Drakengard (the first of the series) was written in response to the flippant way many games are framed: You usually score higher the more enemies you kill. Yoko Taro thought that only an insane person would actually think that way. So he

If their stereo equipment is so high end, then why are their input power electronics so crappy at producing clean voltages? Filtering and isolating against common noisy power lines seems a pretty obvious design consideration. I love throwi

That is absolutely NOT "electromagnetic interference", in terms of radiative electromagnetic noise. It's a wiring fault.

That would be the route of framing themselves as a common carrier, as opposed to the current model of a content-promoting, editorializing publisher.

It's not really about FLOPS. These sorts of many core, low performance per core systems do well in handling lots of I/O where there isn't all that much processing involved per node, and/or micro-latency isn't much

They have nothing better to do. I mean that seriously. We're generally safe, but all the security organizations need to do something to justify themselves, and have ways of thinking that always pursues "greater security" as

This is government-compelled labor, whose product is only of value to government, and which labors in direct opposition to the personal safety and well-being of the entire general population. Australia, you fail at the very notion of free w

The native output resolution is the max vertical resolution of all currently displayed modes. For instance, if you have an interlaced mode showing under a non-interlaced mode, then the entire screen displays at ~480i (to use modern terms) w

Or, it could be defined as the opposite: An emulation presents a replica of something else's outward observable behavior. A simulation runs a specific internal model, which generates some gestalt behavioral results. An emulator might s

Is this a port of the Flash version that was around years ago, or an original take? Some of the news-splashy C64 games being released are actually just ports that don't fully disclose their prior existence, and that kind of rubs me the

Correct. It's not a process-oriented environment, with crash protection facilities keeping everything at arm's length. There are namespacing facilities (though I'm not sure how far back in history they go) to discriminate yo

First off, note that Lisp OSes were made before modern cybersecurity was a concept. Since everything was Lisp all the way down, and Lisp is a very dynamic language, all calls that comprise the OS are available as plain function calls visibl

I searched the page for proxying and tunneling, neither of which is discussed. I'm sure switching to UDP will have dramatic consequences for these features.

There are people who simply walk away from it all. None of these issues are truly and specifically "to survive", it's all chasing something.

Specifically, I meant there's nothing to fall back on at the end if the gamble didn't pay off. Your family/friends are sick of you, you have nothing left to sell, any credit is trashed, and your venture didn't pan out.

Capital appreciation is certainly a large motivation for those who already own homes there, and those who are involved in local legislation tend to be mostly from that group.

In betting on opportunity, often times they have everything riding on it. Where does the "harm" you talk about come from? Usually it's because there are other responsibilities you're engaged with. If you literally give

Anti-monopolist is pro-free market. Monopolies are kind of the opposite of markets.

"Free market" is about freedom to enter, participate in, and exit the market. So things like monopolies and artificial barriers to entry are anti-free market. Net neutrality is policing specific legal vs illegal behaviors, simila

No, there are 3 sentences implied in the context, but only 1 sentence is visible in this specific example. Natural language normally isn't a fully self-contained representation.
