Your vote only matters in swing states. The whole electoral college thing is fucked.

Phones are powerful enough to emulate those devices via software

Looks like Luigi got another flag to reach

The theory is that on-prem includes a lot of ancillary costs like a team of staff for maintenance (or cost for outsourcing it), hardware maintenance/upgrades, cybersecurity, dealing with failures, backup, load balancing, multi-region/multizone etc.

I don't think cloud solves all these issues necessarily and I am convinced if you do the calculations cloud ends up being more expensive depending on the scale. I think you really pay the premium for convenience, speed (of getting things going) and user experience (the software)

From my understanding the repos wouldn't include the keys (or if they did then they definitely shouldn't). But yeah I understand the long legal battle thing.

What gives them the right to take down emulators? It's just code someone wrote that happens to be able to interpret bytes from a switch cartridge?

Why wouldn't they take down a company like analogue for example for making a hardware level gameboy emulator?

I took a shit

I don't mind the graphics that much, what really pisses me off is the lack of optimization and heavy reliance on frame gen.

Software which displays pixels and outputs sound when given data from a game cart, coincidentally.

It's hard to figure out what he's talking about , when he says the "whole social security database". Like in which tables are they duplicated? Does it mean the entire row is duplicated or just the SSN, it might make sense to be duplicated depending on the schema. Is it an append only db, so there might be updated columns on the same ssn and you need to filter by the latest update timestamp? Who knows.

But also, saying that there's a "social security database" and then following that up by the govt "doesn't use SQL" so.. the db is actually just a spreadsheet? A .txt file? The SSNs are just written down in someone's notebook? Lol

I'm not defending the design choice perse, just giving you the things needed to be considered that goes into making such designs.

Well many of China's websites don't even use HTTPS. Look at china.org.cn, or en.people.cn for example
