The GP meant that they postulate a meaningful percentage within the scope of people who emulate don’t own the game they emulate.

In fairness, early BG very much aligns more with speed metal, which is a fairly close sibling to thrash. It was that vector that got me into them more than my latter appreciation for power metal in all its bombastic soaring-vocal glory.

Containers and first-party isolation in FF are my killer features. Echoing your comments to the GP post, that didn't exist a decade ago and is genuinely one of the best improvements they've made in that time.

Finamp is another iOS app which, importantly for me, supports offline playback via downloading locally.

My ISP-supplied router tries to ping back to some “AI driven wifi analytics” bullshit every 30 seconds. I put in a custom block for that. My TV would also probably love to phone home if I connected it to wifi to use the applications on it

Bad quality scissors will invariably suck for lefties because the grip of a left hand pushes the blades apart, vs. with a right it pulls them together. Scissors are my #1 gripe as a leftie too. I use the mouse with my right because the rest

That's true; now thinking about it I also remember it from very-desktop-based Anno 1800. The quick-shortcut menu for the mouse (to build a shortlist of buildings, etc.) is a pie menu.

Counter Strike: Global Offensive used a similar concept for its round-start buy menu because of needing to support console controllers. You can see an example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogVy0S_jVXU Interestingly,

I suspect this is a third-party supplier who is trying to keep old Siemens driver interface systems limping along. Bold, as when we tried that it was nearly impossible to do so - the OEM had too much of a stranglehold over the design.

Interesting that Siemens seem to still be willing to support a Win 3.11-based system for at least one operator. That said, this looks like it's a third-party doing that work but Siemens must be tacitly allowing the third party to try t

Humans are special for two reasons: you can’t clone them infinitely, and they are time-bound. If I learn to write news articles by reading the NYT, I’m not then able to duplicate myself infinitely and fill every role at every news publisher

This is precisely what I desperately wanted to find. Alas, my multi-decade wait continues.

Winkey-fullstop is the Windows shortcut. It’s close enough.

This feels exactly like back in the early 2000s when I used to physically rip the windows key off my keyboard because I’d accidentally hit it when playing a game and it’d mess everything up.

I broke out my OG beige brick Gameboy and pokemon red about 5 years ago. I swapped out the dissolved acidic powder, cleaned off the terminals and threw in some fresh batteries before hitting the switch. For a moment, I was deeply disappoint

That is absolutely not it but sure, go off. The article covers improvements to various systems e.g. braking, wider doors, a fully walk-through carriage (consider how an end wall affects crashworthiness), additional headroom, as well as room

Reading a bit more into this, I'm still not sure whether the tunnels are actually continuing to meaningfully increase absent external changes to the system. Is it at a steady-state heat flux between the inputs (passenger, vehicles, inf

Ahhhh! "just" - the magic word! It is not ever 'just'. This isn't copying code. This isn't building identical silicon for multiple end users. This is more like trying to add additional threads to something that

It's more like budgeting at a home level, in that you have a set limit of heat that you can spend, and choosing to spend it less on equipment like brakes, traction motors, etc. and more on air conditioning means still remaining in budg

I'd far prefer them to do something about the ungodly flange squeal - TfL, grind your tracks!!! That's way more of a clear and present health risk to me than the heat.

That's the price of making complex, real-world hardware systems fail-safe. By fail-safe, I don't mean 'never fail' but, more literally, fail in a way that remains safe for all other systems interfacing with the failing o

Humans can’t automate and industrialise the process in the same way that AI can. That is to say, if I spend years learning how to write music and being influenced by a suite of prior artists, I can’t then package myself up and arbitrarily c

It’s absolutely pathetic that we as a species cannot bend our existence enough to navigate around a 500 year old tree during the process of slapping down some bitumen in the ground for our convenience.

‘Fake’ in this instance isn’t manufacturer B illegitimately cloning manufacturer A’s parts. It’s basically a failure of QA/QC processes being papered over. The computing equivalent would be where how CPUs which fail QA are binned to lo

How on earth do you prove that it’s to the same specs without paperwork underpinning that? What do you think “fake” means in this context? That the part is really a Loony Toons sketch of the real thing, stickytaped to the surrounding engine

Nonsense. I am currently positive as a result of a lateral flow test. It was a useful means of confirming what I had was indeed Covid (the dry cough was pretty tell-take) and so to take appropriate actions. They are absolutely not without s

It is vanishingly small relative to the false negative rate. It’s safe enough to say that if a test says you have it, you can act as if you it.
