You can now easily buy a Switch 2 without jumping through hoops

theverge.com Brandt Ranj 2026-02-18 03:00:00

Perhaps we’ve been thinking the same thing, you and I. That there won’t be a long-standing drought of Nintendo Switch 2 availability after all. The console has been easy to buy online from several retailers this week, including Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. Amazon, which didn’t sell the Switch 2 at launch, is currently selling it by invitation only. The console’s messy preorder process and spotty launch availability made it feel a little like late 2020 all over again, when the PlayStation 5, X

Talk about a missed opportunity. Horrible Timing Tesla massively missed the mark in the second quarter of this year, conceding this week that its automotive revenue fell a whopping 16 percent from last year, on top of last quarter's financial woes.

Why MIT Switched from Scheme to Python (2009)

Costanza asked Sussman why MIT had switched away from Scheme for their introductory programming course, 6.001. This was a gem. He said that the reason that happened was because engineering in 1980 was not what it was in the mid-90s or in 2000. In 1980, good programmers spent a lot of time thinking, and then produced spare code that they thought should work. Code ran close to the metal, even Scheme — it was understandable all the way down.

For too long, our processors have been stuck in a control flow model, constantly shuffling data back and forth between caches, memory, and compute units – a process I think we can all agree that burns significant energy at every step.
