What a nostalgia trip this is. I played this obsessively on the original Playstation. I'm gonna have to download it and check it out. Impressive to see that the repo is still highly active! It's really sad that the RTT genre has a

Leaflet is fantastic. One of the more interesting use cases I've seen for it is the Guild Wars 2 wiki. They use it heavily to display the game map for regions, areas of interests etc. It's quite impressive, and very useful as a pl

This is oh so true. Any time I buy a gadget I make sure to read the warning labels. This is only because of its comedic value. I try to imagine every mishap and threatened lawsuit that caused the labels to be justified. Hilarious, and as yo

Making the "thrown clear" argument in 2021 is bold if nothing else. Showing that there are circumstances where a seatbelt would be detrimental to safety does not disprove their overall safety. You could find examples of any safety

I read somewhere about the postal network in India and how it suffered from a widespread lack of organized addresses. If it's still true, perhaps this is a contributing factor to why it might be hard to keep up and achieve scale for eB

I don't know which definition of life you go by, but most of them seems to be pretty lenient. Not sure how you can be confident about earthlings being the only ones living up to those (pun intended).

Ah, that makes sense. I read it as "permanent-health watch". English compound words always confuses me. Thanks!

All right. Yeah, I don't fully disagree. I just never saw the expression "perma-health watch" before, and was unable to parse it. English is not my native language.

I agree with your point, but you should s/cost/memory to make your comparison analogous. Slashdot was dismissing the iPod because it had less storage than a Creative Nomad and other popular players of the time.

Is there any economics term for being "too big to care"? This seems to be a case of that, and it seems to be quite widespread at Amazon in particular. Just look at the mess that is the AWS console UI as another example. With all t

The driving seems pretty dynamic to me. Maybe "fully" was a bit hyperbolic, as I can't really justify or quantify what that would entail. On the other hand, saying that it's not dynamic at all seems equally misguided. Al

Thanks! That's wild to me. All talk about exoplanets and other pop-sci headlines makes you think we would have our own backyard figured out. Then again, I suppose the vastness of space is vast even within our solar system.

That makes sense, thanks. I wonder if it would be possible to de-bin one of the lower end ones, assuming it is a binned version of a fully functional higher tier chip. Or perhaps they completely destroy the offlined cores/features.

I'm curious about this as well. It seems inevitable that some batches will be "too good" to satisfy demand of low end chips. Either they just accept the fluctuations in order to maximize output of high end chips, or they woul
