This was also the first game I played on my OWN computer, around the age of 6 or 7, an at that time already extremely outdated, Olivetti M24SP with amber screen, was a beautiful and VERY computery-computer. Sopwith, AllyCat, 3Deamon, Digger

Well, that seems obvious ? Of course they are? If you've booked a flight at a certain date, it's obviously because you need transportation at that date. If you cannot be transported at the right time, the transportation is in man

I had a backlit retroreflective color lcd in one of my old nokia phones, it was absolutely amazing, it was fine and good in the dark, as any phone, but pull it out into the sunlight and it was super sharp. That's what.. 15 years ago no

This is why I only ever use xterm with the default bitmap font, it's literally the only one where I'm absolutely sure which character is which.

I started using computers in the 90s, my parents about 5 years later than me. I built a computer for my dad, at the time it ran Windows 2000, and I was already looking at Linux. I couldn't switch my dad to Linux because his favourite g

I wonder how much stolen goods fall in value in general, I'd have thought it'd generally be more than 1/3, more like a tenth of the legal price?

I tend to disagree, even with superhuman pattern matching, what makes a frame unique is everything in it which does NOT follow the pattern, the way the grain is distributed, the nth order reflections and shadows, is what makes it what it is

It used to be that (rational) people would be fairly in agreement that one cannot extract information which is not there. That's why we laugh at the "zoom -> 9 pixels -> enhance -> clear picture -> zoom ->.."

That's what I made hedonjs for, a kind of repl for doing more than the node repl, it allows you to slowly build out your program without restarting it, adding and editing functions (and callbacks, with a slight bit of trickery) and var

I think it's a strong "it depends", if the script interface with data used/produced by the project, sure, seems natural.. If the script does something more system-near and the main language is not as convenient for it, t

Burgers.. They are not transported via HTTP (yet), and still, we can't buy them due to IT trouble? Seems easy enough.. You tell what you want, they make it, you hand over your cash money and they hand over the burger.

I was surprised the first time I wrote a GUI framework in C, and i happened to be like this as well, everything on the screen just happens to have the properties which a window has.. A position, bounds, a drawing call, some child elements.
