This sounds like a tv issue rather than a switch issue. Monitor != tv. Having played hollow knight on both PC and switch, I can say that I haven't felt any noticeable difference. In general one should expect between 30-100 ms input lag, depending on the tv model. Even with gaming mode enabled, some tv models are simply terrible for gaming.

Playing in handheld mode, there should be no input lag at all.
I'm starting to feel less guilty about this kind of thing as whatever short term success you might find always turn into failure (if you have that mindset). Even the most successful software is replaced for technical, business or political reasons. Just try and enjoy the journey and keep learning. Maybe a metaphor for life.

No need to feel bad, even if you don't make the same mistake twice, you'll make a different mistake next time!

Wasn't more an issue that games didn't specifically optimize for cell processors? They had to run on dozens of platforms and the Cell processor was the odd one out.

There were at least three largish cluster setups, the biggest being a super computer with almost 2000 PS3s. Of course you are right, that is barely a blip on their sales.

Valve are a lot more serious about Linux support though, going as far as employing graphics driver developers.

GOG (and CDPR) on the other hand can't even be bothered to port their own client and games.

Also, GOG is not 100% DRM-free anymore, even if they want to advertise themselves that way. [0]

The fear of the fall can cause the search for the solution to prevent the fall.

The fundamental logic of peak oil is sound, even though a bell curve is not appropriate when considering the global economic consequences: at some point any finite resource must run out, exponential growth always means the last half of a finite quantity is consumed in one doubling period. It’s not a law of nature that alternative tech will appear just at the right time, and in one sense we got lucky with alternative oils and renewables. To the extent that one can talk of “making our own luck”, I expect at least some of the people who developed all those solutions did so out of a fear of peak oil.

Absolutely, most problems are caused by either of:

- stupidity

-fear

-greed

The problem is figuring out which instances of these are induced by society and civilization and which are inherent to human behavior in general. While we can try to address the former, the latter probably can't be fixed without significantly changing our definition/perception of what humans are.
Sometimes, yes.

40 years ago, the following was a fact: "There is a country in Europe named Yugoslavia".

It is clearly not true anymore.

Do you think all B2B providers responds to issues and resolve them within an hour or two? Most of them take their sweet time. Don't try to be a people pleaser or a yes man. You will just get taken advantage of.

Set boundaries / expectations ahead of time. Tell them you will acknowledge an issue within 24 hours and provide a solution within 7 days _if_ it's important.

Whatever works for you.

You should reserve the right to outright reject feature requests without providing a convincing reason beyond "it's not within our scope".

Maybe when putting things into peoples brains, competence is a highly necessary requirement. It's not enough to have "liked coding since high school" and "read a bunch of blogs" and "taught myself javascript" which may suffice for the average web shop, but when opening skulls, a broad and deep education definitely helps. Those crying about gatekeeping tend to be firmly on one side of the gate without putting in the necessary sweat.
Not what I'm implying. Google has kept the friction & effort minimal (by it's very nature, their search engine advertising is a lot less creepy & personally invasive than FBs). The utility of google search is also high enough that I'm quite sure a decent chunk of people would pay a small monthly sub for it if needed (or offered as an alternative option).

Your whole post is an inaccurate depiction of awareness of race relations pre-internet. Pretending like nobody was aware is just a convenient narrative for people who have made race relations a bigger part of their politics in the recent years.

Because the alternative is admitting that they knew damn well but didn't care about it as much. Which would be the truth, but is too uncomfortable to admit.
From an interview I listened to of Pulmonologist at a small well respected private hospital in Johannesburg:

He would use anything that worked to save lives but Ivermectin just doesn't work. On one day he personally admitted 22 people to the hospital with Covid and 14 of those had been taking Ivermectin. 10 of them ended up in ICU and some of them had passed away a few days later when the interview was held.

Part of the problem seems to be that it masks a lot of the early symptoms of covid so the patients don't get prescribed things like corticosteroids that do help until much later than normal.
Mental Lexicon
Competitiveness is never going away its as human as breathing.

The way to defeat cheating is giving users exaustive options to watch and monitor other players and report them effectively. Half the damn games dont even have this sorted out.

You have a report system that weights users honesty based on usefulness of previous reports - so people.who just report good players get downweighted and their reports count for less, then its just a statistics exercise. Combine this with easily identifiable data for things like headshot % to help highlight players for closer review.

For example, in Python, are activation records objects you can manipulate? Seaside uses this in Smalltalk to implement continuations. If not, then not everything is an object in Python.
Is there a strict implementation of that in JS? I've looked and there seems to be a bunch of libraries doing JSONPath, but none that are strict implementation of PGs variant. I'd like to be able to use it for previews etc.

In the survey you linked, it looks like 45.7% of the surveyed philosophers of mathematics endorse Platonism. That's a lot, but not "most", by any measure.
The Banach-Tarski paradox is fine with me: Not all subsets of the real line or R^n for the set of real numbers R and positive integer n are measurable. Yes, the usual example of a non-measurable set uses the axiom of choice. The sets in the Banach-Tarski paradox are not measurable -- okay.

Of course the natural numbers can be put into 1-1 correspondence with the rationals -- how to show that is the classic Cantor diagonal argument.

At a tea before a seminar, I asked Max Zorn what Paul Cohen had just proved. Zorn didn't explain it and instead just loaned me his copy of Cohen's paper -- I lost it in a move! If Zorn wasn't strongly interested in Cohen's proof, then neither should I be.

For any set of axioms, there will be statements we can neither prove nor disprove. Surprising, interesting, got it.

Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory with the axiom of choice seem fine to me -- now back to the real work!

Required Skill Set of an Expert Magento Developer
Magento makes your eCommerce experience smooth, streamlined, and efficient. As a result, you can build better stores and create more effective channels for generating revenue. However, running a Magento store without the help of Magento developers is not recommended. You may end up hurting your chances of getting better than the competition because your store is not good with SEO, design, performance, and all the other aspects that need tweaking.
The explanation of Cohen's filter for making new reals reminds me of surreal numbers {L | R} but in this case every real is in either L or R. Still, I fail to see how that gives you more than restricting L and R to contain only rational numbers...
Indeed, I consider the Space Shuttle an incredible huge engineering triumph. Basically built in the 70ies, it up to date is the most capable space vehicle built so far. Large crew compartment, huge cargo compartment, can fly space missions for weeks, allows extra vehicular activities, can take cargo down to earth and most importantly, can land on any large airport.

The problem was, while all of this was achieved, the resulting design was a bit too brittle (heat shields) and definitely too expensive to maintain between flights, so the prices were just off and the desired flight frequencies were never met.

While the engineering of the first edition of the shuttle was just great - especially considering some of the disputable design requirements - the failure rather lies in the fact that it never got a meaningful update. There were ambitious projects to produce a "next gen" shuttle with fixes "all" problems with the first gen, but they all failed. What was missing was updates and iteration. Just build a new shuttle which improves some aspects and keeps the rest of the design. Like a new heat shield, or just optimizing internal structures. That might have driven costs down and produced versions which still could be used. As, for example, we lost the capability to service the Hubble telescope.
In his time, to send a letter from the US to the UK took 6-12 weeks. "Fruit" was relatively rare, whether noxious or proper. Too much of anything can be harmful.

Your appeal to authority could also be applied to suffrage or the abolishment of slavery. "What makes you think that now, xxx years into the most propsperous society in human history, is the right time to revisit the institution of slavery"? Times change.

That said, there's nothing in particular to stop a political party in the US from being completely anti democratic and bringing down the entire system of both government, elections and the constitution. It just hasn't really started happening since the civil war until now.

UNIX is not a thing anymore, nobody writes UNIX code. People use various compatibility layer or straight up use kernel abis. And they are all improving over time. So no they are not all stuck in 80s. Even linux kernel devs are willing to add rust code in the mix.

Those newer languages will earn their share of historical baggage in time.

One anecdata point: I cannot easily suppress sneezing, at least not always. Delaying it for a second, for example when I am holding a cup of hot coffee and I want to put in on a table quickly before I sneeze, is sometimes possible, but I have to admit that sometimes I cannot even do that.

I don't think it's worth taking the entities' arguments seriously when linking real identities also just happens to make them a lot of money. It's clearly just a smokescreen for their true monetary intentions.

Note that a view can be a majority position even if it is extremely outdated. This often happens when the outdated position is much easier to explain than the more nuanced alternatives. E.g. when surveyed, evangelical preachers often endorse Arianism, despite it being considered outdated since 325AD.

Most people who've heard about what's happening in South Africa probably know that they've had major problems for pretty much their entire existence as a country which lead to this.

What are you trying to achieve by denying that he said the lines I quoted, which he really did say, then attacking me for quoting his own lines to you and "repeat[ing] those words out of context," when I actually took the time and effort to transcribe and include the entire context, and the context proves my point beyond any shadow of doubt? I didn't copy and paste an out-of-context sound bite from some social media tweet. I INCLUDED the context you're accusing me of ignoring, by transcribing every word in the video, line by line, with my own hands.

I notice you failed to directly address my questions about why you wrongly claimed that he didn't say that, and you failed to admit that you were wrong, and you failed to renounce your claim that other people were just making stuff up, or even admit the fact that YOU were the person who was actually making stuff up. Or is what you said just a little white lie?

The first of a dozen steps you should take is to please answer my questions directly, and explicitly admit that you were wrong, just for the record, so YOUR words of contrition are unambiguous, and there is no wiggle room for anyone to misinterpret what YOU mean, the same way you're trying to wildly misinterpret what Michael Saylor said, after your initially denial that he said it.

Since you're playing the game of initially denying then selectively cherrypicking what he said, and creatively re-interpreting and diluting his very own lines, to make the dubious claim that he didn't literally mean what he said, but actually meant something he never said (when he EMPHATICALLY said just the opposite in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS), then I can play that game too, by mirroring his own words, and my explanation for his erratic behavior is MUCH more plausible and believable and statistically likely than yours:

"Well Cocaine's the best drug.

What's the second best?

There is no second best.

There is no second best drug.

There's a drug that's called Cocaine, right?

Right.

There is no second best, ok?

But take all your money and buy Cocaine.

Then take all your time,

figure out how to

borrow money to buy more Cocaine.

Then take all your time and figure out

what you can sell to buy Cocaine.

And if you absolutely love the thing

that you don't want to sell it,

GO MORTGAGE YOUR HOUSE AND BUY COCAINE WITH IT.

And if you've got a business that you love,

because your family works for the business,

because it's in your family for 37 years,

and you can't bear to sell it,

mortgage it,

finance it,

and convert the proceeds to the hardest drug on earth,

which is Cocaine."

-Michael Saylor

Go ahead and deny he said that too, but obviously that's what he really must have meant, and why he said what he did, and my theory perfectly explains his irresponsible behavior.

The only way to rack up lines like that is with a mirror and Occam's Razor Blade.

How do you explain YOUR erratic behavior?

If we had atmospheric carbon removing machines, the extra energy would be a great fit but there are no such machines.

For now, bitcoin mining is a good use of the surplus energy. Nuclear plants run 24 hrs a day and the operators have a hard time figuring out what to do with the extra energy during periods of low demand. There's no economical way to store it. Bitcoin mining is a good way to use the extra energy until there's a cheap way to save it.

The plants could run at a constant rate and be able to shift to bitcoin mining during the slow periods. It would add to the overall resiliency of the electrical grid while paradoxically reducing the cost of running a nuclear plant. It's a very smart move.

This is another sign that bitcoin is here to stay.
Valve probably does not want to maintain their own distro. Using Arch as a core with their own packages on top is far easier and ensures you always have the newest core components.

There's plenty of people that will argue that Go's historical baggage is in the form of being primitive, and Rust already is a large language. That's the fun thing about these design discussions.
The catastrophic results come from overshoot; peak whale didn't have an overshoot where the folks exploiting whale oil then got into trouble because of fossil oil. Topsoil erosion will have overshoot because it's caused by people trying to get fed. When the topsoil goes those people are in trouble. For carbon the same is true - when it passes a certain point catastrophes occur - stopping the exploitation is not an option as it's toooooo late!
The business model of Weekday will have issues with opt-in and compliance on markets like the EU where their approach will breach GDPR by storing personal data for people who have not opted into this.

I have received an email from Weekday to my personal email address that I do not share anywhere in public.

When I asked the team where they have bought/obtained my data, I was told:

“We do not buy data at all. We get information about our candidates from individuals using our chrome extension and recommending candidates to us via LinkedIn. Therefore, your information has come through a LinkedIn recommendation.”

While the approach is creative growth hacking, storing my data (name, email and who knows what else) by using a Chrome extension to harvest data I thought would be private does not seem ethical. It’s not something I am happy about either, and it’s definitely something that is not GDPR compliant.
