I suspect the cartridge will be similar but have a notch on it that prevents it being inserted into a Switch console.

Bro, it's 2024.
Yep, thats me! I just looked you up. Small world.
But I mean what else could she do? You tell the electorate the truth and they don't understand it or don't listen, you lie and say "fine we will fix it with price controls" and they freak out all the same. Only one side of the political apparatus can like with impunity, apparently.
"EndWokeness" is literally an agenda poster who has openly and willfully lied to your face multiple times.
Great write up!

I looked at ImHex a good while back and I think I had some runtime issues or maybe even compilation issues and didn't dig deeper. Even though the definition language piqued my curiosity.

These days I tend to just use xxd, bless, ghex, or seldom wxHexEditor, depending on what I need. But ImHex looks really powerful, like it could replace all the GUI ones.
I'm looking forward to giving it another go tomorrow.

Though these days I spend most of my time in wireshark, which is kind of a hex viewer in a way.

How does it manage with huge files? Does it try to load the entire thing into memory.
I remember wxHexEditor being good for that, and even being able to open block devices directly and process memory IIRC. Might be getting mixed up with HxD.

The decompression and combining compressed with decompressed sections looks very cool. Is the decompression in memory or written to disk?

// TagRecord Tags[while(!std::mem::eof())];

This loop based length stuff is very cool too, though for large files I'd imagine it could be slow as it will need to iterate through all records to determine the offset for records at the end of the file.

To be fair, wireshark / pcap files have this problem too.
It's an emerging reality, but it will be sustained by the market of kids and adult-kids who need "new thing" to play, and have a group of friends in the same boat.

I've said before that I've got a list of games going back 20-odd years that I'd like to play through in retirement, so I'm not the target market, but for online multiplayer games there needs to be a player base that makes it worthwhile, and the swarms are fickle and fast-moving. Helldivers 2 being a recent example to where a large community swarmed.

Having said that, and as someone else pointed out, enduring games like Fortnite will have to cut off certain aging hardware at some point if it's to remain a viable magnet to the swarms.

Aside: I used to go to LANs back in the Quake2 days, and was annoyed with Counterstrike because it essentially halved the player pool of Q2 FFA fragfests. The fragmentation of the market has only continued since then, but the market has also greatly increased in size. I did very much enjoy the unchained chaos of large scale Q2/Q3 FFA and Rocket Arena. Good times.
> Just' stop wars short of surrendering is easy to say

Also easy to observe that it would be better than conducting wars and surrendering anyway.
But the fact that you prefer McDonald’s will not forgotten and will be part of some data profile on you , sold and resold by data brokers.
The modern versions of the switch with those catastrophic bugs patched are still hackable though through mod chips. It's too hard for the casual user to install, but it's plenty accessible for a hacker who just wants to dump ROMs and reverse engineer the OS.

Even if the software is absolutely bulletproof, you can hack almost everything by modifying the hardware. Cutting the power of the CPU for a tiny amount of time for example can cause it to glitch in a way that bypasses the security checks. This is accessible enough for at least one person to get in and dump games.
If a person or company wants to acquire controlling shares, they absolutely will need to buy up countless millions of shares to make that happen.
US politics isn't easy to understand as an outsider. It looks like Harris was was an ok candidate for the core democrat voter and a terrible candidate to win a populist election in what is essentially a deeply divided and mostly conservative country. She didn't address the swing voters greatest concerns which was their decline in real wealth due to inflation and fear of change. I am sure money and influence had a lot to do with it as well but still a colossal misreading of public sentiment and an inability to reach out to a broader audience.
First, Harris isn't Biden. Second, when Trump calls immigrants criminals, I'm pretty sure he means it. How many generations do you have to look back before you find an immigrant among someone you call friend or family? We are a nation of immigrants, a country less than 300 years old. And who does he mean when says immigrants? It never seems to be that nice German couple down the road who _look_ like the other European folk that happened to immigrate a few generations earlier.

More families would be open to townhomes and condos if they had 3-4 bedrooms.
There are many roles that haven’t been automated yet, including elder care.

I’m skeptical that nurses could be enhanced by automation to the degree of them managing more patients, but with the same quality of care as they do now.
Grounding isn't an issue, as AED's are battery-powered once they are pulled off the wall.

But they do pump out a lot of juice. If you're touching the patient, it will HURT.
We spend way too much for social stuff, especially pensions

Germany has a problem with pensions in particular but it isn't fixable without abandoning what Germany stands for. At least for another few generations.

Germany told everyone that they needn't worry about their pensions. The government has got your back. We take care of it.

Norbert Bluem - "Your pension is safe!"

Shortly after they introduced legislation that would make pensioners pay tax on their pension income. Something that was "not a thing" before. They also basically told those people that would now have to pay tax on their pension income that they "should've had private pension plans already anyway".

Oh and they introduced multiple ways to help insurance companies steal people's money. "Riester Renter" and such. Not a good deal at all. Oh and there's no way to save money in a tax advantaged way without using insurance companies. No self-serve investment 401k or RRSP. It's all employer and insurance tied.

Way to fuck over your population.
Are you... asking yourself? What did you decide?
Fox News has been the most watched news channel for 22 years.
Firing someone for a mistake they will have learnt never to make again is not just pointless but also counterproductive.
> I expect that people are going to die because of the policies that Trump enacts during his presidency

This comes with the job. His actions or inactions will have all sorts of impacts, just like every president before him.

> Better that we go down fighting than willingly be party to America becoming another authoritarian regime that commits atrocities

Forgive the snark, but what universe have you been living in? We have a pretty strong record when it comes to committing atrocities.

> But it appears that the American people value their wallets more.

That's a pretty dismissive way to put it. Food and housing and medical care being increasingly unaffordable is an existential issue for a lot of people. Of course Trump presided over some of that decline, but this sort of blind spot towards what the lives of common people are like contributed heavily to this election IMO.
Yes, I was going to come back to say basically all of this. We noticed that not only were we no longer saving money, but we weren't even living paycheck to paycheck and had to make all these sorts of changes and cuts to get off a very bad trajectory.
If US suspects they are breaking the law they can convince judge to sign warrant to get that information or start lawsuit and go through discovery. If they refuse the judge can hold them in contempt of court. I assume next they could just get judgement against them (assuming they are breaking the law) and that could be e.g. require seizing assets and dissolution of the US company.
I am on day 8 of Cursor's 14-day trial. If things continue to go well, I will be switching from Webstorm to Cursor for my Typescript projects.

The AI integrations are a huge productivity boost. There is a substantial difference in the quality of the AI suggestions between using Claude on the side, and having Claude be deeply integrated in the codebase.

I think I accepted about 60-70% of the suggestions Cursor provided.

Some highlights of Cursor:

- Wrote about 80% of a Vite plugin for consolidating articles in my blog (built on remix.run)

- Wrote a Github Action for automated deployments. Using Cursor to write automation scripts is a tangible productivity boost.

- Made meaningful alterations to a libpg_query fork that allowed it to be cross-compiled to iOS. I have very little experience with C compilation, it would have taken me a substantially long time to figure this out.

There are some downsides to using Cursor though:

- Cursor can get too eager with its suggestions, and I'm not seeing any easy way to temporarily or conditionally turn them off. This was especially bad when I was writing blog posts.

- Cursor does really well with Bash and Typescript, but does not work very well with Kotlin or Swift.

- This is a personal thing, but I'm still not used to some of the shortcuts that Cursor uses (Cursor is built on top of VSCode).
I remember when he pushed the lie that Pelosi's husband was attacked by his gay lover. Or when he pushed the lie that Democrats are stuffing voting boxes with illegal immigrants'votes, or that brown people are replacing white people.

A lot of people call those handhelds to distinguish between them and traditional consoles which attach to a TV.
It's not exactly like gas, but it's not not like gas... there's something distinctly petrochemical-like about it and also garlicky, which makes sense since dithiapentane and allicin (the primary component of garlic aroma) are both organosulfur compounds.
> Give me Terraform (as much as I hate it) any day

Terraform sure is a quirky little DSL ain’t it? It’s so weirdly verbose.

But at the same time I can create some azure function app, setup my GitHub build pipeline, get auth0 happy and in theory hook up parts of stripe all in one system. All those random diverse API’s plumbed together and somehow it manages to work.

But boy howdy is that language weird.
Let's take this one step further, then, and ask why we should allow private media ownership if it's this important. Why should some malevolent billionaire be able to own CNN or NYT and decide what stories they could publish? Does it matter if the billionaire has a US passport or not?

There's a mandatory ratio for public broadcasting. It does ensure that the (same five) Canadian bands get radio airplay (35% must be Canadian), that broadcast television airs Canadian produced shows (50% annually), and so on. So, in a sense, yes?
I wonder if they are talking about the smell added to natural gas, rather than talking about the smell of gasoline
The thing is, I'm not trying to argue. What are you hoping to gain from this exchange? I've already said I despise our two-party system and dislike both campaigns and (in another comment) I've been relegated by both sides.

My original comment was simply a personal observation that, in this election season, I received far more abuse from one side over the other, and that I was sad to see this same disdain continue here in HN. You may have had a completely different experience, and that's perfectly OK, but I'm honestly confused at the goal with you questioning me about a comment Trump made.
My civil war knowledge is limited. Are you aware of what happened to larger assets like cannons and warships?

I imagine today these would be far more of a deciding power than troops.
The entire point of empathy is making a genuine effort to understand and connect, even across differences. I don't think it is what you seem to think it is, reserved only for people you already relate to/understand.
As a Canadian I’m just left wondering what scandal the Liberals are trying to cover up now.
A recentish Radiolab story about Oregon marijuana production: https://www.npr.org/2023/11/29/1197955821/marijuana-state-fe...

With the choice quote:

There are just over four million people in Oregon, and so far this year, farmers have grown 8.8 million pounds of weed. Which means there's nearly a pound of dried, smokable weed for every single person in the state of Oregon. As a result, the sales price for legal marijuana in the last couple of years has plummeted.
Well but maybe Chad in Nebraska would appreciate buying a Halloween decoration for $0.50 on wish!?!

We should maybe just reconsider in general what kind of thing is economically viable
What’s frustrating is democrats never got to pick o their candidate like the republicans did. There was no. The powers that be picked her and many people didn’t even realize there was a switch.
This is one of the main reasons we're seeing the legacy media lose legitimacy. People want to hear authentic voices and go to where the new ideas are.
The Electoral College was established during the Constitutional Convention… in 1787.

Sure, there have been changes since then, but it’s probably always been optimal to go for many states as opposed to the handful of biggest ones.
Of course not physically but hes a billionaire, married to a Russian model. He is glamorous, which is enough for a man.
I just find it hard that these times, it's more like heaven from human history point of view.

At least in there, there's no active war (there is a threat but bullets aren't flying around or you have problem acquiring food and water), and cities are moderately safe, you can buy stuff with a few clicks, many entertainments to choose from, convenient phones etc etc. And you get to take advantage of those without earning a fortune.

It's so absurd to think this is some sort of hell. They don't know actual hell like past and some present people are experiencing.

Why don't those people appreciate the situation they're in?
Millions of people were manipulated in 2016 by 'domestic powers' and the narrative that only Hillary could beat Trump.

As much as I like it, I find C# to be too inflexible of a language for infrastructure code. I tried with Pulumi for a while but moved to TypeScript as it works so much better. Structural typing makes your life a lot easier.
You're still free to leave, unlike citizens under socialism.

This is bordering on misleading. In Florida, Gore lost to Bush by 537 votes. Nader had 97,488. There was no need for a conspiracy that all or even most Nader votes would have tipped it.
68% of people say "I often wish there were more political parties to choose from" describes their views either extremely or somewhat well.

Rounding up looks like around 145 million people voted in this election, that's less than half the population of the united states.

Do you have any evidence to support the idea that the current system reflects the "position of the majority"?

> 'comparing me to my co-worker: “You’re better looking than the guy I talked to before.”'

That's just harmless workplace banter. Why not just joke back? If that's worst example of 'sexism' she experienced, then the headline should read: "Welding profession is the least sexist profession in the world". Far less sexist than nursing or academia...

> Although I have a good gig as a full professor at Iowa State University, I’ve daydreamed about learning a trade – something that required both my mind and my hands.

I'm skeptical. I think you daydreamed about writing an article about workplace sexism and welding was just a means to that end.
> You can't run on that against a 4 star rear admiral who also went into space.

If I've learned anything since 2016 it's that you absolutely can convince ½ of Americans that a 4 star rear admiral who also went into space hates America.

"You’re assuming people are consistent."

People are consistent but the media is not and the audience is far bigger than anyone can imagine. This is the Brave New World. We all know things are changing rather fast. Back in the day, I'd write a letter to someone - yes pen and ink (obviously being modern, I had a cartridge pen). Nowadays I pick up the phone and shout at the little twit who tries to hide behind email. OK we had phones back in the day but a call to say Australia (I'm in the UK) had a 2 second latency and a price in the £ per minute range. I remember the handover of pulse to tone dialing.

Nowadays we have an embarrassing array of communication methods and forums to chat and shout in and be heard all around the world (should anyone care to listen).

Yes you can be picked out and I suggest you be a little careful there but this is the world that we find ourselves within.

I was forced to read 1984 in 1984 when I was a lad. We also had Animal Farm and Brave New World on the reading and discussion list at school that year.

It isn't military that's in question. It's their engagements.

The U.S defense budget would be a fraction of its budget if used for defense.

There is an upside in wining wars. But since the U.S has been losing them, it's funding jobs that provide no value. Would better be spent elsewhere.

The Japanese unique economic boom after WWII was mostly due to having little to know defense budget. Germany's was less impressive but also benefited from focusing on the economic performance.
as an outsider this is the biggest thing.

It's like D-voters don't even understand how unhinged they are.

"Everyone is stupid but me" doesn't do anyone any favors and doesn't fix any problem.

"I have the makings of a plan" is 100x more attractive to people who need change.
Another problem brought about by their design being backwards-compatible with tuples is that you get wonky equality rules where two namedtuples of different types and with differently-named attributes can compare as equal:

>>> Foo = namedtuple("Foo", ["bar"])
>>> Baz = namedtuple("Baz", ["qux"])
>>> Foo(bar="hello") == Baz(qux="hello")
True

This also happens with the "new-style" namedtuples (typing.NamedTuple).

I like the convenience of namedtuples but I agree with the author: there are enough footguns to prefer other approaches.

Alrighty then. Wow.
In case anyone is curious, the $1 is the increase in the maximum SNAP benefit per month for an individual, from $291/month to $292/month. (The increases for larger households are similarly small.)

This is not the actual increase of the benefit amount. In particular, it appears the cost of living adjustment this year is 2.5%. I have been unable to find statistics on how many people/households actually receive the maximum amount, but I don't have a particular reason to believe it is large. (The average benefit amounts are significantly below the maxima.)

Tldr: the average SNAP benefit amount received by people has increased and will increase by significantly more than $1/month.

It's literally how most people use the word.

Most people are not economists. All they know is they're spending more for less every month, and they don't like it.

The money supply idea has always been Austerian crackpot nonsense, intended to dissuade governments from investing in public services of all kinds because that's socialism, and we certainly don't want any of that.

In reality price rises are mostly driven by corporate profiteering, and sometimes - as in the oil crises of the 70s - by supply shocks.
Lol good for you! Don’t watch it. Be the moral police, see how that works out. This is the reason moderates are pushed into right side.

It was LITERALLY the FIRST thing she talked about as candidate. Instantly. I think this exchange perfectly reveals the true core of the issue: most people, even those educated and engaged with politics (like 15% of the voter base) don't listen to, remember, or care about policy. Not even a little bit.

This entire thread is ripe with it; hundreds of suggestions about what policy would have worked, what she SHOULD have focused on.

It doesn't matter. It's obvious when you really just embrace it: she should have lied her ass off. Blatantly. Overly simply obvious lies.

"I will fix the economy. I will triple your paycheck and lower prices at the grocery store. I will half the cost of a house. Free college for everyone. 5x the military budget"

Why not? If people don't listen to the truth and vote instead for the man who tells very nearly EXCLUSIVELY lies then what is there to lose?
Yes,just like there are elections in Hungary, or Venezuela, or there were elections in the Soviet bloc.

You will have your banana elections for your banana Republic all right.
Microsoft had internal tooling very similar to bolt almost 20 years ago. Most of those opts were moved to the compiler in ltcg mode with pgo.
Well, yeah actually. If anyone is going to control it, it's best to be us controlling our own messaging.

Suggesting tariffs was his way of saying "stuffs so messed up I will make radical change" to the angry working class. It also harks back to the early 20th century which he loves.

The Dems didn't really have an inroad to that demographic. Suggesting federally granted home buying credits just sounded like another financial scheme from on high and missed the mark entirely imho; there was no bigger economic discussion happening there.
