California has worse income inequality than 47 states, and Prop 13 is at the root of it. It ensures that only rich people can move to our cities.

MOC was a toxic charlatan who posted exactly the kind of comments that have no place in a well-moderated forum.

Your second sentence makes no sense. If the board and shareholders sell the company, "they" aren't owned by anyone. The board is no longer the board and the shareholders are no longer the shareholders. They're just a bun

Without Prop 13, homeowners would support the construction of multifamily housing in their communities, and that would keep property taxes low for everybody (not just dynastic families) and home prices affordable. Just like things were befo

Republicans have a hammerlock over California to this day, thanks to Prop 13, Prop 218, and the Gann Limit, all of which starve our public resources and prevent duly-elected Democrats from enacting the overwhelming will of the people.

If you've only ever lived in one place, why do you think your opinion is valid?

The high taxes are the reason they’re nice places to live with strong economies and lots of amenities. And that’s why rich people love living in blue states like California.

High taxes on newcomers. Nearly nonexistent taxes on dynastic families.

But still about 60 bytes per read, an insurmountable limit.

Yes; the four controller ports allow a total of like 60 bytes per read.

This seems like the opposite situation. Gravity doesn’t kill you from a fall (just like voltage doesn’t kill you from electricity). Gravity makes possible the sudden acceleration that kills you, which is analogous to the voltage-induced cur

Rather than admonishing everyone for wondering the obvious question, why not just explain your reasoning?

The Game Genie decoder at https://games.technoplaza.net/ggencoder/js/ claims that ANTOSA means, "Overwrite $18ED with 0x70". 0x70 is indeed BVS, but how does that address (or its endian-corrected $ED18)

Real Mouse Heaven would've included a big Burning Man camp to work on so they'd have something to do all year.

On the flipside, my formative video game experiences involved reading the instruction booklet to a new NES game, cover to cover, while being driven home from Toys R Us. They were essential to knowing how to play and appreciating the storyli

I would approve the PR and then send them one of my own to do the refactor. It's remarkable how this change of perspective improves one's clarity on which code polishes aren't actually worth the opportunity cost.

I believe the NES's 6502 didn't have a logical-OR operator (which is what the situation calls for), only bitwise. The apparent goal was to find out, "Are either PLYPS0 or PLYPS1 equal to 0?" They probably started with OR

The Minus World is just World 7-2 with a different name and an exit that loops back to the beginning.

Sometimes I want to listen to an album straight through; sometimes I want to skip to specific tracks. Either way, it's the same amount of experiencing the music/game; it's just a shift in what parts of the work you're gi

Indeed. I'm the guy he thanks at the end of the video, and the inspiration I passed along came directly from that book. This video would not exist without it.

My summary barely scratches the surface; the video gets deep into the code and the ones and zeroes. I don't think there's a wasted sentence in the entire piece.

For those who can't watch the video or just want a text summary: The underground 1-2 level is supposed to stop scrolling as soon as the mundane return-to-surface pipe comes onto the right edge of the screen. (Unless you're walking
