Being more coherent than English is not exactly a high bar to clear...

(at least when it comes to languages based on the Latin script)

For those who are not aware, Soviet scientists actually developed ternary computers back in the '50s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setun

Ternary encodings are also popular for data transmission, for example both USB4 and GDDR7 use PAM-3 encoding.

Obrigado for the explanation and the interesting link :)

Yes they are. Every time I visit Tokyo I try to avoid Shinjuku because it is extremely confusing and I always get lost.

Signs are mostly useful for people who are new to a place, if you need a significant amount of time to familiarize yourself then they are useless.

How do you expect tourists, including people coming from other regions of Japan, to familiarize themselves with the layout?

I grew up in Spain close to the border with Portugal, so even though I don't speak the language (something which I really regret) I am familiar with it. What are the major differences between European and Brazilian Portuguese? I only know that Brazilians use the gerund like us Spanish speakers, whereas European Portuguese uses "estar a" + infinitive.

The proper way to generate helium is to use a deuterium-tritium fusion reactor.

I don't know why you are getting downvoted. I am Spanish and I don't know of anybody who was required to read Machiavelli in high school.

41 years old Spanish guy here, Machiavelli was definitely NOT in our required reading list, at least not back in my day.

He might have died 50 years ago, but sadly his shadow is very, very long even to this day...

But the name is wrong; Mario is Italian, not French, shouldn't it be IlMario.

I always though that the audio mix happened in the 32X itself, much like the video mix, but I just checked the schematics and you are right (page 7 of https://segaretro.org/File:Genesis32XUSManual.pdf)

I have a Japanese 32X and a copy of Knuckles Chaotix, but I have yet to play it so I didn't notice the sound xD

I think the article is sorta wrong about the sound setup, the Mega Drive I does have a sound input on the expansion port, and mixes it into its sound output.

The Megadrive has a stereo sound input on the cartridge port too, for a total of 3 stereo sound sources (the YM2612, the MegaCD, the cartridge) plus one mono source (the SN76489 PSG).

As far as I know no original release ever used the cartridge input, but nowadays it is supported by many flashcarts to emulate the MegaCD or to provide CD quality audio tracks (MSU-MD and MD+ romhacks), and it has been used by some recent games.

In W40k the primary form of FTL travel is the Immaterium or Warp, a realm of pure psychic energy inhabited by the Chaos gods and countless demons. Spaceships traveling through the Warp need powerful protective shields lest they be possessed and consumed by said demons... which is exactly what happens in the movie.

Nintendo?

A lot of the software being rewritten in Rust is not GPL to begin with, like PostgreSQL here which has its own BSD/MIT-like license: https://www.postgresql.org/about/licence/

I have both of them and wear them to work regularly xD

The guy who founded the new political party Team Mirai also wears it frequently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takahiro_Anno

I had a Gamecube back in the day and I remember its optical drive was quite fast and loading times were short, but other machines were nowhere as fast, the PS1 and PS2 were notorious for long loading times.

Midway's most famous and controversial game is, without a doubt, Mortal Kombat.

Sure, if you want to be bound to one single platform (linux)

Not a big deal if you are developing server software, as most servers nowadays are Linux.

More like it has not been simplified yet.

Nowadays the recomended thousands separator by most international standards is a blank space.

And having been raised in the continent, I personally find using commas for thousands disgusting.

I prefer en-IE, which is the same plus Euro as the default currency.

You might own the disc, but what about the optical drive that has to read that disc? That is already happening with the 5th (PS1/SS/N64) and 6th generation (DC/PS2/GC/XB) consoles, the optical drives are dying and there are no proper replacements. Congratulations, you own the disc but you can't read it anymore.

The parent comment is talking about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCM_adaptor

The first digital audio systems encoded the audio as a black-and-white video signal on video tapes. 44100 HZ was selected at it was the highest sampling rate achievable on both NTSC and PAL video tapes.

No, he was talking about the Opus Dei because this code quality can only be reached by God himself /jk

Is DoDS still going? I played the heck out of it around 2008/9, it was the best online experience I ever had thanks to the fantastic community.

CERN is so big that they have their own IXP: https://cixp.net/

Also, the web was invented at CERN, so like the other comment said, if someone deserves at gTLD is them.

I have the opposite opinion, TLDs should have been restricted to ISO 3166 codes only, with only a few exceptions for international organizations and private networks.
