I can't quite remember how those things were figured out either, but I think it was probably partially word of mouth. Games also had tips for memory configuration in their readme files or manuals. There was also at least one book I had

In my limited experience, it has been easier to get a good bunch of conventional memory available in DOSBox (and out of the box -- no pun intended) than it was in MS-DOS. A freshly "booted" session seems to show 632k free right no

Years back, the conventional wisdom seemed to be that MySQL used to be faster, and PostgreSQL more correct. Over time, according to that same conventional wisdom, MySQL got more correct than it used to be and PostgreSQL got faster than it u

Well, reverse engineering binary data is hard and laborious, and probably incomprehensible to almost any 12-year-old (and the majority of adults). (I'm assuming they were binary. I really can't remember what they were.)

I've played the first reboot in the ironman mode, and there's a point to avoiding save-scumming, but there's a point where I find it may actually make the game less enjoyable. I found myself making every move so calculated

It did get slightly comical when one of them died (or you started another game from the beginning) and you had the second or third guy with the exact same name down the road, though. But it's true, you did grow attached. Since in some

I think it's different in that in a state of flow, you are intensely focused on whatever it is you're doing, and are able to maintain that focus without struggle. In a "zombie" state, you may not really be focusing on an

I don't know that particular theory, but I don't think it would really make sense to try and have a unified theory of disease, alternative or otherwise. (I don't think medical science really even tries to have one.) Various d

I'm pretty much that way, too. I think I also just become more irritable if it's been too long since the last time I ate. It definitely doesn't seem to improve mental acuity for me, and any kind of physical activity is just g

Some of the older Civilization games (Civ 2?) gave points in the final score for happy and content citizens, but not for unhappy ones. While that's a minor detail (you usually don't win the game by score anyway), I think that was

You can still protect your artillery, although it's more complicated. You may need to position melee units tactically so that they and their zones of control [0] prevent enemy units from easily (and quickly, during a single turn) reach

Okay, I didn't actually know about (or remember) that one. Regardless of their intentions, I don't understand how anyone could have thought that was a good idea.

Very few concepts or techniques, whether in mathematics, CS or elsewhere, are named after people by themselves . It's rather that others start calling the concepts by the person's name when discussing the concept or algorithm, af

You wouldn't have a compiler without someone having developed formal language theory. Or, at least, probably not one built on a solid theoretical foundation that actually happens to be helpful. You wouldn't have complexity analysi

Out of general interest, which kinds of OSS have you come across that aren't packaged for Fedora? I'm sure there are obviously some; anything proprietary or with patent encumbrance requires using rpmfusion or something, and that m

The transition in Chromium packaging is understandable from a maintenance point of view. However, the general argument that you can just keep using the system without using snaps "just fine" doesn't really hold if the snaps b

I agree that something based strongly on principle rather than convenience is less likely to drift from them, for better and for worse. Free software doesn't need to be copyleft, though. The MIT license, for example, is a free software

This probably varies by the person. Some people might get a single episode, then get through it one way or another, and never have another one. Others might have a lifelong tendency or vulnerability to it, and in that sense it might always

YouTube etc. don't have DRM in the video they serve, as far as I know. Hardware accelerated decoding of DRM'ed video is a completely different story, and the only browser I have seen do that on my machine even on Windows 10 is MS

It still seems, at least based on anecdata and a hunch, that decode acceleration through VA-API works more often in VLC than in Firefox. VLC on Linux systematically hardware decodes H.264 on my aging integrated GPU, but I haven't got i
