Not sure what you mean. The fact that in the last century or so wars have been having disproportionately high numbers of civilian casualties does not mean that this is acceptable. When is it necessary to kill civilians and what makes it a necessity? And if there is a necessity why is there a war criminal court? I suggest we are careful with the excuses we give, in this case in order to argue “e-casualties” you also argue that if Putin thinks Ukraine is the aggressor he can go after civilians.
They would make more money from emulated content if they allowed you to transfer your purchases to the next generation console.

So they don't just want to make money off of it, they want every emulated Nintendo title to survive the same way Grand Theft Auto or Skyrim does, except it's just you buying it over and over again on the newest Nintendo console.
It is not (only) nostalgia. I replayed Doom 1 & 2 a few years ago. To my big surprise, it is still a masterpiece. It did not age much, similarly to Terminator 2, The Matrix, or The Lord of the Rings.

No talk, all action. Weapon and monster balance; each time you get plasma, you are happy; you muster all of your attention each time you encounter an archvile. Level design, mixing unsettling sceneries with mazes and puzzles. And you feel the frenzy of hell, with armies fighting with you and infighting each other.

For years the only remotely close thing to that was The Painkiller series. Recently we got Doom 2016 (which is beautiful, pace-wise, and atmosphere-wise) and Doom Eternal (mechanically faster, cartoony, and somewhat cheap story).
> You may be misrembering - a Mac would be very rare in a UK school - it was probably an Apple II.

Getting even more off-topic, but I remember being a kid/teen in 1980s/90s Australia, and the diversity of machines we got to use at school impresses me in hindsight: Apple IIs, Commodore 64s, classic Macs, Acorn Archimedes, IBM PC JXs running DOS, Atari STs, no-name IBM PC compatibles running Windows 3.x/9x and Netware. (Not all at the same school, that was across four different schools I attended K-12.) My own kids don’t get exposed to anywhere near as much technological variety.
>But the modern education system was created for the exact opposite. To limit family bonding in favor of allegiance to the state and teach them enough to be drones for the factory/work force/military. Children are resources to be processed by the state via their factory-like schools into products to be consumed by corporations, government, etc.

I always see takes like this but it just strikes me as a Conspiracy theory. We can easily get to the modern US education system via poorly thought out incentives and incompetence. You don't need malicious actors to get there. I would be curious if you had evidence to support a claim like this?

To the downvoters: Do you honestly believe there is a Cabal in the US Government who sit in a room and say "Yes we must crush gifted students and make sure our education system is terrible so we have more drones for the factory/work force/military??

It sure is, but the cost of ownership if the Switch is higher than that of the Steam deck. Games on Steam are cheap and plentiful.

The quality requirements of the Nintendo's storefront are ridiculously low. I've seen footage of the Switch WWE game and frankly it should never have been allowed into any store front, let alone the one people expect to be better.

There are plenty of platformers out there, but only one company can use Mario. The games on the Switch are pricey, but the console is affordable, making it excellent for multiplayer gaming.

I don't think it has a lower price and better games in practice. They did manage to corner the portable gaming space with their 3DS and Switch, which all major competitors abandoned. Now they're at risk of losing that too.
> A lower price and better games is quite a lot actually.

Lower price, yes, but better games? Different games, sure but I wouldn't call them better given that it can run almost everything a windows PC can.

Look, I don't like assimilation either, but it's hard to deny its effectiveness in small, narrowly targeted doses. Aligning with the most critically important values from mainstream society (such as being law-abiding, and focusing on education and public-minded social development) is a recipe for very real success; the opposite values are a recipe for failure. This is not a fact about 'Whiteness'; it's simply about how the social world works.
That’s not how the modelling works. That’s a mischaracterisation, a straw man argument.
In a sense the dice are rolled constantly. Every time someone monitors a nuclear power’s early warning system there is a risk that system will return a false positive. There is a chance the operator won’t recognize it. There is a chance the geopolitical situation will cause leadership to believe it is a true positive. There is a chance they will choose to launch on warning rather than risk loosing the opportunity at a meaningful counter attack. I agree that it’s probably impossible to estimate the probability, but it is definitely greater than 0. Eventually the dice will come up snake eyes. Hopefully not before we figure out how to stop rolling them.

We all felt the same way about SEGA in the early 90’s…
Switch has better battery life than Deck, has a supply chain which is actually able to aquire parts in mass quantities and sell to a large number of customers, and is more user friendly than any PC will ever be.

I'll be buying a Deck in a few months when my preorder is ready to ship, but it's a niche product for tech enthusiasts while Nintendo makes mass market products for the general public.

This is probably the best that could happen to him and other relevant Russian athletes:

If allowed to play will be exposed to a myriad of blood-thirsty journalists asking a chess player to talk about war. Would be asked, required and pressed thousands of times to speak against it or to clarity their position about it.

Anything that he says will be politicized.

1) Can choose to talk against the war and Putin, be cheered for a few days and return to Russia, where will be immediately put in jail and silenced, or end in the ever increasing list of people assassinated in this last decades. Or face retaliation against their families... Losing option.

2) Or can choose to say that Putin is a genius and the war is necessary. Will alienate their fan-base, friends and sponsors and end this international career. The championship could be boycotted by furious people.
So. Losing option again. Everybody loses (except Putin). At least will not root in a jail.

3) Trying to remain neutral wouldn't work. Remaining silent in the middle of a genocide is the same as supporting it. And their words will be most probably cherry-picked by journalists to make it appear as supporting one or the other option.

So the only wining situation is not being allowed to play. Losing a championship or two and keeping a low profile for a while. Low price to pay for keeping his career and life relatively unscathed.

Is not his fault if he can't be used as living advertising for the politics of Putin. Will not earn the contempt of other chess masters or the hate of the fans for an parallel event that can't control and wasn't looking for.
Only you very rational geopolitics experts who understand power politics understand anything that's going on right? Everyone else is just too hopey feely and not paying attention to the framework you have set up.

If you look up from your theories, Russia's supposedly mighty military is struggling badly and Ukrainians don't appear to subscribe to your framework that doesn't give them any agency. It's a tragedy maybe it would be better if they just rolled over and let Russia control their politics but they don't want to
And out of all this, by far the most unethical thing Nintendo has ever done is refuse to release an English-language translation of Mother 3. I'll never forgive them for this, and I decided long ago I'll never buy another one of their products until they release it.
> this video only showed emulators and not ROMs

It is probably still in violation of the DMCA. The DMCA also makes illegal tools that are primarily intended for circumvention, which these emulators almost certainly are.

But, even moreso, removals of videos on youtube are typically not done through the DMCA directly, but rather through a private extra-judicial system youtube manages (content-id et al).

Of course youtube has the rights, as a private company, to remove videos for no reason. Of course Nintendo can request youtube to remove any video for any reasons, DMCA or not, with no legal issues.

I doubt any DMCA, false or otherwise, has actually been issued in this case, and "accountability for incorrect DMCAs" would not help as a result.
I was being hyperbolic. It's obviously a substantial power draw, like the window defroster.
Ostensibly not true :) Even in the vanilla engine, Z axis calculations are used everywhere (one of the most obvious visual effects is when fireballs and rockets fly over your head).

"Doom is 2D" is an urban legend dating to the 1990s that badly needs to die. It is not and has never really been true, and should be even more obvious after its open source release.

I don't think the issue is only the history.

Surprisingly large number of people believe that if people in the neighbouring city vote to speak on their language and govern themselves locally, they deserve punishment up to death.

And there is similarly large number of people who believe that it is noble to die for a line on the map.

So forgetting history would have a very small effect only on a very small number of conflicts.
Unlike other implementations, as far as I can tell, this one composes encoders. Under the hood it can use encoding/json.Marshal or goccy/go-json.Marshal (another existing very fast library) or any other libary that implements the json.Marshal call.

This implementation is competitive (sometimes faster, sometimes slower) with good implementations like goccy/go-json on its own, and beats goccy/go-json when composing this library with goccy/go-json.

This composition and goccy/go-json performance is included in the post.

Maybe in a followup post I'll do more benchmarks against other fast libraries. But for this one I wanted to show the process and then just pick one fast library for comparison.

Edit: also, I forgot to mention in the post but some libraries speed up encoding by requiring a fixed schema. DataStation/dsq is extremely dynamic and I'll never know the schema up front. Just another reason why I couldn't use some existing faster libraries.
It also tells us that the speed of light has not increased.

(well, speed of signal on a PCB track is roughly 2/3 light and determined by the transmission line geometry and the dielectric constant, but you all knew that)
Good piece. Typo in the last line: It's "stave off", not "stage off".
For the absolute worst of schools, perhaps extending online learning might be best. That way disruptive students can just be muted. And then provide some physical location where students can do online classes when they don't have a suitable home environment.

Switch has an e-shop with expensive games that will eventually get offlined within a couple generations like the ones before it vs. Steam, an e-shop with every game, for cheaper, including all the games people bought over the last two decades.

I can imagine how disruptive a successful Steam entry into the console space could be once people realize they are tired of "renting" $60 games from ad-hoc console e-shops.

Yes I realize this. I realize it is a bit like programming. You do not try to figure out how everything is going to work from the get go. You just start hacking at it, until you get results.
The issue I am now running into is, I'm really lacking in opportunities to even meet women. Engineering background and so on, just lots of men.

> To be a dedicated fan of Nintendo's franchises is to be a masochist.

For example I am a Zelda and Metroid fan (by “fan” I mean “someone that enjoys playing those games”), but I don’t think I’ve ever cared about any video game to the point of actually subjecting myself to any suffering. I know even more diehard friends than me that happily use emulators for games that they can’t find/afford.

Maybe there is a masochistic style of being a fan that someone can choose to subscribe to, but it’s not clear that it’s Nintendo’s fault that one would make such a choice.
Aren't Starlink terminals hyper-directional? Seems like it would be hard to triangulate them.

Seems like the NSA recommends a vpn to obscure VSAT use. They don't have much else to say about anonymity.

EDIT 2: Found this thread:

https://old.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/comments/t5y67a/updati...

EDIT 3:

After some thought, I think Starlink will be robust against tracking. They should be harder to locate then VSATs which the author mentions in the Twitter thread. In comparison:

1. They are beaming to a constantly moving swarms of satellites rather then a geostationary satellite:
a. So timing attacks can't be used to find a search path.
b. The beam is moving to even he a plane pickup on a signal it would quickly lose it as the beam moved. Although there is a workaround I won't mention.

2. They are lower powered so the signal is weaker. I assume they are just as directional.

3. They are smaller and harder to spot.

4. They are much more numerous.

5. They are portable.

The DMCA is ridicously unbalanced. There's no penalty to filing false reports and if you disagree with a claim you have to hand over your personal information and fight it out in court. This is hardly a surprise given that the DMCA was written mostly by the copyright lobby; sadly, the law is working exactly as intended in such cases.

It's time to redo the DMCA, but I fear the copyright industry has only gained a bigger foothold since the DMCA was written.
Thank you. He does not come across as the usual hypeman selling snake oil. I will check him out.
I noticed the year was an editable field but didn't change the data before I noticed the slider.
More access points is the only real solution. Ideally with Ethernet backhaul - mesh systems still consume spectrum which is what you're after - there's a finite amount of it (that you need to share with neighbors - especially on 2.4Ghz - and potential interference) and you need to maximize efficiency, so only use it for mobile devices that can't be wired - static access points (and other devices, TV, gaming console, etc) should be wired.

Mesh systems are a step up and can work but due to their cost (and also the fact it's usually hard to tell how well it'll perform without actually buying it and trying it out in the field) I would very much recommend just biting the bullet and doing it once and well with wired access points. A stop-gap solution would be to use powerline adapters to provide the Ethernet backhaul to the access points; you'll be limited in terms of bandwidth (mine top out at ~100Mbps in my current property, but went to ~300 in my previous one) but latency and packet loss-wise they're rock-solid and won't hog the precious Wi-Fi spectrum.

Forget consumer-grade crap as well, go for enterprise-grade equipment or at the very least "prosumer" grade such as Ubiquiti.
Suing Romero for a doom 2 map supporting Ukraine is not a PR move any sane company would do.
> No self-respecting teacher really wants to teach a class of "struggling, low-achieving" students.

That doesn't ring true to me. Why wouldn't a good teacher take pride in taking kids below the curve up to Average? I would wager that this probably has a better net impact than pushing the elite kids that much further.

Ok, lets say I give you both. People killed in [1]: around 2,000, and a bloody war ended. No countries were anexed by NATO members. No puppet states were created.

People killed in [2]: 0. Mistake recognized, turkish missiles removed, Cuba never invaded.

It doesn't sound like a terrifying force that keeps anexating countries and setting puppets or war lords. NATO is terrifying if you plan to go hunting small countries without nuclear weapons.

I just tried a few queries related to rust and it's library rocket.
I got only useless results on the first page and didn't check further.

I'm guessing that's because it doesn't index docs.rs and the rust forum.
Both incredibly important for Rust development.

So as long as this engine doesn't also index most programming related forums, I won't be able to use it effectively, even though I really would like to.

The concept of limiting the scope to just a few websites sounds really interesting, though.
I think I will take this idea and build a little thing on top of google to implement that site filtering on my queries.
