The Worst-Selling Nintendo Console Ever Is Returning as a Switch 2 Accessory

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-09-26 23:51:25

Nintendo is bringing back the most underrated hardware in its storied history as an accessory for the Switch 2. The recreated Virtual Boy still has the classic kickstand and faceplate. However, instead of sporting its own screen, you’ll need to slot in your Switch 2 to create the classic black and red “3D” visuals. At first glance, the new Virtual Boy appears like a pitch-perfect remodel of Game Boy creator Gunpei Yokoi’s odd kickstand-based console. The main difference is that there’s no scree

Jef Raskin’s cul-de-sac and the quest for the humane computer

Consider the cul-de-sac. It leads off the main street past buildings of might-have-been to a dead-end disconnected from the beaten path. Computing history, of course, is filled with such terminal diversions, most never to be fully realized, and many for good reason.

VPNs and Age-Verification Laws: What You Need to Know

wired.com Jacob Roach 2025-09-27 16:30:00

The problem is how the verification happens. You aren’t verifying your age with the government. You’re routing it through an independent third party, and most of the laws on the books are designed specifically in this way. In the UK, for example, Reddit verifies with Persona, and Bluesky uses Kids Web Services (owned by Epic Games). Persona’s privacy policy states that it collects not only biometric information and personal details, like your ID, but also ties that to information gathered from

Randomly selecting points inside a triangle

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-28 06:29:33

If you have a triangle with vertices A, B, and C, how would you generate random points inside the triangle ABC? Barycentric coordinates One idea would be to use barycentric coordinates. Generate random numbers α, β, and γ from the interval [0, 1]. Normalize the points to have sum 1 by dividing each by their sum. Return αA + βB + γC. This generates points inside the triangle, but not uniformly. Accept-reject Another idea is to use an accept-reject method. Draw a rectangle around the triangl
