What do you mean? Pretty much any SoC designed for consumer applications has some form of hardware accelerated video decoding.

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…

They I don't see what you point was since these rules are specifically for safety critical systems written in C.

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.

The title is wrong, it's about the recent Atari 2600+ and 7800+, not the original models.

I don't think you can conclude anything from that since a ton of UNIX systems implemented in C are also dead.

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.

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…

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.

But that's not how it's pronounced in Arabic, see my other 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…

It's like building an app with Electron, but worse. At least Electron has good font rendering and some accessibility and some OS integration.
