Well, finding free space is easy in GBC games. Just go to the end of a bank. |

コメント さくせいちゅう Context: it’s Missing Number’s Pokédex entry. Probably filler text of some sort. |

Out of curiosity, are there equivalent kanji? |

Sorry, no context, other than that it’s from Pokémon. It seems to be completely unused. |

This list is one of a set of seven lists:
This list might might be made up of multiple lists (maybe one for badges, one for egg/chick, one for metals, one for titles); something similar happens in the “item list”, which actually also contains the list of names of floors that you see in an elevator.

I use OpenBSD on all my computers. It’s pretty cool. |

Dvorak: Qwerty: I came across some stenography software the other day. It looks quite interesting… not sure it’s worth getting a whole new keyboard for it though. |

Originally posted by Typhoid I wouldn’t say I gained any speed. I used to type about 100wpm Qwerty, but for a short time after switching to Dvorak I lost it completely, then gained most of it back, and now I type 80wpm Qwerty/100wpm Dvorak. Anecdotally, the biggest benefit is comfort—Dvorak is much easier on my hands. It’s also a good way to keep other people from using your computer without permission Originally posted by Typhoid It’s not so bad. If you can touch‐type, you’ll do fine. |

For the record, GMail doesn’t block anything sent through SMTP, unlike the web interface. |

Originally posted by Rena Its intention is definitely to skip the majority of the intro. It’s not a flag that is set after going through the intro. I have yet to find any code that actually sets the bit in question; the code may have been removed before release, or I just might not have found it yet. ____________________ |

Here is the code in question (loosely documented):
It skips the entire first part of the intro, but not the entire thing (Oak still says “Ninten! Your very own Pokémon legend…”). Yes, I believe it’s an intentional debug flag. ____________________ |

Originally posted by Joe No, it only converts characters that don’t exist in Win‐1252. That is the wrong thing to do. ____________________ |

No, the board is completely encoding‐agnostic. Hence why everybody’s browser detects it differently. The database is ostensibly cp1252, but that really makes no difference in what can be stored or how it gets displayed (case in point). The safe thing on Jul is to use HTML character references for everything. Using win‐1252 in posts will only make the eventual Unicode transition harder (mostly due to MySQL being stupid and silently truncating fields for no reason). And it still messes up posts when the browser autodetects differently. So please, use HTML references everywhere, and don’t switch your browser to win‐1252. |

Looks neat. Any chance of getting this to work with Wario Land 4? Will you release the source code? |

Essay time! Wordiness in licensing is a real problem. Here are the word counts of several common licenses:
Personally, I use the ISC. It is short, permissive, and understandable: just a grant of permissions (first paragraph) and denial of warranty (second paragraph). MIT, zlib, et cetera are fine too—they’re in the same vein, just a bit wordier.
Compare this to the pages and pages of license and accompanying FAQ associated with the multiple versions of the GPL. Creative Commons has the same problem—at least they have human‐readable summaries, but the underlying legalese is long and complex. The other problem with GPL‐alikes is that they’re incompatible with so many other free licenses. The GPL isn’t just incompatible with permissive licenses like ISC/BSD/MIT; it’s not just incompatible with other copyleft licenses like CDDL and Mozilla; it’s even incompatible with itself—version 2 and version 3 are not compatible! This isn’t just a theoretical problem either:
All this with supposedly “free” code. This is the biggest reason I always release my projects under permissive, non‐GPL licenses. In response to this whole “licensing is too complicated” thing, a lot of people are just putting their stuff online with no copyright attached, with the implicit suggestion that people do whatever they want with it. Or they put a cute little statement like “This isn’t worth copyrighting, so I’m making this available for anyone to use for free.” I understand the desire, but please don’t do this! In most countries today (including USA and the EU), everything is copyrighted by default. Just releasing the source isn’t enough, because even if you do that, legally nobody has the right to modify the code, and nobody has the right to share changes, until the copyright holder explicitly grants that right. Yes, it sucks to have to do that—but it’s the world we live in today. At least put in something like WTFPL or ISC. People who don’t care about copyright will use your code anyway, but this way people who want or need to be careful about legality will be able to use it too. tl;dr: Don’t just put the source online. Use WTFPL or ISC. |

Big Giant Circles’s Impostor Nostalgia is one of my absolute favorite electronic albums. Not from a video game, but definitely video game–inspired. |

Originally posted by Torchickens Glitterberri, padz and I figured this out on IRC about a year ago, but it never got posted anywhere (one of the problems with IRC). You know the guy who sits on couches in Pokémon Centers? He’s not a normal person, but part of the tileset:
His text is implemented as a hidden object, the same mechanism as Itemfinder items and gym statues. The unused text in rest houses is also implemented as a hidden object, so it was probably a man on a couch (or something similar) in a previous version of the tileset. |
