> From what I hear, it is not well polished.

Relative to what? Emulators are inherently complex software, and yuzu more than most since it has to deal with modern concerns like GPU drivers, game updates, DLC, etc. For all that it does, it is fine, it mostly works quite well.
For what it's worth, I did this with the PS4 to play like two or three games. On the other hand, I've played 100%ed more games on the switch than any console since probably super Nintendo or N64. It's had such an amazing run. I do wish they'd release more games though. I played all the donkey Kong country games, super Metroid, and super Mario on the emulator and it was great. I've been thinking about busting the Wii u out just to play wind waker.

> What is the monthly cost of a Mac that can run games, run old software I require for work and hobbies and (importantly) isn't locked down in either hardware or software so I can use it for something completely different later in life?

Yeah, the Mac model for long term use is that you sell it later in life so you can get whatever it is that you need later in life. (Not saying that it is a good thing nor a bad thing).
I mean you make a few good points but I specifically called out your TotK edit because it doesn’t seem directly attributable to their team. It’s not like the yuzu people hacked Nintendo. That they may have encouraged piracy on their discord is not really relevant considering what your quote implies (that they somehow helped TotK leak). In any case, I played that leak on my actual switch and subsequently purchased the game as well because it’s amazing. You’re welcome to call me a bad person for doing that, but I would just say that it’s a nuanced issue and people probably don’t deserve to have their lives straight up ruined for it.

According to the article, the physical implementation of graphs is precisely the thing you cannot ignore, because the performance difference between a generic solution and a "correct" solution is huge, basically the difference between the algorithm not completing and the algorithm completing.

That's the reason why it's hard to come up with a single one-size-fits-all graph implementation.

The book "Kind of Blue: The Making of a Miles Davis Masterpiece" by Ashley Cole is great if you're into this album.

One of the most notable things about this album is that, while there were a few false starts, they used the first complete take for each track, which is astounding. I personally think it's the greatest achievement in the history of music.
I use my M1/8GB Air pretty much exclusively for web browsing and run into 'out of application memory' errors on a regular basis. Relaunching Safari generally solves the problem.

'Nobody puts a butterfly decoration on a pillow to say "there's an actual butterfly on the pillow,"'

But it seems implied to me that it shows a living butterfly, if the butterfly seems realistic otherwise. I don't want a picture of a dead butterfly on my pillow, if I know only a dead butterfly looks like this. Most people don't know, so they are not bothered. That's why this symbol works the way it is - it would not work, if everyone recognizes it as "dead butterfly".
Worktrees are pretty great but I don't understand why I can't have the same branch checked out on two worktrees? I get why committing to a branch checked out elsewhere might be bad, but in that case, just prevent me from committing, like "you can't commit because the branch is checked out elsewhere - maybe create a new branch".
No, the industry is still keen to keep using bash.

For a lot of projects, I have 2 worktrees, where one is for my own work on the project, and the other one is for reviewing other people's code.

That means that I can easily do a review (I like having the code open in my IDE during a review), without having to stash my own work.

> Have you tried living in the dense cities like Mumbai, India or Manila, Philippines?

I've lived in Hong Kong, which is a similar order of density, and which I loved; it was a feeling of being vibrantly alive that's hard to duplicate in a more spread-out environment. Also spent a decent amount of time in Mumbai and enjoyed that - though I might not have if I were one of its poorer residents. Would it be worse than being poor in a village? Not sure.

> It's quite clear that with population density, trash output also increases and is harder to manage.

You're saying that 10 people per km2 produce more trash each than 5 people per km2? What's the mechanism at work there? I'd think denser cities means smaller houses and therefore less room for spurious stuff.
Show HN: Buefy Web Components for Streamlit
While building dashboards in Streamlit, I found myself really missing Buefy's (Bulma) modern web components.

Specially due to the inability to add new values to Streamlit's multiselect [1], some missing controls like a polished image carousel [2] or a highly customizable data table.

Long story short, we put together streamfy (Streamlit + Buefy) as an MIT licensed project in GitHub to bring Buefy to Streamlit.

Demo: https://streamfy.streamlit.app

All the form components are implemented, missing half of other non-form UX components. There is plenty of room for PRs, testing, feedback, documentation, example, etc.

Please send issues and contributions to GitHub project [3] and general feedback to X / Twitter [4]

> how do you deal with the lack of optional type or narrowing?

The idiomatic way is to return an error or an `ok` boolean at the function boundary. Callers always check return value anyway, this is hard to forget because it’s almost always needed anyway.

The type itself can be value or pointer – its an orthogonal choice. If you have a value type that you return, then you should return the zero value (for instance `time.Time{}`. Both nil and the zero type are comparable by equality check.

This is not ideal, and gets messy when the zero type is a valid value for instance. Generics offer some hope but they are not as capable as in eg Rust.
Having nothing at all to go by except for the platform's documentation and if we're lucky a pinky promise

We have way, way, way more than that. Both the GP and you are arguing about the security deficiencies of modern phones as you've imagined them, rather than as they are but that gap is trivial to close with relatively little reading.
> The Captain of the Air France flight had logged 346 hours of flying over the past six months. But within those six months, there were only about four hours in which he was actually in control of an airplane—just the take-offs and landings. The rest of the time, auto-pilot was flying the plane. Langewiesche believes this lack of experience left the pilots unprepared to do their jobs.

They should really be talking about the First officer. The captain knew exactly what to do but wasn't at the controls of the plane until after it had already been stalled.

A lawn is a pretty boring garden.
I'd agree that we've passed peak MacBook, certainly from a repairability perspective.
Because they can.

What else possible answer did you expect, i sincerely wonder?
CPU was never the problem with the Air it's the thermal system. Depending on what you're doing the device simply can't soak up enough heat and so it ends up throttling the CPU.

It takes a long operation e.g. compilation for 10-20 mins before it really starts to fall behind the Pro models.
It would be exciting if the LLM knew it needed a calculator for certain things and went out and got it

Isn't that what it does, when it writes a Python program to compute the answer to the user's question?

> They assume that PHEVs drive 50% of their miles on mains electricity. This is, needless to say, a completely bogus assumption

How is it "needless to say"? The average US driver averages about 38 miles per day. Nearly every PHEV for sale in the US a year ago [1] except for some high end sports cars that sell for $100k+ had an electric range of more of at least half of 38 miles. That makes it at least plausible that the average PHEV will in fact drive 50% of their miles in EV mode.

Even in 2015, in O'Hare Chicago, there were like 5-6 passengers, including me and family that were late due to a late connection and the flight doors had closed. The bridge was not retracted yet. No one was in the counter either. But we could see the pilots and all of us started yelling and waving at them. They got the door opened and we all got in. That was nice of them. Don't remember if it was United or Delta

Since everyone is telling their stories:

I flew all over the country working on the first CAT scanners in hospitals in the late 1970s. I would show up for work with my packed suitcase in the trunk of my car knowing I would be sent somewhere as soon as I walked in the door of work. I'd often travel to two or three cities every week.

Once I was told which hospital I was going to, I would pull out my flight book--a printed thin manual that contained all the latest flights for all the major airports in the USA. I'd select which time suited me and either call the airline to book my flight or just drive out to the airport, walk up to the airline's ticketing counter, and pay by company credit card.

Now I'm talking about a flight I intend to take within an hour or two of being told where I was going to go. Not tomorrow or next week or next month. I needed to go right now. And I wasn't paying extra to do it!

Being the seasoned traveler, I knew not to bother to board the plane till it was ready to go. There were times when I'd arrive at the airport, parked my car, walk to the door of the airplane just as they were closing the door. (No security checking involved.)

The "stews" could spot us frequent flyer business travelers a mile away. They knew we didn't ask for much and often preferred to just be left alone.
Another factor besides comfort is that they can extend the flight time 1-2 hours by having fewer passengers and bags onboard, which of course means premium seats like SQ23/24.

Qantas is planning to launch 18–21 hour routes in 2026 with economy class, using modified A350-1000 with an extra fuel tank in the hold.
I had a mesh network before and it really sucked. You're cutting your Wi-Fi bandwidth in half or even more a lot of the time. I replaced the backhaul with MoCA and I'm much happier with it.
I love how this is done with jQuery. And it'll be obvious to literally anyone whose ever used jQuery (and is a good designer) how perfectly suitable and in many ways superior jQuery would be for something like this. But 98% of developers will absolutely balk at this in horror/confusion/wonder, despite the fact that the React/Angular DIYs they'd make would be bloated and outrageously slow.
Looks like it, however, wouldn't that decrease the speed of development for new people that come onboard?

No, ephemeral usernames are not differential privacy. Differential privacy is repeatedly sampling a database through a differentially-private interface which returns data samples which are either real or fake. The mean and variance of the sampled data match the true mean and variance of the dataset according to a system-defined epsilon value. The end user isn't able to know if any given piece of data is real or fake.

I really don't like differential privacy.

Until you want more memory or a larger SSD then the Macbook is all of a sudden double the price of the equivalent PC laptop.

That's basically true, but with Apple becoming more and more expensive that does leave a very large low-end market for them to play in.

Can confirm. My first snowboard trip was to Mount Hood, Oregon, in the late 80s. I only went because something came up and my friend couldn't go, so he just gave me his plane ticket. The person at the ticket counter just asked me, "Are you Kevin Johnson?" I said "Yep", and walked onto the plane.

Mixtral 8x7b-32768 got it on the first try:

Sally has 1 sister.

Here's the logic behind this:

1. We know that Sally has 3 brothers.
2. Then we are told that each brother has 2 sisters.
3. Since Sally is one of the children in the family, there must be another sister besides Sally.
4. Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.

The number of sisters Sally has is not affected by the number of brothers she has, so the information about her brothers having 2 sisters is not relevant to finding the number of sisters Sally has.

Siri is 10 years old, and even then, the tech was probably not cutting edge. Apple bought much of Siri from another company and we have heard that they ended up having to do a lot of hand coded cases and that it was so complicated that they stuggled to make any changes. It was clearly a dead end, but until recently there was not a lot of demand for more. Alex and Google were a little bit ahead but neither one of those is an honor student either.

Battery longevity is related to number of charge cycles… which means for equivalent efficiency, larger range vehicles will last much longer (in terms of mileage) before needing a battery replacement.
