It is no myth. Go try a Windows 2000 system and compare it to today. Windows 2000 will respond a lot faster (often instant), even on complex applications.

One of my favorite parts in The Art of Computer Programming is when Knuth goes into alternative numeric bases. He makes mention there of "base 2i" as well, though he details it in a much older paper: https://dl.acm.org&

The reason terminal-land is like this, is precisely because the wheel has been reinvented a few hundred times. Basically XKCD 927, perpetually.

Capabilities wise, it was identical to the original Game Boy. Just four shades of gray for games to draw in. Externally: smaller unit, better battery life, higher contrast screen, new link port (yay adapters for connecting to the original G

That's basically the niche that companies like Analogue are exploiting. I'm sure it'll forever be a niche market, but it's nice that someone caters to it. :)

The DS can't play GBC games at all, it doesn't have the Z80 CPU from that console to even provide backwards compatibility. Nintendo also removed it from the Game Boy Micro, making it a GBA-only console.

"Generations" is a fairly subjective term all things considered, and I basically acknowledged it by saying these things are fuzzy. As the sibling post mentions, they all have exclusives, however, which is something Sony has refuse

There are a handful of more New 3DS exclusives than there were DSi exclusives. Both revisions failed to garner enough market for developers to try to target them.

The problem is deliberate hardware choices. They may be reasonable choices, but if Nintendo wanted to prioritize forever backwards compatibility, we could still have a GameCube-compatible disc drive and GBA and DS compatible catridge slots.

Yeah, the SNES uses a 65816, which is pretty much a backwards-compatible and 16-bit extension of the 6502, used in the NES. The SPC is likewise capable of nearly perfectly reproducing the NES's audio capabilities, and the PPU has the s

I know, and you can basically restore full GameCube compatibility on the Wii U via Nintendont. Neither of them let you use the actual physical games from the old system, and needing to perform jailbreak hacks to use them and load ROMs on an

Nintendo has tended to maintain at most 1 generation of backwards compatibility, though you can get some fuzzy ideas of "generations" in a few cases. Game Boy Color: plays original Game Boy games Game Boy Advance: plays Game

To be fair, RAID5/6 don't have parity disks either. RAID2, RAID3, and RAID4 do, but they're all effectively dead technology for good reason. I think it's easy for a lot of people to conceptualize RAID5/6 and RAID-Zn

It still seems pretty minor. If you want extreme optimization, feel free to destroy the pool and create it new, or create it with the ideal layout from the beginning. Old data still works fine, the same guarantees RAID-Z provides still hold

by chungy 2y ago
I'm not sure that's really a caveat, it just means old data might be in an inoptimal layout. Even with that, you still get the full benefits of raidzN, where up to N disks can completely fail and the pool will remain functional.

Card counting is largely defeated by adding more and more decks to the shuffle. Once you get to a 6-deck shoe, it becomes very difficult to use card counting to successfully "beat the odds".

Windows Vista introduced a wim-based method of installing where it effectively unpacks a whole prebaked installation image onto the hard disk. It is the X:\Sources\install.wim file on the install DVD. I'm not surprised that you can mix

Maybe the author likes it this way. People can have preferences that differ from your own.
