Both Dune and Dune II were released in 1992, Dune was interactive adventure from Cryo, Dune II was RTS from Westwood. Dune II was also re-released as Dune 2000 for Windows. Dune was not bad, but personally I love Dune II a lot. It was the f

While I really liked the neat API and it's easy to use, the index performance and ram/disk size is really disappointing in a use case I oversee. Typesense in my opinion is much better on performance (ymmv but in my case it's

This calls back a lot of good memories. In additional to the cool tricks you mentioned, I recall the limited 256 or 16 color also created some innovative ways to use color palettes dynamically. The limited built in PC speaker also pushed t

a bit OT but I'm curious what's current status and usage data for YouTube-dl and its popular forks (e.g. yt-dlc, yt-dlp)? They all seems to be active to different degree(last commit is 2mth, 2w, 2d ago)? and not merging backing to

Appreciate NYC finding ways to push up vax% but not sure what to say about the app they are promoting. Just checked this "NYC COVID Safe" app[1] which is claimed to be "Key to NYC". All it does is taking and storing a ph

It’s definitely a progress for Instagram but probably a little one if the algorithm sorting is not changed. For those who may need, there have been browser addons for Twitter and Facebook to do the same. [1] Also worth noting Mastodon has t
