    Now I want a scavengers' guide to identify machines that might have a compatible microprocessor within them, because I haven't seen a Commodore or Apple II in a long time. Arcades …

    It's a little frustrating to me that the paper breaks out major chains as the big contributing factors, but doesn't analyze the remaining bucket. If possible I'd like to see the re…

    Congratulations, that is a roaring success I daydream about all the time! I think you've already answered a lot about your development journey, so I want to ask about the post-rele…

    If you get stuck there between ~10PM (the last train back to Hachioji that could connect to Shinjuku) and 11PM (or midnight if you can spare the change for the limited express), yo…

    The reproducible build requirement seems to be a major blocker for many addons, including one I use for Twitch: https://github.com/FrankerFaceZ/FrankerFaceZ/issues/1495#iss...

    Anime has had no shortage of adaptations disrespectful of the original. Most of the time it's due to not having enough source material like HBO GoT, which somehow sent Fullmetal Al…

    That's still a lot more predictable than my human cashier experience. I wish I didn't have to dread being held up by the only cashier in store holding a riveting conversation with …

    I will gladly do the work myself if it means not being stuck behind people chatting up the cashier or doing complicated coupon/return/exchange/gift card transactions. The value is …

    You can have surface or elevated heavy rail too. I never understood this fascination with modern light rail.

    That's definitely a concern. Players call getting stuck by others' checks "BK'd" because a player once went out to get Burger King and returned before they got unwalled. But I thin…

    TLDR context: a randomizer shuffles around game items/skills and even game areas such that the game is completed in a different order. Archipelago shuffles those things among diffe…

    It's too bad that the portable display mode doesn't support touch. That was what stopped me from getting one.

    I think this stuff (Termux, Winlator, etc.) is a lot more developed and popular than you think. There's GPU acceleration through VirGL so some older games seem to work alright. I'v…

    You don't have to download a new podcast app because you could just play it through Bluetooth. CarPlay and AA probably wouldn't even exist if it weren't for car vent phone holders …

    I wonder if they have stats that indicates repeat travelers (who are more likely to stop by those small villages) are less likely to purchase JR Pass, even when it was cheaper. Ane…
