Oh man you're right. How could I forget about Unreal Tournament? I totally forget that mod player I found, but it was fun to cobble together playlists. By the way if you liked the Deus Ex soundtrack you can check out the Sonic Augmenta

I haven't thought about Realmz in a long-ass time. It had some really crazy tracks and was the only game I know of that used MOD instead of MIDI for its music.

I don't see anything wrong with a social media ban for teens in concept. In execution, it'll be difficult to do effectively though. What I would like to see is changes to the tax code to disincentivize the social media business mo

I went in expecting yet another screed about how passkeys were not issued by RMS in a FOSS encyclical, and therefore not only were they insecure, but they were also a morally bankrupt abomination. I was pleasantly surprised to read an actua

There's also "date the rate, marry the price". If you're a buyer and think that rates are going to come down within a couple of years, you can lock in the lower price of your home for property tax purposes and then refin

That's the sense I get from this post. Lots of emphatic proclamations, virtually zero actual argument. There's a statement that "consciousness is very likely biological"... and then that's it. No argument for it, no

So it's your own anecdotal experience, but someone should build a service to track it?

I don't think that's completely true. When times are good, intelligence and education probably come out in the wash. But when times are bad, and people are losing their livelihoods, intelligence has a lot to do with how blame is a

It was that lightweight because it provided basically none of the functionality that is essential to a modern OS. Because it wasn't a modern OS. The surface area of stuff that an OS has to do today is absolutely massive, and the depend

Yeah that's why step 0 is to tell the LLM to write a test suite for the thing you want to rewrite. It'll do that, but it does require adult supervision. Once you have that test suite, you can send the LLM into an inner dev loop. L

by EPWN3D 21d ago
Yes like any tool, LLMs can be used poorly. But they do enable large-scale rewrites or poor-quality code because they are capable of understanding it and enumerating its behaviors in a matter of minutes or hours. It's the kind of under

That is true presuming that the author does not intend to keep this fasting regime up after they reach their goal weight. There are certainly people who do long fasts on a regular basis.

300k is a huge amount of money if you have no dependents. Otherwise it's comfortably middle class, but that's it.

by EPWN3D 28d ago
Yeah this sounds a lot like a natural evolution of SIMD for me, just cut out the middleman and put the SIMD units straight into RAM. I can imagine some power savings for always-on display applications too. Rather than periodically waking th

I'd be surprised if there wasn't a similar dynamic for men. While men probably have a wider range of "acceptable" physical flaws as compared to women, that doesn't mean there isn't a range. A morbidly obese m

Their FAQ says you must use the web interface to edit your rules. But this is worth a shot.

Love them, but I wish they had a way to upload new sieve rules via an API. I'm probably going to try them with my own domain at some point since I think they have an option to just deliver all mail bound for that domain, which makes se

It's kind of how stupid people think the law works. "The cop misspelled my last name on the ticket your honor, so I don't have to pay it, checkmate!"

I'm sorry, but this is horseshit. Snow Leopard is beloved by the Mac user base for a reason. It was legitimately faster and more stable than any prior release.

It really was a bit weird, games that got ported to Mac almost always had higher-quality graphics. The X-Wing port looked incredible compared to the PC version, and so did TIE Fighter. For whatever reason, the default viewport on Mac OS was

You jerks always got the best games lol. But I always lorded over my PC friends that they didn't know what they were missing with Marathon.

Yeah it was seriously like mining for gold back then. I remember being at a Best Buy and just happening to stumble upon Duke Nukem 3D for Mac OS a week or so before its official release. Snatched that bad boy right up. I think I'd move

by EPWN3D 2mo ago
It was either that or someone made a last-minute decision to pull support, and they just forgot to stop building that slice. In fact, I'd be willing to believe they did some initial bring up work on 68k since X-Wing ran on 68k. Either

There are limits to the lies they can tell, IIRC. They are limited to lies which would not harm an innocent person. So if an officer says "We have your fingerprints on the murder weapon", that is fine, because an innocent person w

I remember when TIE Fighter finally came out for the Mac, I just begged my parents to order it from Mac Warehouse or whichever catalogue it was in. I didn't read the system requirements, which said it needed a PowerPC. I was still rock
