Says who? The point of the summary is so that I don't have to go look at the diff and figure out what happened.

People still understand metallurgy and casting even though machines make all the paperclips.

Huh? The max plan is $200/month. How are you spending $75 in 4 hrs?

Why? The software is still there and you can still go choose to use it.

> I wonder if it's using the background tile map for this instead of sprites

Yes, it's all background tiles being loaded continuously from the SD card. We created the tiles with a custom tile de-maker.

The bitrate of the PCM is determined based on how quickly you can write a byte to the register. The fastest you could write general data is once every 6 cycles, which gives ~298 MHz of sample rate, so 44.2 kHz is easily doable if that's all you want to do with the CPU.

There are craters on the moon that are billions of years old. Also, we could probably bury tablets and artifacts.

I'm somewhat surprised he didn't talk about evidence of space-faring ancient civilizations. If humans perish and a new intelligent species comes around in millions of years, they would be able to find stuff we've left on the moon, provided we pepper it all over its surface so as to survive any future meteor impacts.

> scales nicely to whatever size you make it

In Programmer mode if you type in a number larger than 32 bits and the window is scaled to its smallest size, the lower row of binary is cut off a little bit.

You cannot enter fractional values in programmer mode.

This is reasonable, but what is incredibly annoying is that when you type in a number while in Programmer mode, if you then change to Scientific mode, it blows away the number you typed in.

No. Even if you wrote a single digit in each planck volume of the observable universe, you'd run out of space.

It is safe to say that there are far fewer than a Graham's Number of things in here with us.

Looks like you need to indent that code

  (1..5).map{|n| n**n}.reduce(:*) == 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000

Or if we're golfing

  (1..5).reduce{|t,n|t*n**n}

New comment by godd2 in "Using Git Wrong"

A linked list is a binary tree, and using git in a centralized fashion is a legitimate use of git.

Not everyone wants a distributed version control system, and not every team is ready for a more complicated process.
