I grew up with CRTs and bought one at a retro game conference to put on my desk for some gaming. I had all but forgotten the deafening noise they make. The sound is hard to describe if you have not heard it. The sound hits different than an

Nice! Remarkably similar to my own PNG implementation. I don't think I have pushed up the encoding work I did but should. I would highly recommend anyone / everyone to write a parser for a file format, you learn a lot. I also didn

One important item was a custom OCR for the magazine scans, particularly those with text on a crazy background. This was discussed in a Patreon call but might also be discussed in the podcast, I haven't listened through just yet. Anoth

I signed up for the iOS beta and haven't used any of the writing tools, but the AI summary of texts or emails has been really nice for glancing at the phone and getting a glance, especially for wall of text texters.

Love this! I've been working on and running https://sfc.fm for about 7 years now so very similar interests! One thing I did notice was the in the SPC emulation, particularly in Super Mario World `12a Athletic.spc` there is

A similar thing happened with the Wolfenstein 3D port as well, where John Carmack gave Rebecca Heineman kudos for learning Japanese to read the patents to get the technical documentation, always cool history around these things, some more i

We met on Tinder, both with "joke" profiles and neither of us seriously "playing the game". We ended up meeting and hitting it off. That was a decade ago and through COVID and everything else there is no one else I would

It seems odd to go out of the way to not break older libraries like mootools by renaming built in functions only to now break all older parsers for hints that don't convert to any performance improvement. I love the idea, and use JSDoc

I've been waiting on this for decades. I think the not being popular is helping out on this front. Also that it only ever costs money and never makes any really helps.

I made a website to listen to Super Nintendo / Super Famicom music emulated in the browser. It was a great way to learn about Emscripten. Not sure what it would succeed at other than being popular, and I can assure you it is not. http

I'm sorry you had so many less than awesome teachers. I had an Algebra 1 teacher in middle school (United States) that really made a huge difference. The way she taught was so different than every other teach I had up until that point.

I saw it, and enjoyed it for what it was. I will say that it very much felt like a few "Matrix" projects mashed-up together. I especially feel like the new characters could have stood on their own as a miniseries much better.

I live in the US and had my debit card (number only, one of the bigger data leaks) stolen years ago and ever since then my bank will check every purchase with me over $300. It was really frustrating for years until someone else took my card
