Which is good, but they've been selling broken hardware for 5 years now. They'll fix them for you, but they'll sell you them in a state where they'll need to be fixed. I love Nintendo games. Grew up with them, and still play them (playing the new Pokemon at the moment), but man do I hate the corporation. Their development teams are incredible and the big ones never miss, but the corporate has so many knocks against them, from YouTube demonetization to the still broken joy cons.

I can't think of another first party wireless controller (since they became standard in 2005-2006ish) that has ever had issues this bad.
Actually for a while Nintendo's control was circumvented by 3rd party publishers. Modern consoles have the DMCA to thank for maintaining an iron grip on who and what can run on the machines they sell.
I really appreciate this response. This has given me something to think about.
No choices for Hong Kong or Macao.
The system presumes that leaders are lying or too weak. That in an org of 200 people, there must be some bad ones, and by culling them the average skill level goes up.

Nevermind the concept of growing your people. We'll just hope they grow on their own and replace them if they can't.

Every team is already understaffed anyways.
It's already semi-banned for bank-to-crypto and crypto-to-bank transactions. P2P transactions are unstoppable. You are confusing the government to god.
Wow, same results here. That's pretty poor.

Oh Wine is still incredibly buggy, but I'm still a big supporter obviously. Even Microsoft and Adobe products work barely with exactly the right versions and winetricks with the occasional tinkering, interface bugs, crashes. These are bugs that haven't been fixed in many years. I think an interesting development target for them would just be to choose the top 25 productivity apps and make the last 3 or 4 versions work smoothly without requiring users to spend time troubleshooting the installation, activation, getting standard app functions to work, etc..

Valve has leverage with game developers who rely on Steam for distribution to work together to get games working in Proton, but the same relationship doesn't exist for other non-native apps and Wine. So the development really needs to happen on the wine side.
>heard back from the Founder that many of the invites from before January 8th didn’t go through

That makes this situation even weirder. Why not just re-send them, considering that they should have the collected email address sitting right there? If it's a typeform issue, then some sort of message on their site would have been nice. I mean it's one thing if this was a free product, but the fact that they are planning to provide a paid search engine but can't manage the task of sending email invites and don't have any contact address* just ruins any enthusiasm I had of being a customer.

* I realize the founder has his email listed in the FAQ page, but emailing the founder for an issue like this seems quite gauche. And besides I did try reaching out on social media but didn't get any response.
143 comments and not one person has said the obvious yet: it's an alien fighter craft. Duh.
I can make money on either. Making money is not the problem here. But if you don’t feel a tinge of misery every time Windows Update “accidentally” makes Edge the default browser and you have to jump through dark patterns to disable it, every time start search lags because it’s contacting Bing even though you just want to launch calc.exe, every time you reinstall and Candy Crush is sitting there waiting for you, or every time you accidentally connect to WiFi during windows setup only to forget that it won’t let you set up a local account if you do, then we can’t be friends.

If it doesn’t feel like I control my computer, it doesn’t matter how polished the UI looks or how fast the games run. It’s a non-starter.

A Playstation / Xbox is pretty affordable.
That's one use case, but not every platform or forum can or should be expected to traffic in free-form controversy. If I'm on a car forum, I expect an "echo chamber" about cars with individuals interested in discussing cars, not to have a confrontational debate about race science or vaccines or Christian apologetics, at least not in the car threads.

Your previous comment stated you didn't see how it can work to be pro-American and want to give land back to Native Americans. I put out 5% as a random number. That was for the continental US only. I think Hawaii, Alaska, and say another 20% of continental America should be given to Native Americans and others mistreated by my country, etc.

We see understanding of terms isn't simple. I believe doing the above is very Pro-American and a great thing to do.

I have not understood Zionism that way. I regularly see hot take news and youtube try to pigeonhole stuff into attempting to describe some one as non Zionist and then pin things like dismantling Israel as part of that descriptor.

Here is a take of how not being a Zionist is not what you understand it as. Meghan McCain is as pro-Israel (alongside little if any regard for Palestine) as you can get. She wears those politics on her sleeves as transparently as you can get while having no ties to Israel outside friends with Israeli ties.

"McCain said. “I would go so far as to say I probably verge on being a Zionist as well.”[0]

> Iranians are trying to do

The Iranians are not doing that much. For an example right around the corner for what trying to uproot people in a land means, you can see what is happening in Yemen. Now that is trying. Comparatively, the amount of effort going into propping up Hamas is inconsequential. It's not good. It's bad. Iran is bad here. Hamas is bad here.

I think this comes down more to not the literal words being used all the time. But who is saying them, how they are, and more.

I know when some people, like a friend of my uncle's says he is not Zionist. Knowing him. Hell, if you hear him talk for just a little while. You know what he means. He means something closer to what you meant.

The actual phrase doesn't give it away. Every thing he says gives it away. Meanwhile, I hope everything I say give away I am not like that at all. In fact, that same person I believe has essentially called me some semblance of Jewish (as a pejorative). So I mean :/
Is there are reasonable way to do this on a mobile browser?
In my brief time there, I'm proud to say I was a member of the Inbox Resistance. Loved that app and tried to so hard not to refresh any browser once they turned it off internally. Goddam that one hurt.
How would you implement such a feature without a blockchain?

I suppose with some serverless AI at the edge?
My two cents.

I can't stand all the humble bragging.

One is not like the others. Modern mobile phones are pocket computers. And for some people the only device through which they can access more and more tools of modern life. Even the browser choice is severely limited.
Oddly enough, my experience was the opposite. After enjoying the Switch for 3+ years (purchased late 2018), the same price point bought me an XBOX Series S earlier this year (Series X were/(are?) hard to find and this was an impromptu purchase. Not entirely happy about that tradeoff).

Suffice to say, been having a blast catching up with old favorites and new games. The backward compatibility enhancements (higher FPS and upres'ing) really put into perspective just how little gaming has progressed generationally, which makes these games that much more enjoyable.

The Switch is an amazing device (own two - one modded and one non). While the availability of games increases daily, its performance will always remain the weak point.

That^ and its horrible controllers. The XBX controller is sublime.
People with tendencies of spending unhealthy amounts of money on games could be classified as having a mental illness. Instead they are indeed targeted and known as "whales".
Because not all programmers are made equal.

For some

If you're an "artist" type that care about the aesthetics of your code you tend to prefer the second.

Every time I'm tempted to get a PS5, I realize that what I probably actually want is a newer Switch with better graphics.
> The fact that it's there to begin with is still a problem.

I disagree, I think it's really just how it's dealt with that matters.

And again, this is literally the first time I've seen a comment like that on HN.
>The Wii U and Virtual Boy aside, how do they do it?

Nintendo's top-tier exclusives, and a constant focus on end-to-end user experience.

The PS4/Xbone (and even, to an extent, the 360/PS3) have so much jank when it comes to playing a game on them.

My experience with The Last of Us Part II basically consisted of inserting the game, waiting nearly 25 minutes for it to install, going through that entire process again, twice, because there was a smudge on the disc, then waiting another 20 mins to download a 10GB patch, only to load up the game and sit through hours upon hours of boring-as-fuck intro content before I saw a single zombie.

With Super Mario Odyssey, I put the game in, downloaded some optional 50MB patch in about 20 seconds, then started jumping around collecting coins and throwing my hat at everything.

They just "get it" in ways that Sony and Microsoft don't (or at least, haven't "got" since the original PS2/Xbox era).
> But is there sufficient infrastructure to use crypto in disfuctional state?

No, but it's better than the infrastructure in their countries.

I was tentatively excited for the prospect of the magic leap 2 being a successor or alternative to the hololens 2 in industrial / job site environments so am definitely disappointed to hear it has the same problems in those contexts as the magic leap 1. The ML1 was a complete non starter for us because it’s a physical safety hazard in any risky environment.

Thanks as always for your coverage on this stuff.
It's ironic to see this on Substack, which attracts its own brand of cringe.
These days, sticking with a traditional backend stack then sprinkle in unpoly or htmx on the frontend makes things so much simpler.

Their livelihoods are being threatened by fascists who are lying about them constantly, Trudeau is calling them every name in the book, yet where is the evidence? Where exactly are you seeing all these things taking place? If you watch any of the man-on-the-street video streams you'll see an overwhelmingly peaceful protest taking place with the media constantly lying about them because they won't bow their knee to Pfizer and Moderna.

Yeah, Google is still my default browser, though I haven't used other engines enough to develop a strong opinion here.

I'll add that I could have been more clever with my query. For instance, if I surround the lyric in quotes, Google returns the right result first.

Original query: like you didn't care I don't know why lyrics r&b

Improved query: "like you didn't care I don't know why" lyrics r&b

At the end of the day, I'm not frustrated with Google. I use it every day and it saves me lots of time. It just amuses me that in some cases, other engines that probably use simpler search algorithms are objectively better. And in this case, I think it's fair to expect Google to produce the right result on page 1.
I have no stake in this protest one way or the other but I'm curious how you expect the peaceful protesters to stop the bad actors? Ask them politely? Shoot them? Call the police?
This is even more evident in the time of Covid. Currently Covid patients have to do imaging at the very end of the day so Covid sanitizing protocols don’t have to be repeated over and over all day. It may seem minor but delaying imaging can delay other procedures and therapies for an entire day. Having the option to transport the equipment instead of the patient has many clear benefits.
Been there. As exploited, exploiter, and big big company working around the exploiters.

It sounds like you work for a middle man. The client would be happy to hire you directly, but probably have to deal with the logistics of hiring someone in a foreign country. To them, what matters is the work gets done, even at a high price. That's why they go through the company. If you quit, the work doesn't get done. This happens a lot with exploitative agencies, people quit, they get replaced.

It's ideal for the big big comoany to hire you directly. They save money, which probably isn't their main concern. But you'll also work with the best people money can buy, on projects like the one you're doing plus other more confidential ones they won't outsource.

tldr: Find a better job. It might not be in a first world company (visa restrictions suck). But there's probably better agencies, like Toptal, who'll take care of you.
Please don't besmirch Cuba by comparing it to Canada.
"The workaround" is to add few lines in VM's XML, which are available in pretty much every VFIO / GPU passthrough guide (in "code 43" sections). Like these ones:

https://mathiashueber.com/windows-virtual-machine-gpu-passth...
https://linustechtips.com/topic/978579-guide-linux-pci-gpu-v...
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF

And you don't have to do it for the most of AMD cards and the newest NVIDIA cards.

Unfortunately that's not beginner-friendly, I know, but that's the problem of VFIO in general - you can't really do it without being comfortable with terminal, editing configuration files etc. It would be cool to make it automatic somehow, but that would require making some tool(s) for all the preparatiary work (assigning vfio-pci driver, building united) and adding features to virt-manager (to be able to all the stuff graphically, without modifying XML).

But anyway, in your original comment you said that passthrough is not possible with consumer GPUs, which is simply not true. It's possible with pretty much every consumer card.
for me too - I finally figured out they just have a very weak connection to the Switch. basically needs a clear line-of-sight to the console. Try putting your joycons behind your back and you'll see what I mean! Hope this helps
> And...it is not like you HAVE to live in SF, there are plenty of cities nearby

All of which have even more draconian zoning policies that permit only SFH (not even a 5+1). If SF had 10 times as much housing maybe we'd have 10 times as many people being productively employed in industries in the city instead of being forced to locate elsewhere. Maybe some of those people wouldn't HAVE to work in tech/finance to afford the city.

Your opposition to increased density benefits only yourself and existing landowners.

When you add a contact and they come to see your profile, that’s most likely because they came to unfollow you. Do the same. But all you are left with is an advert stream.
It would be nice if this worked, but in Google's defense, this is an odd combination of an exact search phrase of common words and then a couple categorical terms that don't have to actually appear on the page. If you help it by searching for just the quoted phrase you want without the additional terms it puts the result you want both as the top result and in a pullout at the top of the page: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22like+you+didn%27t+care+I+...

I'm specifically referring to reviews and comments Dennet has made of the work of totally secular, atheist or agnostic , non Christian philosphers of mind and neuroscientists. He literally just tosses insults around in some of his reviews and it's kinda pathetic that such an eminent scholar engages in such tactics.

Overall, He does dismiss the hard problem, calling it stage magic. This is exactly the tactic you might imagine an intelligent man would use after having spent a lifetime to fail to explain anything meaningful.
Would love to see AAA games streaming from a cloud and playable on Nintendo devices.

Maybe something like, if you’re playing on portable mode, since the screen is so much smaller, the on board processor is good enough but when plugged in it seamlessly switches to a cloud instance.

Or just have more firepower in the dock, that would work too.
I've scanned about 300 people as part of my research career. The director of the imaging center reviewed every anatomical scan. From that group of 300 we informed about three people that they had an anomaly which should be examined by a doctor.

Google results for lyrics used to be filled with hundreds of scummy SEOed sites that stole content from each other. I wonder if some SEO-blocking algo change has had the effect of blocking all song lyrics from google results.
That was my conclusion as well! Sadly, I can't get much closer to the Switch due to living room geometry. I've also noticed the Switch has a very weak Wifi radio.
If you think about what 1970s "middle income" jobs looked like, they were mostly factory jobs that paid well. Nowadays those jobs don't exist due to deindustrialization. So you can't really blame that income inequality on domestic US social policy when a big portion was due to US foreign policy.
HDR works for the Photos app. Though it doesn’t work for social apps I’ve tried, I’ve seen similarly high brightness static images in Safari. If you can’t do it with canvas, I’m betting you can do it with a Blob object/blob: URL or even just a plain data: URL. You’ll also need to set the appropriate color space, otherwise it’ll default to sRGB. You very well may also need to use some non-web APIs (pick your binary interface of choice), if canvas clamps to 8-bit (which I’m too lazy to look up on mobile at this particular moment, but I’d be surprised if it doesn’t).

I find the illusion explanation for complex phenomena unhelpful.

At best, this is doing nothing to actually explain - it has no value. 'Well yes, consciousness is difficult to understand because of an error in our reasoning' . It's almost circular reasoning ... you're explaining mental phenomena with mental phenomena.
AFAIK there's nothing in the rails guides to help with authorisation. I googled and couldn't decide between pundit and cancancan. I went with the latter because of some tutorial videos I found. But it wasn't easy: 1. I couldn't find documentation for methods so common as `can?` [1], and 2. the 'magic' of how rails automatically sets instance variables differently and sometimes not at all before each action was also very confusing. Like many other things, it was confusing until you understood what it was doing, but figuring out exactly what it was doing and why took hours of experimenting with the behaviours of each action, and being the recipient of quite a lot of condescension on stack overflow for even asking.

Because everyone has heard of most the US’ states, but most people wouldn't have a clue where South Tyrol, or Chubut are.

Also, in IT or CS, a state like TX or CA are more prominent than any European one. CA is probably more important by itself than all of Europe. Even PA or GA are heavy hitters that would smoke most similarly sized EU countries.

Effectiveness of Face Mask Use in Indoor Public Settings for Prevention of Covid
I'm a strong proponent of fighting light pollution (sky glow is horrible), but I'm totally against people trying to mislabel satellites as light pollution. One of the cool night sky observations you could do was to catch Iridium flares. Also it's completely impossible to determine without looking it up if the satellite you're seeing is a starlink satellite or not. I further doubt that that person is seeing them as those things are 6.5 magnitude which is nigh impossible for a human eye to see. There's LOTS of other satellites, much larger ones. If you go to a dark sky site you see satellites all the time, and I saw plenty before starlink as well.
