Hey bhaak -- my recollection is hazy, I think pubby is referring to the acrimony around Forest branch. I think this would've been 2014 or 2015? One core dev objected to sweeping gameplay changes merged by another dev and things went si

26 years and counting! It's passed through many able hands. My chief lingering complaint with crawl is that the game is too long. Early game is tedious and last I played seriously the midgame tended to drag on. I'd like to see the

Why are these guys throwing money after what appears to be the Juicero of geospatial indexing schemes? As others have pointed out, their word list is huge, multiple stems are included, there's no hierarchical relationship between words

Yeah, that record is largely irrelevant. Pac Man record attempts were run with three lives. TG created a new five life category. The accomplishment is tantamount to being the first person to win the 101m dash. David Race is the definitive w

My grandmother was deaf and we primarily communicated with her over TTY and fax. Before she had TTY she would call and leave a message, either on the machine or with whoever answered. In the days before widespread email and texting this was

50 Cent did this about ten years ago. He was hawking a pink sheets stock on Twitter. At least one reason the SEC didn't come down on him like a ton of bricks because he never executed the dump after pumping it.
