That advertising campaign wasn't Romero's idea; it was the idea of someone else at Ion Storm. Romero was initially a bit hesitant on the slogan but caved to pressure. At least that was how it was presented in (iirc) Masters of Doo

I have an unlimited gigabit connection that I pay $120NZD per month for. And for content on good CDNs or hosted in the country I do get near the advertised speed. It took me just under 4 minutes to download the Star Wars Battlefront 2 beta

They are not porting, they have built an emulator that runs the 360 OS and then they boot the games inside of that. >Delving deeper, Spencer explained exactly how the emulator packages the Xbox 360 games, and how it compares to Xbox 360&

Mirrors Edge is practically guaranteed to cause nausea unless you have an iron stomach. Doesn't have native VR support and it's a first person platformer. Not to mention the fact the CV versions of the headsets coming out are goin

It's a third party plugin, it's definitely a Neovim issue because the file corruption doesn't happen with Vim. No idea why it happens. I'm fine living with it because I just check the file back out if it corrupts it. It&

This doesn't even seem like an accurate simulation, if bus 1 is unloading/loading at a bus stop and bus 2 catches it, bus 2 waits for bus 1. This makes sense in the context of the website because buses always drop off/pick up

They don't have to release the source code. They just need to stop running the bytecode through an obfuscator.

The website font? I'm viewing it on a 27" 2560x1440 screen, Chrome 42 and OS X 10.10 and the fonts are normal sized for me. In fact larger than the HN font.

I'd take a look at React depending on the complexity of what you're building. If it's not too complicated, React is fairly easy to pick up and it's a joy to work with. If it's a larger project the guidance of Angula

Pretty sure they still are syntactic sugar for prototypes, just like in ES6. But SoundScript enforces that you cannot modify prototypes. There's not really a problem with that, it's doing it for speed. So it's not for your av
