They have - Retroarch has CRT shaders that emulate many of these effects (and I believe other emulators can also load the same shaders).

Right, it appears you can have multiple physical tamper-protected boxes that agree with each other, which makes it federated, but not decentralized.

No. The point of the Bitcoin blockchain is to provide ordering of transactions without a centralized timestamping service. This is a centralized timestamping service.

I agree. The title splash they gave is 584x360, which is well above what most people are used to as pixel art, and closer to the 640x480 of VGA PC games - where many had moved away from fully hand drawn pixel art. That aesthetic might still

Off-the-shelf in the context of electronics means that they didn't custom design some parts of it (for example using a SoC module rather than custom DDR layout), not that the parts are consumer rated.

One word missing from this product page is "Bluetooth". Do these use a proprietary wireless protocol that is only compatible with the iPhone?

The footnote says that it requires an iCloud account. Are these even Bluetooth? Maybe they always remain connected to your iPhone, and the other devices stream to the iPhone first.

In Bitcoin, these final nodes are called UTXOs (unspent transaction outputs), and indeed if you use chain pruning or a light client, they are all you need. They also need to be searched quickly to verify transactions, so they are usually ke

Bitcoin already has a p2p layer like torrents or IPFS that can quickly download the block chain from many peers. On a sufficiently fast internet connection you get limited by CPU speed verifying signatures.

This assumes you already know Block D is genuine. You can only know this if you have already verified all the previous blocks. You can prune them away afterwards, but you still must download and run computation over them once.

I would be very interested in an article about how people still shop and select music in these stores. Most doujin music artists post cross-fade previews on Soundcloud so you know what you want before going, but I don't think that'

Yeah, v8 is pretty famous for its lack of interpreter, though it looks like IBM is working on a port. You could also use the Chakra or SpiderMonkey ports.

That was my thought too. I guess it worked well for them, but it certainly wouldn't be my first choice. I wonder what the 10 custom instructions were? ARM licensed cores don't have an easy way to add instructions, but they do have

No, it still does - LZW assumes flat probabilities for each entry in its dictionary. After a while, both the encoder and decoder will know more accurate probabilities, but LZW has no way to take advantage of that.

No, that works fine, and Bitcoin Core uses reproducible builds signed by many different people. The post seems to be attempting to address the chain of trust of the PGP keys instead, but whether it succeeds at doing so is questionable. Cert
