I wonder: If film grain never existed, would we invent it? If we had originally developed film technology where everything looked completely clean, would anyone have thought "Hey I've got a great idea, let's figure out how to

Which explains the downvotes I'm getting. I've apparently angered the cinephiles. Edit: I'm bemused that my subjective personal preferences have made multiple people this upset.

I don't have much physical media since finally going 4K HDR, but so far my experience hasn't been great. I purchased the Mission:Impossible boxed set, and it came with a download code to use on iTunes. The discs look like trash. N

The quote is "Stop trying to make fetch happen", and the proudest moment of my entire career is using that line as a code comment in a completely appropriate situation.

Overly taxing and dangerous physical work sucks. Working in a professional kitchen is some of the most fun and (non-monetary) rewarding work I've ever done.

Are you saying the solution to maternity related deaths is abortion here? Eliminating maternal death by eliminating maternity? I don't understand.

The modern internet gives me a strange sense of amnesia. I swear everything is heavily censored and redacted now, but how can I prove it when my primary view into this world is the search engines themselves? It feels a bit like the simulati

In general it doesn't seem like anyone is living high on the hog in California with these salaries and my remoting from the midwest, at lower pay, is the better deal.

At some point you have to step out of the "mind your own business" box and be a little bit judgemental. Just a little bit. Otherwise, how can we ever say we have any concern for others? You can go too far with it. Very easily! But

I mention piano because I finally did take up piano. I enjoy learning at my own pace and I impress myself with my continual improvement. I'm not imposing it on anyone else at the moment. I was never a competitive COD player either. To

It has some merit. When Call of Duty 4 came out on XBox 360, I was completely addicted to it. At some point I noticed I had been playing the game for 2 months . I spent 2 full months out of a single year playing a game. It was fun! Yeah, i

Firmware updates can bring image quality improvements, hardware compatibility fixes, all sorts of stuff beyond the built-in streaming apps.

As long as that poor woman is still on the hook for millions of dollars over some CDs or whatever I’m not pirating anything no matter how “safe” it is promised to be.

I doubt it. He deals with this theme more subtly in "Breakfast of Champions". I don't see why being a garden variety socialist would mean you couldn't possibly critique the idea of forced equality of outcomes. People don

When you get fired you can keep buying gas with the money you have left. Losing access to your only charger immediately is different.

I haven't heard anyone talk about this, but the PS2 was the first time I recall seeing a blue LED in a consumer product. I remember being really wowed by it, as just a few years prior I saw 5mm blue LEDs being sold in an electronics ho

I've been professionally employed as a software developer since 1998 and I am currently curled up in a ball in the corner rocking slowly back and forth after seeing that.

I am curious about this. Are you a software engineer? Is it your condition that has prevented you from finding employment, or the stigma? Or a gap in your resume?

I currently have to occasionally contribute to a TypeScript codebase at work. I appreciate how much better it is than Javascript. When I write code as an outsider (Java and Go developer), I feel like I use the type system in sensible and re

Yes, that chip was the TMS9918A and it was also used in systems like the MSX computers and the Colecovision game console. The Colecovision was similar in that it offered 1KB of "scratchpad" RAM the CPU could directly address, and

The lack of machine language programming out of the box was deliberate and similar to Apple's App Store business model. If you wanted to be a serious developer for the platform you had to buy an expensive 32K upgrade and floppy drive.

I wanted to play Cities but I can’t figure out what I’m doing. I start a new city and usually roads don’t quite work right so traffic never comes, I don’t understand how utilities work and they always show disconnected icons, sometimes I ca

The post is so well written and stylized it sounds fake. "Bob" is just far too perfect to believe. Is this a genre - a kind of hypothetical fiction designed to spur interesting conversation (and SO upvotes?)

I bet it was a lot more fun as-is than a lot of early trash on the PS1 that did get released.

I used to call the Sierra 800 number and press a key to speak to a representative, just because the hold music consisted of selections of their in-game music played on the Roland MT-32. It sounded amazing compared to my Sound Blaster.
