I've heard it's possible, but it would be a substantially increased maintenance burden. You won't be able to put all your subdomains into the subjectAltName section of one certificate, and so you'll need to constantly re

Not if you have user-generated subdomains, or have subdomains that you don't want to advertise in subjectAltName, or simply just want the full power you used to have with HTTP to use any subdomain you want -- then you'll need a wi

The same way mobile Chrome and mobile Firefox do it: you tap the menu item and the :hover dropdown appears and stays there. Tap outside of the box to make it go away.

Yeah, exactly. Apparently mobile Safari is the only browser that refuses to support :hover CSS menus, and even though that's maybe 0.1% of my site's traffic, it almost concerns me enough to implement some elaborate workaround. Alm

That they do, and that's quite admirable (and important, since nVidia won't port their binary blob drivers; and nouveau doesn't run on OpenBSD either.) Out of the box ZFS boot is still more important to me than getting rid of

So then, there won't be Haswell graphics support out of the box on FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE? :(

Half-joking, half-serious, but ... how long before someone writes a YCbCr 4:0:0 video encoder that uses colorizebot on the resulting frames? Obvious use case being absolutely extreme video compression at substantial color accuracy loss. O

If you can run higan at 100% speed, then ZSNES has more lag than higan does (due to double buffering, polling only once per frame, etc.) For me, the issue with the OP is a) comparing to clone NES hardware, and b) it's subjective. Diffe

I think it's just barely possible for the fastest NES and GB emulators to use this trick for one single frame of lag reduction. Here, you have eight inputs (assumes one player on the NES.) But there's a trick: up+down and left+rig

I realize a lot of the 4096 states are extremely unlikely (especially Up+Down or Left+Right ... not physically possible on an unmodified controller); but if the inputs you predict end up wrong , then you have no choice but to run the frame

Yeah, scalers and OSDs are going to be the hardest things to give up. I will admit ... it's painful using my ZR30w with no scaler. I can't connect my PSP's component out to it, I can't hook up my Wii U, I can't conn

It would help even more, certainly. With really good setups, we're battling probably around ~100ms of latency when you combine everything I talked about together. If you were to do as you said, we could maybe drop another 10-20ms of th

The Raspberry Pi just isn't powerful enough for cycle-accuracy with the SNES. Maybe if a wizard like blargg attempted it by writing the whole thing in pure ARM assembly, but for mere mortals like myself, as awesome as it'd be, it&

Well, debatable on the C64 instance. Indeed, if you can manage to commercially market your design, then you could get a userbase in the thousands. But compare that to the millions of downloads something like Dolphin gets. And the ARM-based

Yes, the best thing that could happen to emulation latency reduction would be the creation of a skeleton OS framework. Something that piggybacks and can use existing Linux or BSD hardware drivers, but puts the emulator in kernel space and l

Good catch ... I didn't account for that in my article. In emulation, an audio stream is an infinitely long queue of audio samples, for which you can only have a certain amount of them known ahead of time (and that amount is itself a s

Thank you! I was really worried about the tone being too harsh or know-it-all. Wasn't really meant for audiences that weren't aware of the context. But as an emulator author, you get people presenting new zany latency reduction id

The integrated GPU really didn't need that kind of power, though. Anyone playing more than solitaire is going to get a discrete GPU anyway. They could have snapped up a smaller chipset maker for a tenth of the price. Instead they enter

I definitely want this system! But instead of cats, I want it to detect Fedex and UPS delivery drivers. And instead of turning on the sprinklers, I want it to ring my doorbell so that I know there's a package sitting on my front porch.

Yep. There's lots of scary warnings when buying even mini fridges that you can't operate it for at least 24 hours if the unit was rested on its side during transport to you.

Just a fair warning as someone who has made extensive use of this page in the past: many of these hacks often end up slower these days on modern CPUs than naive approaches. Especially the no-branch and no-multiply math ops. As always, be su
