You might be in luck here! In the US, patents last for only 20 years. Since, the Game Boy was released in 1989, any patents are long since expired.

Using the Nintendo logo might (NB: Not a Lawyer!) be permissible if it's required for software to run on the hardware. This was a big part of the Sega v. Accolade case.[1]

There are still new games being released on cartridge for the original Game Boy. The most recent I'm aware of is Ruby & Rusty last year.[2]

I am not sure this is 100 percent but the Internet says you can upgrade to the paid tier and they won't evict you. You can use the same always free resources. In terms of unexpected fees, if you open a free tier account, let the free trial expire, basically whatever you can then do will also be free when you upgrade.

> Not necessarily, since it’d just be a matter of popularizing Vim + the community’s preferred shortcuts as a starter instead.

There isn't that many software dev tools were a small variation in key bindings (or some similar small change) became ubiquious and propelled the popularity by adapting it to the local needs of American developers/IT (keyboard layout in this case), it's a chicken and egg problem because if Vim wasn't that popular there wouldn't be much interest in creation preferred shortcuts, so I conclude that what you suggested is not what would have happened.

The intention is to present dates the way they often are found in that country (not just the "gold standard"). From my understanding Canadians often encounter dates in all three formats you noted (although often using named months to avoid ambiguity).

All three date formats are used in Weekle when set to Canadian mode, and fully numeric d/m/y or m/d/y dates are only used if the date is >12 to avoid ambiguity.
Version numbers and how they’re used have been around long before someone decided to make a webpage about them and claim some sort of paradigm shift.
Stop working for outsourcing companies as a software engineer
I've been designing semiconductor chips for 25 years in the US. For the last 20 years all the companies I have worked at have been fabless. We send the mask data to TSMC or Samsung to manufacture.

I sit in front of a computer at a desk all day and get to work from home 3 days a week. We get plenty of new grad design engineers from college.

But do young people want to work in manufacturing plants being on call when the production line goes down? There are thousands of technician jobs that are more 2 year associate degree types needed as well.

I've also seen stories that because of the small number of fabs it is difficult to switch jobs because there are not many options. This pushes down salaries as well. In contrast to design where there are hundreds of companies which you can leave and go to and get significant salary increases.

As with most jobs, more pay and better working conditions will attract more people.

Building a Signal Analyzer with Modern Web Tech
We‘re using a FIDO2 security key as a passkey. Corporate policies force our users to also password-protect these.

So whenever people authenticate using a FIDO2 key as their passkey, they also need to enter its password.

The benefit of passkeys are:

- the Webapps only store a specific public key instead of a hashed password

- a direct connection is necessary for the challenge/response flow so that phishing attacks or MITM are impossible (AFAIK)
The fact FAANG jobs pay better means the supply/demand ratio for talent that can do semiconductor jobs is higher than for talent that can do FAANG job.

GP is right, so rationally everyone who could - would rather live in Mountain View and work a FAANG job than live in some factory town in the Arizona desert.

Apparently there just aren't enough such people, so FAANG will keep paying more and those who can't get these jobs will have to take the worse paying position that requires harder work, more dependency on a single employer, under far worse working and living conditions.

I really just have one idea I want to explore, which is this idea around sharing state between the kernel and userland via subscriptions and patches. (By taking some ideas from event sourcing and things like that). I guess I'm trying to figure out where I would even start prototyping something like that. I guess I could just fork axle and hack on it a bit to see how it goes?

You don't understand why a story about a bad thing that happened, misrepresenting the information as positive, is a negative story? Reality doesn't have a take. You don't need to feel positive or negative about a fact. It just is - the states in the article defunded public schools and worsened education.

Or do you think it's a coincidence that when they give examples of improved scores, they only give them for newly opened private schools. Wouldn't the average or median reading level for the state, compared to the old level for the state, be the metric that shows.. reading level for the state? When they do give a number for the state, that number is not a score - it's a rank. Do you know how rank works? It's not a measure of how good you're doing compared to how you were doing before. It's a measure of how good you're doing now compared to someone else now.

Yes, looking at a very basic fact and recognizing someone completely misrepresented that fact, makes them feel comparatively smarter than the person who does not recognize that even after it was explained to them. Now your comment - it did not make me smarter. It did increased my rank on that chart though.

Same here. Got my start on Ubuntu, always loved Ubuntu, but they lost me to Debian because of snaps.

My reasons are different from yours: I can tolerate UI issues, polluting the mount list is far worse, but the dealbreaker is that the user is not allowed to disable automatic updates on snaps, the option merely delays updates for a maximum of 30 days. I simply cannot accept someone patching my OS against my will, what is this, Windows? And since Ubuntu went all in on snap, more and more system apps are snaps, so it's not as simple as removing snapd, I see what's coming on the horizon.

The snap developers arrogantly tell you you're wrong for wanting to disable automatic updates, and they will not make it optional like it is for apt. This is despite the snap store being a far less tested/reviewed repo than the apt repo. So any rando can upload a snap package, you can install it after approving it, then said rando can push a malicious update, and it will be immediately deployed to my PC against my will.

"Use another distro if you don't like it?" OK, that's what I did. But I would still be a Ubuntu user if the snap devs weren't so smug and antagonistic.

Love, Tolerate, Hate: My Personal Take on Various Services.
People talk about willpower but they ignore social influences like children learning habits from their parents or simply being forced by their parents to become obese (all it takes is a portion size that is slightly too big and demanding that you eat the full plate). No amount of willpower is going to end that unless you want to blame children for not running away from home.
Yeah, I know how it works in linux. I just hate it. Polling and writing a parser for a pseudo-file always seems like a super roundabout, inefficient, brittle way to send information from kernel to userspace.

Think about it - the kernel stores some data in a nice, neat struct. And the kernel knows exactly when that struct is modified. Userspace wants that data, and wants to know when the data changes. So every second, userspace "reads" a pseudo file. The kernel packs the struct's contents into a big string with some sloppy, hand written text format and passes it to userspace. Then in userspace you need to write a brittle parser for whatever the kernel gives you, knowing that in different versions of the kernel you'll get slightly differently formatted strings.

When the data changes in the kernel, the application has no way of being notified. It just polls and parses in a loop. Its both inefficient (when there are no changes, its all wasted effort). And its laggy (when changes happen, it'll take your application up to the polling interval to find out about the changes).

For things like filesystem watching, there are special APIs applications can consume. But those APIs are different for every kind of data the kernel manages. Devices, mount points, USB connectivity, filesystem watching, CPU usage, thermal sensors, open network connections and on and on. All of this stuff has totally different kernel-level APIs for "watching" changes. (If you're lucky - a lot of it can only be polled). Its a big fat mess. I want to try replacing all of that with a nice clean API for fetching & subscribing to any kind of data. So, the kernel has a standard API for fetching (maybe it returns JSON). And a standard API for subscribing to changes - such that your application is notified when a change occurs, and the change is sent in a standard, easily digestible patch format.

And ideally, eventually, I'd like applications to be able to share their own changes back with the kernel in the same form & format. And maybe, share data objects between applications like that - with the kernel acting as a broker for sending patches back and forth, and syncing them with the filesystem. I think that would be really neat and useful for all sorts of applications.

But I want to prototype it all first in something thats not linux. I'm just not sure where to start. I don't really want to write an OS from scratch just to try out this generic state passing idea.
> chat with her for $1 a day/week

The article linked at the bottom of the page is even crazier. People are paying a dollar per minute to talk to a bot! Not per week or per day. Per minute!

And get this, the influencer that the bot was made from says that she wants to “help lonely people”. 15,000 people have signed up already. And they are paying her to talk with a bot. That’s not helping people, that’s preying on lonely people and taking their money :(
Also note that the prior work they repeatedly cite (no less than 5 times in as many paragraphs, and indirectly referenced several times in relation to the 20+ "sociotechnical factors"), i.e. reference number (9), is based on "semi-structured interviews with 21 developers". While a lot of the observations and recommendations are correct (and are obvious to any seasoned engineering manager), this seems like an academic exercise in picking three somewhat disparate aspects of development and trying to fit them into a geometric shape (an equilateral triangle) and then calling it a framework.

> When MacArthur tried to get rid of the use of Chinese characters in Japanese writing during the post-WW2 occupation, he backed off when it was embarrassingly pointed out that Japan had a higher literacy rate than the US, despite having less of an investment in state schools at the time.

I’m not sure this can be solely attributed to the difference between character sets.

> The reason for this is that nobody except little children actually read by sounding out individual letters of words. That would be too much for the human mind to process in real time.

This sounds a lot like the theory that justified getting rid of phonics in schools, which has been an unmitigated disaster. It’s also not true when you consider how adult readers approach new words; English in particular isn’t great at this but there’s at least a hope that you’ll know how to pronounce a word you see written down, which approaches certainty in other alphabetic languages. This is useful for cross-referencing between spoken and written language.

> (Did you read that OK?)

Most English readers can mentally correct transposed letters, which is yet more evidence of the resiliency of alphabetic writing.

> But given that in this age most of our communication is through text which may never even be read aloud, it does make one wonder if the Chinese had the right idea all along.

I very much doubt that this is true. It might be true (or seem true) in the weird bubble you and I live in, but it’s not true for the majority of people.

It was in 2016 so I mercifully forgot the details, it's a set of standards for data archival and document classification. There are some compliances rules for security in the mix (people should require proper authorisations to access documents, etc).

At some point some lawmakers (under the influence of some company such as Cap Gemini or Atos) passed a law to force notaries to use only software with that particular stamp.

The problem is that it's typically the sort of standard that should be applied to a particular organisation and workflow, through an auditing process, instead of a global, upfront stamp that is really a way to do gatekeeping, not actually enforcing data safety and security.

Search on Twitter, the artists in the Adobe dataset are also livid (justifiably) because they didn't consent to their work being used for AI training.

My teenager proposed the idea of spirituality in animals to me just the other day. It never occurred to me to even consider the thought. All the time, we find there is less and less human exceptionalism. I'm more and more convinced that we need to find evidence that animals are explicitly non-human in a given aspect as opposed to the alternative.

We've gone from believing physical is pain not experienced by animals to realizing that rats mourn the loss of a mate. Why do we think only humans can have spiritual experiences?

My proposed experiment: scan animals for delta brain waves. We see those in humans during meditation and can apparently force delta waves whereby patients report spiritual feelings.
