Now I want a scavengers' guide to identify machines that might have a compatible microprocessor within them, because I haven't seen a Commodore or Apple II in a long time. Arcades with older cabinets obviously have them, but if mo

It's a little frustrating to me that the paper breaks out major chains as the big contributing factors, but doesn't analyze the remaining bucket. If possible I'd like to see the restaurants sliced by $/visit to see the e

Congratulations, that is a roaring success I daydream about all the time! I think you've already answered a lot about your development journey, so I want to ask about the post-release experience. - How were the weeks immediately after

If you get stuck there between ~10PM (the last train back to Hachioji that could connect to Shinjuku) and 11PM (or midnight if you can spare the change for the limited express), you can also consider going west to Yamanashi and Kofu. Let&#x

The reproducible build requirement seems to be a major blocker for many addons, including one I use for Twitch: https://github.com/FrankerFaceZ/FrankerFaceZ/issues/1495#iss...

Anime has had no shortage of adaptations disrespectful of the original. Most of the time it's due to not having enough source material like HBO GoT, which somehow sent Fullmetal Alchemist to 1920s Germany in the first adaptation's

That's still a lot more predictable than my human cashier experience. I wish I didn't have to dread being held up by the only cashier in store holding a riveting conversation with 4 groups in front of me. Will the other groups hol

I will gladly do the work myself if it means not being stuck behind people chatting up the cashier or doing complicated coupon/return/exchange/gift card transactions. The value is in the consistency and predictability of time

You can have surface or elevated heavy rail too. I never understood this fascination with modern light rail.

That's definitely a concern. Players call getting stuck by others' checks "BK'd" because a player once went out to get Burger King and returned before they got unwalled. But I think sharing the challenge/frustr

TLDR context: a randomizer shuffles around game items/skills and even game areas such that the game is completed in a different order. Archipelago shuffles those things among different playthroughs. For example, I might pick up an item

It's too bad that the portable display mode doesn't support touch. That was what stopped me from getting one.

I think this stuff (Termux, Winlator, etc.) is a lot more developed and popular than you think. There's GPU acceleration through VirGL so some older games seem to work alright. I've used Termux to run utilities like ffmpeg and ima

Apple isn't reading the room at a time when many older creatives (their customer base) feel threatened by generative AI.

They're using the I-15 median which can be a little curvy and hilly, so they're probably considering passenger comfort: https://www.flattestroute.com/Las-Vegas-to-Los-Angeles

You don't have to download a new podcast app because you could just play it through Bluetooth. CarPlay and AA probably wouldn't even exist if it weren't for car vent phone holders and 2.5mm/Bluetooth upending automaker

I wonder if they have stats that indicates repeat travelers (who are more likely to stop by those small villages) are less likely to purchase JR Pass, even when it was cheaper. Anecdotally, my friends and I stopped bothering, especially aft

You can also directly sideload .xpi by tapping the Nightly logo in the About page a few times. I'm not sure when they added this back.

If this is true, then that would imply some geographic skew towards >30°N (as opposed to the tropics or >30°S), which I suppose isn't too surprising.

Not to mention the dissolved solids as well, so it's not as simple as using tap water. IMHO Celsius is the SI unit least deserving of praise. It's just bolted onto the system through the Boltzmann constant and isn't intricate

With regards to temperature, there are more levers to pull, like the aspect ratio of the street (narrower = cooler). Architects in Taiwan and southern China have been studying arcaded streets (qilou/騎樓), which seem to be as good as tre
