I'm under the impression that VP9 is in the same generation with H265 (in terms of video size and encoding/decoding performance) but VP9 is free and open, so as a consumer, I'll happily accept if everybody just uses VP9.

I didn't take the test but it might involve sudoku. I remember taking a test of similar fashion some time ago, and the final (hardest) question completely threw me off. I got curious and asked others, and was told it's sudoku related.

Pattern puzzles are good. I remember trying a test on the official Mensa website 10 years ago, and gave up midway because there were lots of word puzzles, which were biased in favor of native English speakers.

If you do CSS you'd know the best fonts for 16px isn't the best fonts for 18px, and definitely not the best fonts for H1 H2 etc.

The Verdana font that HN and reddit uses are pretty good for reading in small text.

I just want to buy the shows I want to watch, and permanently own them under my Netflix account. I don't mind buying them for $30 a season. Just like Steam.

Hey you know what? I think Steam should probably do just that!

After finishing the tutorial, for 10+ games I was under the false impression that a powerup is immediately used at the spot where you acquire it. I think if powerups are named "weapons", it should be less likely to cause this fusion for future players, because the word "weapon" implies that you can carry it around.

How do I know the effect of a powerup before stepping on it?

I'd call it "the best way to improve your Hearthstone ranking".
