The N64 controller had the shittiest everything Imaginable. GC wasn't much better, either, it was ergonomic for nobody. Wii was pretty bad too, you had to have an ergonomic condom for the wiimote, and the controller was too rounded. Since Famicom was kind of janky (though player 1 had a headphone jack) I'd say only NES and SNES were actually worth a crap. Neither one had any ergonomics, but neither did anyone else's controller until Genesis, Epyx aside.

I agree with all of that stuff, but there's also Biden going around congress to fund genocide, and Kamala saying she would be different from Biden but not saying she would stop the funding of the genocide. I can tell you that a whole lot of people were talking about that constantly, and stayed home because of it. That was fucking stupid, but we need votes from the stupid too.

Democrats have power but they absolutely despise using it

They love using it to crush actual progressives.

For that kind of money you could DIY something excellent, without compromise. Listening to sensors and controlling relays is pretty trivial stuff, and there must be lots of free thermostat software out there. You could literally do it with an Arduino Nano but I wouldn't, I'd probably use a Pi with their fancy display, or at the very minimum the new esp32. At that point you could do it a lot cheaper, but I'd rather have something I can log in to.

Comment CS != Coding (Score 1) 105

see subject.

Coding is to CS as math is to Physics.

Software engineering is building the supercolliders for physics.

Meanwhile we have LLM's declaring themselves Mechahitler.

Good job University of No Job Placement.

(yeah, some Universities have been giving CS degrees for HTML and MS Office)

We have record homelessness, addiction, child trafficking, and a curiosity about the earliest moments after the Big Bang, if that even exists.

Oh and not enough electricity for humans and AI aspirations.

Given limited funding we need to prioritize.

Cutting the War Department funding in half would be another good move.

By all means if this can be philanthropically endowed, like the Simons Observatory, that would be fantastic.

And where are the Oil Sultan countries on this? Muslims used to be the very best Astronomers in the world.
