It's known as the Rolling Shutter effect. It's most commonly observed when attempting to take still imagery of very fast moving objects like rotors on airplanes, but affects pretty much any image sensor that isn't designed sp

Actually emulating the CPU, even with a JIT, isn't as much of a performance drain as you'd think. The performance elephant is synchronization. If the CPU and the GPU aren't running at exactly the same speed as they were on

I've been using sandstorm.io at the recommendation of a friend, and I'm pretty impressed with it. It's kind of like containerised apps that you run like a server, and once it's set up it's super easy to manage. It&#

A key thing to remember is that 32k of RAM isn't the only memory available; often there was all sorts of longer term storage, and in many cases the data for a job was separate than the machine running the program, which could feed that

I mean, no one's forcing me to blindly trust programs I run on my own devices. I make a point of only running open source software for this reason. I don't need to inspect the traffic if I can simply read the source code and look

Navigation is really a bear... It's easily Google's killer product, and extremely difficult for the open source community to replicate in any meaningful sense just due to the difficulty in acquiring data; we lack the necessary res

I learned that RAID5 has a hidden gotcha in it's implementation: it maintains just one parity drive, no matter how big the array is. This is a bit counter intuitive; you might expect it to instead maintain 1/3 of the available dri

It certainly starts off that way, but right about the time you have most of your opcodes written and can start stepping through your code, it becomes very exciting very quickly. "Ooh, now I have Tetris getting far enough that I think

Okay, I'll take a stab at this: Safari - either Google Chrome or Chromium (depending on how open you like things) can keep pace with Safari in terms of general usability and extension ecosystem. At worst I think you'd find the exp

Since the data collection management would traditionally be stored as a cookie... It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem. Without tracking, how do you track that consent was revoked? The cookie law bugs me because it's feels like

The information is stored within your web browser, so the instructions to view it will depend on what OS and browser combination you use. In Google Chrome for example, you can view cookies in the Developer Tools (F12, or Menu -> More Too

I'm trying to decide if you're joking, or if the cryptocurrency is really that volatile. That I have to ask is... worrying.

I use a VPN service that happens to include an ad blocking feature. I wonder if that will be blocked too? It's PIA, which is very popular. Of course the feature goes unused; I simply refuse to install an application that includes adver

Right, Overwatch is a relatively tame example where it starts to feel potentially manipulative. I forgot about the Battlefront scandal, that's a bit more obviously bad. Again here, the presence of random boosts isn't inherently

A loot box is specifically an item that can be purchased in-game that offers a random reward, typically from a loot table and with set odds known only to the game maker. They come in many forms; one of the most obvious is found in Overwatch

I do this regularly with my Pebble. One of my side gigs is acting as the announcer for a colorguard contest (basically a dance contest with flags) and for sound checks, I can run Spotify on my phone, run around the gym listening to speakers

I haven't had nearly that much trouble with more recent videos, which seem to have excellent sound reproduction. It very much depends on the original upload quality though. Some older videos (anything stuck on 240p or lower) are from a

On the contrary, I think this is secretly a benefit. As soon as WordPress updates to include all the necessary tools to be GDPR compliant, every small business using their platform should be able to easily pull those features in with minima

I would sincerely hope that the small Yoga studio is not attempting to custom code their website in this case, in which case the economical solution is for the Yoga studio to use a GDPR compliant website and mailing list toolset, and simply

This is definitely true. The gameboy does have memory mapped cartridges to deal with, but they don't hook quite so deeply into the system; they're much more straightforward to implement, and for simpler games you can ignore the ma

As far as capabilities go, both chips are remarkably similar, with the Gameboy supporting an extra background. They both do a handful of sprites and tiled backgrounds with attributes for things like palette selection. However, the NES has o

You know, this has always bothered me to a certain extent. We have self-signed certificates, and we have CA certificates, but couldn't we have an in-between option? Say, a self-signed certificate which suggests to the browser that it c

I spent two years living with a man, then my lover, who refused to seek medical help but almost certainly had something like disassociative identity. He had learned to cope with it by giving his voices distinct names, and adopting their per

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted here, as this is a pretty solid argument. Maybe not so much in California, but just look to the natural disaster in Puerto Rico. Folks who had branched out with solar panels were suddenly

I use docker for my build system for this very reason, as my chain depends on a difficult to install Autodesk SDK, which requires a very specific version of Python. I don't expect it to work properly on most modern Linux distributions

Okay actually, I would pay to use most of Google's good services. I expect them to do advertising and they do not (!) need that kind of data on me for their search result advertising to be relevant. They have my search term; that shoul
