Thanks for the hat tip. I was surprised it actually happened. That being said, the AD probably described the culture as a positive just to be nice. Brady retiring saved him a giant headache.

Getting a CD on the N64 would have allowed for some cooler videos in the middle of the game (and would probably have made things cheaper for developers), but, in my opinion, the thing that really killed the N64 is the tiny (4k) texture cache combined with high latency RAM on the system.

That’s why N64 games have a “look” that can be easily identified.

Brady Hoke at San Diego State would like you to throw his name into the hot seat section. After going 12-2 in 2021 (w/ a good defense and the punt god), they are 10-11 over the past 2 seasons, and regressing quickly. Their most recent game ended with a 0-6 loss to Nevada, which hadn’t won since Sept 2022 and was second to last in points allowed. There is a brand new stadium that they are struggling to fill. His buyout of ~$5 million is probably too much for them to afford, but that seat is certainly hot.

I think there business model was to make money by running a recruiting service. In theory, prospective employers could see how well you really know a topic based on your answers.

I'm curious who you'd want to better represent people from West Virginia? Trump won the presidential vote ~69% to ~30% in 2020 (and by a similar margin in 2016). If Manchin retires, he's going to be replaced by a MAGA republican. Even though he is far to the right of the typical Democrat, he's really the best the Democratic party can hope for from that state

Part of me thinks that the point. He’s never coaching in college again with these accusations. So, my guess is that he is trying to make this as ugly and costly as possible in order to get Michigan State to pay a large percentage of his remaining contract in order to shut him up.

That tank is probably the only place in the world where penguins swim with leopard sharks! 😂

I mostly have the same experience. I did a Xamarin.Mac app to port some windows code to the Mac. In some senses, it was amazing, because most of the business logic just worked and that saved a bunch of time. The UI was app kit, but with c# to obj-c bindings. That also mostly worked, however, when something broke, it really broke and was incredibly difficult to debug.

There are some use cases I’d recommend Xamarin for still, but the majority of cases are probably best solved by writing native code directly. (Or at least using a portable language such as C, C++ or Rust for cross platform business logic)

There is a bit of trickiness to the NACS announcements. They are using the NACS physical connector with CCS signaling. So if EA or EvGo or ever release a NACS connector, you’ll need that CCS module to get electricity

I just want to be able to buy a CCS retrofit for my model 3. Hopefully that gets released soon

I’m excited that it has 4 Ethernet ports that are faster than 1gbps. However, I’m less excited about the price. You’d really need to have some use cases that requires WiFi 7 to justify paying $599 for an access point!

Technically, I think the ability to sign enterprise apps (ie. Apps that can be side loaded for your company) cost $399/year.
