This would be amazing for Nintendo DS emulation

To stretch out the metaphor, asking a knowledgeable coworker could be "read from RAM", then documentation could be "read from disk"; or vice versa. But I find having someone to bou…

Not op, but I bought one. It's essentially a Linux laptop with a control interface built in. For emulators and steam games, it's really nice to have an option to play on the tv (wi…

It mostly comes down to the fed, and their response to inflation. If you think their response will reign inflation in check, we'll probably see the market 'crash' and a recession l…

I think for something this checking the source for the generation algorithm is fair game. here it is: function randomInt(n) { return Math.floor(Math.random() * n); } function rando…

The movie title is: "Anger Management", starring Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler

I'd say it depends on what you're shooting. I have a d5600 and Z5. The Z5 is better for baby pictures. The d5600 is still better for hiking and travel pictures. The Z5 is better un…

There's a song titled "Jumping Frenchmen of Maine" by the instrumental post-rock band "El Ten Eleven". They're my goto coding music

heh, good luck finding a house worth less than 30% of your net worth.

Everyone is hesitant to make change because "it's going to cause too much economic impact". If someone demonstrates that it's possible to change without screwing over their economy…

For me, the biggest benefit of the university structure was 1) teaching me things I didn't even know existed and 2) teaching me things I didn't think we're important (but turned ou…

This is the voting mechanism used in the game "Civilization VI" (Gathering Storm expansion), if you are interested in checking it out

my guess is that people that are well off (rich) still have their income stream. A lot of tech workers, CEOs, etc are working from home. It's poor (or middle class) people (working…

I just looked it up and turns out that's my favourite stroke! I didn't know it had a name, I just called it the "Jellyfish" :) I don't think I was ever taught it. I think I just di…

The main reason its only for illegal activities right now is because (for almost every case) it provides no advantage over using a credit card. The biggest problem is the user now …

A lot of people mention therapy. If you need specific recommendations, I am close friends with a therapist in Toronto that is starting up her own practice: personal page (WIP): htt…

this is from 2017, should likely be noted in the title.

> From a certain perspective, the internet and the web as we know them (including fundamental technologies such as DNS, TCP/IP, HTTP, SMTP, and even Javascript) are flawed in funda…

No, by cycles they mean charge cycles. 2-3 times a week is 166-250 weeks. About 3-5 years of active use.

my understanding was that it was in administrative limbo. Britain owned Hong Kong, and China claimed authority over just to spite them. So Britain left it alone. But China didn't c…

Dumb question: with the first example (twilight), wouldn't raising the exposure in post be functionally equivalent and have the same amount of noise? You are taking the same signal…

I think that's the implication. Earlier they had demos of YouTube integration, so i imagine they would have demo's or some way to play before buying (?)

This headline is misleading. The $130 is for the "Founders Edition", which is an early access with additional hardware (controller + 4k chromecast). The $10 a month is for 4k acces…

For anyone else looking into Rust, I've been experimenting in it for the past month. Heres my thoughts: It advertises itself as a systems level language for the new age, but to me …

I've had spruce beer on a few occasions and it's exactly what it sounds like. Bubbly liquid spruce. If you peel a few needles off of a Christmas tree and chew on them, you'd get th…
