Pham Nuwen posted:My wife and I were talking the other night about how annoying it is to try and search through all the streaming services. We figure it's only another couple years before someone starts offering package services where you e.g. pick 6 streaming providers for $50/mo (cheaper than buying them separately at $11.99 each!) and maybe it provides some unified way to search across them all. Or maybe such a thing already exists and it's just not big yet? roku lets you do a search across a bunch of services

Computer viking posted:High monitor refresh rates feel notably nicer in fast games, but I assume the returns start diminishing somewhere. If I, a 38 year old spare time gamer playing ten year old games, can easily tell the inference between 60Hz and 144Hz, then there's at least room for differences on that scale to matter? Mechanically-induced input lag on computers is long enough, and experiments control for it poorly enough, that literature benchmarks for human reaction times are now noticeably higher than they were before the advent of computer-based testing.

FilthyImp posted:My college roommates were engineers (computer and electrical, I think). They were looking over group work together for a class once and had the funniest exchange to me, an Eng Lang major. Stacked NOT gates are an easy way to delay the signal! This is useful for doing things like edge detection, so you can trigger a circuit exactly once when someone presses a button.

Computer viking posted:Huh, I'm not an electrical engineer (like, at all), but I'd have assumed you'd do something funky with a capacitor for that. I guess stacking NOT gates is easier if they're a standard component you can just plonk in there? they're a lot more predictable, and you generally don't want to mix analog and digital signals technically there are also buffer chips which delay a signal and do nothing else, but why keep those in stock when you can just have a pile of not gates

Powered Descent posted:Ordering "just the burger" could be construed as "just the patty, no bun" (as is sometimes ordered by Atkins dieters) so it makes sense that restaurants would make a practice of referring to the whole construction as the "sandwich", for clarity. At one point i tried ordering it as a plain burger instead of a combo and got something with no patty

Dip Viscous posted:What was the deal with MP3s that had random Windows and ICQ notification sounds throughout them? How does that even happen inadvertently? Were there people that were like "I really need to rip this sweet track, but I don't have a CD-ROM drive so I'll hold a mic up to a boombox in front of my PC"? I have seen people who apparently meticulously do low bitrate screen recordings of whole seasons of already-pirated series they are streaming from elsewhere (leaving in clicking the play button and progress bar)

According to capcom guys who worked on megaman, including secrets like hidden items or metalman being one-hit by his own weapon was entirely bait for game magazine coverage.
