You could call it WebAssembly

It’s not - this dude doesn’t zap himself even once.

It’s a good video though, showing how he integrated everything.

That’s just a matter of focal length or cropping

I don’t either, but in America biscuits are savory or near flavorless, not sweet like cookies.

Found this:

"A centaur is someone whose work is supercharged by automation: you are a human head atop the tireless body of a machine that lets you get more done than you could ever do on your own.

A reverse-centaur is someone who is harnessed to the machine, reduced to a mere peripheral for a cruelly tireless robotic overlord that directs you to do the work that it can’t, at a robotic pace, until your body and mind are smashed."

I’ll have to try that vsync thing when I get a new PC (laptop). I’m playing stuff on my phone or Android tablet lately

Super Hexagon

It’s about as simple as a ‘modern’ game can be (I read there was even a port of it to Commodore 64.) but it’s a finely tuned machine. When you lose - and you will, a lot - it feels like mostly your own fault and not the game’s.

The difficulty levels very accurately start at Hard for the easiest one. There are 6 total levels, the next 5 difficulties are Harder, Hardest, Hardester, Hardestest, and Hardestestest.

With much time and luck I can beat the first level (unlocking the 4th). On a lost save I had unlocked the 5th level by completing the 2nd, and have only ever seen the 6th in videos from other people. I would have to beat the 3rd to see it myself, and that’s not happening.

The criteria to beat a level is “last for 60 seconds”.

I think they are referencing how Li-ion batteries just generally have a limited number of charge cycles, so they don’t want to waste a whole one.

It didn’t help that old phone, there seem to be limits to just how much adjustment it can make (including to dying batteries with less capacity also)

Yup. Battery percentages are an abstraction over the actual voltage and remaining amp-hours - it’s a complex formula which requires calibration and can easily be a bit off.

On one of my first smart phones, after replacing the battery with a much bigger one (both capacity and physically) it would still use the old formula, so it said 100% when halfway charged and after fully charging, during use it would stay near 0 (or at it - can’t remember well) for half the actual usable time. I found an app that could show the actual voltage in the notifications, which helped a lot. (When it went under 3.5 or something, I knew it was almost out) But that number also varied with how much power was being drawn, etc.

Same camera at different times

On the left side of the comic, the desk would be visible in the bottom of the frame if the desk weren’t cut out. On the right side you can see that it is indeed cut out under the frame, as not to block the view of the people

The notch in the desk is a nice detail.

Deal.

That’s not the gotcha you seem to think it is here.

“not merely stalking people” = It’s also allowing much worse than that!

Surge!

Unfortunately, that’s how it got this way. Too many Eds.

I wish I could have that kind of optimism.

I suppose it’s much more rare for us to use 1/3 specifically. It does show up in cooking, but even there it’s hidden in the units a lot of the time.

Also applies to food, dishes (getting dusty), etc.
