I often try to do this, but it's rarely cheaper, and occasionally much worse. I recently bought a beach tent directly from the manufacturer, and when it showed up, it had a big Ama…

Sure, it's just a poor analogy. YouTube doesn't show up at your door unprompted as junk mail does. You go there intentionally for the purpose of watching a video. You can pay for t…

Heaven forbid someone pay for an online service they use and enjoy.

We finally gave up our Prius after 12 years, and we never changed the brakes once. The brakes were just peeking into the yellow on its last service upgrade. I was really impressed …

I really like the DE0-CV in particular for having the 7 segment displays and accessible buttons and switches. When I was first getting started in FPGA stuff, I spent a lot of time …

There's a ton of of dev boards out there, but I would say to be sure to get something with hardware buttons and LEDs, as it really helps with some of the Hello World level of thing…

Not the gp, but I used Duolingo quite a bit, and recently learned Spanish to an upper intermediate level. In my opinion, Duolingo is just as weak with pure reading as with spoken l…

Accessing the cart was as fast as accessing RAM, and you didn't have much RAM to go around, so I imagine there just wasn't much advantage to it.

Op's point is that the lower nominal voltage is the culprit in the battery's lower energy density. If you and I each have a 1 kg battery that stores 1 amp hour, but yours puts out …

Can I ask what the feature set looked like? I always kind of wanted to do this with the Skullgirls AI, but never had the time while we were developing it. As a developer, I obvious…

Is there a good reference for potential upgrades to old, obsolete-ish parts? I definitely understand that many of the old logic ICs, transistors, and op-amps have been displaced by…

I also made a VGA shield for my Nano! I got a couple pictures at https://mobile.twitter.com/dyselon/status/648020130471899136 That project is actually kind of what convinced me to …

The DE0-CV is a bit more expensive, but I think it's probably better than the Nano for the FPGA 101 type experiments. It's got more on the way of switches and LEDs, and the buttons…

SNES is a 12 bit shift register, as well.

The art in Skullgirls was done somewhat similar to the way the article describes in "Recoloring". Each frame was composed of three different images and each sprite had a palette al…

It's not particularly uncommon. Check out the mapper list at http://tuxnes.sourceforge.net/nesmapper.txt . All the 0k chr entries are carts that have chr ram. Just for funsies, I l…

Dolphin uses DirectInput on Windows, so basically anything works. If you're in the market for a PC gamepad, it's hard to go wrong with a 360 controller.

It's an ARM microprocessor and wifi module. It's powered via its USB port or whatever you hook up to the vin pin. It's basically another cheap embedded platform, but it's got built…

Ditto is one I recognize. That one is definitely a Pokemon.

It'd be kind of hard, as what makes up a "sprite" lives in two different places - one that stores all the tile data, and another that basically describes which tiles make up which …

Accidents already happen, and frequently. The question is "will these systems fail enough such accidents happen more often than they do now?"

I don't know about everyone else, but the print page still has an ad on it for me.

It seems weird that the NFL would complain about this when NBC already streams Sunday Night Football, their biggest game every week?
