It's not so weird. My understanding is that genes migrating across chromosomes (translocation) isn't that common. So, to a first approximation, genes are inherited as 46 indivisible units. Every generation, a given chromosome has a 50/50 chance of getting dropped. You have exactly 23 chromosomes from your mother, an expected value of 11.5 chromosomes from your maternal grandmother, expected 5.75 chromosomes from her mother... another 3 generations back and you've got less than a 50% probability of getting any chromosomes from that particular relative.

> I think the emulator developers really do need to consider actually doing something to combat piracy in the long-term, or Nintendo may actually be successful banning it.

Emulator developers already scrupulously avoid providing any copyrighted game files or even purely functional firmware. On their forums and comment sections, they prohibit asking for or providing links to copyrighted content. For current systems like the Switch, they provide step‐by‐step instructions for how to dump personal copies of legitimately licensed software.

What “something” do you suggest they do? Because Nintendo has openly stated in their copyright FAQs for decades that they consider even creating one’s own personal backups to be unauthorized and illegitimate use of their exclusive intellectual property.

The reality is, there is no step they could take that would make Nintendo happy. Instead, emulator developers do the next best thing (rather, the better thing): keep their actions generally within the confines of current law.
It’s been a century since that period of Ford, where are those high-paying U.S. factory jobs now?

Greenwashing fads come and go, it’s all built on dumb technicalities. Try navigating your way through “cage free” vs “pasture raised” vs “certified humane” and thinking about what negative externalities those actually mitigate, how they’re enforced, what that amounts to in the grand scheme of things. Restaurant and fast food and your average grocer/shopper are still picking the cheapest Tyson cut. “Organic grass fed” milk is still drawn from the exhausted teat of 24/7 artificially inseminated veal-factories. It’s all marketing campaigns built on dumb technicalities.

Apps can't just send notifications? If I had a mail client installed, couldn't the app just periodically connect to my mail server using my internet connection, see new mail was available, and then pop up a notification so I'd know?

That seems much more secure than having a third party collecting my passwords so they can connect to my mail server from their network using my password just to see if any new mail is there, read the messages, then send a notification to my phone to let me know about them.

I'm perfectly happy to trust Thunderbird enough to configure it to check my mailbox, but I wouldn't feel as comfortable handing my login information directly to Mozilla so that they can log into my mailbox whenever they feel like it. I guess Mozilla could push an update that collects my stored login credentials and do that anyway, but if they did I think there would be a lot of folks who'd protest.
Sociopath Test – [Self-Test] for Antisocial Personality Disorder
My result for this sociopath test

You scored 60/102.

Your score indicates low likelihood of having ASPD.

Your score indicates a 63% chance of having Antisocial Personality Disorder.

No concerning symptoms were found.
Starlink will do everything you want. Older satellite services relying on geosynchronous satellites will not; they have very limited bandwidth and very high latencies.
Kids are like puppies, in that they will start following any pair of feet they see, since they don't have a frame of reference. You could argue that giving them a good frame of reference is the most important job of a parent.
Your raise valid points.

But I think they only apply in contexts where people realize cheating is going on (Patrascu was an outlier claiming it publicly, but he was an outlier in many things) and also your grading is done on a relative scale (which I think is much worde than an absolute one, where one's better grade doesn't imply another person's lower grade).

> Patrascu may have been a brilliant researcher, but was he as brilliant as the person who didn't make the cut because he made the cut instead?

I would love it if he were among us to give on of his characteristically snarky answers :D [1]

He would probably have said something along the lines of "not as brilliant, more brilliant; which the fact that the other poor chap who wasn't capable of cheating clearly shows".

Statically typing your parameters prevents a lot of instances of passing them in in the wrong order. And if you make a habit of using a single statically typed options parameter instead of multiple parameters that have the same type, you can make passing parameters in the wrong order completely impossible in your codebase.

A Brief BitKnit Retrospective
Between chrome, firefox and safari, I choose safari every time, because navigation is soooo much nicer, I can very easily switch between tabs in safari compared to literally every other browser. flipping back and forth between two tabs in safari is the same as swiping to another app, which in all the other browsers you need to open the tab menu and find the other tab
Reposting from a thread down below, but how are you drawing this conclusion? I've never really understood the close tie between emulation and piracy.

With the exception of the new switch emulators, most emulators are emulating gaming experiences that existed decade(s) ago. I don't know a single person who would download a gamecube emulator to pirate a game they've never played before, people use emulators to re-experience the games they played(and owned) a long time ago.

Aside from WorkAudioBook I consider this the greatest language learning tool to exist.

I watch Breaking Bad dubbed in Spanish, subs don't match, and paused to try to guess what they were saying every sentence and did tons of look ups. This took 600 hours. Yes about ten hours per episode. By the end I was ready to find a 100% MONOLINGUAL teacher and communicate with her through the whole of every class (incredible feeling btw) to learn things formally. Learning becomes incredibly exciting and productive when you're ready to go full monolingual with it.

((Was I a false beginner? No. I wasn't primed in school, I had about 1 month Spanish in 9th grade before being forcibly expelled from the class with an F. I was definitely racist against the language age 13-17. I found the teacher playing and making us sing Macarena especially distasteful and that was part of what made me hateful.))
MemoryDB has a single node (primary node) strong consistency.

MemoryDB seems to have a very similar architecture to that of AWS Aurora, which separates a storage layer and compute nodes and consistency is implemented not by communicating between compute nodes but by offering a consistent distributed storage layer. This architecture usually don't have a multi-node strong consistency by itself and can have replicas.

This means that in MemoryDB only the primary node is strongly consistent but the replica nodes don't.

Instead, in my experience, those kinds of AWS offerings have less operational headaches because the storage remains safe even the primary node fails and you don't need to worry about managing distributed nodes.

Edit: add pros
I remember reading in another thread about Tesler’s law, which says that in software you can neither create nor destroy complexity, you can only move where it exists. Costs in society are similar.

The days of the traditional corporation, i.e. an organization that has shareholders, management, and employees made sense in the period of 1600 to 1950, but since then the world has gotten smaller. Our ability to shift costs (externalities) onto our planet has been curtailed by the fact that we’ve gone from a population of millions to billions. When you try to grow wealth by extracting stuff, sometime, someone, somewhere is going to feel it and will pay for it without any benefits to them.

Regulation, has been shoehorned in as a solution. But it operates as a bandaid that no one has been happy with. Every regulation simultaneously goes too far and doesn’t go far enough. It shifts decision making power from one institution to another, (business to government) and depends on an army of bureaucrats, to implement.

The fundamental solution is simple, make corporations pay for the externalities they create. This would be done at the point of purchase and would not grow the size of government because taxation systems that do this already exist. The implementation of this idea though is inconsistent and politically perilous because of path dependence. No one wants to pay for something they got for free before. For example, Citizens Climate Lobby has been campaigning for years for a Carbon Price and despite a lobbying effort from over 200,000 volunteers the US has yet to see a carbon price implemented. To do political lobbying for every externality like this would be a Sisyphean task.

My solution, high concept, would be to make a society like Star Trek. We need to make a techno utopia, paired with social progress to sustain it. Although you can’t have Star Trek without warp drive, warp drive doesn’t make Star Trek, humanity had also evolved socially on the show. We will not travel faster than light, our warp drive will be computers. One of the keys to my approach is to have better models, models of climate, models of toxicity, models of the economy, models of human behavior, etc. That will let us have predictive capabilities to test ideas before they have consequences and model where costs are borne and bill the beneficiaries. The raw TFLOPs of our hardware will not give us this, rather human ingenuity and skepticism will. To achieve that will require giving people license to question and develop. This means giving teachers autonomy, instituting universal basic income, and creating public spaces.

Desktop mail clients do. Phone mail clients can’t, so you either check on a server, or don’t get notifications on time.

My understanding of MemoryDB is that it basically replaces the AOF with a distributed log (it might be Kafka/kinesis, but it could just be backed by the same data layer as aurora). The biggest win there is that acknowledged writes are not lost if the writer node dies. A reader can replay the log and get fully caught up as it is promoted during a failover.

This comes at a cost though and writes are slower than traditional redis.
Have you seen how lawyers bill for their time?
Plenty of people play games through emulation that they didn't play when they were new. I certainly have done so. Whether that's something you've seen played by someone else, a famous classic you missed out on, or something you've played the later entries of and want to go back to.

The appeal of, for example, Nintendo's paid-for emulation services goes well beyond just stuff you personally played before, and the same applies to downloading roms.

Of course, even taking the nostalgia market alone, I don't know that having owned a game once creates a permanent right to play it free going forward, even in just a moral sense. How many of those people who had previously "experienced" a game sold their copies, or never owned one in the first place?

This is well into delusions of grandeur territory. “Engineers” are normal people. “Engineers” do all the same stuff that everyone else does.

This subject matter expertise will bring varying degrees of value depending on the situation.
I hate this self-congratulatory take that people that write software are godly and unbreakably objective. Software people are just so typically introverted and insular that we have our own social signals that can just as easily be weaponised to have us buy stuff.

Because it is historical, the nitro users aren't paying to skip the line - they couldn't have, it was in the past before this was announced. Instead, they are saying "you were already paying for a feature involving the discriminator, which we're removing, so you are getting priority". Frankly, that is one of the very few things about this they are doing right.
