What about the Capital One extension which was doing the exact same thing?

Hence other extensions like uMatrix and "Cleaner Fandom" extension.

Because of my heavy adblocking and other extensions that make nasty sites look perfectly clean and usable, I often forget that other people don't see the same website that I do.

"Twice the speed of the GBC" is a bit misleading. Clock rate of the ARM7TDMI is indeed around double the GBC (GBA runs at 16.78Mz, while GBC runs at 8.4MHz), but cycles-per-instruction is far lower on the GBA's ARM7TDMI than

Memory map is wrong, VRAM is its own 96KB, and does not incoroporate the palettes or OAM.

What do you mean "No more HDMA tricks"? GBA literally does DMA transfers that are automatically carried out at the horizontal-blanking interval. It's just encoded differently than how the SNES did it - no scanline numbers,

Span<T> is a "ref struct" type, and thus has a lot of restrictions on its use. For instance, you can't have one as a field or property in a class, so you can't assign it to outside of the scope that it was declare

The call to "memcmp" has overhead. It's an imported function which cannot be inlined, and the marshaller will automatically create pinned GC handles to the memory inside of the arrays as they are passed to the native code. I

Some GPUs don't have scanout, such as Laptop GPUs that pipe pixels through the iGPU. Those fully power off when they're not in use.

ReactOS is too buggy to be used as a daily driver for your operating system, but it's awesome as Windows Kernel reference code. You want to know what a Kernel-mode function does? Ether read the documentation, or look at what ReactOS

Using something like this would keep the GPU powered on and unable to shut itself off.

Windows Vista/7 screwed up file associations badly, you can do far less with them than you could under Windows 95. Under Windows 95, you could customize the right click menu for any file type, and add all your favorite programs to tha

I prefer Tab-Separated. Its problem though: No tabs allowed in your data.

You need "C" to be the symbol for the speed of light to make the joke from Animanics work.

Yeah, without the latency regression, it probably would have gone undetected much longer. Using a secondary thread and spreading the CPU load over a few seconds would have made it not even register as a spike in CPU usage.

If you deleted /lib, you'd probably be better off reinstalling packages while booting off of USB or something. You're gonna have downtime because programs won't work correctly.

I think the multiple N-bombs in the tape were the much bigger problem.

You mean why is nobody making arrangements to put their own server into thousands and thousands of ISP datacenters?

"E-bikes produce virtually no greenhouse emissions after manufacturing" Except for the electricity to charge it, which could either come from clean or dirty power. True about the lack of exhaust though. Then it leads to the quest

There was the tarpit that sends out markov-chain-generated random words, loading very slowly . If the client has a limited number of concurrent requests, that could theoretically choke the client.

Anyone know how to get the Resynthesizer plugin working in Gimp? It works in version 2, but I can't get it working in version 3.

Tagged files are too useful. 4 byte tag name, 4 byte length of the object, then the binary data of the object. You see these all the time. Sometimes you see the size before the tag name. Occasionally, you also see a file header, followed

It's also detecting when a file on DOS/Windows is opened in "ASCII mode" rather than binary mode. When opened in ASCII mode, "\r\n" is automatically converted to "\n" upon reading the data.

Even Zig which is extremely against "Hidden control flow" (so no operator overloading, etc.) added in the "defer" feature.

Highjacking the return address can only be done if you know you actually have a return address, and a reliable way to get to that return address. Function inlining can change that, adding local variables could change that, omitting frame p

The original purpose of the registry was to tell COM where to look for a DLL file given a GUID. Then COM could create instances of objects. You still see that in there with HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. You can technically create objects without the

What we really need is a device switcher on the headphones. Something like a simple 4-position switch, to pair with device A, B, C, or D.

It's too bad that his most recent game (Funko Fusion) was a failure.
