Retro games used a ton of tables. Back then memory speeds were blazing fast, but processors were sluggish, so it made sense to pack as much computation as possible into tables. The more clever you were about it, the fancier games you could

Well, consumer reports is still kicking. I don't think an aggregate review service does much good though. Reviews for physical items are super inaccurate. The average consumer doesn't have the money to buy 10 laptops and compare t

Even if you're nice, once you get rich enough you're going to hire jerks to do your dirty work for you. Everyone with money needs lawyers.

Slavery ended as industrialized agriculture was taking off. While farmers are paid better now, there are a lot fewer of them. Perhaps we will see the same with animation; there will be a few well-paid and highly-skilled artists that are aut

I teach driving lessons as a job. Adults usually become proficient a little faster than kids, as they take it more seriously and have learned the laws through osmosis. Most of the time the difficulty with adults is they have no one to pract

I've been saying My-Skwill since I was a kid. I pronounce SQL alone as three letters though.

Both lead solder and lead-free solder are commonplace. Lead is standard in aerospace and military applications, while lead-free is standard in most products sold in the EU.

This one boggles my mind because broadcasters don't want games to go into overtime. A 3-point system where overtime win/losses are split 2/1 emphasizes winning in the final few minutes, which is exciting to both viewers and b

If I was a company in the 80's or 90's, I'd use spreadsheets if I need declarative data stuff, and I'd use a boring blub language like BASIC for everything else. Few business problems need the type of logical inference

I've heard an excellent way to board is to have people walk as far into the plane as possible, then take a nearby seat when they can't walk further. This is like boarding back-to-front, but handles variance in luggage loading more

When I was growing up in the 2000s, it was required to learn a foreign language in school. I took Spanish but dropped the class after a year, thinking that when I grew up, computers would be able to translate text far better humans could. W

Old electronics can be a little dangerous. Think nasty chemicals and capacitor shocks. Nothing a kid can't handle but I don't know what the autism is like. Lego technics are excellent. I remember Zoids being neat too. For taking s

Yeah it can reserve specific ZP addresses. I do this to implement the runtime. It can also be used to reserve hardware registers, but since my only target is the NES, I don't have to worry about that.

I tried out the wxWidgets library recently and used GPT to generate examples on how to do things. Thought it worked excellently and got 99% of the code right. In the past, I'd have used forums to find examples. There were still some fo

That's an excellent point. I hadn't heart of furthest in the future, but it looks like it does solve step 1. Past that though, it doubt it can be used because each of the 6502's registers are different and don't support
