"Was" in an operative word. Nintendo was selling N64 games virtually on the Wii in 2007. They have yet to improve on that offering.

The closest they got was Super Mario 3D All-Stars that included emulation of a GameCube (Mario Sunshine) and a Wii (Mario Galaxy) game, but Nintendo being Nintendo, it was on the e-shop for a limited time and a limited manufacturing run for physical release. Two console generations after the Wii, the most Nintendo can muster is bringing back Nintendo 64 games to their current console, 5 years after the console's release. It's pathetic.
Partly it's because their own educational background doesn't let them develop this kind of pride in their work. Modern education schools' doctrine is that kids don't even need to be taught anything because they can simply "learn everything by themselves" with just a few hints about what sort of 'inquiry' they should undertake. This can seem to "work" well enough for high-achieving students who can always rely on someone (either themselves or family) to pick up the slack; it's invariably a dismal failure for everyone else.
It is questionable morally to only comment on this situation in a way designed to personally benefit you.
Moderation teams and technology: Improving customer retention (2015)
Honestly I just wish I had classes which only allowed students who wanted to be there.

So much of my public school education was wasted on teachers having to deal with some subset of students who wanted to do nothing but disrupt everyone else.

It got better when I could choose AP classes since generally by that point everyone wanted to be in those classes.
> I hit a wall when stuff got genuinely difficult or required significant work.

I hit that wall my freshman year at Caltech. What a disaster. All my strategies of effortless A's blew up in my face. I'd get comments like "I really should fail you, but I'm going to give you a break." At the end of first semester of sophomore year, I had to come to grips with solving this or leaving.

After that, each semester came easier and easier, as I learned how to learn.

I'm so glad freshman year was pass/fail, as my execrable performance that year did not affect my final GPA. I also am indebted to several people who freely gave the gift of their time to help me out.

(I never would have succeeded with remote learning.)

It is worth giving it a try, why not. I'm a Firefox user and I gave it a try for ~3 months out of boredom (and perception of higher speed). The novelty wore off and I went back to FF, but now I know why I like it more.

With Brave I never really bought into the advertising model so all those little donation buttons and crypto suggestions started to bother me.
I relate to the OP on a fundamental level although the literal expression would be different for me. I do not think it has any relation to speed. It is not a deliberate step. It would be slower to mimic this behavior, but if you have it by default it's just kind of there.

Certain calculations are actually faster because i begin to have faith in my feeling of the math over doing an actual calculation - with the same type of confidence i have when recalling a times table for example. Still, it usually doesnt get me all the way to an answer

There are certain mathematical rules that you can probably identify that are related to my internal expressions and how they "fit" together. For example, I do not know without calculating what "25 x 15" is, but I have an idea of what the answer feels like. anything below 100 or over 1000 feels outright OCD level out-of-place. Numbers like 114, 201, etc, feel dirty and incomplete. we can identify in this scenario that the shape / feeling of the answer for me is related to an intuition for the mathematical principle that the product of two numbers that are divisible by 5 is also divisible by 5 - but at no point did I deliberately evoke that rule when conceiving of a possible answer. Also this is a simple example, this intuition runs beyond my knowledge and ability to formally explain the principles. In reality, many such principles (learned or inferred) come together at once to feed my internal expression of the answer. A calculator says 375 is the answer, though 325 and 475 feel about the same

I do not think it makes me better at getting correct answers, but it does help me accept an answer as being correct when looking at it also feels right. It's most useful when identifying errors. There is a big help when you see "15 x 25 = 356" and without thinking you can feel internally like something is out of place, dirty, needs attention (this applies to advanced topics as well). As I said above though, more than the correct answer can have the same or similar feeling - so it is prone to false negatives

With something like math, intuition based guess work that has room for false negatives is hardly that useful overall. So maybe the only real edge it can provide is in working with novel concepts where you have to guess a direction to explore and hope you uncover something useful. That is an unfounded hypothesis though.
Public school was the same for me. It wasn't until doing poorly in college that I realized that I actually needed to study to do well. Unfortunately, I had never developed study habits as I hardly had to crack a book to do well before. It was quite a struggle for me to teach myself how to learn when I couldn't just pick up the material from class.

To me that illustrates the general failure of public school is not teaching children how to learn.
(your hard drive story is the story of my life, up to about 10 years ago. I have eliminated all but one hard drive from my house and that one doesn't spin most of the time)

Lately my vendor discussions have centered around how much work you can get done with a machine that has half a terabyte of RAM, 96 cores, and 8 NVME SSDs (it's a lot). my college box: 40MB disk, 4MB RAM, 1 66MHz CPU.
When I got my first NVMe SSD, I was disappointed that it wasn’t significantly faster than my SATA SSD.

But soon I realized that it was Samsung’s Magician software that made the SATA SSD competitive with an NVMe SSD via RAM caching.
Web browser business must be hard unless you have a complimentary revenue stream. Brave tries to push on some new tech fronts, like IPFS, but there is no third wheel between Apple - Google - Mozilla. Also, Mozilla is losing impact when commercial operators are winning over mission driven companies.
Meh, other languages manage to assign multiple meanings to single tokens and depend on context to resolve ambiguity. PHP's issue here is that it refuses to do so, which is how we ended up with the backslash as a namespace delimiter.
Hah, if you can fit the whole OS plus running applications easily in RAM, and you don't boot often - fine. But you're basically doing the same thing but with extra steps :P
> I'm so glad freshman year was pass/fail

MIT had the same policy when I was there, and I felt the same way about it: I needed that year to at least get started developing the study habits I didn't have to develop in high school.
I have spent most of my early computer years playing Sierra games and (Beyond) Dark Castle on a Mac SE.

There's no validation right now, but they could do that if they wanted to.
WAD files like this don't contain any original doom assets and are free to distribute. The files are created by completely independent tools (typically Doom Builder) and only contain binary and text lumps created in whole by the editor. There's no executable code in WAD files that's linked in or becomes a part of the game engine either. You have to have a commercial version of doom 2 to use this level in particular (it cannot run on its own or without the original doom 2 assets). Think of this like a .doc file you're loading in MS Word, but it's new levels for the game.

Some total conversions and such could be in a legal grey area or bad place if they take the original assets of the game (sprites, sounds, music, etc) and include them in their WAD files to distribute. There are some projects like Freedoom that recreated the entire asset pack of the original doom games so that someone could use it freely if there are legal concerns.
It's right in the introduction [0]: "All students deserve powerful mathematics; we reject ideas of natural gifts and talents (Cimpian et al, 2015; Boaler, 2019) and the “cult of the genius” (Ellenberg, 2015)."

Note that this post isn’t really about Grischuk, rather the author is pissed about sanctions on Russian oligarchs.

The last paragraph is incredibly revealing:

> if those individuals are found guilty, and the process generates yacht seizure as the appropriate remedy, bring it on. But just taking the yachts without true due process? Nein, Danke.

This is a criticism of the overall sanctions regime disguised as something else entirely. This person believes that Putins buddies assets should be left untouched.

It’s important to distinguish Apple script the language from the dictionaries of events that apps support. The language is fine. It’s a little different, and there are many features from modern languages like Python that it could use.

But the main issue is not the language, but the event dictionaries exposed by applications. I once spent most of a day finding out that a “page” was not an element of a “document”, but a “spread” was, and a “page” was an element of a “spread”. That might have been in adobe pagemaker.

When the dictionary is clear, everything is fine. When it’s opaque, that’s when things get sticky. To be clear, AppleScript and app dictionaries are awesome — just someone’s also painful.

This was, to me, the greatest benefit of being put in a gifted program in 3rd grade. I was so used to everything being easy that I cried at home that I had homework taking longer than 10 minutes that I actually had to concentrate on. I asked my dad to go back to the regular program, and he said I should stick it out for at least another month. I did, and learned how to work through things that seemed challenging at first.

The experience of having to put forth effort early(ish) in my life set me up far better for dealing with life later, because I learned how to push past things that were uncomfortable instead of giving up (i.e. "grit" became a part of my psyche when it was still pretty flexible).

I probably could have learned this lesson in other ways, but the fact that it's one of my clearest childhood memories certainly speaks to the impact it had on my life. And I know plenty of friends whose first experience needing to put effort happened in college, and things seemed a lot harder for them emotionally.

Well, RAM is significantly faster than even SSD, and now I don't have to muck about w/ a 2nd drive :)

Not to mention the spinning rust is cheaper.
This is just a whitelabeled Jitsi deployment. They might've added some extra features, but you can get the same at https://meet.jit.si/. If you want to run your own server, you can deploy the software pretty easily (docs at https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/devops-guide/devops-gu...).

I set up a Jitsi deployment for my company in mid 2020 when everyone went online, and it's served us quite faithfully.
TBH I don't think cloud gaming is a long term solution. It might be a medium term solution for people with cheap laptops but eventually the chip in cheap laptops will be able to produce photo realistic graphics and there will be no point going any further than that
Ok, site request (aside from MDN): pkg.go.dev

Many of these are linked to GitHub/GitLab repos, so I'm not sure how you'll deduplicate that.
My advice, as someone who has never started a business and has no intention of doing so in the near future:

Make a list of _everything_ that goes with running a business. Think through the whole process. Who are your clients? How do they know of your product/service? Why do they care? What are they willing to pay? How will you get their money? What if they're unhappy after spending money? How will you find new clients? Where? How do you pay taxes? Are updates included? Etc etc etc.

Write this down, figure out which parts you like, which parts you're okay with, and which parts you absolutely hate.

Now start spending most of your time doing the parts you hate. Those are the major obstacles to success; the other tasks are more fun and therefore far easier on the spirit.

If your list of tasks is sufficiently complete and you are successful at the tasks you hate, you stand a shot!

> These are not, which is the point. Nintendo is doing this intentionally with their own DMCA takedowns. These aren't accidental false positives picked up by content id.

Parent’s point is that Nintendo is not sending actual, official DMCA takedowns. They go through Youtube’s system that only needs suspicion of violation to strike the videos.
I had been planning to make security cameras with RPi, HQ Camera, and a 3d-printed case. But that was back when Pi 4's were $30, rather than unobtainable. I hadn't really figured out the software story, but my previous attempts with Pi Zero and basic camera left me wanting more horsepower.
>Parents/families need to make the decision to give up on the positive returns of gifted education in favor of potential learning outcomes for other students or even more remote, long term outcomes of (maybe) less crime or increased tax base 20 years after graduation. I am not sure if this is a viable demand to place on parents/families given how competitive society at large is.

It's a hard, if not impossible, sell to ask any parent to sacrifice their child on that altar no matter how competitive they are.
I seriously doubt they would. Gabe Newell, Valve's owner, has talked about how piracy is a service problem. Steam is wildly successful even though most of the games on the service either have no DRM or Steam's easily cracked one.

There's also a YT video from over a year ago with over 250k views with a title about pirating games, which I imagine would've gotten taken down if Valve cared since it references Steam specifically.

As someone who has the Steam Link, a PSTV (the old one), and a switch, the switch is the only one with anything approaching "turn it on and play a game". I only play the switch 'docked', on a large screen. The steam controller is, in my opinion, a really poor control device. The switch pro controller at least does normal controller-like things - although i think it's too small.

The PSTV generally has issues with updates or connectivity, but when it works it's roughly the same quality on my 720p projector as the switch and the steam link. And there's the answer to "why not just play the Playstation directly?" - in order to get sound that's synchronized with the screen, you need a way to get the video from the sound bar area where the playstation lives to the projector, which is a dozen feet away, on the ceiling. With the switch, the dock is next to the projector, and bluetooth sends audio fast enough for 99% of switch games. Steam link has built in BT as well. Sony doesn't. long range HDMI cables cost more than the PSTV did, so there's all the answers anyone could want.

When, once or twice a month i want to sit on the most comfortable chair in my house and play a game, it's the switch. I also try my best to only buy games with cartridges unless there's a serious sale and i have a gift card.
HN readers might be interested in this section:

The video and audio from your call are transmitted to other participants with the help of a Video Bridge server that’s run by Brave’s partner, 8x8. When you enable Video Bridge Encryption in Security Options, your browser exchanges keys with other call participants, and these keys are used to encrypt the video and audio streams. Only people with keys can see your calls. Assuming no malevolence, neither Brave nor its partner, 8x8, have this key by default.

However, there are some important limits to Video Bridge Encryption. If you want to include a phone participant in your call, have more than 20 participants, or want to include users with incompatible browsers (Safari, most iOS browsers, and browsers based on Chromium version 83 or below), this encryption setting will not work. If you record a call, 8x8’s servers will receive a set of keys to decrypt the video/audio stream in order to process and store that recording. Brave will continue to improve Brave Talk’s encryption properties and work to remove some of these limitations.

Read a more detailed description of Jitsi encryption (the open source basis for Brave Talk).
That's reasonable. My comment is a reaction to the unneeded title. Knowing relative speeds of things as well as ways to characterize and debug them is generally important.
There are what 300 M people in the US today? This is 9 B Sq Ft or 300 + sq miles of burial space, about 12x the size of Manhattan, every 100 years or so…

We shouldn’t be thinking about burying people, or doing so in a sustainable way
This completely encourages piracy of recently released software.

You can't give me the archivist argument that there's no other ways to experience these games.

Nintendo is not targeting the same market as the Steam Deck. The Steam Deck still looks too much like a prototype for me to want to buy it.
A very large percentage of games available on Steam will simply not work on a steam deck. Nobody knows if it's even possible to get Microsoft Game Pass running on it, and for many PC gamers that's a significant percentage of your library. Nobody knows if other storefronts are going to play ball.

For example, I really wanted to play the HD. Tony hawk. But since Epic has an exclusive deal, I dusted off my PS4 and played it there.

Compare this to a Nintendo switch, it's a small game console for me to play Smash Bros and Advance Wars. It's a vastly more polished experience. I don't need to worry about Photon compatibility issues , I can just play a video game.

It's as if someone posted "Here's how you get Netflix for free", and Netflix filed a DMCA request against it. You can't call Netflix the bad guy here. Likewise Nintendo isn't monopolizing an essential service, you can enjoy other content. You just don't have a right to enjoy theirs without paying the entry fee.

For example, if you decide you don't want to buy a Mac, and then your Hackintosh gets your Apple account banned, you have no one to blame but yourself.
After a year or two driving around a new town and being frustrated with drivers driving 10 mph or more under the speed limit, I heard an npr report that 1 in 5 drivers was on an ssri. Probably another 20% on pot.

Correlation or causation of my anxiety, idk.
Soon is still a lot later than immediate. And they won't be that large because even cheap PV needs time to be manufactured in large enough quantities to matter.
As far as I can tell, there is zero functionality in Brave related to ipfs that can't be accomplished in a different browser with a very simple plugin. They're not running the p2p net as a transport, last I looked.

It's not very important though, as approximately nobody is using ipfs to move webpages to eyeballs, and actually nobody is choosing their browser based on support for ipfs or lack thereof. (I say this as a big proponent of ipfs and an early adopter/user.)

This is one of the things that contributes to the brand incoherence. Chasing anything that's trending (ico! p2p web! google's quality is declining, so search engine! video calls!) does not instill confidence.

It reminds me a lot of Mozilla (the Brave CEO's last gig), another organization that seems to have no defined philosophy or clear product strategy other than keeping antitrust regulators off of Google's back.
I was curious too, the network one is a TODO:
https://github.com/colin-scott/interactive_latencies/blob/ma...

Although I'd expect more jumps than Fast Ethernet to Gigabit, it's true the consumer space is kind of stuck on Gigabit (with 2.5 GbE just becoming more common now). Datacenters have had at least 10 GbE for many years.
This is the key aspect for me in my assessments of reasonability in another person.

I immediately see red flags when someone presents themself as absolutely certain of their pronouncements and more so when they repeatedly show that there is little or no correlation between their confidence level in making a particular statement and the amount of evidence they have or the amount of work they put into determining their conclusions. The truly unfortunate part, in my experience, is that managers typically see this confidence as a surface level indicator that these people know what they're talking about and give these unreasonable people the authority act on their over-confidence.
Seems likely, given this faq:

>Do I need the Brave browser to use Brave Talk?

>Yes and no. To start a call, you’ll need to be on the Brave browser. However, people you invite to a call can join from any browser. They just need the call link.

So, most of it already functions on other browsers...they are gating the "start a call" bit. The faq has some details on some sort of encryption relay they have 8x8 run for them, so maybe there's some key management stuff in the brave browser?
Do you not find the dispersion of ratings more interesting than the averages? Within most sites that promote ratings there is often a standard-ish dispersion, and an outlier is of far greater concern to me than the average. A solid 3 for a budget restaurant is of far lower concern than a bathtub distribution, which suggests your visit is a crapshoot.
It also means changing vocabularies, metaphors, voice pitch, etc.

For an extreme example, note how you raise the pitch of your voice, and use very simple language when talking to a toddler.

That kind of dramatic change usually only benefits people with nothing to lose or a distinct next-level gain to make.

Norvig definitely isn't in the first category and has many better avenues for gains than an attempted split of the US (think about who does potentially benefit from that).

Plus hackers love puzzles.

So it's not surprising that politics isn't what it was about.
