Twilight princess got a HD remaster though.

Having played all of the 2d Metroids, Super Metroid still holds up very well, even compared to the newer games. There’s less direction than what you might be used to though. Newer entries in the series tend to try to funnel you places. But if you are simply concerned about the gameplay being clunky, don’t be.

Super Metroid way ahead of its time, and the controls are extremely responsive and tight. It’s one of the reasons it’s such a popular speed game. It’s just fun to play. While basic controls are serviceable, there are many tricks you find yourself learning about as you play the game, which you just have access to, that give the movement system quite a bit of depth. (For hints, let the attract move run at the beginning of the game.)

Same tbh. Framework just works. And they do contribute back, just perhaps not as much specifically to Linux. Open source hardware is so incredibly valuable and important and rare. Honestly, if I had to choose only based on how much is contributed back, I’d still pick Framework.

Damn dude. Is your life really so pathetic that you are honestly deriving please from bad news being delivered to people who are on the opposite side of a fucking web browser debate? That’s sad. I hope things start looking up for you in the future.

Fair, if you really are curious what was going on in my brain it was first I looked at it and assumed mm.dd.yy, because context clues led me to assume you are American, but then I noticed the year was 2007, so I swapped the year and the month mentally without revisiting the entire thing. Idiot in a hurry syndrome, no one uses yy.dd.mm.

Oh! I missed that! For some reason I thought it was Feb 11 not Nov 2

2025 - 2007 = 18, actually.

It’s kind of crazy remembering 1) horrible Bush was, 2) how much better Bush was than the current administration in retrospect.

The point about the conspiricists now toeing the Republican party line was prescient.

Good article, thanks for sharing.

“You mean I hitched my wagon to Grabthor The Wagon Destroyer, and he destroyed my wagon? This is an outrage!”

Or instead of targeting tiktok specifically, they could have chosen to pass a data privacy law and actually did something worthwhile instead of pointless, unpopular grandstanding. Haha just kidding, they would never do anything to reduce even slightly shareholder value.

LLMs are bad for the uses they’ve been recently pushed for, yes. But this is legitimately a very good use of them. This is natural language processing, within a narrow scope with a specific intention. This is exactly what it can be good at. Even if does have a high false negative rate, that’s still thousands and thousands of true positive cases that were addressed quickly and cheaply, and that a human auditor no longer needs to touch.

If only there were other things that a person could do outside of voting once every four years to participate in the political process.

Hey, look at that. It’s the inevitable consequence of the game theory of first past the post voting. Voting system reform is my #1 issue, and if you actually care about the fact that “99% of voters” are locked into voting for someone they dislike to avert disaster every 4 years, it should be yours as well.

There is no meaningful future for third parties until and unless this occurs. IRV is a good first step, but Score voting is better. Multimember districts are also important. Getting rid of the electoral college is a no-brainer.

A problem that only affects newbies huh?

Let’s say that you are writing code intended to be deployed headless in the field, and it should not be allowed to exit in an uncontrolled fashion because there are communications that need to happen with hardware to safely shut them down. You’re making a autonomous robot or something.

Using python for this task isn’t too out of left field, because one of the major languages of ROS is python, and it’s the most common one.

Which of the following python standard library functions can throw, and what do they throw?

bytes, hasattr, len, super, zip

Seems to be free access, for now

I would be impressed if they risk it. Literally half of Mongolia’s population resides in their capital city Ulaanbaatar. If a country bordering Russia were to arrest the sitting Russian president and turn him over to Copenhagen then there’s a non-zero possibility of a retaliatory airstrike on the capital, destroying their only major city and killing a significant percentage of the entire country’s population.

Too bad you’ll never receive that option from any manufacturer.

The scam is that they are actually doing the work, getting paid well

Listen. I know that there are some really shitty stuff going on in North Korea, and very real threats that their government is capable of, and it sucks for the people living there who have to do this work under threat of death.

But if you say that “the scam” is they’re doing work and receiving full pay for work done, I’m going to make fun of you. Oh no, someone outside of the West did work and was slightly less exploited by capital than usual in the process. Horror upon horror.

In 2-3 days the New York Times is going to breathlessly report that Biden called up Netanyahu, scolded him, and gave him yet another ultimatum.
