Very refreshing.

Going out to sea and looking up was an experience I'll never forget.

I credit MUDding with my current typing speed.

It violates mine: on just about every other page when I press spacebar the page scrolls.
935.
by endgame 12y ago
Not only that, but it manages to break the spacebar as a scrolling tool. I'm getting really sick of webapps that are hijacking or breaking keyboard shortcuts!

I'm surprised that Papers Please is missing, given that the game has already been released on GNU/Linux release through the developer's website. I wouldn't be surprised if there is other such low-hanging fruit in their c

I don't know, I'm not a hardware guy. Battery capacity would probably suffer, limiting range. Seems like a decent idea.

The marketing video is very cringe-inducing for me as well. I think that any time you're playing music over video, there's something in the real sound that you're trying to hide. I would not be surprised if these were annoyin

Ugh, no kidding. I want to see what the skates look like up close. I want to hear what they sound like without music being played over the top. There's hardly anything useful in the video. That said, I've been looking for a decent

Same here. I want to be able to rip it to FLAC, archive the rips, convert it to Ogg Vorbis for my portable device and never have anyone take my music away from me because they revoked license keys, or the service died, or because I happen t

The Serious Sam games fit the DooM tradition, as well.

I think it's the other way around - real mode has the 640kb limit and protected mode gets you a 32-bit address space.

Even though I mostly lurk here, I find the invite-only nature of lobste.rs very off-putting. I'm not sure why.

Someone (or several dedicated someones) reimplemented KaM: http://www.kamremake.com/about/

Free software reimplementation projects go to great pains to avoid code written by people who have looked at proprietary source. I hope this rewrite extends the same courtesy.

You are definitely not alone. I'll probably take the rest of the week off from HN until they get over the fact that iOS apps now have IPC.

These things happen when people number things in sequence.

My favourite link shortener was mug.gd, which could also manipulate the page it was being sent. I remember seeing a version of a PG essay trumpeting the benefits of learning Visual Basic over Lisp :). It's dead now, demonstrating anoth

You can make it less likely that you'll fall victim to the bystander effect by precaching better responses - the heroic imagination. I first read about it here: http://www.artofmanliness.com/2010/03/14/de

The smartest way to do it is to have everyone's special snowflake languages support automake. Because automake's tarballs are so common in the free software world, every package manager has special support to make packaging them e

Why not strlen("aha") + strlen("oho")?

And the wider world would be a much better place if more people knew the command-line, the Unix philosophy and were able to unlock the true power of their machine.

Really good article, but if you're going to bundle libraries, PLEASE provide a way to make configuration fail if you can't get to the system copy. A lot of projects (libgroove included) will try the system copy and then fall back

zenbowman's reply is [dead]. Why?
957.
by endgame 13y ago
Yes, it is. automake will generate makefiles that track dependencies as a side-effect of compilation ( http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#De... ). What this means is that whenever a sou

ZZT was brilliant. So simple and abstract visually, but it was programmable! I don't know where I'd be if it wasn't for all the hours spent writing ZZT-OOP.

It's the rootkit CDs that do it for me.
