At the bottom of the homepage, there is a link titled “lists” that links to many of these pages. Active is my favorite list as it points to posts with high discussion activity.

I want to learn how to build emulators for CHIP-8 and Gameboy and am having the person tug-of-war over assembly, C, or Rust. With hindsight, do you recommend doing them in assembly? And what resources did you use to get started?

Thanks. My plan will be to follow along https://www.learncpp.com/ and then check out the Rust book later on then. I've found previous success in learning an older language that a newer one can replace (JavaScript to Ty

As someone that is looking to learn one or the other (and hopefully be able to utilize it to land a job too), is the recommendation to skip learning C++ at this point and learn Rust instead? I was going to learn how to write a game boy emul

Hey I’m a CPA (former big 4 accountant) that’s taught myself how to code. Interested in learning more if you want to share: contact+hn@winstoncooke.com

Who cares? The right thing to do doesn't rely on what others may hypothetically do. Acting in good faith consistently in life can pay off multiple times over if you build up a reputation for it. And from a non-selfish angle, it's

You’re responsible for a lot of fun in my childhood. Thanks for sharing!

I was taught to do this in open-wheel racing. Thumbs stick straight up rather than gripping inside the wheel. And on bigger crashes, completely let go of the wheel as quickly as possible.

How so? I only use basic markdown (e.g. for ReadMes and quick note taking), so I'm fairly ignorant.

I chop wood and don’t eat meat. When I’m playing tennis, I consume lots of calories to provide the energy to compete. I don’t see how your conclusion that eating lots of meat every day is necessary when you sometimes don’t work in an office

Biking in Austin around the lake is totally fine weather wise. Keep your commutes to the mornings and use an eBike at a leisurely pace when it’s peak summer. Come Fall, the weather is absolute bliss for riding!

Getting between San Antonio is currently a poor experience that really holds back that idea to me. I35 is absolutely no fun during peak usage and requires car ownership. The train is insanely cheap but too slow and leaves once per day at ex

This post is so sensationalist and right on the heels of that other article about BW’s new funding that hit the front page. I have to question the motives of OP and some of the commenters. I’ve happily used BW for years without problems. My

Agree with your general sentiment but want to point out that is not the Katy Freeway. This is: https://s.hdnux.com/photos/30/10/14/6325030/32/450x0.jpg

Just wanted to follow up and say that reaching out to online support landed me the replacement for free. Thanks all!

Correct!

Huh I did, and it looks like the page says up to 3 years later, but I was outright rejected.

This thread has been eye opening. I’ll check out online support and see if that’s better than in person. In person is a lot stingier now than it was 5 years back.

Ahh I didn't know that! The problem was nonexistent for me during that period, so it wasn't a priority to "fix" my working product. The issue has become much more pronounced in the period since the warranty expired. Less

I want to get them but reliability is a big concern. Everyone in my family has had problems with our first gen pros. Mine started developing crackling issues. During the pandemic I remember hearing that it was a known problem and could be f

There's a 2 week return period, and I wanted to be sure I'd be fine switching to iOS before buying an expensive new device. Part of the reason I'm switching is the new Pro models are a lot closer to Android phones with featur

It's the biggest thing I've missed after switching from a Pixel to an iPhone this week. In my first day of iPhone ownership, I received more spam/text calls than in an entire year with a Pixel.

Only one person said it directly who I’m close with and is always candid. I also almost always received a short comment about having an Android when initially connecting with a woman both in real life and on dating apps. The bigger ramifica

I'm in upper middle class and switched away from an iPhone to an Android last year and felt like I dropped classes based on verbal reactions from my peers. I thought it was much more prominent as a status symbol in lower classes, but m

That’s a hell of a disclaimer after a decently alarmist comment. You may be correct, but I’m not sure it’s appropriate for you to raise that point given the conflict of interest.

I switched to a Google Pixel 5 a year ago, and it's been my favorite phone I've ever owned since the original iPhone. Notification handling, input detection, call screen, the universal back gesture, USB C, and other small elements

Thanks! I have Synology as well, so that's perfect.
