Well that aged like milk.
I’ve experiences this, and it’s annoying. Worse is it’s never obvious if it’s a driver problem.

That said, part of why I know anything about computers was trying to get games to work on my old 486. I sort of miss the feeling of reward of really wanting to play a game and needing to dig into the technical weeds to finally get the right boot disk. Proton almost scratches that itch for me, sadly there aren’t enough games anymore to really motivate me.
It's unfortunate that the devs are financially lumped together with Nintendo's scummy legal/business people, but at the end of the day that's the reality. Pirating games means not paying the devs for their work.
>These are more like ballast systems, yes, as seen in large ships, than anything else I could describe.

can you elaborate on this?
Yeah. For now it's more of a latent danger than a law that is enforced according to its spirit or even letter - the letter of the law is fairly clear. I hope and assume that it will be enforced as soon as someone in the right position takes an interest in it.
Your argument was, literally, that piracy decreases sales. But all of the evidence points toward piracy increasing game sales. Therefore, the indie dev in your example would make more money.

I'm not saying that piracy is good or bad; I really don't care. I'm simply stating that your argument was wrong.
For emulators that intend to run games at full speed, the sorts of shortcuts and tricks needed to achieve high level emulation (which can sometimes fall short of emulation in a strict sense) are often incompatible with writing a plugin or extension to an emulation framework that focuses on accuracy.

In the case of the Switch, it's not necessary to emulate the whole device or even processor, especially if the intention is to run Switch games on a computer. Rather, high level emulation is more than sufficient — anticipate what the software depends on the actual hardware to do and redirect it to do the same using what the computer has available.
I just copy and paste stuff from stackoverflow and it works for me.
Or as a “Look, you can do X in language Y, a lot of people assumed this was not possible.” Situation. Seen that a few times.
So, Leviticus doesn't just say "no incest, please"; it has quite a long list of forbidden combinations. 18:7 and 18:14 refer to both male-male and male-female incest but are weirdly worded; Dershowitz's contention is that after the putative addition of 18:22 (the "no sex with men" one) they were reworded to de-emphasise the male part (as, if there's a general prohibition on male-male sex, they'd seem a bit superfluous.)
At this point isn't it better to just run it inside a container like lxc?

They don't have LiDAR. So this statement is clearly false.
It couldn't figure it out from looking through ripgrep's website: does ripgrep support intersection and complement of expressions? Like eg https://github.com/google/redgrep does.

Nvidia's key provisioning process for the curious
That was quite literally not my argument. I gave an example in which piracy decreases sales, to respond to an a priori defense of piracy.

Edit: There is a world of difference between debating a point on deontological ethical grounds and consequential ethical grounds. My point is not about what the consequences are, it's about the fact that a specific a priori ethical defense of piracy like that ddevault gives can't be used to argue that piracy doesn't have bad consequences.

Partly, but I think it’s also about hope and wanting to feel a part of contributing towards progress. Some people want to be a part of something greater then themselves (cults, startups, nonprofits, teams of all sorts, whatever), which is about identity, but also nuanced.

Not to say it’s always rational.
You're right. I somehow misinterpreted that part of the comment. Having said that, I doubt that Tesla's Bitcoin investment could be a foundation for its current valuation (as of today, > $660B). The $500K BTC price implies ~10x growth, so the value of that $1.5B investment would equal to ~$15B, which is still far less than the target number.
You're right, see my comment above.
Huh? Why do you say something that you anticipate to be false?

> Saying any brand is safer than human driving is a huge lie.

Can you substantiate this statement with discernible data? We recently did a road trip in Oregon. Even with an older version of autopilot (AP1) on our Model X which only has one front facing camera. The drive with having it engaged while closely supervising was safer.

There was really dense fog with long stretches of windy roads. I was having such a hard time that I had to slow down considerably. I was probably were pissing off local drivers behind me.

Meanwhile autopilot made quick work of the task without any disengagements. The latest version (AP3) is already considerably better and actually provides practical value.
>"not capable of recognizing or responding" to "static objects and road debris, emergency vehicles, construction zones, large uncontrolled intersections with multiple incoming ways, occlusions, adverse weather, complicated or adversarial vehicles in the driving path, and unmapped roads."

They really gotta come up with some standard terms for this stuff that the car companies all comply with. The food industry has a lot of standards for what is in things you buy before you name it a thing. That way we all know what we're getting into ...

They shouldn't be using "autopilot", "full self driving", until it really is.

You can make something, but what, then, makes it art?

Or, to put that another way: if there is only one animal alive in a forest, and that animal produces noise intentionally, but has no organ for sensing noise, have they made a “sound”?

Some words are only meaningful in the context of interpersonal communication. “Art” is, IMHO, one of them. Without an observer secondary to the artist, the question “is this art” has a NULL answer. Not an arbitrary one — a lack of one. Because encoded in the meaning of the word “art” is the assumption that you’re asking someone else that question.
I gave an example in which piracy decreases sales

Which isn't something that would have happened in the real world, since piracy increases sales.
That video's oddly edited; is there some context which makes him seem less... nuts?
I don't anticipate it would make much real difference. The trick with console emulators is usually making the graphics, audio, and game-specific quirks sing well on commodity hardware rather than the specialised hardware the console has. Getting ARM code to run on Intel isn't the hard bit — so getting ARM code to run on ARM may well be more performant than running it on Intel – but rather the trick is getting all the other precise console-specific hardware to sing with available cross-platform frameworks for audio and video.
Ah I see. You are right. I missed that you were going after that. I'm personally only really familiar with CPython, so that is indeed what I had in mind. To be honest, I don't really know what a ripgrep in Cython would look like. Is there a separate Cython standard library, for example? Or do you still use Python's main standard library?

We don't have to tumble down that rabbit hole though. If someone wrote a ripgrep in Cython and matched performance, then I would definitely learn something.

> "ripgrep needs 'low level tricks' to be fast and a language that allows them, such as Rust"

I might use that, sure. I think my point above was that I had to riff off of someone else's language. But I think we covered that. :-) In any case, yes, that phrasing sounds better.

Anyway, good chatting with you, good night!
Since it is painted in oil by Leonardo, yes, it is the brush strokes.

"Mona Lisa, the precious legacy of Leonardo da Vinci, represents a zenith of methodological innovations in painting. How the painter managed to obtain such delicacy of the tonal transitions still occupies the mind of contemporary art researchers. Based on published results of scientific analyses performed on the painting and relying on historical sources, a copy of the painting was made using materials that were identical or at least equivalent to the ones Leonardo used. This paper is an effort to provide an idea of the built-up of the paint layers at various stages as the painting evolved. The author discusses the detailed and painstaking method used by the painter at each step of the creation of the painting to obtain sfumato effect."

Gold has value if it is being used.

It has no value, sitting in a vault.

I see what you're saying and I agree. I think this particular argument, is pushing back on the notion that piracy is straightforwardly the same thing as physical theft.
I looked up those switches fully expecting to see either AVB or TSN standards compliance. That could make a difference to listening in that an AVB/TSN switch preallocates fixed slots so that latency sensitive applications never wind up losing a packet due to network collision.

However, to see that these switches don't even support AVB/TSN makes me simply roll my eyes at the benchmarketing that audiophiles will swallow.

The audiobook of _A Swim in a Pond in the Rain_ is really, really well done; they've got people like Glenn Close and Nick Offerman reading the stories, followed by Saunders analyzing in his own voice. I liked it a lot.

As for this review: ehhh. I take issue with the premise that the primary value of these "craft books" is to impart the capability to actually produce (novels in King's case, short stories in Saunders'). Certainly, there's far less toolbox advice in _Pond_ than in _On Writing_. I'm interested, like I assume most readers are, in having a better appreciation of the form Saunders is writing about, and in that regard, I thought the book was quite successful.

Saunders, meanwhile, is quite up-front about the fact that his marking up of Chekhov isn't going to turn his readers into Chekhovs; he's not sure this stuff can be "taught" either.

Regardless, that "the lone useful lesson" Saunders offers is that "there can be no method" to short-story-writing seems like an ungenerous and superficial takeaway from the book. You could level the same criticism at Rakim's _Sweat The Technique_, another "craft book"; ain't none of us gonna be Rakim after reading it. But I don't think Paoletta could have gotten away with porting this review to _Technique_. I think maybe the reasons why are interesting.

What people identify with is usually pretty complex as far as their actual identity goes. They may choose fairly weird things, but if you ask them the meaning and their own identity attached to it is usually much larger than say ... an energy drink. But that thing fits into it, so there they are with energy drink stickers all over their vehicle.

I have a sticker for a local university on my car (just one...), I didn't even go there but what it means to me is the experiences I have when I do. That's much more than a logo.
Ask HN: Are there complimentary front end software for headless CMS?
With directus, strapi, baserow, and other headless cms/api first/database gui products, are there complimentary front end gui style products for non-tech users that will interact with the aforementioned using them as a backend? I recognize that they have their own interfaces, but they are more like an admin interface which still is needed. I understand that you can build the front end using react or vue or another framework, but curious if there is a prebuilt solution.

I recognize that possible solutions might be a cms like drupal, joomla, wordpress etc, but I like the simplicity and blank slate fee of the headless cms and curious if there is an equivalent for custom front end

I think for most indie developers piracy is free word of mouth advertising, similar to the shareware model. Hopefully when their work is widely pirated developers can turn the attention into sales. I agree it would be very tragic if people lost their jobs due to rampant piracy.

To ask a difficult question though, are there actually any contemporary indie PC games that have been massively pirated to the point where the developer had to fire an intern?
> if it's running on an ARM processor does it just run the instructions directly?

You can't just run random instructions like that. That code is compiled with the assumption that there's the Switch's OS and hardware underneath, which means it will do all kinds of things, like calling directly into the kernel and assuming a particular address space layout, that would crash it under a different OS.

ARM has hardware virtualization. If the host OS supports it, you should be able to make use of it.
Tesla is saying that "Full Self-Driving Beta" isn't done and can't be trusted yet. When it is, they'll remove the Beta label and send in a new form.

That's a very interesting question. BAP is a subclinical condition. I'm not sure whether you can, strictly speaking, have a subclinical condition in conjunction with a clinical condition–how do you know that the features of the subclinical condition aren't actually symptoms of the clinical condition? (And the word "comorbid" maybe doesn't quite fit–does a subclinical condition really fit under the definition of "morbid"?)

ADHD and ASD have a lot of overlap. A significant minority of individuals with ADHD (20-30%) have a substantial degree of autistic traits. Many of that 20-30% would have enough for a comorbid ASD diagnosis, but not all of them. If you zero in on the individuals with ADHD who have substantial autistic traits but not quite enough to justify the comorbid diagnosis of ASD – do you say those individuals have ADHD with BAP? Or do you say that they just have ADHD, and that the varied symptoms of ADHD can sometimes include autistic traits?

If you oppose intellectual property rights, it's important to work productively towards creating a world without it in which developers can work on a piece of software as their job and still have a livelihood, not joke about them not standing to lose anything through piracy.

Thank you for speaking up. I try to make similar points at times, though I'm usually talking about writing and content creation and I'm a woman and a writer and poor, so people feel pretty free to be openly dismissive and disrespectful and act like my expectation that I should somehow be able to support myself if I am doing good work is a laughably stupid expectation and, at the same time, I'm an extremist nutter if I start using phrases like "that amounts to an expectation of slave labor."

I don't know what the solution is. A lot of amazing things get done because someone dreamed it up off the clock without the constraints of an employer or client telling them what to do.

But it is a travesty of justice to act like those things should be given for free and the creator has no right to have that come back to them as financial prosperity. It's not only a travesty of justice, it's an excellent way to make sure all your best and brightest people are trying to figure out how to make a buck, even if it means screwing other people and even it means doing work that is less valuable to humanity than what they might otherwise do.

If you want this to remain a dog eat dog, lord of the flies hellscape, hey, dismissing the idea that people have a right to profit from their labor when their labor is clearly enhancing your life (or you wouldn't be using their stuff for free while sneering at the idea that this is a problem for them) is an excellent way to accomplish that.
> and best for settling trade between foreign regimes. There's a reason central banks all hold gold as a primary reserve asset.

> both competing use cases of currency and store of value

An action can be both rational for an individual to take, and still be a net negative to the world.

I am argueing that the gold in a vault use case, which sometimes people call "store of value" is a net negative upon the world, while still possibly being individually rational.

That is my point. I agree that gold serves the use case of a store of value, and could be rational for an individual to take.

And I am saying that this is still a net negative, that causes more harm than good, because you have a bunch of resources doing nothing.
