If you're referring to my comparison, I'm talking about current gen titles. In fact, with this you can now play play cross-country with less input lag than Smash Ultimate offline
As to dev blogs, they have a medium[1] with some interesting posts, but nothing too recent, I hope they'll do one in time with all the new stuff.
On top of the rollback, something very notable they did was realising melee has 3 frames of input lag when running on native hardware, so they managed to remove them from Dolphin when running on 120hz screens. This allowed them to keep those frames as a delay buffer without actually having a real effect on gameplay.[2]

The way he implemented it is insane, he had to reverse engineer a way to generate arbitrary game states in game, as using dolphin savestates was not performant enough.
He's also added other amazing features, like in game matchmaking, or my favorite, being able to stream a game state through the Wiis ethernet port, so two players can be competing on original hardware while a stream setup upscales that footage in realtime to 16:9 4k through Dolphin, and also generates real time match stats, saves replays... Incredible stuff.

How has apple stopped catering this crowd? Let me give you my opinion.
The new macbook pro's main feature is one that is totally useless to professionals. The touch bar is an interesting idea for the casual user, but for anyone who uses any software professionally, it provides no value as it is much slower than keyboard shortcuts. Not to mention that the lack of tactile feedback means you need to look away from the monitor to use it.
The new design has force a redesign in the keyboard, giving it much lower travel, and it is now a lot more uncomfortable to use (this one in particular is quite subjective)
16GB is just not enough in the era of containers.
The price. It's just absurd and some of the most expensive features (TB) are just useless as I stated above.
This raises two issues: as a graduate, it would be hard to justify this visa unless I went to the US for a graduate degree, and it would not allow me to start long term career.
I would love to hear your thoughts about this, and thank you for your reply!
It seems impossible to get into the US at the moment, and my few attempts have failed. What should my expectations be in terms of getting a good company to accept to sponsor a visa in the current circumstances? Thank you very much for your AMA.
I would also add that university in general, is more about approaching new and hard topics, and finding a good way to learn and digest them. In computer science you also get to do it facing fascinating topics like lambda calculus or the mathematics behind cryptography.
I feel passwords used to be thought of as a combination of characters that you keep in your head, and should only leave your head when being entered in a password field. Preventing paste discourages storing your password in a file called passwords.txt, and accidentally pasting it somewhere else as well.
Of course, we now understand passwords should have some qualities (larger alphabet, avoid common words/phrases as your passwords) which go against ease of remembering, so we now use passwords managers and other tools.
So this behaviour is probably and old common practice that most people used without knowing why and that's why we still see it even if its outdated and harms security in the end
In my opinion what's really missing is a fiat currency token, that can be legally recognised as actual money for a lot of business to be able to go massive.
