Don't forget, this is not just billionaires and their toys, it's about Democratizing Space Tourism[0]. You have to admire the billionaires who act as guinea pigs in these endeavors. Soon people with a lot less money than Branson/Bezos will be able to fly to space and see the curvature of the globe, all thanks to the initial experiments by explorers like Branson/Bezos.

No sure if this is the right place to ask, but are there any retro emulator setups which allow you to play 2 player games over the internet?

Ive heard something maybe possible with retroarch but Im surprised there is no pi zero with an easy multiplayer setup yet ( for instance to play 2 player Mario Tennis on the Gameboy )
Missing "brainpunk", which according to SCARLET NEXUS producers is a thing.

True, and we're watching over vendors in this space (we use LiFePO4 batteries in our camper) the integration with the Powerwalls however is pretty good. Batteries being only one component of the whole off grid experience.

That's much better than I would've thought.
I wonder if that means there really was a Northwest Passage back in the day. Seems like we could probably use ice cores to pinpoint when it last existed, and that could probably even tell us how long the rumor existed before people started looking for it.
I am much more aware of appearing attractive, fitter, and younger to other tech peers as I age. I’m curious if anyone else feels this pressure?
This is exactly the issue. I don't trust any of these organizations alone with my information diet. I can't afford to subscribe to them all, but I don't want to favor one over the other. I've opted out and used page archives, which are better because I don't have to worry as much about unlisted shadow edits to content post-publication.
The Super GameBoy comes to mind. Was it a full-fledged emulator or did it use any neat tricks to run GB code directly on the SNES?
I'm a big fan of piracy. The more taking part the better the torrent strength.

My comment was in terms of rights holders. I could see why they would want that. Netflix is caught in the middle.
The majority of Israelis are not very religious, and Israel was never intended to be some kind of theocracy. Most of the early Zionists viewed the Jewish people as an ethnic group rather than a religious community. As it turns out, despite their growing influence in Israeli politics, a lot of Ultra-Orthodox Jews do not see Israel as a valid Jewish state because it was not established by the messiah (including some groups that live in Israel and enjoy various public benefits).

No, it's like complaining that a chain of restaurant randomly takes dishes off the menu, and it's different in every country. Eventually you get fed up with unpredictable menu and stop going there.
Probably alternating cold/hot temperatures. Probably best to sit in a dry sauna and jump into a cold (very) shower. Nothing beats it. You should come out feeling refreshed, if not sligthly euphoric.

I think you’d find the opposite - that NES games use lots of weird unstructured or dynamic code tricks that make automated AOT static recompilation very difficult or impossible, in most cases. These things tend to be more common on older CPUs and in hand-written assembly code, not less.
And because the GPL makes it difficult to fork and make the branch a proprietary product.
This is because largely speaking, the Wii is the same hardware than the GameCube (but with improved speed). That's why the Dophin emulator, originally a GC emu, was able to extend easily to also cover the Wii.
I don't know, but for anarchists and for POUM [1], Franco could be part of "the baddies" (things are never so simple like good and bad), but "Republican" (with support for the URSS) members were the ones that killed them.

One person’s collusion is another person’s Motion Picture Association.

the MPA has advocated for the motion picture and television industry, with the goals of promoting effective copyright protection, reducing piracy, and expanding market access. It has long worked to curb copyright infringement, including recent attempts to limit the sharing of copyrighted works via peer-to-peer file sharing networks and by streaming from pirate sites.

They're basically completely different other than broad architectural strokes. Different CPU ISA, the keys are sampled through a matrix rather than a bit banged shift register setup, audio channels are pretty different, GPU is internally pretty different (LCD allows pauses in the pixel stream unlike a CRT so the GPU uses that), etc.
> It seems kind of presumptuous to think that God's conception of morality would bear any similarity with ours. Presumably God created what It considers to be the perfect world and therefore everything that happens in it is good according to God's own definition of goodness, including torturing babies (if and when it happens -- and when it doesn't happen, then it is good that it doesn't).

Or, to be a little pantheist about it, the world is literally God pondering a possible world (but, being God, pondering something makes it real in a sense); and that God literally experiences all the suffering present in it.
The Super GameBoy is essentially full GameBoy hardware in a cart, that hijacks the SNES PPU for video output and uses SNES controllers for input. There is no hardware emulation going on.
Unfortunately about 60% of CO2 emissions from cement production is simply the CO2 released from the conversion of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) to lime (CaO). You need carbon capture no matter what, so capturing emissions from the heat production as well is likely far more economical than modifying a plant to use a totally different process heat source.

Further, nuclear is simply not a good option for this application. Cement kilns need to reach 1,450 C, while reactor temperatures are limited to about 950 C.
There's a lot we don't know and likely never will. Just look into the thing that happened in the Venezuelan trip... if there's even info out there on it.
> ...The problem with the “shorter higher quality life” position is that diet, exercise and health affect EVERYTHING.

I would also include sleep in this list.

With advancing age the amount and quality of sleep seems to diminish. Maybe it's individual-specific and dependent on the life-style, in any case undersleeping effects eventualy catch on and affect the body and mind state.
It wasn't even an emulator, it was a complete gameboy SoC with the pixel stream routed to the SNES's VRAM rather than an LCD screen.
Especially those departments should do so and learn to do it. Financial departments are always the ones complaining about the cost of mistakes, compliance risks (of the monetary kind) and doing due diligence. Preventing the production of wrong figures in financial excel sheets ticks all those boxes. They should bloody well be doing it, but I'm also not holding my breath ;)
“Start to try?” Many, many companies do this.
Hope this doesn't mean that we hold back some treatment for those who would have bucked the trend and recovered better than expected... Very interesting if this can be used to tailor recovery and treatments in an adaptive way. :)
There're very few extraordinary students who can start contributing from the start. But those students are already stars of their own, not the kind you can hire. For the vast majority, there's a very long journey from graduation to professional developer. This applies also to PhDs, and yes, also from the best universities in the world (I have those in my team often). A company that only hires junior graduates as devs is a company that doesn't take software seriously. Such companies often collapse under their own weight

Democracy does not need religion, nor does prosperity. Democracy definitely needs education and the participation of citizens in government.

Some regimes use religion as part of propaganda that maintains the power structure. Monarchies, for example.

Religion isn't necessarily unwelcome in democracy as long as it doesn't conflict with governance, health and education policy.
Calling read() won't tell you anything if someone cut the wire or unplugged an Ethernet cable that wasn't directly connected to your machine.

write() won't fail until after a bunch of TCP re-transmit timeouts have passed.

TCP keepalives can help but you have to enable them and, as I said before, doing so is different on different platforms.

Honestly, if you're doing anything remotely interactive or latency sensitive on the same thread as network I/O you need to go async.
Notwithstanding some historians' claims that interventionists in the Roosevelt administration slyly baited Japan into attacking first, there is zero historical evidence that Japan would otherwise have avoided attacking us.

The escalating embargo and blockade of Japan meant their industrial output was facing collapse within months. The attack was a desperate attempt to protect their invasion of the resource-rich East Indies. They literally had no choice, and this is exactly the argument that won Tojo permission to go forward with the attack.

Plus, the spirit of the Japanese nation was very much in favor of total conquest. Hakko Ichiu was sort of the Japanese version of America's Manifest Destiny, except they explicitly applied it to everything from Russia to Australia and Burma to Alaska.

Except neither Sanders nor Warren have proposed a plan that would cost you only $10k in taxes to save you $25k in premiums. Even on paper, Warren’s plan costs the same as what Americans already pay in health care costs.

https://www.npr.org/2019/11/01/775339519/heres-how-warren-fi...

> Warren bases her plan off of a recent analysis from the Urban Institute, which estimated that under current law, Americans would spend $52 trillion over the next decade on health care — that includes many types of spending, from employers, individuals and all levels of government.

> Warren's plan estimates that total health costs could be held to $52 trillion and that $20.5 trillion in new federal spending would be necessary.

Like with schools (where America also pays more and gets less), most spending in the healthcare system is payroll. An American nurse makes twice what a UK NHS nurse makes. The idea that we can cut those costs meaningfully is laughable.

As someone who gets a ridiculous amount of use out of their pods, I really hope this business pans out. I think the product is great, but batteries are consumable products. In fact, I would hope that one day it would be mandatory to offer battery replacements for all products you sell. (Do correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think Apple currently does this for pods?)
The true competitive threat to the Unix vendors wasn't each other, it was Microsoft.

And "for a long time" was actually a fairly short time. Linux began to approach feature-comparability fast, and ran on PCs, not $10,000 workstations (that were getting beat power-wise by PCs).
I subscribe to the NYT, New Yorker, London Review of Books, New York Review of Books, and the Atlantic.

I don’t know how people think they’ll survive with a tenth of the revenue. Maybe you think three times the number of people will subscribe so then a third of the revenue?

So then what? Publications look for alternative means of supplementing income. Which means ads and skewing content towards clickbaiting.

Maybe it’s fine not trying to be for everyone when not everyone values them.
Literally happening in tech as well
Just to put the achievement into perspective, this is code written for a console with a 1.79 MHz 6502 running on a 3.58 MHz 65816 (a 6502 with 16-bit capabilities crudely bolted on) -- that it even runs anywhere close to native speed and with so relatively few bugs is a monumental achievement considering that even though the SNES will run 6502 code, the audio and graphics hardware, etc., are entirely different between the consoles and have to be emulated.

That's a really shitty outcome tho. Look at how toxicly inaccessible academic papers are. Universities pay exorbitant prices for their students and faculty, and no normal person could every afford it.

What we need is a system of pay-per-view+quality news that uses a rating system to determine how much people pay for the article. Imagine a pay scale where users pay x/log(2+x/1000) cents to the service per month (where x is number of articles read, or some similar metric), and the authors/publishers of those articles split that money based on how highly the user rated each article. This would mean that someone reading 10 articles a month would pay 30 cents/mo, someone reading 10 articles a day would pay $9/mo, and someone reading 100 articles a day would pay $40/mo. At the same time, it would mean that users have an incentive to rate articles fairly, since they're charged regardless of their ratings, but better quality articles would get rated higher and get paid out more per view, incentivizing publishers to put out higher quality content and disincentivizing click bait.

Ad supported content leads to click bait and emotional manipulation. We are living in the news dystopia and only finding a way to get rid of ad supported content will save us.

This happened in the 20s too btw. Those "extra extra read all about it" boys selling newspapers by the headline caused a decrease in news quality too. Subscription news came along and saved us then. Unfortunately, there are too many different news sources to be supported by subscription services without massively fragmenting what people can read (just like video streaming services have massively fragmented what people can watch).
I'm not so sure that golden age ever really existed. It was the height of the mass media, and because of this objectivity and the consensus were interchangeable, and no one was held much to account for their inability to comport with reality.

The internet gave the layman all the tools they needed to do their own followup on what they were told, and to access new perspectives about it. That's when cracks started appearing.
Related to that, any company knows what they're doing easily knows that a competent senior developer (key word being competent) is easily worth multiple X of a junior developer with 0 experience, especially when it comes to setting up your initial project and architecture.

Imagine if you were building a house and said "We can't afford to hire an architect so we'll just hire a bunch of kids right out of college because they're cheaper".
What's that "CEO" doing now? If they didn't get funded, they're probably no longer a CEO.
> Of course you can get timeouts (using select() or any other standard event notification mechanism)

That's just it, there's no such thing as a 'standard event notification system'. select() is terrible for performance, and all the best options are different on every single platform.

> Instead, you're encouraged to do callback handlers, leading to temporal coupling and ravioli code.

Callbacks are the simplest primitive for async code. If you're not comfortable with them then you're not going to go far with async I/O. Not to mention, ASIO also supports futures and coroutines.

I had not considered a link between being against binary thinking and political-style management. Thank you for writing it, because I found it very thought provoking.

Another way to look at it is that the author isn't attacking concreteness. Instead, the author is taking generalizations and adding context for why that generalization exists. This helps identify when the generalization applies and when it does not.
"The experience of being a programmer in a start-up" is almost quintessential HN material.
This is definitely done already. GitLab (where I work as an engineer) has done it for a number of years. They used to publish the numbers and ranges for every role/location but they made it internal only a year or so back for reasons that I can't remember. You can still see the old calculator thanks to the internet archive - https://web.archive.org/web/20200606161551/https://about.git...

I don't want to debate whether this is the best approach in terms of treating employees fairly, but it certainly seems to have it's advantages for the company - they get to save money by hiring people in places with a lower compensation rate.
The advantage is you get tables, numbers and plots based on solids maths instead of implementing your own understanding of useful analyses. Depending on your skill and interests in implementing your own designs for stats this might be a plus or a minus. For me, I don’t want to spend my time redoing the tricky and subtle stuff, but I can learn the odd syntax and weirdly functional nature of it pretty reliably. If someone does a Golang version of CRAN I wouldn’t think of using R again but for now R wins the stats battle. And much of the community advice and so on about how to do things, outside of the base R vs tidyverse flame rift, are from informed statisticians not autodidact Python folks that think everything is easy. But if you do understand he maths solidly behind what you want, then R might not be the best tool for your use.

Not necessarily -- at least, not unless you count people reusing discarded rubber bands. Typically the strategy used in cases like this is to make the material break down faster in the presence of water; assuming postal workers aren't trying to get the mail wet, the rubber bands should also stay dry enough to be reusable.

What Should Dev Teams Measure First? With Luca Rossi
I did not comment at all about the "rightness or wrongness" of what either side did: My comment was more about the American media and how it covered the conflict. My honest feelings about the region are that it's a bunch of people who have been brutal to each other for centuries (and continue to be), but if you watched Christian Amanpour on CNN during that time, you would get the impression that it was an entirely one-sided conflict where only the Serbs did wrong and we were completely justified in stepping in and waging war. In my opinion, I think in 100 years looking back this will be remembered by some very observant historians as the prelude to Afghanistan/Iraq and the "beginning of the end" of America's dominance. People were complete tools, there was not even the hint of a counter-narrative to the "Serbs are bad" stories being pushed by the govt through mainstream media. The real story, of course, was a lot more complicated. The Serbs weren't "right" for trying to get revenge on people who collaborated with Hitler to exterminate them but that background information was never even presented while the war was being sold to US public.
It's not really whataboutism IMO because these are 2 sides of the same coin. One balances the other. Whataboutism applies to unrelated topics.
I'm just now coming out of my not-junior-but-not-senior period of overengineering and wish there were more older devs in my shop to consort with instead of a bunch of other not-junior-but-not-quite-senior devs (if we're being serious and not using senior to mean "I've just been doing this a long time" instead of "I've been doing thing a long time and I've learned from my experiences and here's what specifically").
