    Didn't expect a stealth ad at the end there.

    Same. I haven't seen this. And I hope I never do unless I specifically click a button to enable it.

    Well, today I learned something. I've gotten my phone stuck in this mode (half of the screen hidden below the bottom edge) and just assumed it was an iOS bug.

    I think your UI could use some work, funny enough. But I like the concept, it's just that the way the page and "game" works is not exactly clear.

    Loadstar (a C64 magazine) for me is still the gold standard for magazines on disk. Every issue was a pleasure and so well put together.

    That was my experience. For the recent rerelease I took my kids to see it for the first time in the theater. And we were treated to 20 minutes of spoilers before the movie started.…

    These are what I miss most about my years living in Japan. I made them for my kids a few weeks ago and they adored them. You can buy plastic-lined seaweed sheets to fold the rice i…

    Wouldn't it make more sense for the switch to pattern 2 prefix matching to ignore the repeated characters? So if the user typed LLA the prefix matched would be LA (ignore the first…

    Too true! For a recent video project I wrote a 300 line bash script to generate the ffmpeg arguments needed to accomplish what I was after.

    In my case I'm working with very large uncompressed video. Files that are 1 hour and 300+ GB in size. I tried using Kdenlive but it choked. I'm not saying the CLI is easy to learn,…

    ffmpeg is such a joy to use, once you make it over the very steep learning curve. I'm making some youtube videos where I play through Demon's Souls flipping a coin to decide to equ…

    Looks great! Just had a go and the "physics" are off, at least compared to the original Boulderdash. Roughly 20 years ago when I wrote a Boulderdash clone, there was a test level f…

    The amount of research I had to do to buy my mother a new television that would work for regular antennae television and not require internet access was just ridiculous.
