What would be the problems? When I’ve looked into streaming video before (for normal, non ripping reasons), I’ve noticed that most are already playlists of segments. You’d just need to store the segments that are different between versions, which should be better than keeping full separate versions which is what they apparently do currently.

Yeah, I discovered this the hard way when I tried to plug a somewhat modern keyboard to a pc through ps/2 (for the theoretical interrupt-driven speed) and didn't work.

A lot of mechanical gaming keyboards still support ps/2 though for the aforementioned interrupts.

Yeah, and there was also Maemo/Meego that was also sold on stores. Neither had a very high market share.

> Because they can't do much, if anything at all?

But the Apple Watch can, and a lot of the same arguments apply to it as much as any third party watch.

> CUPS > Apple

CUPS is currently owned by apple, but they only bought it in 2007. It actually originated as an independent project by a company calles Easy Software Products.

What do you mean HUUUGE upgrade? The only difference between the 3DS and the 3DS XL is the battery. Same with the New 3DS XL and New 3Ds.

You might be getting confused because the New 3DS (which was a hardware upgrade) mostly sold in XL version in the US. The non-XL model was sold mostly as limited special editions.

Neither generation of Switch Pokemon games looked or performed decent, but I guess bad performance is a gamefreak constant since at least the 3DS

Yeah, that's what the post means. This is not a Doom level.

Sure, but this is a Demolition Man reference

> Is it the same for the current minute of the current hour ? I'm not so sure.

Yes it is. Appointments start at the beginning of the minute, not the average. (And while changing clocks WOULD change that, I'm not sure it makes a lot of sense)

A podcast is basically a list of files which are the episodes (together with episode metadata), so this would presumably fetch those and notify you when there's new ones / download them, and maybe keep track of how far along you're in each episode and provide playback speed controls.

It's pretty much historical, and initially based on the tastes of medieval priests doing Gregorian chant. It started with the handful of intervals they would use and more intervals were added as needed when music grew more complex until we got to similar-ish 12 intervals, which were then actually equally spaced later.

> What do you think Japan should do to encourage Japanese language learning among immigrants?

It really boggles my mind how many immigrants to a place (because it doesn't just happen in Japan) are fine not trying to learn the language, especially if the place doesn't even understand the languages you know. You'd think living in such a place would be enough encouragement (it certainly would be for me), but I keep seeing stories about immigrants in several places not bothering to learn a common language of where they live.

> Most people do install Nvidia’s out‐of‐tree graphics driver

Most people that use Nvidia. I specifically don't buy Nvidia graphics cards or laptops that use them in my Linux computers because they're not in-tree.

Docker in macOS (at least the useful one) just runs in a Linux VM, and I don't see why you couldn't run a VM off an image on an external drive. Maybe the UI doesn't let you select that location?

It's not clear their license was open source, actually. OSI Makes free distribution the first part of the definition of open source, as well the ability to create derived works[1]. Their rule against forking might clash against that.

> Android, for example

Yes, OEMs are expected to release their kernels' sources. Also yeah, they're mostly very bad at it.

> If consoles did it, it would most likely mean a break in backwards compatibility or a lot of investment in emulation.

Consoles tend to break compatibility every like couple of generations anyway. The PS5 is only compatible with PS4, for example, because the PS3 used the PowerPC-based Cell. Also, Nintendo has been using ARM since like, the Gameboy Advance (Fun fact is that in handhelds nintendo tended to use the previous generation's CPU as a sound chip, and would use it when running previous generation carts) (Nintendo home consoles before the switch used PowerPC. The Nintendo 64 used MIPS)

I agree with you on the custom PC market, but that has to be pretty small compared to consoles.

Might be a minimum for a money library (not completely sure what the absolute minimum would be). It would be an application design choice to not use one and stick to general fixed point/Big Num constructs.

Ah, this is true, but it's weird consider this issue (that I agree google might be overstepping in) in a lawsuit that doesn't involve an affected OEM.

Exclusivity hasn't been true. eg F-droid can auto update apps.

> Google appears open yet is closed in practice

How is Android closed in practice?

Both games only really ripped off Nintendo's aesthetics, with not that much similarity in gameplay.

There's this, and also, trucker unions put a lot of pressure against rail.

Drive slow and don't go up curbs (there's generally people there!)?

Betteridge's law of headlines strikes again!

> Weirdly enough, there aren't even roads connecting the southernmost part of Chile to the north without taking a detour through Argentina,

Not that weird. The country pretty much becomes an archipelago + ice field south of Coyhaique.

Maybe if you don't consider CPU architecture, but most would expect to be able to do loops over Arrays that don't incur in a lot of cache misses, and Python Lists don't do that, since they're actually arrays of pointers to heap memory.

Yeah and no? Python Lists indeed don't make any sort of array-like guarantee, but they're implemented as a vector/autogrowing-array of python object references (but these objects are not guaranteed to be cache-local).

The implementation defines the underlying data structure as PyObject *ob_item

It really depends of when the expectation is set. Amazon right now has a combination of people hired when:

* Teams when working 5 days in office, but nobody checked (other than maybe your direct manager) and you could wfh if you needed it to

* Teams were completely remote

* Amazon was checking you came to the office 3 times in the week

* Amazon was checking you came to the office 3 times a week for a certain amount of time

And now the expectation is completely different to all of those. Again.
