   I wonder how much Netflix has affected restaurant sales. Given the choice between an expensive Sysco bag-o-food and my own cooking + superior bevs + catching up on shows, I know what I usually choose. It's a shame, because it's no

   If the membranes are anything like those in watermakers on yachts, they're pricey and gunk up easily.

   That's about the going rate, depending on season/days/miles. A vehicle wrap is $1-2k. (Note that you could also buy an older RV for $20k or so and resell it after the trip.)

   Even worse; the 2600 CPU must run at exactly 1/3 the pixel clock.

   I take notes in text files as I'm learning stuff. I've published a couple of books from these notes (and also using the example code I write.)

   Here are some quotes from the article: Amazon’s third-party sellers have to offer new books, not used ones, but in many cases they don’t seem to have bought their books from publishers. No one is quite sure where their books come from, inc

    I think the concerns of the "publishing industry" also apply to authors that self-publish on say, Amazon's CreateSpace.

    For my recent books, there have been third-party sellers that materialize almost instantly, before any of them could have possibly received a copy. They are probably using merchant-fulfillment, where the merchant holds the inventory and is

    I think they should measure these ships by underwater volume at time of departure. Underwater volume == weight of the boat. You need a hefty underwater keel in a sailboat, especially a blue-water boat, otherwise the forces on the sail cou

    As an anecdote: I had been running a Z80 emulator on my website ( http://8bitworkshop.com ) and I began to notice persistent 30-second delays on Firefox. It was difficult to track down, but I suspected the Z80 interpreter which ha

    It's all done in a worker running asm.js modules. I've found it to be fastest on Firefox. Would love to speed it up; haven't found the magic emscripten flags yet.

    I agree, which is why I find it baffling that the author started out complaining about the set design and the limited outdoor scenes -- for a movie made in 1984. C'mon, it was a lot harder then. One of the directors almost died falling

    You'd probably want to disallow/discourage structs as well, favoring striped arrays, because the $aaaa,x addressing mode is a lot more efficient than doing pointer arithmetic in zero-page. (Would be cool if the compiler could figu
