ledriveby··on Some Words on Programming the Atari Jaguar (2006)
Got any links or a blog that consolidates your findings? I love learning about gnarly hardware, and yes, Saturn takes the cake there. Dual SH2s and VDPs, with scaled sprite quadrilaterals for polygons... what a nightmare!
ledriveby··on American toddlers are eating more sugar than the amount recommended for adults
100% fruit juice is still bad for you; without the pulp to slow down digestion, your liver and pancreas both take a beating from digesting all that fructose at once.

I operate a 150 person forum and I, too, am scared shitless of weaponized GPDR harassment.

ledriveby··on Let’s make a JavaScript Wait function
Yes it is. Synchronous calls monopolize the event loop so everything - including page interactions - freeze until the control flow finishes busy-waiting. Yay, single threading.

ledriveby··on Chrome 56 will mark HTTP pages with password fields as non-secure

ledriveby··on 4WD vs. AWD. What's the Difference?
Subaru's higher end AWD system has separate output shafts from the engine for the front and the rear, with electronically-controlled clutches modifying the torque. Default is 60/40 front biased, but it can send 100% of the torque to either end of the car. Excellent performance with no manual mode switching needed, also manages good fuel economy at the same time. Best system in the business.

ledriveby··on Inside Amazon: Wrestling Big Ideas in a Bruising Workplace
I wonder if ex-Amazon employees will seed Seattle's startup scenes with "the Amazon way". Maybe they'll do the exact opposite, since they've seen how unhappy life can be when they're treated as grist for the mill.
