It is difficult for me to get an accurate picture of what is actually going on from emotional pieces like this one. Where can I read about the facts?

I think there was a typo. If pixels were taller than they were wide at 256x224, then they'd be even more so at 512x224

I don't want planes falling out of the sky, but currently lead is falling out of the sky instead, and I don't want that, either :/

Leaded gasoline will really blow your mind, at least it did for me Edit: Figuratively not literally, haha!

The public should never be required to filter out pollution, especially from basic necessities such as water.

> It was always called Halo. Oh, I'm so very sorry! I think there was a misunderstanding. I was actually talking about the development of the game and not its public announcement! Here is the relevant part of the Wikipedia article:

From reading this article, it sounded like they found the general area where they were, but it took a while to actually find them because they kept moving

That isn't the version of history I remember reading about Bungie, but I suppose there are probably differing viewpoints about it. In any case, I do know that John Carmack has said that Steve Jobs told him back then that he should stop

I'm curious if Apple dropped the ball or if there is still something of an anti-gaming culture inside Apple since I know that the company was de facto anti-gaming in the late 90s going forward. In that era they actively killed off rela

Oh! I'm so sorry I was not clear enough! I was not trying to link the two. So to borrow a framework from another field, medicine, every medication (solution to a problem) must clear thresholds for both efficacy (benefits) and safety

The seller had close up photos on one of his listings of the PCB, so a teardown wasn't totally necessary, although I suppose this might be a deeper dive.

Letting the police install video cameras and microphones inside your home would also have many benefits. They could catch burglars, or call an ambulance if you have a heart attack. What could go wrong?

I looked into the expat thing and concluded that bailing out to a foreign land before exhausting the possibilities here would be a poor decision. A bit like jumping to a full rewrite when a problem arises in a project.

I used to think this, but now I think that, especially given what many immigrants and Americans born into poverty are able to do here, the problem might actually be me, most likely requiring a process of both learning and un-learning. There

Could try selling on eBay and Facebook Marketplace, and find places to spread the word about the listings. There are vanlife Facebook groups that are specifically for sharing things you are selling.

I agree. Hooks felt to me like an attempt to go all-in on functional programming when components are perhaps easier for many people to think about as classes due to the unavoidable need to have state in the component. It seemed like an atte

Okay, sure, rendering text that meets modern expectations is resource-intensive.

Isn't rendering text inside a graphics framework and then saying that rendering text is surprisingly resource-intensive a bit like implementing an O(n log n) algorithm with nested for-loops and saying that the problem domain is surpris

Hyperfocus on specific body parts by providers seems to be a major failure mode of modern health care. The universe doesn't care that mankind decided to split the body into N systems for the sole purpose of creating specialties to prov

This part in the article didn't make sense to me: > DOS meant MS-DOS and its licensed variants such as PC DOS Because I know that Apple had Apple DOS since 1978, and I thought DOS was a general term in that time period

Besides hybrids, this isn't true of at least some gas only vehicles also. I tested this once a few years ago when I had to drive like that for half a day in a non-hybrid 2008 Honda Civic. I filled up before and after to get the MPG and
