I often use the wii wheel as my handicap for family, but my wife (new to games) is now good enough that I might need to switch that soon. When my oldest was first trying Mario Kart, his uncle came over and played against him blindfolded (an

Discs do matter in one way. I don't think I have ever seen a digital "purchase" of any significance which I could resell or gift at a later time. Some "in game" things are resellable, but only within the game's

The term I am familiar with prior to that was "immediate family" (as opposed to "extended family"). You come across the term a lot in old genealogy books. For instance in "The History and Genealogy of the Prentice,

Because often the law cares about intent, not technicalities. Technically you could argue that this is a "whole home battery solar setups with a grid backup", but clearly the intent is as a workaround. I'm not saying this is

For the last example given in that article: /test_.*_errors/;/errors I find it much easier to use "\zs". That tells vim where you want the "start" of the match to be. Everything before the "\

I believe it is called that because it is meant for learning to balance on a bicycle (as opposed to training wheels which, as commonly used, are mostly helpful in learning to pedal, but not balance). There are many other brands of "bal

Off-topic, but it looks like the author is using the URL to determine how much traffic reached his article through Hacker News. The URL ends with "-hn", but if you remove that, it still goes to the same article (and links to the a

It also includes time to allow discovering of compromised accounts. If the owner of a popular package is hacked, this gives the owner a week to raise alarms about this.

When did he post that "vibecoding" was here to stay? He is allowing AI generated code, and AI linting tooling in kernel development, but importantly, the expectation of human responsibility and review remains. This seems a far cry

I would prefer to know what the product will do when I purchase it, and it should continue to do the same things in the same way for its entire lifespan. I would also prefer that vendors be unable to retroactively add ads, tracking, or othe

> "x% of what? what is the denominator?" Another reason the denominator is important is that "parents" are (hopefully) completely a subset of "adults". And not all adults have living parents. So who is count

I don't have a problem with USB C cables, and even if I did it wouldn't be a big deal. The cables are cheap compared to the devices they charge. It is broken USB-C ports that frustrate me about them, or ones with worn out clips.

Also, it looses functionality gracefully in that it is still a perfectly serviceable toothbrush even if it is out of battery. That said, I have never had a Sonicare run out of battery either.

I find it easy to detect. If I wave my hand in front of my face quickly, the movement looks choppy instead of being just a blur. I can often tell lighting is cheep LED even without doing this. Movement just feels off. It is mildly annoying,

I have used Kokoro fairly extensively for an accessibility product. I have loved working with it (especially because I don't have an NVidia GPU like many TTS of similar quality require). I particularly appreciate the fact that it lets

We see this all over. Generic brands can be on-par with (or even 100% identical) to name-brands, and the name brands still make money. For example at my local grocery store, you can buy distilled white vinegar from Heinz or the generic bran

It is linked at the top of the article. It is a physics-based sandbox building game. Back in the day it was commercial, but it was abandoned a while back and somewhat more recently released as open-source.

I don't think it is supported anywhere else currently, but Batocera has a simple wsquashfs format. It is basically the game compressed into a squahsfs. Then it can be managed as simply as other traditional ROMs: https://wiki

That is just what the (edited) title makes it sound like. The article states that Christopher Olah will be a speaker present at the encyclical release. It does not imply that he had any hand or influence in the content.

The title seems to be editorialized. To me, it makes it sound like Christopher Olah (the mentioned Anthropic co-founder) is a co-author. Instead he is going to be one of several speakers present when the encyclical is released.

As other commenters here have noted, I found this interesting but a little frustrating. The second color it asks about is clearly cyan (or turquoise). For me, this is like showing an orange screen and asking if it is red or yellow. I unders
