You don’t know why people prefer hitting a button that says “YouTube” vs. setting up a raspberry pi?
Someone really needs to make the Sonarr equivalent for YouTube (or maybe it already exists) where you plug in your list of subscriptions and it just automatically downloads them and adds them to Plex/Jellyfin. Sidestep this bullshit entirely.

YouTube is a lot like reddit in that, if you're curating your subscriptions, there's a lot of good and worthwhile stuff to be found, but if you're just taking the default stuff that the site pushes to you, you're going to be mired in absolute garbage non-stop.

Seriously. Nintendo has put quality games out like clockwork for decades now to the point where the biggest IP is almost instantly given top rating from everyone any time it's released, no matter how many glaring technical flaws exist.

It's kind of nauseating, but impressive nonetheless. I can understand why - their games are fun, colorful, and (for the most part) very family friendly.

All that said I wish Nintendo would dive back into some of the more underutilized IP, such as making a new first-person Metroid game, or a new Star Fox or F-Zero game. All 3 would have a lot of replay value if a proper multiplayer element was added. Yet Nintendo can straight up ignore multiplayer for the most part and still sell well, so what do I know?
I've never been able to produce consistent results with these DIY home roasting methods. We only attempted it because someone was gifting us green coffee beans. Overall it seems like more trouble than it is worth, even with free beans.

If tests are to qualify class completion, why do people care about good grades, and why aren't they graded to pass/fail.

Tests have different reasons, good and bad. Feedback for teachers, students and parents. Discipline. To force/encourage students to study. To report to school boards.

Tests are often a trap because people grab onto objective measures, no matter how flawed. It's like a measurable goal or performance criteria in business. People quickly forget that the KPI is not what the business is producing.
I ordered the standard and just before launch they optioned a collectors edition. I ordered that at two spots in the off chance it didn't come. So now I'm sitting with three copies. I know a few people in this boat. Still bodes well for the number of copies moved.
Indeed, but "game-changing" would be something like a 50% or 90% efficiency increase. The game has not changed with a 10% change.
They even somehow managed to simplify the UI vs BOTW and made it genuinely easier to use.
No. Both republicans and democrats are heavily invested in the US stock market which would collapse if US defaults.

It's all a show.
It sounds small, but unfortunately is vague on what exactly it's capable of --- e.g. "file system", if https://github.com/yhzhang0128/egos-2000/blob/main/library/f... is the file that contains it, is more than the 339 lines that were advertised, and appears to be missing the code to process paths. (I was expecting FAT32 or similar, which is definitely doable in that size.)

Also, 2kloc is what I expect to be in a few files at most, not a dozen spread out over (nested!) subdirectories --- that makes it feel much bigger than it really is.
Yes, but the recess is also part of the design. My criticism is of the thing as a whole.

Frankly, an actual extension cable would be much more useful.

It's also advertised as if the extended port is the only viable option. It's explicitly recommended to get one for a charging port! Does the charger really not fit in the recessed port?

Again, this is all for a laptop that's explicitly advertised as minimizing e-waste.

You seem to be correct, I have read contradictory information. At the same time, if all of Microsoft's might is standing behind .NET, can mono be a full alternative?

Edit: at the very least, Godot (game engine) has moved from Mono to .NET.
I think the critique is that not that they should have left the thing broken, but that a limited team should limit the work to match the team size so that they do not release broken things in the first place.
Because programming is meta-applicable, competent practitioners will respond to being given the same task over and over by automating it, which isn't a thing if the whole point of what you do is that a human did it manually.

Princess Nell's observation about the nature of the Dovetail community in the novel Diamond Age applies: this is all very well, but it makes no actual sense without the context of the rest of society, on its own this practice is not tenable.

Sure, but nobody will remember someone said that seven years before. They might be hiring by that point, too.
>No, this is a sales tactic to improve customer retention.

This is one of Jonathan Haidt’s points about what has led to many of the problems at universities. When the “students” are treated as “customers” it causes universities to work against their stated missions in order to placate their customer base.
I do agree about a lot of the (IMO) backward steps being Apple's fault, and I support legislation on some things - a common charging plug is good (don't care what it is, USB-C is OK) and a common replaceable battery standard would be nice too.

The headphone jack... Turns out people didn't care, or Sony phones would be a lot more popular than they are (I like them, I accept I'm not normal.)

Framework is a niche outlier, but Dell isn't and you can get service manuals and spares easily for all their business laptops. Maybe people just don't know that? (Don't touch the consumer lines, obviously - and I include XPS in that.)

This reminds me ...

There was a video ad many many years ago (2004 or older) that showed a future with strict authentication and access controls ... where employee has to "submit a DNA sample to continue" when they log into a workstation.

The ad shows a bald man first running his hand over a completely bald head deviod of any hair, then opening a couple of buttons of his shirt only to find his chest is also completely hairless (presumably already used for previous logins) then he finally sighs and starts to unzip ... ad cuts to black.

I have never been able to locate this again nor recollect what product / service / brand the ad was for. It was probably some cybersecurity or consulting firm.

Anyone here remembers?
That's very clearly an issue of scale.

>Sorry if this is off-topic but I often see in HN (either in articles posted here, or in the comments) lack of empathy.

You are absolutely correct. This place is populated with quite a few nerds. Nerds typically have subpar social skills, which is is both fueled by and results in a lack of empathy.

>"I ♥ people; look for ways to make them happy, and empower them."

The propaganda arm of the Soviets is called "Pravda", which means "truth". It's like people who say "I'm such a nice guy", "I'm very humble", or this author saying "I love people and my friend" but then they talk shit about their friend in this very article.

Listen not to what someone says, observe what they do. "Actions speak louder than words" and all that.
The only potentially bad UX is attaching things to arrows or choosing what item to throw. Using the sorting options helps, but you still end up doing a lot of scrolling through a list during combat which takes you out of fun of combat.

They might've gone with a grid display, but with the amount of items they have, they're inevitably going to have some UI sprawl, so it's a hard problem.
A rather unsophisticated opinion.

Is it? It plays like a clone of the first game without a lot of meaningful improvements over the criticisms of the first. Weapons still break, the story still sucks, the dungeons aren't dungeons... It plays more like Minecraft.

I grew up on SNES and N64 Zelda, so admittedly I'm biased towards the old gameplay loop and mechanics.
Lovely article -- very original.

I'll add some anecdata, to give more context on why "atmosphere at all costs" might be en vogue.

- Most software engineering is CRUD

- Almost all 3rd generation, higher level languages can achieve CRUD (e.g. Javascript, C#, Java, Python, Ruby, PHP, Python, Perl -- even Bash)

- Most engineers will not have to dig around in the internals of a language to be able to do their jobs (e.g. that you can fine-tune and pick your own garbage collector (or even disable it completely), depending on the domain in Java (such as low-latency environments); whereas in .NET, you cannot really tune, swap out, or turn off the GC completely)

- Without needing to know the internals of a language, all the aforementioned languages are largely interchangeable (again, for CRUD -- and based on taste)

This is why you may commonly see people recommending that even if you don't know a language, you should be able to pick up whatever language a potential engagement requires (see: "a senior should be able to pick up frameworks and languages within a week or two"). I've always disliked this way of seeing the world. It rubs me in a certain grating way: that most work is CRUD, so you should optimize your career for being an interchangeable COG.

In my experience, if you take the time to learn a single language or ecosystem thoroughly, your chances of finding work for that specific ecosystem greatly increase -- versus the "generalist." Likewise, you'll be able to tell when it's the tool that's messing up, or yourself. Further, you'll be able to find more interesting, "deeper" work to handle -- rather than just building another CRUD web app. And lastly, life is too short to work with stuff you don't like.

For example, I love the .NET ecosystem. If I want to build something that isn't in the HPC space, I'll reach for it first. I know Java, but I don't like Java -- and I do not ever want to work with it. My ability to land .NET work is much easier, because I know the ecosystem -- not just how to program in an OOP language.

Or how about databases? I love Postgres. If I want a great OLTP DB, without any fuss, I'll reach for it first. I know MySQL/Mongo/SQL Server (to be fair, this one is also really good)/etc., but I don't like most of them. My ability to land work that utilizes Postgres is much easier, because I've taken the time to thoroughly understand it.

Or in other words, most people in the game are optimizing for commerce: how much money they make.

The hackers? They're in lower-level, systems programming languages; they're in compiler and language design; they're in low-latency or kernel programming; they're in stuff that isn't directly related to making money. Part of the reason I'm learning C++ is because the work there is more interesting (database engineering is very fun, but you need C++ or C in some cases) -- and the people more passionate. But also, because the gravy train is starting to dry up in CRUD -- anyone who can program can do it.
Turning a blind eye to companies violating the law because they’re giving you money is corrupt.

It looks fantastic for the compute budget
maybe its because the article yesterday, 80% of jobs are gotten through networking, and if the rest are from leetcode interviews.. you kind of have decided to select against diversity.
Or maybe consider this is a somewhat necessary evil for the service provided (free HD streaming of infinite amounts of video that also rewards creators in the most sustainable fashion for any social media platform). Bandwidth, storage and monetization isn’t free. What exactly do you want? A service that will spend their money to deliver arbitrary HD video on demand and lose money?

YouTube premium exists, costs less than Netflix and provides infinitely more value for the money at this point. Every single person I nonconsensually forced YouTube premium on has come back to thank me for doing so. The last time people were happy i techno-assaulted them was when I introduced them all to Dropbox a decade back.
So if people are doing shitty thing it makes it ok to do it yourself as well?
Nope. :(

You can try something like CoreDNS or maybe Acrylic DNS Proxy which is a small local proxy that adds wildcard and even regexp support: https://mayakron.altervista.org/support/acrylic/Home.htm
I think the general consensus will end up giving this game a solid 8.5/10 (user consensus of course, not journali$t consensus. You can already see that in the user score on metascore.)

Someone mentioned online "which part of this game constitues giving it a 10/10?" and I totally agree having been playing since the leaks. This is coming from an OG OOT 1998 player too. Happy Zelda is back, but still think they could have done more with this one or at least innovate more.

Worst is the Switch hardware making this unplayable until emulation catches up. How on earth did a game that looks and runs like how TOTK not get dinged EVEN A TINY BIT for graphics and performance? I'm not a graphics whore by any means, but there's a limit here.
Unfortunately those also don't have a great reputation either.
It’s capped at 30 and regularly drops to 20. Terrible indeed.
This is not my experience at all. I have noticed some FPS drops when using the 'ultrahand' to move many objects around, but other than that I've been pretty impressed with the performance.

It still blows my mind that I can walk for what seems like hours from one end of the map to the other while the weather and environment changes drastically and not experience any loading screens.
I think something like clip but that works for videos and transcriptions is where things start to get scary.

At that point you would have a world model with physics and dynamics involved. As well as human expression and reaction.
Around 2026, look for massive hiring as these large scale AI Automation projects colossally fail. It is quite simple: the AI surface is moving to fast for large scale automation because the "must have latest candy" executives will not be satisfied with a solution using the SOTA when they started the project because by the time that project is up and operating the SOTA will be a milestone ahead - so the executives will insist/demand on an update. Rinse and repeat, the project will never complete before expectations and financing die for the vast majority of these AI ambitions.

I think it proves that nostalgia and brands matter more than anything. I find it very hard to find much novelty in the art direction, the world seems empty, not unrelated to the technical limitations, and the gameplay seems just okay.

Just like the Mario movie I think it's less of an artistic feat and just shows the sheer power of Nintendo's franchises and very, very, enthusiastic fandom.
If you can afford it, YouTube Premium is well worth it. It's high up on my list of time and annoyance saved vs $ spent.

I think MS might have been losing money throughout the lifecycle of the device. I'm pretty sure that was true for at least one of their console generations.

Sony has always made money on a per console basis after the first year or years. The PS3, I believe, was exceptional in how long it took Sony to start making money off the device, which might have been largely due to the high cost of including the Blu Ray player.

It’s going to be funny to see if the rest of the world adapts to the stupid amount of ads beeing shown on american TV, now that youtube seems to embrace that road (.)

My guess is they won’t, and youtube will collapse. But it may take some time..

(.) I vividly remember my first attempt at watching a movie on public tv in the US, 20 years ago. The movie was cut because there was so many ads that the total length of the movie would have occupied the whole afternoon. so they simply removed random scenes, and as a result, the story didn’t make any sense at all.
Is "poor" the right description for the graphics?

Like I get that they aren't anywhere close to as detailed or sophisticated as the graphics available in other games, but they appear to facilitate gameplay quite well.

Like "poor" has a connotation of "bad", where in this game they just weren't a focus and clearly are good enough to not be distracting, at least in the videos I've seen.
It’s an incredible achievement. Nintendo 1st party games have crazy attach rates, way more than the other consoles.

Mario Kart 8 has sold over 50 million copies for example.
It's good that you find joy in having children but others do not and find it stressful. Some folks might find joy in having pets but others do not.

In the early 1990s SUVs had more risk than cars for a while due to rollover risk, but today SUVs are safer for it's own occupants than cars on average.

As for other people on the road, yes the added mass is dangerous. But the Rimac is SUV heavy too.
This is an inconvenient truth!!!
For what it's worth, I hate being the problem with no solutions person. I don't think it's particularly useful and when I can think of potential solutions I will push for them at my own expense. Though honestly, those expenses are typically short lived and turn into benefits in the long term.

This problem however seems different from other problems. I don't see a solution and fear the target of legislation is inadequate and misplaced. Though I don't know where it should go either.

Edit: I believe what will happen is that legislation will focus on empowering powerful people and disempowering poor people. Which based on the article will be stated to be for the benefit of marginalized groups while only benefiting members of said groups when they are already in positions of power. As is normally the case.

And what about Russia? What can we do to stop them from using AI maliciously? Not to suggest they will, it's just the commonly stated villain.

Even a solution of first arrival doesn't inspire confidence. As any sufficient system is likely to escape and render us as we have rendered cows.

Edit: I propose many solutions for climate change that are more severe than most people will accept. Things like incredibly expensive garbage collection (because I can get by with zero garbage and so can everyone else) and taxes on new item purchases(scaling exponentially for wants instead of needs) with incentives for products to become more focused on longevity. And many others.
A while back I noticed that .biz specifically has its own checkbox in the o365 spam controls. And sure enough I don't think I've ever done legitimate business on a .biz. I wonder what the heck happened to it.

Because router vendors need some kind of "secret sauce" in order to keep selling routers, otherwise the whole thing becomes a commodity you can buy from anywhere. This is also why OpenWRT is unable to utilize all the features on a lot of routers: The closed source firmware and software pieces needed to do so have yet to be deciphered.

This was teased in Meta's recent quarterly report [1]:

"On April 13, 2023, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) issued a decision and we expect the IDPC to issue a final decision in this inquiry in May 2023. It is expected that in addition to the transfer suspension order, the IDPC will make an order requiring Meta Platforms Ireland to bring its relevant processing operations into compliance with the GDPR and imposing a fine. We continue to examine the decision and its potential impact on our operations. We expect that the deadlines to comply with the IDPC decision will be no earlier than the fourth quarter of 2023."

In short:

.NET multiplatform itself is open source as I'm sure you've seen here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/introduction

A few specific DLLs like Visual C++ redistributables are not open source, but they are separately licensed for redistribution. VS Pro is not needed.

Hope this helps!

It could be an aspect of undiagnosed or unmedicated ADHD. ADHA applies more broadly than just states of focus and includes social conditions that when the ADHD is advanced can mimic behaviors commonly thought of autistic. One of those impaired social behaviors can include empathy development. Please note this does not apply to most cases of ADHD and seems to apply in cases that are more pronounced.

One key indicator of whether impaired empathy is the result of ADHD is that everything tends to be communicated as either starting from or directly referring to the person forming the communication almost as if narcissistic, but not necessarily with a selfishness intent.
