Trust your instincts as a child the C64 pallette was and remains horrible.

That page describes the PS2 as technically superior to the Dreamcast. Ah yes, all those technically superior jaggy polygons.

I was a slow runner just running for fitness. Back 15 years ago when I had just started running my one mile time was 7 minutes 30 Seconds running in my old trainers that I had lying around. I then bought a pair of 'mundane' runnin

Google Flights lack inventory (as they are powered by a GDS so anyone not filing to that GDS will be missing) and to get their incredible speed they cache and calculate prices which results in frequent pricing misses as well.

Google is eating the travel industry. Search for anything travel related and you get pages of Google products and advertising widgets before you get to the first organic result. The change over the last 5 years is huge.

It's not the loss of Flash per se (as there are plenty of rapid game making tools targetting HTML5 about) it's the complete collapse of the supporting infrastructure. Mochi Media closing was huge. I went from getting a steady tric

You control every clock cycle on an embedded controller. You are at the mercy of the OS on a Pi. For somethings that doesn't matter at all, for others it really, really does.

100% does not work for me. Tried the various things suggested in the twitter thread and I always end back at the "get the app" page.

The point is that C has no concept of caches. Yet efficient cache usage is crucial to writing performant low level code. So what C programmers have to engage in cargo culted patterns to try and trigger the correct behaviour from their optim

The problem is not you the reporter. The problem is the automated Amazon system that processes your report and the obviously fucked up way it operates. It is abuseable as all hell as demonstrated in the replies to the tweet. Even when not

Oh balls, just realised I misread the comment about cost per meter as cost per mile so my calc is hilariously wrong! Still the reported cost of the road at the tune excludes machinery and labour costs, it was purely material costs.

According to the article it cost $4600 a day to build. On a 8 hour work day on federal minimum wage that's only 52 workers being able to work on the entire project ignoring all machine and material costs. Too right it couldn't be

'Flow' is the faddiest word in Software Development right now. My entire company has managers talking about flow and rearranging time so that Engineers can flow etc. It completely ignores that masses of people do not work effectiv
