The color palette is a good reason it's NES vs SNES. But yeah, gameplay wise this is pretty impressive. You can tell in a few spots it gets weird when there are a lot of sprites on the screen / moving. Overall I think it's s

Very similar to people using node.getenv in hot sections of code and the resulting not understanding what's happening. https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3104 When you call out to the sys or libc thin

There's kind of a reason you don't count the coefficient in big O notation etc. It doesn't really matter. If you can't exponentially increase the amount of power / transactions you don't really have a chance o

As someone that does swing dancing and with quite a lot of people into vintage stuff there has been this talk of "survivor" bias whenever we talk about how stuff was made better back then. Naturally the cheap stuff didn't ten

for now? You can't really guarantee anything with companies when they start rolling things out like this. The fact that they went so hard for the feature without really considering how people felt about the invasion is important.

I think the pendulum swing back is going to be designing code that is harder to make bad. Typescript is a good example of trying to fix this. Rust is even better. Deno, I think, takes things in a better direction as well. Ultimately we&#x2

My pro-tip here is to use the XIVLauncher (get it from github). Logs you in much faster than the default launcher. They brought in dev machines to address this. The issue is the queue is for your data center. And it maxes out at 15k. I t

They're so strapped they decided to bring dev server's online to support the login process. OOOF. The chip shortage and their own success is a really bad combo here. But overall Yoshi-P's attitude keeps me playing and intere

You are -severely- underestimating how big space is. roughly 30 days How long will it take Webb to get to L2? It will take roughly 30 days for Webb to reach the start of its orbit at L2, but it will take only 3 days to get as far away as th

The really scary thing is that because it's in L2 orbit (past the moon) it's not designed/intended to ever be serviced. So they can't go up and unfuck it if it's fucked.

From what I've seen on naval ships you'd launch it to the side that is incoming so you'd be behind the wall of Chaff. I think that would be significantly harder to triangulate because you'd mostly just see the noisy stu

Kind of a sword vs shield thing as most things in the military. There are sonar decoys. They aren't easy. You also have to have it rigged ready to go with very little notice. The other aspect is that these torpedoes can still be wired

Because the moon is 238,900 mi away. Nor does it stay locked in position. Nor is it perfectly reflective (albeit quite a high albedo) nor a perfect sphere.

You are drastically under-estimating the effects of other compounds in the atmosphere. Methane is a really good example. HFCs were a great bit of disaster for a bit there as well. from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gre

I think this is one of the few benefits of micro service architectures. You end up with much smaller pieces to migrate over. And if the service is well defined and you have ample logging for endpoints you actually could re-write it. Mind

I mean... older 737 sure. The Max / NG (most of) are bigger. The max also uses significantly more efficient engines (which is what led to all the issues).

I think you need to be aware of why such an implementation (fat32) had to exist. As I believe (I also grew up with fat32) that it basically vanished when HDDs with caches in the MB started to show up. Journaling became a thing; actual cac
