This seems very naive, since afaik the mods also deal (thru 3rd party apps) with the large amount of spam that reddit gets. And, of course, who is going to deal with those reports?
I mean, sure, Reddit could just turn into the top 20 or 30 most popular subreddits, hire some offshored mods, and start the content moderation speedrun[1] anew. But, why? And how bad will it get before the IPO? Reddit has spent the past two decades washing their hands of any moderation tasks, as their first party mod tools show. Starting now, with a pissed off power user base, seems suicidal.

They did, originally. They released a $10, no microtransactions Mario game (Super Mario Run) in 2016. The general consensus is that the game did not live up to Nintendo's commercial expectations[1], and I think that's true. Nintendo entirely switched to the more standard App Store game model for its later mobile titles, and they print money.
As for "tarnishing the brand," Nintendo still hasn't really put a "full title" on mobile, with the maybe possible exception of Mario Kart. It feels like they are still keeping their distance, but who knows what would have happened if the Switch sales were more like the Wii U than the Wii.

> However, an additional control was undertaken where colour contrast thresholds were measured in the morning and then re-measured 3 h later without exposure to 670 nm. This comprised of ten subjects (six Females and four males). To determine if there were significant shifts in colour contrast sensitivities across the day that were independent of 670 nm and might undermine outcome measures for their exposure, six subjects were repeatedly tested at 0, + 3, + 6 and + 9 h (four Females and two Males).
Figure 2 shows the (lack of) effect in the no-light control group at T0 and T+3hrs. Interestingly, they don't compare to baseline like in figure 1 with the AM light group. However, Figure 4 does show a lack of training effect when repeating the same test 4 times throughout the day within the same subject.
(Also, interesting that your first response to a paper in Nature is that they don't have a control group...)
Edit: And presumably they took the design of their study into account when calculating their statistics (https://www.stat.cmu.edu/~hseltman/309/Book/chapter14.pdf). Their methods seem to imply that, but I'm not familiar with it so I'll pray the reviewers checked for that lol.

I dunno; I'd imagine people would be mad if there was a 15ms ping differential in Melee. I think the online/netplay tournament results are already looked at different than offline, console results.
Moreover, I'm pretty sure that you can't have a differential ping in a P2P game with rollback, so the competitive issues are different between the two scenes. I understand Riot wanting to equalize them. In Melee specifically, I think that the players have to decide on a common frame delay to play, right? If so, then the Melee community has come to the same solution for competitive netplay as Riot has.
The wonders of C constants. Sometimes IDO can do the conversion at compile time, and sometimes it can't. But, the compiler will treat things "0.0f" and a compile-time "(f32)0.0" as different constants for code-gen purposes.
We have a kinda outdated document of weird IDO behavior which is worth a read if you want to trigger some PTSD: https://hackmd.io/vPmcgdaFSlq4R2mfkq4bJg#Compiler-behavior
Also, since SGI/MIPS/IDO was from Stanford (I think...?), there is actually a surprising amount of published papers on IDO's compilation model. Which comes in handy if you are trying for the ultimate joke of decompiling the written-in-pascal compiler into C: https://github.com/n64decomp/ido
I thought his snark wasn't too off the charts in this video. I'd bet it's more a cultural thing. If you were working on the N64, you're probably like two decades above Kaze's target audience for his youtube videos haha. Like, he said that you can either be a weirdo who spends all day optimizing nearly 30 year old source code, or someone who "touches grass"[1]. He, of course, was referencing his own lack of life, not Nintendo's programmers. But, you'd have to pretty familiar with current online memes and insults to get his joke.
> I have not seen the Mario 64 source but I imagine some of the lowest level code was written in mips assembly but has been decompiled into C.
No, we only decompiled C code back into C code. The decompilation matches 1 to 1 with the released ROM images.[2] iirc, the only, non-libultra ASM code was the decompressor[3]. The C code was pretty obvious due to "wonders" of IDO -O0 optimization. We were forced to get surprisingly close to what Nintendo wrote. We were stuck with an `f32 [3]` 3-vec instead of a `struct`...
> I suspect the debug flags in gameplay code were to avoid compiler bugs.
As far as we could tell, this wasn't an issue. IDO 5.3 had no issues that we could find when compiling at -O2, but then again it was decompiled code. I personally subscribe to the '-O2 -g' IDO meme, but Giles Goddard thought it was out of fear of the unknown. So, I'd trust him.
We had the `mulmul` patch for IDO. I don't know the chronology for the release of that patch to devs, though. We also haven't been able to find any N64s that have the mulmul issue.
> An NTSC tv runs at 60Hz, you either hit 60fps or 30fps, anything in-between results in horrible tearing of the screen or your frames bounce between 60 and 30 and movement feels horrific.
I wonder what Kaze is doing. I know that there was work on a variable framerate mod/revamp for SM64. I'd guess it'd be outputting at the N64's 60 fps mode with duplicated frames, but you'd have much better luck asking one of the modders/coders who were working on that a couple years ago.

As you might guess, it's hard to distinguish between a "pump" and general interest in something. And, of course, each probably does feedback into other.

Unfortunately, Apple no longer sells the LG Ultrafine 5K [1], and no one knows if LG is even going to restock them.[2] So, you'll have to find one used, and you'll have to hope that LG continues to service this incredibly flaky series of monitors when you inevitably run into an issue.
On the flip side, if you don't care about the pixel density, you could have bought any of the low res gaming monitors, or 4k 28" monitors, or whatever other ultrawide, low PPI monstrosity the market has coughed up in the past eight years. They've been waiting this long for a reason.
You are stuck choosing between those modern features you listed and a >200ppi display. That is the state of the market right now. Until Apple solves this issue and charges you like $3,000 for the privilege later this year.[3]

The same people are saying that the mini is toast for the iPhone 14. It's gone. Maybe Tim Cook will do his Tim Cook thing and reuse the mini form factor as the next SE for the next half decade, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Of course, then another team started a Minish Cap project, and now the name is a bit out there.
He also reported that the loudest fan noise he could get was 38dB, with typical loads under 30dB. [2]

So, roughly assuming that you could compile WebKit 10 times before the laptop runs out of juice, that'd give you 4 hours 10 minutes of battery life.

Most of the other "assembly" files are for data, like the level scripts. It's not assembly of machine code.
You could try to put those into C, but you're not gaining much--assuming that it's even something that can be represented in C without a bunch of fancy compiler specific tricks. You'd be better off creating a DSL or a custom program suite, which is probably what Nintendo was doing 25 years ago.
Otherwise, you are right: the majority of the work left is to document the functions, to organize the code so that it's easy to mod and play around with, and to provide high level documentation on the systems/how the decomp was made. You wouldn't want anyone to think that all you have to do to decomp something is to run a binary through IDA, right?
Plus, there are more released versions of SM64, and who knows what's in there?
