That's similar to the idea used in a lot of emulators, especially some of the Nintendo 64 ones, except that they programmed those to look for specific patterns of opcodes that they could replace with higher-level C/C++ functions.

I can think of three high school classes that were great because of the teachers (an English class, a geometry class, and a shop class), and maybe three that were great because of their self-learning nature (my first programming class, an e

I have a similar feeling, when I pronounce a homonym/homophone. The word "mouth feel" resonates for me, although I suspect that sometimes it's just an awareness of the spelling of the word. Other times, I'll conscio

I use both every day (work+personal phones), and I come down on the opposite side. My Android does everything I want out of a pocket computer, and the iPhone doesn't. If I don't like the UX of one app, the next one I try will almo

People put up with all kinds of crap when it's the best option available. They're OK with it until something better comes along. In this case, a smartphone with a day of battery life trumps a flip phone with a week of battery life

The image itself is customized; it's not a vanilla copy of Raspbian. So, no matter what, you'll end up downloading ~1GB of data (less, when he's got the Lite version built). One benefit of this, over doing it online: you can

Powering the bluetooth radio takes some power (more than driving the DAC and amplifier for headphones).

If someone buys a big EMC system, they aren't just paying for hardware and software. They're paying for EMC to also integrate it into their other systems, set it up, train them to manage it, provide custom coding if their environm

Use an OS that behaves in a way I like more. Save when convenient. Repeat as necessary. I prefer to use software that behaves the way I want it to, rather than modifying my own behavior to work around its shortcomings.

I'd buy a thicker phone, but not one with a screen larger than 5 inches. 5" without a case is already uncomfortable to hold, and if the battery were directly integrated into the phone, I could get a little more battery in the adde
