- hmottestad 11y agoPro tip. If you are using a plugin to force HTTPS, then you will be redirected from - https://archive.assembly.org/... https://archive.assembly.org/.... to - http://www.assembly.org/... http://www.assembly.org/.... And you will get a bunch of 404s
- zaf 11y agoEntering manually (HTTPS) https://www.assembly.org/blogs/2/posts/24/ https://www.assembly.org/blogs/2/posts/24/ works...? Why would you get a redirect? EDIT: on safari it doesn't but firefox it does redirect...
- Mithaldu 11y agoTo watch the winners of what is usually the highlight* of a demoparty: https://youtu.be/VD8c8XagJms https://youtu.be/VD8c8XagJms - https://youtu.be/wzMmzqio9sA https://youtu.be/wzMmzqio9sA - https://youtu.be/idOK0JlRhZY https://youtu.be/idOK0JlRhZY Also, this cracked me up: SPORTS - Disk throw * Some would argue that that should be the AMIGAAAAA compo. I don't disagree, but note that the AMIGAAAAAA compo is usually a little less accessible to the general public.
- elpuri 11y agoDisk throwing has been a standard demo/copy party event since the dinosaurs roamed the earth (at least in Finland). I remember there being a disk throwing compo at Assembly '92.
- onion2k 11y agoAs a web dev doing 3D stuff, I'm seriously impressed that the 6th place entry in the demo comp (I Want To See Small Worlds[1]) was created with three.js. They're doing great things with it. [1] http://archive.assembly.org/2015/demo/i-want-to-see-small-worlds-by-primitive http://archive.assembly.org/2015/demo/i-want-to-see-small-wo...
- yAnonymous 11y agoThe 1k intro winner was also done in JS: http://archive.assembly.org/2015/1k-intro/blck4777-by-p01-ribbon http://archive.assembly.org/2015/1k-intro/blck4777-by-p01-ri...
- pera 11y agoand three.js itself was created by a spanish demoscener (trace/mrdoob)
- bane 11y agoIt's probably a good idea to point out that this party had a robust Amiga demo competition this year as well. Remarkable.
- vanderZwan 11y agoI wouldn't be surprised if the anniversary had anything to do with that.
- wonkaWonka 11y agoWow, that page looks like it's an ad for some kind of sports bar or monster truck rally. Was that on purpose?
- chippy 11y agoWhat is interesting is that it's possible to throw a disk (69m) further than a CD (68m). Perhaps the hole in the CD makes a difference, or the disks are smaller overall?
- knodi123 11y agoI suspect it's more about the weight being concentrated (liek how you can throw a wadded up ball of paper farther than you can throw an unfolded sheet). I also think floppies weigh about 20% more.
