Agreed. In retrospect, I probably should have opted for something more appropriate for the subject at hand, but I think I just rushed through parent's argument and just picked first option that presented itself in my mind.
It may be worth checking the price and performance numbers; it might be worth running builds on ARM and cross-compiling your x86 binaries (based on https://github.blog/news-insights/product-news/arm64-on-gith... claiming 37% cheaper).
Yes, it is good for suumarizing existing text, explaining something or coding; in short any generative/transformative tasks. Not good for information retrieval. Having said that even tiny Qwen 3b/7b coding llms turned out to be very useful in my use experience.

Zelda Wind Waker made excellent use of the second screen. You could swap tools and scroll the map on the fly without pausing, while continuing to otherwise play normally.
Just wait for "Switch 2 lite" which will be the same size as the original Switch and compatible with the original switch joycons.
I was skeptical that this would work (I still am), but I would love for this to be the trend and welcome it. My most considerable curiosity is we're talking 9 dollars. Were the people who opted out of driving in on the fence due to this breaking their bank?
"In the Apple II ROMs, I even stuck in my own floating point routine. It wasn't incorporated into the BASIC, but I just didn't want the world thinking I couldn't write floating point routines." -- Steve Wozniak [0]

I'm not clear on which Apple II ROMs (INTEGER BASIC or Applesoft ROM, or both) he's referring to.
They had it right with motion controls on the Wii. I could headshot on the Wii edition of Resident Evil 4 so effectively it was cheating.

The Switch also has motion control for fine aiming in some games (Zelda, Borderlands 2). Joysticks for gross movement then motion controls for smaller adjustments. Much better scheme than Xbox or PS.

Strategy games might benefit.
Some products (especially infrastructure) still bill based on (outdated and often irrelevant) core counts and memory count. A few years ago I talked to a seller of a PDF library/toolkit who wanted to know my production and staging core count before they would quote me a price. Explaining to them that it runs in a serverless function on-demand was fun, especially because they would say things like, "well, what's your average?" I would often reply and say my average is defined by a function where you take the number of active users (which itself is highly elastic) and calculate for average runtime at 4 cores per user for approximately 50 ms per page (which page count is highly elastic too) and sum to get "average core use per month". Needless to say it was like pushing a rope.

More common now with SaaS seems to be employee count or some other poor proxy measurement for usage. I love actual usage based billing, but some of the proxies people pick are ridiculous. Like, if I have 5 seats or 500 employees, but 2 users spend 6 hours a day in the software and then 10 others maybe look at it once a quarter, paying the same for those is absurd and is not usage-based billing at all.

I suspect (but cannot prove) that if two children were swapped at birth and placed in a completely different culture on the other side of the world, their behaviour would be very different and would match that culture far more than that of their genetic parents' culture.
For #2, someone once said there are two pricing models (was it Joel Spolsky? Don't recall..):

$0 - $999 - direct sale/download, pricing on website

$50,000+ - full sales team, no pricing on website

And essentially not much in between... this has perhaps changed a bit with SaaS, but this is still semi true.
This comes off as borderline hagiography, when the answer is pretty clear. People figured out that chronic smoking was bad for you a LONG time ago, the reason that understanding was undermined rebutted had nothing to do with science, and everything to do with money.

> these are significant developments that will be discussed in lectures and history books

If one party wants control on the ground and the other will settle for footnotes in history books, maybe we have something Israel and Palestine agree on.

> Both Hezbollah and especially the Houthis did support Palestine, within their means, at significant cost to their own population

Both non-state actors. And Hezbollah backed down after being decimated. The Houthis are still going, but part of the ceasefire is giving oxygen to Israel to focus on long-range operations.

> it primarily fights Israel via its proxies so the actions of the proxies are also the actions of Iran

Yes. The proxies are neutered. Iran is strategically weaker than it’s been in decades. Hamas has gone from being a threat to a charity case, from fighting for things to trading lives for textbook references.

> they will derail normalization, which they achieved, and "exposing all the normalizers" which they also achieved

How? Part of the ceasefire is continued normalisation. If normalisation is rejected the ceasefire ceases and we go back to war.

> I were Russia or China, I would be extremely happy about that because the next time America or Europe lectures them about morality or international law, they can just laugh it off

Versus before? The last time the lectures worked was in the 90s. For anyone.

Tactically speaking, I’m halfway convinced the folks who came up with Defund The Police and think everyone supports Mangione have architected the pro-Palestinian movement in the West. It started as a solid expression of sympathy. But it’s developed into another project of name calling, genericising terms like genocide (if everyone is committing genocide, it’s not something you can punish), and labelling barely-symbolic wins as monumental historical reconfigurations. (An Al Jazeera op-ed predicts Israel’s downfall. Next thing you know, Mika Brzezinski will be predicting a Democrat resurgence and the Daily Caller a GOP single government.)

All this has done is polarise and strengthen opposition to the Palestinian cause by falsely making it seem the Palestinians are as nutty as the pro-Palestinian protesters. (Meanwhile, on the center left, it looks disturbingly like people who have no knowledge of the ground truth again trying to draw borders in the Middle East from abroad.)

Going into a discussion to lecture never works; if there is no curiosity or capacity to question, it’s not an exercise in activism. It’s a child running away to the end of the block, taking satisfaction in the imagined panic and regrets of their parents who likely never noticed their absence in the first place. The current state of rhetoric from both sides points to one outcome: an increasingly-irrelevant Gaza and lots of dead for people to write sympathetic history books about.

Yes their practice elsewhere is better. Amtrak seems to think that lazzaiz-faire platform ingress/egress doesn't scale to NY Penn, but that's exactly backwards — it's not letting people circulate freely which doesn't scale.

Also, fun fact, if you don't go in the main hall Amtrak waiting area at NY Penn, you can board the platform whenever you want. But it's hard to figure out what platform/track to go to in advance — hiding that information is how they discourage this.
It is indeed a delicate balance, and different companies take it in different directions. I've seen ICs who focus almost entirely on a single pillar with minimal collaboration needed, but I've also seen Principal Engineers who were essentially part-time PMs. It really depends on what the person's strong suit is, or what gaps they naturally end up filling.
Early Zionists cooked reality so much that the study of what actually went on created its own class of historians. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Historians

Yes, seriously. When a sales call is scheduled 30 minutes but 5 minutes in we have a conclusion, you get a lot of good will points from me if you thank me for my time, ask me if there's any other questions I have, and then conclude the call. You can even make this explicit with a quip like, "I'll give everybody 20 minutes back!" then it's clear you are being courteous with our time.

This is partly because the ad-funded browser hegemony removed all the features that made them easy to use, via the common "break it, wait for usage to drop off, then claim nobody uses it and delete it" project management path.
I've had a lot of frustration with Switch joy-cons. Not only drift, which has claimed a number of them, but also issues with the console not recognizing when they are attached, and one pair that for some reason the switch won't recognize when trying to use in the horizontal orientation. No doubt my kids have subjected it to hard use and probably a drop or two, but still frustrating.

It looks like they've added some reinforcement to the joysticks, and changed the connection with the main body to be magnetic instead of sliding in and out (which causes wear and tear on the connectors over time). I hope the Switch 2 is more robust than the original Switch.

Some extra horsepower would also be appreciated. Recently we were trying to play Switch Sports with 4 players, and even my kids who are generally oblivious to graphical fidelity and framerate were complaining that it was basically unplayable in 4-player split screen.
I saw Dune in the theater when I 9, I had no concept of who DL was at the time. But by the time I was in my teens ad saw Eraserhead and Twin Peaks it all gelled into the kind of creative breadth that one person could accomplish.

> But then this just pushes the question back one step: How could this brilliant statistician be so naive?

I would suggest that if they're taking money to spout bad science, they're not actually brilliant. So I would suggest this pushes the question back yet further, why do we (still?) think he was brilliant?
A few interesting points that I wasnt sure of. Prop 13 sub-market valuations carry through if you rebuild. The new home can be up to 120% of (the market value) of the old home without without triggering reassessment. beyond 120%, the difference is assessed at market value. I had to look this bit up because the video was unclear on that 120% meant, eg SQFT,ect.

As an aside, Im not sure where they found this cartoon character host to translate and emote for the dry county assessor

I've been in LA for 14 years, and I always say LA has great weather in the same way a mall has good weather. It's never unpleasant and is always "perfect", but at some point you miss the feeling of breeze and slight variations and it feels like you're breathing air from a can.
Yes especially enterprise software marketed toward platforms/infrastructure usually are priced this way. SaaS products aimed at consumers or high-level business (like HR, Accounting, etc) often don't, so depending on what people's experience is mostly they may think differently
I might have missed it, but doesn't it seem like the best option would have been to provide an option for both? Some people (especially of a certain generation) absolutely prefer calls. Seems best to just meet the customer where they're at.

Buffet has this saying: "the stock market in the short term is a voting machine and in the long-term it's a weighing machine." I think a modern version of that is, in the short term the price is narrative and in the long-term it's accounting.

With Berkshire, Buffet figured out early, and firms like Hindenburg capitalized on the strategy of showing both sides of the story.

I think this is aimed at a slightly older audience than the "regular" switch.

This is more like a switch "pro", and I assume a switch 2 lite and such will follow.

This is like the 3ds XL, which in terms of hardware was a HUUUUGGE upgrade to the 3ds, but they didn't really mention it anywhere.

> Our apps are blazing fast (<500ms screen loads)

Hahaha we are absolutely cooked.
DevDocs scrapes all the tech doc from 1 URL to provide to make the LLMs updated
Technical docs suck, DevDocs just made it easier for you to digest latest ones inside your LLM.

LLMs are traditionally outdated with their information, software engineers need updated technical documentations to build secure systems but dont have weeks worth of time scanning confusing docs.

DevDocs scrapes, digests, stores entire doc source from just 1 URL, with a friendly UI and completely private you have the ability to make sure all your technical documentations are up to date and ready for LLM memory.
Our CI runners live on a box in the corner of the office and their only operating cost is my time.

Paying someone for CI compute seems insane. The load is so variable that you never know if your monthly bill will be zero or several hundred/thousand dollars. I especially don't want my employees to consider that each and every push costs the company a nonzero amount of money. CI should be totally free and unrestricted. If a new employee has a really bad day and fires off a hundred CI runs (as we all have), I don't want to explain to accounting why there's an enormous spike in the bill.

It costs us a couple of my salaried hours a month to maintain our on-site infra. Far, far less than our present AWS bill. Most months it needs no attention. It just sits there and does its job. Hell, it's even solar powered.
Blazing fast is a bold claim. I use this app nearly every day on a brand new Pixel 9 Pro and, while much improved from a few years ago, it is far from "blazing fast".

For example, I just recorded myself tapping on a product in the Product list screen and the delay between the pressed state appearing and the first frame of the screen transition animation is more than half a second. The animation itself then takes 300ms which is a generally accepted timeframe for screen animations. But that half second where I'm waiting for the app to respond after I've tapped a given element is painful. UX studies indicate 0.1s as a number where an application no longer feels instantaneous. (https://www.nngroup.com/articles/response-times-3-important-...)

Contrast this against something like the Slack app where the screen is navigating even before the pressed animation has appeared. Or for an app with probably not as much engineering focus, Fastmail, which begins the screen transition within 100ms of the pressed animation state appearance.
I felt this way for a long time, until a couple years ago. Talking with your mouth uses a completely different part of your brain than talking with your fingers. There's pros and cons to both methods. It's nice to have an ace up your sleeve when your competition is other nerds with great writing skills.

I ride into NYC 3x/wk via Penn Station. I realize ETANY is not affiliated with NJTransit, but I dont see how a system with the level of incompetence that NJTransit has could possibly handle more complexity.

NJ Transit can barely seem to handle service w/o Through-Running, so any discussion of expanding service seems premature. Here are some highlights:

- Inability to tell consumers ahead of time that trains will be stopped (even though they know well in advance.) Now, entire private WhatsApp groups have been set up where commuters warn each other of stopped trains and clogged stations. This leads to people coming to Penn Station only to find out trains are not running/cancelled/delayed. This is with a hub/spoke -- imagine if they expand beyond Penn Station into CT/LI.

- Inability/Unwillingness to communicate sources of blockages. There are ways to bypass NYPenn/Secaucus and go directly to Newark (PATH train). But NJTransit wont tell you where the blockage is, so its impossible to work around delays

- Inability/Unwillingness to communicate which trains will depart first, when multiple trains are backed up and queued up. People guess and hope they choose the "next" train.

- Regularly cancelled trains, esp after 7pm. They randomly cancel scheduled trains. No point in a schedule if you wont follow the schedule.

I'd want to contain the chaos of NJTransit to NYPenn Station and not beyond. At most, a 2nd stop at GC (like with LIRR did). The system isnt currently mature enough to be granted more responsibility.

Mind you -- this would be valuable. Folks who move to NJ necessarily cut themselves off CT jobs (esp hedge funds, etc.) So of course, having thru traffic from NJ all the way to CT would open up huge pools of job applicants and job opportunities.
Sorta. If you subdivide an area into more pixels you get lower dynamic range for each pixel, but you can average across multiple pixels to gain back the some of the dynamic range.
These are the palisades though so very hilly with lots of great views. I can't really imagine building apartments up there, and they are really not very centrally located anyways, not like lower Brentwood or most of Santa Monica.

Even Hong Kong builds mostly between its hills and only on them when really rich people are involved (e.g. Victoria Peak).

Not a fan of RSS, but put a serious thoughts why it's useful at conceptual level, and came up with two simple apps

- github.com/trending daily, weekly, monthly group by 10 programming languages i'm familiar with. will add aggregator private upvote, hiding and 140 chars comment functionality

- grouped youtube channels by interests and tagged them in a cloud tag fashion - got RSS like feeds for ai, databases, c++, go, rust, robotics, etc topics, checking them them regularly on weekly and monthly, but no more doom scrolling or swipping next

Most interesting videos and repos has very few likes or views, and great depth. No way algo will push it up in my feed.

The result - no more time or interest to open up twitter, reddit or facebook feeds.

No stress. No feelings on "missing out"

I'll narrow my scope more explicitly:

close(x) is not memory management - not at the user level. This should be done.

free(p) has no O/S side effects like this in C - this can be not-done if you don't malloc all your memory.

You can get away with not de-allocating program memory, but (as mentioned), that has nothing to do with freeing Os/ kernel / networking resources in C.
> There are no human races, though, at least not ones based on phenotypical traits

Race is a social construct. That doesn’t mean it isn’t real. The constructs of “Israeli” and “Palestinian” are as real and deadly as the geographical boundaries they each draw.

> suppose you meant to say the opposite, that the view that racial migration is wrong cannot be morally justified because historical justifications are wrong

If one’s ancestors define legitimate claims to where one can live, then one cannot legitimately live where one’s ancestors were not. In a weird way, the historical returners do a full swing to the xenophobic anti-immigrant types. (There are people who I’ve heard seriously argue that accepting Palestinian refugees is literally genocide.)
