GBA emulation started right after the console's release; any checks against emulation around that time were primarily targeting bootleg/flash carts.

Some PSP games also have anti-CFW (custom firmware) checks that will also trip emulators that haven't yet coded to deal with that.

There are a few groups working on leveraging observations more directly in the ML forecast models and skipping over the assimilation/analysis step. However, unlike the original ML forecasting problem (which, let's be honest - was grossly over-simplified by the existence of ERA-5, which has been treated as "ground truth" for the atmosphere and used to teach models how to simply go from state at t=1 to state at t=1+\delta t), there's reason to believe that incorporating the observations will be substantially more difficult, given the complexity and bounty of the observations themselves and the challenge of framing a tractable, useful ML problem on top of them.

Which contributing parts are less important than solving the problem?

First time I hear that claim as well. The only "peak" I'm aware of is coal burning for electricity.

that is expected to go down going forward, but that's not peak CO2, as coal engines are just one source of CO2 and not even the biggest contributer.

Misinformation is big with everything related to climate change as usual, so I kinda doubt we're anything close to peak CO2, but I'll keep checking the global CO2 averages. Maybe it'll go down from 450 again. It'd be great if itc went back to 290 (thats what it was before the industrial revolution, supposedly)... But I'm not expecting to see any reduction within my lifetime

It seems that some sources take the phrase "source code leak" too literally - as in, the entire 270GB is just _source code_, that's of course wrong. Also, some even haven't noticed that the leak isn't just their source code repositories, it's actually repositories with the entire Git history (.git subfolder), which does seem to end at late January for some of the bigger repos, making the date quite accurate.

Another thing to note is that apparently multiple repositories have private information like addresses or phone numbers.

As for the leak itself, download at your own discretion, but from the looks of it they're just harmless tar archives of repositories: https://files.catbox.moe/ez1ncr.txt
That's true, the small differences between a pragmatic "accurate enough" emulator and real hardware can matter for speedrunners. The difference between real hardware running at 60fps and a principled cycle-accurate emulator running at <0.1fps would matter more, though.

For the SNES and earlier it's feasible to have exceptional accuracy and still usable performance, but for anything modern it's just not happening. Imagine trying to write a cycle-accurate emulator core for a modern CPU with instruction re-ordering, branch prediction, prefetching, asynchronous memory, etc, nevermind making it go fast.
With China having brought 47.4 gigawatts (GW) of new coal power online in 2023, why is is expected to go down going forwards?

Wonder how GitHub wasn't able to detect a single token downloading the entire organization's worth of repositories, especially if it's over 6 thousand of them.

Farfetching
Up until last month, the earliest known post/repost of the Backrooms image was an archived 4chan post from 2018, but it was believed to have been taken in 2012 or earlier based on the filename. So people have been looking for earlier posts/reposts of the image for years in an effort to uncover its origin.

During the recent successful search, the searchers trawled 4chan archives for early-2010s posts with similar image metadata to the 2018 Backrooms image copy. These archives were missing the original image files and thumbnails, but still retained some image metadata that could be filtered on (dimensions, image file md5s etc.) One of the searchers came up with a list of posts which might have originally included the image file, based on image metadata and context. Another searcher plugged the image md5 of one of these candidate posts (an April 2011 post recently added to an archive) into other archives, and hit on a post with a thumbnail matching the original Backrooms image from March 2011. At this point they'd finally found an earlier copy of the image, after years of searching.

Soon after, one of the searchers plugged the filename of the March 2011 post into Twitter's search, and came up with a post from 2019 which included the physical address and a link to the image source (this Twitter user had already found the source before the search had really begun, but it had gone unremarked upon at the time). The website had been replaced with blogspam in the interim. A searcher plugged this domain into waybackmachine and found a page with the image and a full explanation (it was taken during the renovation of a commercial property in Wisconsin).

TSP isn't really about liminal space, it's about narrative decision making and the consequences of trying to account and develop for that in video games. I suppose you could say that it uses the liminal space of a barren office to achieve an awkward atmosphere that is meant to make you question everything about it, but that's a really small aspect of the game as a whole.

Isn't this identical to a dev from five years ago saying "I picked X stack because of the community"?

ChatGPT learns from blog posts, forums, etc. If there's a vibrant and helpful community around a stack, ChatGPT has a lot to work with. If it's obscure, not so much.
Thanks for confirming. (I deliberately worded my question like that, as it makes sense to roll such features out in phases, just like plenty of others have done - off the top of my head, DuckDB and Apache Impala for example.)

Edit: In the post you mentioned that you optimized the hot path for likely taking the non-matching record path. Sometimes with well-designed partition wise joins, most of the records actually do match and survive the join - I guess in such (estimated or detected) cases you could switch to an alternative path with a match being the likely branch in the hot path…
Rather than the stack as in programming languages, libraries, frameworks, to build applications you should probably focus on platforms - be it something like vercel or render or heroku, or a bit more low-level like aws lambda, pick some platform+stack that works well together and that relieves you from thinking about ops and deployment at all. It will prevent you from wasting time at running your app rather than coding features.

The games are never really well rounded on release, so they earn derision of long time fans. They get fully fleshed out with the expansions that get released later.

My personal opinion is that even though the initial releases are a bit... empty, they introduce core mechanics that are (imho) fundamental improvements (e.g. no death stacks in Civ V, districts in Civ VI).

You’d be surprised. Repo mirroring systems, continual cloud backups, sysadmins/engineers cloning every repo of an org, 3rd party tools regularly inspecting repos, etc.

The best option is for the organization themselves to monitor their gh/ghes logs, exclude this sort of activity, and then detect it themselves. There’s no way gh can monitor all orgs for mass repo clones without a mess of false positives.
That is actually kinda fascinating given that it's directly in opposition to this blog post. I wonder who's telling the truth?

Like everything in life, moderation seems to be the key.

Especially with alcohol it can be difficult to moderate due to social pressure and such. Many friends seems to acknowledge that light drinking isn't harmful, but given they don't see that as an option.

For many that grew up in US drinking culture, the choice is surprisingly binary: binge drink or abstain completely.

I have a tumbler, but for 2 years in a row the composting just wouldn't start. I added the starter pellets to it, and would maintain it just like in previous uses of tumblers. When I'd empty it, it was just stored cut grass.

I've now just started a pile in the spot next to the tumbler where I emptied it. The pile is amazing. I just turn it with a shovel and you can see the progress. I stopped using the tumbler all together. I only use the trimming from yard work and add plant based leftovers from the kitchen, and it breaks things down much faster than I was expecting. It doesn't have a rodent problem. It doesn't stink. In fact, quite the opposite. I enjoy the smell of fresh turned up soil instead the expected rotting smell.
I've been playing Civ for... longer than I'd care to admit and I was initially disappointed with the art style and mechanics of VI, but the art grew on me and the expansions made it much better than V ever was.

We had an apprenticeship/internship program, and it worked out great. It gave new grads (from both colleges and bootcamps) on-the-job experience as well as active mentorship, it gave us an extended but time-limited way to verify that these folks were actually good at their job, and for the most part, they were all excellent software engineers, and we extended offers to something like 75% of them, and 50% of those accepted and worked there for awhile before moving on to another company.

imo, a very worthwhile investment of time and money.
Why Parents Are Better Programmers [video]
It's definitely not for everyone haha. You get a rhythm with it, take lots of naps etc. The medicine does give you some energy to do the work, and you generally feel good from the vine. We take a couple months off a year and don't usually drink during those breaks. It's hardest when we ourselves are also doing master plant diets (even more restrictive than the usual "ayahuasca diet", no salt/oil/etc).

Always equally pleasant? No of course not. Some nights it's unbelievable and profound. The "hard" nights are still good as we're still learning to clean the things causing it. It's rarely mundane and (through the tradition we practice) there's always something to do, in ourselves or for our guests.
As this is a technology forum, I recommend Velcro which is clearly the superior product.
> generally GraalVM is slower to start, but after a few iterations it can be as fast or faster

That's even true of the standard HotSpot-backed JVM. I've rewritten programs from Java to JS which has resulted in making them faster—because they're short-lived, and the JVM's slow startup chewing through the budget is never offset by any of the theoretical speedups that the JVM otherwise promises.
Nit: It's only hard to find _hamiltonian_ cycles, finding general cycles is trivial. More generally, it's hard to find long simple cycles (a simple cycle is one with no overlapping vertices visited twice).

I don't know how hard it is to generate graphs that are hard to find simple cycles in though. For example, previous work showed that random graphs are likely to contain hamiltonian cycles (and with this algorithm they can now be found).
"Picking the simpler solution" is not equivalent to "we've given up."

It's higher than retail rooftop PV costs which is $450 per kwp.

Which country is that in? I don't know of any country where you can get e.g. a 5 kilowatt rooftop system installed for $2250 (except perhaps with special government tax credits/incentives). The costs for this Chinese project include not just the PV modules but the land, racking, inverters, transformers, grid connection, and installation labor.
Difficult realm for me to investigate myself. I have found that better than any book is to pull old VMS images out and get them up on a SIMH/Vax emulator and poke around! It's a quite laborious process and documentation of the process is sparse, last time I ended up using the Computer History Museum remote access program to interact with ancient VMS.

To actually learn how to use the thing I ended up diving deep into textfiles.com archives for references to VMS and got the hang of the basics enough to start learning via the online (built in) documentation.

I would also point you towards usenet archives if you want to learn more about the development history of VMS, what what i have been able to piece together it was really rock solid and loved and quite a shame that "open"VMS is mostly just a legacy compatibility licensing agreement and the technology is in a bit of a glacial deep freeze.

The fact that every file on the entire OS had version control - by default - before 1990... that blows me away and I feel like there's so many beautiful secrets to learn from this codebase. I always imagined it would be written in some abstract arcane language, when I learned it was in C i got a bit scared knowing what microsoft calls C has very little resemblance to how C is typically used on unix likes, and with the knowledge that many VAX admins dumped VMS for BSD I was quite afraid I may be out of my element.

I was surprised to find the C library is essentially just posix, I felt pretty much completely at home on VMS compared to any version of windows I have had to write C for. Pleasant experience, shame what happened to it, wish there was more about its story told in an authoritative context like a book.

If you stumble across anything nifty please feel free to share I may come back and read this read again someday.

Yeah, I don't get the no till. The soils in my area are so compact that your % of successful seed germination will be much lower without that effort.
