What do you mean? Pretty much any SoC designed for consumer applications has some form of hardware accelerated video decoding.
comment
I think it it's because there are too many subsystems involved in sleep/resume all being worked on as independent projects (kernel, drivers which sometimes have both kernel and user space co…
comment
They I don't see what you point was since these rules are specifically for safety critical systems written in C.
comment
You lose when the middle columns (where new pieces appear) reach the top but with gaps in them. If there are no gaps they are cleared, the board flips and the game continues.
comment
Yes, but this person is not involved with Rust for Linux.
comment
This has nothing to do with Rust.
comment
This isn't "Rust people".

> Windows 10 will go EOL in October, so you should probably try to upgrade sometime before next year. That's the current plan but it wouldn't surprise me if they change their mind given t…
comment
The title is wrong, it's about the recent Atari 2600+ and 7800+, not the original models.
comment
I don't think you can conclude anything from that since a ton of UNIX systems implemented in C are also dead.
comment
Too much white space.

> Has it been demonstrated that RISC-V is architecturally suitable for making chips that equal the performance of high-end x86 and ARM designs? How would you demonstrate that besides actually build…
comment
AFAIK that's the case with pretty much every ARM SBC, Raspberry Pi being the exception. They still support the original model from 2012 with their latest OS and it's a huge part of their suc…

I systematically hide them since I'm not interested in them and they just pollute the main page, and you're right that they've become a bit excessive. Looking at my list of hidden posts…

It only killed a small part of the video game industry (consoles) in a specific country (USA) and only for a couple of years. IMO this crash is given way too much importance for what it actually is.
comment
I think that's a poor excuse. Screen resolutions are higher now but our machines are also orders of magnitude more powerful.
comment
I feel like it gets posted at least yearly.
comment
To be even clearer, 16-bit real mode x86 assembly.
comment
Probably because GNU Emacs was too bloated for the Amiga's 512KB of RAM (or whatever amount the original model had).
comment
Yes, a trap a lot of HD remakes and fan-made HD mods fall into is that they upgrade sprite or texture resolution but keep animation framerate or geometry the same, which creates a janky/disjointe…
comment
There's some kind of collision detection issue going on as I immediately fell through the pyramid bricks in the first level and got stuck inside them.
comment
But that's not how it's pronounced in Arabic, see my other comment.
comment
No, it's not. It's a soft 'H' sound in Arabic, the same as in Muhammad. It's closer to the English 'H'. The Scottish 'ch' is a different letter entirely in…
comment
> The version with 'c' is one that contains a pronunciation hint for people whose native language is not Arabic (but probably English). What hint would that be? There's no 'c…
comment
It's not a launch, just a (official) reveal.

> Sony's Vita was quite successful with titles like Killzone Mercenary which was as fun a shooter as you'll find on any platform, but Sony gave up on the form factor because of the phone …
comment
It's like building an app with Electron, but worse. At least Electron has good font rendering and some accessibility and some OS integration.
comment
Not that portable since it only works on a single PDF engine.
