   Yeah, I was a little surprised at the assumption that Trump would be feasible in a Democratic Primary. Or, a larger segment of the party wanted to support people like Sanders and Warren for a specific ideological reasons. Plus, a lot of Dem

   I mentioned this in another comment, but I don’t really think of my interactions with my smartphone as the same as my computer. I might do some similar things with both, but I think I treat a phone much more like an appliance these days. Be

   One thing that has surprised me about the US is the lack of political parties with regional interests given how large and diverse the place is. Or, having grown up in Canada, it wasn't uncommon[1][2][3] to see a political party have it

   Do the measurements for PS2/PS3 take into account their specialized hardware? Or the former's VU and the latter's Cell designs aren't really the same sort of thing as the PS1 or PS4.

    I'm kind of impressed at the effort to be so prescriptive of the name of a type of video game.

    Kludgy hacks are interesting when their value highly outweighs the lack of careful design or effort put into it. Or, I work in the video games industry and quick work can end up being charming or valuable to your audiences, even if they&#x2

    I found a bit of a learning curve with 2.8's input too, but I'm kind of okay with the tradeoff for newfound enthusiasm the program has with professional users.

    The writing style of your article seems more personal and narrative-oriented than scholarly, to be honest. It might be better to reword it if you want your personal blog to have a more academic perspective.

    I haven't heard of the cover album before, but thanks for linking it. It doesn't sound the opening track is using actual hardware (such as a Ricoh 2A03 or a Konami VRC6), but the cover of All Blues almost has a Tim Follin feelin

    Given the time and emotional effort I've given to hear out some of my colleagues' strong opinions on computer programming in the past, reading this felt a little cathartic.

    I really like the variable-clock and constant-power setup they have for the console. Being able to adjust power consumption between the CPU and GPU could theoretically allow developers to prioritize one or the other in a game, especially si
