I understand that the inspiration for this talk comes from the fact that Doom is using 3.141592657 instead of the correct 3.141592654 in the source code. John Carmack admits that he incorrectly recalled the ten digit op pi.
- nuancebydefault 2y agoHe didn't recall it correctly? Why didn't he asked Siri on his cell connected iPad?
- fjfaase 2y agoThe original Doom was released in 1993 for DOS [1]. The iPad came in 2010 [2]. Siri was only released in 2011 [3].

- nuancebydefault 2y agoSo funny that people took me seriously... I thought the over the topness was large enough to detect the irony. I really did not want to take the irony down by adding this ugly /s token... Pitty for my karma points... Edit: my muscle memory of right hand on mouse, left hand on asd, starts tickling when seeing these video's after 'bring 'm on' is clicked.
