Why people recommend Analogue devices is beyond me.

Good news is a MiSTer device solves this problem, is infinitely more useful and is pretty affordable, even with inflated prices now.

Warning: slightly off topic I don't know if others are doing the same, but I'm trying to wean myself off of vscode/vscodium in favor of neovim. My main issues with vscode are bugs and performance. The vscode undo history co

Even if it isn't a bug, there's probably enough malicious stuff going on linked to these domains that it's justified. Even if the sites themselves are not producing malicious content, they are targeted by bad actors because t

I would vote for the Pentium IV for all the reasons mentioned in the article, but more importantly because it was initially coupled with Rambus memory. Intel pushed that tech so hard to try and squeeze out AMD. Super high frequency, high

It seems like the OP had/has an addiction to gaming videos (the only hint was something about esports). I think about this a lot... is all video content considered equal if you had a near addiction level affinity for it? Watching Fort

I've had good luck on this front, but I pay for Youtube, so the experience might be a little better.

I've been paying for Youtube for a few years now, so I have no idea what the ad situation is.

I'm using Google less and less in favor of Youtube. It's not always convenient to get answers in video form, but I'm finding it's better for more involved answers. Also, google is just littered with Answers/Quora&#

Yes. I use tamper monkey to write scripts for sites I visit frequently that have annoying popups, content blocks (like chat) and link-jacking (streaming sports sites).

This is a pretty rare game for that time that didn't have much of any pixel art... it was either scanned images or rudimentary 3d. I had no idea what it was when I downloaded it off a BBS and was pleasantly surprised by the visuals. I

I'm surprised they only lost $30m. The original packaging visuals were incredible and it got me to want to drink orange juice as a kid.

I've bought from GRUV once, it was an obvious bootleg so never again.

Me too, getting 90mpg was no joke. I would fill up once a month with a 2 hour daily commute.

The car was a Honda Insight... the original one from 2001, so there was nothing else like it. I think they probably felt only select customers were going to be interested in that niche car and that I had probably done my research so best t

In the early 2000's I was planning to buy a specific car. The salesman told me not to even think about for getting it under $20k. I came back the next day and told a different sales guy that I wanted the car for $16,750. He came back

So you are saying no scripted language is appropriate for the server? As far as I know, JS is extremely optimized and has no issues holding its own against Python.

You are correct, applying traditional education methods to online/home school is unlikely to work well. Concepts like "homework" are generally obsolete at the home school level. Independent learning replaces the antiquated

I've had to build too many carousels over my career working for a major publisher. No matter how good our architecture was, no matter how good our css was and no matter how good our JS optimization was, they all sucked. Carousels nee

I regularly play my Atari Lynx that I got for Christmas '89. Playdate looks like it would scratch that itch for really simple mobile friendly pixel art games with no added nonsense.

I tried Unity for a while for 2d game development and really hated the workflow, so I floundered for a couple years trying to figure out what path to take for some of my project ideas. I've shipped 2 games in Phaser, but did not like t

It seems like Unreal is a terrible fit for smaller projects where visual fidelity isn't a primary concern. Would I ever build a roguelike, city builder or 2d platformer in Unreal? Wouldn't something like Godot or Unity be a much

I wouldn't have expected anything less from Alex Jones. Now he has something to be truly paranoid about. Welcome to the OJ Simpson "hide my assets" club.

These types of "optimized" images are notorious for having viruses and other changes that compromise the entire system. Just disabling updates is a huge red flag. If this stuff bothers people, there are viable alternatives. Eve

I'm too lazy to read the article... which flavor of Linux are we talking about?

This is actually a good point... I have a very fast 16 core PC, but typing in Google Docs often has latencies. Everything in WP is instantaneous, even on my 6mhz 286.

I prefer CF cards because there's no signal conversion needed while SD card adapters needs conversion electronics. I'm not sure if the SD card adapters are any less reliable, but I've stuck to buying Startech CF adapters and
