   I'm confident the distribution I use isn't trying to collect, catalogue and sell my private info, or lock me into a service or product. So far it doesn't interfere with what I want in any way. So yes I trust my distribution.

   I enjoy having a machine that ultimately I control. You just can't get the same level of control with Windows, Mac, Android or iPhone. You constantly have to wrestle your wants with the wants of the platform venders. A key area where t

   This is true. It may not be a truth people in professional circles like to here. But PCs used to be mass market consumer products in the 90s (during the internet boom) but now Smartphones, tablets and in some cases set top boxes have taken

    I don't think I'm understanding you. What tools ensure you get the same level of quality on the user's setup? Things are always different on the user's hardware/system.

    OK use what ever distribution and monetisation strategy you want. The point was that you are not restricted to serving your files from a online server or making money via ads/microtransactions just because you are using the Web.

    You don't have to use JavaScript. (See emscripten, binaryen etc.) The Web is basically just a runtime you don't have to host your files on a server if you don't want. You can distribute them via CDs if you prefer. Also you ca

    I'd hope Nintendo has copy of Super Mario Bros. in their possession. Since they made the system that read the cartridges in the first place. Modding it to dump ROMs shouldn't be much trouble

    I want to know why wouldn't Nintendo put the effort into doing their own ROM dumps?

    As Japan didn't have Atari it was also a cold market. But that's not really the point. The point is that if the NES was launched with the market conditions that we have today there'd have likely been several times a many cons

    The NES also is an outlier since it launched in a cold market (video game crash of 1983). Also, the NES launched slowly across the United States starting with New York. (Contrast to today's international launches) Plus they had several

    That's not really what they mean. Introvert means focused internally. As in you're oriented around what's happening in your head. Extrovert means focused externally. As in you're oriented around what's going on outs

    I believe ad networks (that rely on third-party scripts and cookies) days are numbered thanks to adblocking. The only ads I see surviving long term are affiliate links, sponcered content and static native ads. The problems with ad networks

    In the past working on a large c++ codebase I've tried using a debugger to get an understanding on how a function gets called. Even the debugger fails when you come across indirect calls. Also in gdb multiple threads make it easy to mi

    I believe they would've been much better off if they abandoned their Meego and Maemo platforms and doubled down in Symbian. Symbian was still going strong and cutting off in favor of Windows phone was obviously bad for their customers.
