Nintendo generally picks a framerate and sticks to it. The N64 zelda games were actually locked at 20hz. (It is possible to do 60hz on the N64, but it's really hard)

Can you explain why /r/blog is treated differently in multireddits? Back when there were only 25 default subreddits and multireddits had just been launched, I tried to create a default multireddit. If I just included the top 25, t

Easy as, the pilots are required to turn the transponder off as soon as they land, so planes on the ground don't show up on radar.

The problem with contemporary taxies is that a large chunk of the money you pay goes towards paying the driver. Think about it; You need to pay a driver something like $40k each year; While the car itself may cost $40k to purchase and will

But we aren't moving the gpu to the screen. With it's currently advertised feature set, there is no need for that much ram. Assuming future-proofing support for 4k monitors with framebuffers in 16bit floating point format, That&#x

Looking at the GPS coordinates, the second to last reading was ~200m before the seawall, while the last reading was around halfway down the runway. The plane is far outside it's normal operating conditions by this point, it's poss

At the project loon launch event, I asked the google people about installing cameras. They stated that they had very clearly decided not to install cameras because they didn't want any issues to distract them from their stated goal of

Personally, I'm ok with the simple DRM scheme, where javascript can pass a decryption key into the video tag. Throw in a few extra features, like a header at the start of the file telling the browser to only play the video file on supported

I've been meaning to try setting up a standing desk, but there was a major earthquake where I live 2 years ago and 6 or so major aftershocks since. There is still a high change of another major aftershock so I can't really stack my monitor

Most importantly, I wouldn't let the staffing levels get this low. At this point in its life, reddit should have 6-12 programmers/system administrators + a few support staff, compared with the 3 they have at the moment. That way they won't

Reddit has always amazed me with what they can do with extremely limited resources. But it looks like that attitude has finally caught up with them, especially since they are down to just 3 technical staff (from 5 last week), and two of the
