In m_st's defense, this wasn't really an "arcade" version of SMB, but rather they took an NES, slapped 10 games in it, and put it in an arcade cabinet (not literally, but functiona…

Mobile as in "portable". Which could include any array of portable (and non-phone) devices.

Actually, if you slow it down, the left/right legs are stil not quite perfectly in sync (at least not in this case): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuyeVN7PuTM …

I hope by "mobile" you don't mean "mobile phones". Ugh. I know Nintendo has partnered with DeNA [1] to build mobile apps, but I hope they remain mostly disconnected, and that …

The left and right front/hind legs moving in sync looks unnatural. I wonder if this is ultimately the best way to distribute weight and balance of a four-legged object, and why living four-legged…

Even if this were true -- which is debatable -- I think the much more likely scenario is that the employer has had problems in the past, and very possibly in the present (whether the fault of the empl…

It's fascinating (not being snarky) that this post has received about 50+ votes since I first saw it, and I've not once been able to pull the site up completely (never made it past the bot d…

Interesting. I would have thought "no longer feeling full" would have been reward enough for the behavior to be learned.

Is there a story leading up to this one? I guess I was looking for answers to questions like: - At what point did Sudan become the last male northern white rhino? - Were similar conservation and breed…

Well, (A) has a tracking device. All the (B)s don't. If they did, then yeah, this would work. Right?

Sounds like the OP was never a "programmer", but rather a farmer trapped inside a programmer's job. I think it takes courage (and a bit of risk) to completely shift the course of your c…

While I agree with this, the unfortunate reality is that with the iPad specifically, older versions become useless as Apple pushes OSes that demand more from the hardware, and performance becomes a hu…

> Personally I find the increasing emphasis on work as a way to derive personal satisfaction troubling. It looks like a subtle trap to me. A way to convince people to forgo time with their family,…

"1) Never put your family, friends, or significant other low on your priority list." I would have worded this as: "Always put your family, friends, and significant other at the top on…

"I'll have to continually go back and re-read what I feel like I've just read." This is me. "and how I image most people read most of the time." I wish I knew if this…

I didn't think phrase matching (quotes) was ever broken? I know Google dropped the "+" filter a while back, but I still continue to use phrase matching quite heavily, and it seems to st…

I've actually considered using this approach to build dynamic video game music.

I'm a bit surprised that one of my favorite "poppy" progressions -- bVI bVII I -- isn't more common. Or, is it that the database isn't very exhaustive yet? http://w…

I was thinking specifically about Samsung and iPhones.

When will phone makers start building these into phones so that I don't have to have attached to my phone a proprietary case -- or some special case to support a proprietary charging pad -- that …

Does this still come with the required bloated and brittle metadata libraries and structure that prevents you from setting it up on a shared NAS so that your other non-Mac machines can access it? This…

Yeah, that would have been nice. But I can imagine it would be pretty expensive and time consuming to obtain authentic footage of each of these games, particularly some of the more obscure (and theref…

A lot of negativity posted on this by a lot of people, including myself, just to be negative. But here's why I (and I bet many others) really dislike this: it tightly couples purchasing everyda…
