Hate to say it, but most likely the reason is "just because". I'm guessing they assume people will use 4k now and 8k a little later. Anyone not on those is using HD at the amazing 1920x1080. Phew! They sell TVs. Do their TVs

Thanks for your 'answer' then.

Glad about the explicit exploration of "extra" versus "more". Extra to me is often about your development. Learn now to do it next time either better/faster/smoother etc etc. I'll agree with that idea. T

The way you wrote it made it seem like you thought the program wasn't an emulator or that the machines it emulated weren't real. So you quoted it for emphasis. That's why I asserted that it was by writing that the machines it

Why did you put emulates in quotes? The machines were real.

Ok, I know nothing about nuke power. That said, I have a few questions: Nuclear power is just about making steam isn’t it? Its ultimately about using heat to boil water, isn’t it? Why can't they continue making steam from this reactor

Plenty of what we eat isn’t that great for us either. Humans are complex critters.

Unpopular opinion: I'd not let either side off the hook. Politics caused multiple screw ups in the pandemic response. Still is. Partisan politics aren't a good idea when forming public health policies. Nor is fear. Especially the

It's not that people are "nuts" as such. They're scared and, more often now, terrified. Scared people aren't known for their ability to reason. Its why governments often abuse fear for political means. Its rocket fu

Windows telemetry controls seem broken/incomplete by design. We should be able to turn it off by describing the process over the phone to a 80yo relative. It needs to be simple but not simplistic.

I like the utility of small scraps of paper with custom printed designs on them. Tangible todo lists etc have a sense of existence that is quite different to pixels on a screen. That said, don't these printers use the same rolls of the

I like it but still want multiplayer. Any ideas around abstractions to support that? I'd fully expect to need a websocket server and interconnect etc. eg on physical hardware this might be a serial port. Does the gamepad support also a

I wonder how hard to get it to output lua code? I have a set of runtime environments that only support lua but this Ć language looks interesting. Obvious aside: I do agree with the many others that the funky line accent above the C doesn&#x

Those who disagreed with my comment very obviously haven't had to counsel men going through family court. Multiple relatives have needed assistance to do so. Family court and everything around divorce is entirely made more difficult

Quite a variety of rules, laws and regulations. I'm fairly sure there are errors in this list but the effort to compile it must have been significant. Kudos. Its so strange to think of rainwater collection as illegal. That is utterly d

You seem to have a complicated relationship with your past self. I foresee further trouble in your future. Its best if you take a torch or you'll be eaten by a grue.

Don't forget to write for future you . They'd appreciate some consideration as well. Mostly along the lines of "wtf does this module do?"

I use one big monitor. Like the rest of my little bubble. Those bevels from multiple monitors get boring.

Drinking water excessively is often an indicator of illness eg diabetes. Other reasons exist. The "its a hot day" reason is better than most but cold non-sugar drinks are usually more refreshing.

Family court, alimony, child support, paternity, the list of broken systems goes on. Essentially, if you're male in the US the disincentives around getting married are strong and real. Even cohabitating has serious risks associated wit

Maybe. You can't generally unsubscribe without the demons offering you temptations and otherwise stealing your time. Except that one case back in 2016, but that's just a legend. There's probably a startup idea around unsubscr

I'm fairly sure plenty of folks don't even take those two weeks off. Plenty are still contactable. Plemty are actually contacted during vacation. Quite a few "come in just to sort out a few fires" or, even worse, are &qu

I answer and make calls on a frequent basis. People expect me to be able to do both. Its not actually weird or old fashioned. That said, there are a few caveats. Unknown callers? I'd better have an appointment with you at that time. Ot

I like the absence of globals that so often litter vm interpreters. This makes it great for embedding. Is there a structural reason why its slower than python or is it just a temporary lack of optimisation?
