This one creates a Flappy Bird clone by hand from within SMW, using the controller under ordinary manual control, on an original, unmodded SNES (with a couple or other standard controllers attached with buttons taped down). Explains the pro

All of these statistics are too generalised to be useful. People who fly in planes are generally not flying from every conceivable location on the globe to every other one in an even distribution and randomly using every type of plane avail

It's in the ToS, and there was a big hoo-haa over it at the time it was introduced. Eg: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8473580 Aside from that, the most basic understanding of what Spotlight is reveals there is

The calculator also has clickable bits in programming mode. Can be handy.

Just a heads up that everything typed into Spotlight is sent to Apple.

It's easy to make something multi-platform, but as many lone developers on all OS's have experienced, it quickly becomes a nightmare to maintain more than one platform. Given the ease of macOS GUI development to begin with, there

Wow, it's full colour with PCM music and looks like its only a 4.5MB zip download. Definitely way beyond any others. (For anyone unaware, the Sega Master System CPU was a Z80 @ 4Mhz, and the system had 8KB RAM and 16KB VRAM.) Video pla

Why are the examples and learning resources crossed-out?

Maybe a good example could be the recursion pattern in Elixir. This is considered almost a base element of the language. Typically in Elixir recursion and "guards", are used instead of things like for-loops and if-else statements

I'm only just starting with Elixir, but my impression so far is that I will be refactoring a lot less, due to the way Elixir encourages simple and elegant approaches to many of the common problems a programmer faces. In node for exampl

Let's not beat around the bush; it'd work on 90% of HN. (Myself included.)

This is exactly my point. When assessing research , the evaluation of a researcher should always be far, far secondary to the evaluation of the research itself. In the contrary case, which is a separate issue - that of hiring a scientist

If you're up for changing things based on one persons feedback, I loved the repo title and the gif, and in light of that and what's occurred I find the changed article deeply offensive. The experience of vocal minorities being tri

A better title might be: "How to write a 6502 disassembler in Python" In that light, it's a great, at times hilarious, article. (For example, the bit about self-modifying code is most elucidating.)

Because Flutter came from Google, I've never considered it. EDIT: to those downvoting, this is a serious, sincere question: I realise it's a UI framework, but are there any investigations into it phoning home/tracking users e
