You were born with a damaged brain. I'm very sorry, I was too. It sucks. If World War III starts tomorrow, you're right, I'm going to have problems. But a lot of people are going to have very many problems in that case. But World war III isn't going to start tomorrow, and catastrophizing about it doesn't help matters. It's not going to, but let's say it did, there's still all of the already manufactured drug sitting in factory, sitting in semi-trucks and cargo containers on ships and on pharmacy shelves. The enemy (whomever this theoretical enemy is) isn't going to target Adderall factories and semi-trucks with their guided missiles, and even if they did, you've still got the rest of this month's supply, so it's still not instantly a problem.

We've got the mental equivalent of a person born missing their legs, so we need a wheelchair for the mind. With mind wheelchairs to make up for our missing executive function and other deficits, we can even sometimes outperform neurotypicals, but without it we're crawling on the ground with no legs. But having the wheelchair to use is so much better than crawling around on the ground.

Now that we've found this wheelchair that enables me to have a job and a life that I actually want, I'm not going to throw it away just because someone could come along and steal it. That's mental!

It's a lie that people with adhd are fine outside of our fast paced world. Can you imagine being a farmer with no executive function? How are you going plan ahead to grow crops so you don't starve over the winter. Can you imagine trying to plan a woolly mammoth hunt? Just how do you plan on killing the thing without executive function? Our brains would just be Step 1. Find woolly mammoth. Step 6. Eat woolly mammoth meat. You don't get to step 6 without figuring out the missing steps!

We're not the only ones in this boat, and it sucks to be disabled, but we don't have the technology to fix our brains, so we just have to accept it. Just like those with hypertension have to live with needing heart medication, or diabetics need insulin, or rheumatoid arthritis sufferers need their DMARDs, or AIDs patients need their ARTs, or epileptics need their anti-seizure medication, or hypothyroidism sufferers need their synthetic thyroid medication.

Hell, if gasoline magically disappeared, society would be fucked. Not sure if anyone is prepared for that circumstance. Because it's ludicrous. The world's gasoline won't magically disappear in an instant. Stop watching so many movies.
I presume it's a 6th gen (A10).

While A10 phones stopped receiving OS updates with iOS 16, this iPad is still supported by iOS 16.

I had an iPhone 7 (same SoC) til early this year with iOS 15 and it was fine (changed because it got physically destroyed); I was never prevented to install any app even though iOS 16 was released well over 6 months before. I have a 7th gen iPad (A10) and iPad Pro 10.5 (A10X) and they both work perfectly fine with iOS 16.

In any case, even if it stopped being supported that's a far cry from that aforementioned Pixel situation where it stopped being supported _the next year_.

You mean that part ? Where it says "probably" ? Yeah, I read it. It says "probably".

> Either way I'll probably buy it on Switch because developers should be rewarded for making good games, but it's handy for me to have all of my games in one place.

> Do you act with the same rampant indignation at people who rip their dvd/blu rays to a home NAS so they can watch them without having to faff about looking for the disc?

Only those who claim they probably have the dvd/blu rays somewhere or are planning to "probably" buy them while claiming they'll watch the rip on their home NAS because it's much more convenient.
Here's an equivalent-ish problem:

Given a programming language, what's the smallest program that's an infinite loop?

Some languages are designed to never let you write infinite loops (every program halts in them), but maybe there's a mistake and they accidentally let some non-halting programs slip through.
Pokemon games are developed by Game Freak, not Nintendo's in-house studio (Nintendo EPD).
very interesting. thanks for sharing your experience!
No, that's really not the case. Facebook's reputation is not good at all here (in Europe), whereas people are shilling for Apple all the time. It's just really nice to have a messenger that is not tied to a hardware platform, and WhatsApp became popular before it was bought by Facebook.
The gatekeeper is only minding their own product and customers. I don't buy the e-waste issue. The only extra thing the lightening cable creates is the very cable itself. How much e-waste does a cable with a single type of connector create? The whole thing makes no sense to me. I certainly don't see a moral problem.

I'm not a Windows user normally, but it's the best "tablet" OS by far IMO.

You can get WSL, and honestly I would be surprised if you can't install Linux on it, but I haven't actually checked.
Pokemon-Games are not from Nintendo itself. They own shares of the franchise, but it seems they are overall not directly involved into the game-development, unlike with Zelda. And Pokemon in general has different problems regarding quality. They are more time-constrained, stressed, and seem to have some internal struggle in the last years. While Zelda seems to had the liberty to develop peacefully for years on their own.
You can never stop motivated people from dumping the memory of hardware they own and making it easier for everyone else.

Piracy can never be stopped and they waste a lot of effort trying.

They should optimize for being lower friction than privacy, like Steam.
So most of this is just making things bigger, but ignoring that for a second I'm confused about the inconsistency between the changes to Menus and Active region styling.

The changes for active region styling create a clearer connection between the selected tab and the space it's about. This seems like a very sane change. Then for the menu they explicitly remove that connection, by separating the menu from its button entirely. They also dim the background color of the menu, making it much less clearly separate from everything behind it.

Yes, who do they think they are, taking options away from grifters and swindlers from their deserved profits?

Interesting. I got to thinking why a negative fold (e.g. -1) is not used to indicate local times that do not exist due to standard time to DST transition (moving clocks forward in spring). It is in fact discussed by the PEP: https://peps.python.org/pep-0495/#strict-invalid-time-checki...

The PEP provides instructions for detecting invalid times (that work as long as you use the standard library zoneinfo database.) In short - for invalid times, the UTC offset will be different for different fold versions (1/0) but with converse order than for times that exist doubly:

# Non-existent wall time (std -> DST):
>>> print(datetime(2023, 3, 26, 1, 30, tzinfo=ZoneInfo('Europe/London'), fold=0).utcoffset())
0:00:00
>>> print(datetime(2023, 3, 26, 1, 30, tzinfo=ZoneInfo('Europe/London'), fold=1).utcoffset())
1:00:00

# Ambigious wall time (DST -> std):
>>> print(datetime(2023, 10, 29, 1, 30, tzinfo=ZoneInfo('Europe/London'), fold=0).utcoffset())
1:00:00
>>> print(datetime(2023, 10, 29, 1, 30, tzinfo=ZoneInfo('Europe/London'), fold=1).utcoffset())
0:00:00
Yeah. Especially after the popularity of the MS Office ribbon when it was first introduced in the mid-2000s - I'm surprised Microsoft didn't add it to their other products. Mainly their flagship dev IDE.

Do you think they'll get rid of GA for free, or massively reduce the minutes available in the free tier?

Advanced CI and being able to bring your own runner is a well supported option (thanks to GitLab for pioneering the way and staying a competitor this whole time), maybe at some point it will be reasonable to push that option aggressively for developers that can't afford to pay.

No, the moral is that if you’re indecisive, you can write a long-winded anecdote of it that doesn’t really go anywhere. ;)
It's not the framerate itself that bothers me, it's when the framerate drops on demanding scenes. I'd rather have a consistent 30fps than a game constantly fluctuating between 30-60. But even a consistent 30fps is kinda a dream for the Switch, there's plenty of titles where it regularly dips down to 10fps with inconsistent frame time.

Plus the other benefit to faster hardware is decreased loading times. The Switch has a lot of very long loading screens (and elaborate animations/cutscenes to mask background loading) and the PS5 with near instant loading very much increases the fun, because more time is spent playing vs waiting on a loading screen.
USB-C didn't exist in a usable ratified standard at the introduction of Lightening. 4 years is a long time in tech.

If the EU wanted a standard port for charging. I believe induction charge port would have been a better standard to work on. Think how simple an induction charging standard could be.
Making Up People / Ian Hacking (2006)
Because this hardware is for a different experience. Zelda is nice, but the style has its limits. It's kinda like asking why Disney invests hundreds of millions of Dollar into Marvel and Star Wars-Movies, when you can also make a cheaper but polished animation-movie with a fraction of that price. It's simply not the same.
You might not want to eliminate supermarkets but having one supplier like Walmart become so dominant isn't good either.
If I recall this was like eighty bucks and guaranteed to break your charging port within ten days.
I'm not sure the new formulation is correct either. It now states.

I was once chased down by some very, very enthusiastic Apple product ex-owners, with two embarrassed-looking police offers in tow, who were playing with this fun technologic toy and were quite convinced they understood what they were doing. They did not. It was a distressing experience, it really was.

I can't relate to the armchair generals saying "why didn't you just confront and accuse that family-with-children right there and then in the museum? It's your own fault for being WEAK and UNASSERTIVE". Those games are for idiots. The author comes off as an intelligent person: they patiently tested their hypothesis in multiple ways, with great skepticism, and ultimately erred on the side of uncertainty. The kind of person who would initiate a confrontation is the opposite of this.
Property tax is the one that people always forget in the US - especially when looking at places with “low” overall tax rates like Texas.
A work created this way is derivative. If it was through human mind then could be called plagiarism or tribute, but through an automatic tool ran for profit it’s a clear violation if the work was not licensed to allow derivative works.

And of course there is human intent, what are you even talking about? This is law. Law is sort of centered around human actions and intent plays a big role. In this case, operators fully intended to scrape copyrighted works, feed it to this tool and operate it for profit (because money smells good).

Always is a bit strong isn't it? Prior to the Wii their consoles tended to be similar to their contemporaries in processing power.

I certainly experienced areas in BOTW which took a heavy FPS hit and it sounds like TOTK is similar. Such an FPS drop does take me out of the game so if the console was powerful enough to avoid that then you could argue it would allow more fun games
My Pixel C is running great. I basically just use it as a netflix machine for camping/road trips/hostels. If I download offline on WiFi and then stick on airplane mode I can watch 10-12 hours on one charge even after all these years.

Considering i'd only watch 1-2 hours a day that's a week of TV per charge. I love it.
End of the day TE products are closer to toys than they are tools. I mean that in a positive way in the sense the people who buy them get excited about them and using them makes them happy but you have to build your workflow around them.

Although their "Field" range is starting to feel overpriced by their standards, Kinda think if the mixer was around $500, the recorder around $600 and the Microphone around $350 the range would be a lot more compelling, like line the pricing up so buying all 3 is closer to the price of the OP-1 Field not double the price of the OP-1 Field.

I'm sure they'll sell enough, just think aiming for that pricing would have made buying the whole set a no brainer for the TE fans.

Lots of plastic surgery is done to restore features. I think that practice does far more good than harm.

Thoughts on Swift and Objective-C (2022)
This seems worded to imply, with plausible deniability, that the Fed is taking "metal blockchain" seriously, and is integrating FedNow with it, whatever that means. But the only source is a press release by "Metal BLockchain".

"FedNow will integrate with Metal Blockchain" is a sentence in the active voice, and FedNow is the subject. So what are they doing? Where's their press release?
Every time someone mention this, I look at which days in a year I really had to use protective gear and I can count with the fingers of my hand. Most rainy days it doesn't even rain all day and you often end up lucky during your transit time with a few small drops.

And the solution is easy: a bike with full length fenders, a poncho, some gloves, possibly some change in an hermetic bag.

Also rain in summer is not an issue, sometimes it is even pleasant and refreshing.

And you probably also forget that in most motorists case, they don't all have the change to have an indoor parking both at home and at the office / place they do errands. Most need to walk from home to parking space then from parking space to office/shop...and get soaked in the process.

> and for anything over about 8TB you’re basically guaranteed some silent corruption if you read every byte

This is simply not true. I've been running bi-weekly ZFS scrubs on my file server which has grown from 80 TB to 200 TB of data over three years now with zero failed checksums. That is petabytes of reads with zero corruption. The oldest drives are nearing 5 years old (they were in a Btrfs Synology NAS before, again, zero failed checksums).

The wildly pessimistic numbers on the spec sheets are probably just there so they can deny warranty replacements by saying that some errors are in-spec.

If we were to get banned for this, we'd have been banned long ago. We literally process "questionable" content "as a service" and this use case was explicitly approved. (We do heuristics and ML-assisted background checks on unstructured OSINT data.)

with that requirement I would concur, Surface (Intel) seems to be the best bet, although last time I checked (which was a couple of years ago) full support was spotty depending on generation.

While I agree with the general sentiment of your message, there are quite a few meta-analyses on pubmed on the long-term safety and efficacy of gastric bypass surgery.

No, that's not true. You apparently glanced over it, but didn't really read it, so making a summary for others was not the best idea. The story is more about real-life limitations for tracking of stolen things with "Find My..." which gives clues enough for suspicion, but not enough for certainty, and doesn't seem to be useful when one asks police for help.

Nice page, but I couldn't infer what they are selling or presenting. Looks like it has something to do with automation and deployment.
This is not correct, but there are many people making this claim. Yuzu is arguably the most popular emulator, and only around 20% of games work well out of the box (https://yuzu-emu.org/game/). A further 30% require tweaks, or operate sub-optimally. The remaining 50% either don't run at all or offer a terrible experience. The thing to remember is that even if you pick one of the games in the "perfect" category, it's still not perfect. For example, you often have to content with hours and hours of "shader" loading. This means choppy and and strange graphical glitches. Further, drivers for various systems are not perfect, and sometimes certain features utilising, for example, the gyroscope, don't work correctly.

There is a VERY vocal minority of Linux gamers who have VERY rose coloured glasses on for anything Linux. I expect some of them to respond to this comment with some variation of "well I have never had any problems with Yuzu. It's the most amazing thing I've ever used in my whole life!!!"

> The title of this post claims that pytz is the fastest footgun in the west, by which I mean that pytz is a quite well-optimized library, and historically it has been faster than dateutil.tz

Wat. The author has no idea what a foot gun is.

Pytz is a must because using the standard library and timezone manipulations often leads to bugs. There are nuances around “naive” date times where one can easily just add a fake timezone value, not realizing that the time didn’t actually get localized to the timezone.

There are other libraries such as Arrow and Pendulum worth checking out but pytz is probably enough.
