power over the affairs of men as documented by a 16th century Italian?

Politics might be flavored and seasoned by locale, race and culture, but the meat is all the same and always has been. To conclude otherwise, or make China a "special case" is probably racism. It also denudes the notion of universal human rights.
> 2). Copyright exists and generally must be enforced lest the holder wishes to lose their rights.

You're thinking of trademarks. Copyright isn't affected by enforcement in the same way.
The area with potential for innovation is drone surveillance for large rural plots. A farmer with 1000 acres and a herd of cattle may have to spend a day or two searching for a lost head. A drone could methodically surveil the plot, seeing through tree cover and working through the night with IR.

I can imagine "cow tippers" of the future being tailed by a drone.

The legality of this seems already settled to me. If it is legal to have fixed surveillance cameras anywhere on your private property, why wouldn't it be similarly legal for that camera to take flight, assuming it adheres to any applicable FAA regulations?
What's the alternative to ticket walls? What would competent management look like in this case?
Well the parallelism issues doesn't exist in the jruby world, but yes, gems with C extensions normally don't work out of the box with jruby, but in another hand you can call java straight from ruby. That's so powerful and often better than the gems - if you know how to right ruby and wrap the java classes with ruby!
So as many times said along this thread, ruby isn't rails. I have a project running in a government agency with jruby. It was a port of an old Java SWT application and we rewrote it in jrubyFX. The project was such a pleasure!

I'd say first things first. You have 11 months and a one year cliff. Find a way to stall for a month and your position gets much stronger. This is a great environment to find a way to stall. Tell your co-founder to write up a proposal so that you can have a lawyer look at it. That's easy to turn into a month of stalling.
Yeah thats another option. I haven't found one, but I do have userspace code that works.
> Secondly, I believe it confuses cause and effect.

People say a lot of things. People mostly agree with universal background checks for guns. It isn't the Evil Rich People preventing this from happening, and the NRA isn't particularly rich itself even though it's a popular bogeyman.

People talk a lot about climate change until it's time to shape policy on it. Someone answering a poll question doesn't matter, what people vote for matters.

Your argument comes from a fantasy where most people actually agree with you, but the lobbyists just prevent things from changing. In reality, many people are very poorly informed. People don't understand just how powerful political mobilization and voting is. I agree that they think voting won't do anything, but they'd be wrong about that.
The question is: was it easier to be a good man in a position of power?

Disclosure: It's only my opinion, that I developed through trial and error during building ecommerce applications in a small team. Problems that I solved may be different than problems you will encounter.

I aim for the system that will fix itself. So for example, when new product comes to product service, product service stores the product in a strict consistent manner without relying on other services. Other services, which want to know about that new product, polls the product service in regular interval and gets new products. Also you need to make endpoints idempotent.

The good thing is, that when something bad happens, the system data will eventually converge. Sometimes there will be bugs, so you will fix the bug and then wait, until system fix its data.
The bad thing is, that the system is only eventually consistent. You will need to track the delay and keep it short.

As adrianmsmith mentioned, its usually better to create monolith when possible.

I hope the book goes in detail _how_ we are to take back control of our data. One person deleting their Facebook and having good privacy hygiene on the web won't make a dent. Telling others to do the same is futile as well. It's long past due for society to fear Big Corp instead of Big Government, as now we'll need the latter to tame the former.

Nintendo seems to do customer support fine with hardware, but their treatment of digital products and data is extremely hostile.

The Switch has a backup feature, but the backups are hardware ID locked, so if you lose your Switch and get a replacement, lol, the backups are useless. This is made worse because even though you may have a physical cartridge game, the actual save files are on the machine.

Personally I had a run in with this when I upgraded to a 3DS XL, and I didn't check for dead pixels until after I transferred all my data. They locked the transfer feature for a week+ so I couldn't go and get my device replaced for a week, and my data was held hostage on a machine with stuck/dead pixels dead center on what is already a low resolution display.

But I could more easily just use my GBP to directly buy Euros, with one less exchange rate and one less transaction in the process.

For a bank, that's slow. But even if it wasn't, using an intermediate currency simply takes twice as long for each step.

Just checked, and you are right. I'm probably thinking of the pre c99 days where a boolean was often implemented as an enum.

(Perhaps unsurprisingly) the literals "true" and "false" appear to be of integer size in the compilers I tried on c99, implying they are implemented as "1" and "0" and not "'\001'" and "'\000'"
Can’t tell if you are being ironic or not. But it’s worth throwing in there that the democratically elected leader Donald Trumps pledge to “clean the swamp” has left the government controlled by family and loyalists. And while consensus is that USA isn’t a highly democratic country, it is typically lumped in with others higher on the democratic index, so it the whole anti-corruption=Purging might just be a general rule not something limited to non-democratic countries. Unless you count USA as being completely non-democratic, which seems a hyperbole, at least unless the current administration refuses to step down and carries on through a coup.
