I'm under the impression that VP9 is in the same generation with H265 (in terms of video size and encoding/decoding performance) but VP9 is free and open, so as a consumer, I'll ha…

I didn't take the test but it might involve sudoku. I remember taking a test of similar fashion some time ago, and the final (hardest) question completely threw me off. I got curio…

Pattern puzzles are good. I remember trying a test on the official Mensa website 10 years ago, and gave up midway because there were lots of word puzzles, which were biased in favo…

I think the answer is Berkshire Hathaway. But the problem is whether you can afford to buy one share.

If you do CSS you'd know the best fonts for 16px isn't the best fonts for 18px, and definitely not the best fonts for H1 H2 etc. The Verdana font that HN and reddit uses are pretty…

I just want to buy the shows I want to watch, and permanently own them under my Netflix account. I don't mind buying them for $30 a season. Just like Steam. Hey you know what? I th…

I'd call it "the best way to improve your Hearthstone ranking".

When I hear "isometric", I think "not perspective", which is a style I like a lot. For example, google image "isometric city". However, looking at the video on the OpenMW site, it …

Thanks, just to confirm: if you want the users to see nice colors out of the box (no matter what theme they use) without needing to customizing anything in their settings, then you…

It's a sad truth but for most of us, when it comes to "decide which status game to play", you're simply aiming for money no matter what you choose. Money is the overarching metric …

I haven't checked the Sublime package because I'm not very familiar with Sublime (anymore), but I have some experience developing VSCode themes. Did you need to use "tokens / scope…

I wonder if each server is an actual server from a tech standpoint. If not, isn't it a daunting name for new users? Before I became a user, for a long time I thought Discord was an…

In Shanghai, the largest city of China, a municipal regulation took effect on Mar 1, which states: 1. nobody is allowed to provide tattoo services to people under 18, and 2. withou…

It'd be great if the spec mandates some color coding.

The Windows UI in 1985 looked great. (So was the 1984 Macintosh)
