I haven't played much of the arcade version of Contra, but on the NES version, the S can actually shoot faster. There's a limit to the bullets you can have on screen, so if you mash the button fast enough, you get to shoot again as soon as a bullet leaves the screen. If there's nothing to stop your bullets before the hit the edge of the screen, you'll end up with a line of bullets in front and a spread of 3 bullets. If there are any obstacles that stop your bullets early, eventually, you just end up with a stream of bullets in a straight line in front of you with no more spread.
The laser only does 4 hits per beam, but you can only have one beam on screen at a time, and if you fire again before it hits, it just disappears before firing the new shot.
I just meant you can have an internal fan that's larger than your heatsink, and a shroud to direct the airflow to it. It requires less vertical space, but more horizontal space.
They're going to get sued by all the developers who already put out games with the existing license that Unity is trying to unilaterally change the terms of. They're trying to charge money for installs on games that are already published and already sold.
If you look at the characters the Japanese use for the name of their country, 日本 is pronounced Nihon in Japanese. The same characters in Chinese spell Riben (in Pinyin) which is pronounced closer to "Erben" but almost with a J sound, especially in the northern part of the country. If you heard the Chinese pronunciation, you could easily understand how a foreigner would translate it to "Japan."
For all the stupid shit that Elon Musk has said and done over the years, at least his quote at the end of this article makes sense:
This is bizarre. They want us to pay them for traffic to their site where they make advertising revenue and we don’t!?
Back in the old days of the internet, you would have to pay the bigger sites to have them link back to your site. Now the government decides that it should be the other way around. It was a stupid law from the start, and now they're finding out why.
I don't think anybody really cares about an extra half millimetre of thickness, especially if it means that you can save hundreds in replacement costs and extend its life by a few years. Nobody's buying an iPhone and busting out the calipers to compare it to their previous phone.
The burner has two zones. A small one in the middle, and a wider ring around. If you turn to the left, you only turn the middle part on from High to low, and if you turn right, you turn both on from low to high.
If you've read the article, they mention that nobody has seen the final branding yet. The logo we see now is not what they're using to sell the product.
He's also had other projects like a free Pantone competitor that he's defended successfully. Apparently he knows what he's doing.
