For the thousands of people in the MiSTer FPGA ecosystem, some of whom bought the hardware [0] as long ago as 2020, for well under $200 (it's more, now [1]), a featureful FPGA N64 core - developed by Robert Peip, who is paid, most woul

I take your point. I meant it in the context of an earlier poster - if not the title topic, itself - who drew a line between ketamine_as_medication and ketamine_for_fun, and implied that that recreational drugs as a form of depression thera

I don't mean this as a particular defence of Binance chain per se - and I realise I'm not directly answering your question either - but pedestrian everyday usage of no special note would, by its very nature, go entirely unremarked

Ha! Or Rule 34a, "every sufficiently observed phenomenon, has just become somebody's new fetish". Although actually, and on a slightly more innocent (but just as edgy!) note, the thing that immediately popped into my head upo

So too might think the bedroom musician of 20 years, who never performs or releases, or the childhood sportsperson who never touches a ball again after age 18. The runner who never races, the intellect which never teaches. Perhaps ultimatel

I wish the tree had not been felled. A very sad and poignant act. Also, as I pointed out in another conversation here, and in the name of reciprocal repetition will do so again here, it is quite easy to find reports of equally heartbroken

For reference, this is the original context: The title-linked reddit thread, in turn links to the following YT video, which is of the WWDC23 Apple Keynote speech of June 5. See below the link for a text transcript of that relevant excerpt.

Sounds cool. I don't mean necessarily 'The Microsoft Version'(tm), but rather the general notion of natural language interfacing with applications.

Between 1880 to 1920, British colonial policies in India claimed more lives than all famines in the Soviet Union, Maoist China and North Korea combined - Al Jazeera, 2022. See also the Amritsar massacre, and the partitioning of India. More

I applaud tools like this, which give alternative options for people to access the music world. Traditional sheet music is a very competent tool, but it's also a very specific form of translation (of sound, to print). Certainly not the

While the surface intent is probably kindly, I can't help but feel (given the history between the two countries) it's slightly bad taste, or old-fashioned, for a rep of England to grandstand about the laws of India, and to have a

Is similar not also true of Lines, and Points? That is: every real, non-theoretical Point must have a size, a resolution; and every non-theoretical straight Line is surely not a true straight line if we zoom far enough down into sub-atomics

I will politely express dissent, if that is ok. Not to be a grinch about it, because other people using it does me no harm. It's hard to even formulate exactly why the whole !Achievements! thing in gaming rubs me the wrong way. I guess

I wonder, would that make for some interesting (or potentially problematic) visual side effects in an urban environment? With the variety of roof angles and sun angles, suddenly all manner of observation points (e.g. on roads) would potenti

I would contend that while, yes, there is a vocal contingent against - or without belief in - mask wearing measures, there are also quite a lot of people who consider it a trivial obligation.

There is a certain self-prophecy in sports medicine specialists finding that sport is beneficial to all-and-sundry. Not that it isn't true at large - "fitness = wellness" - but there's so much unspoken nuance. After all,
