Which is why there's the biannual Diablo 2 clone that flops, and the "horrible", "failed", Diablo III is on its 24th season and sold like gangbusters on consoles.

You don't have to go back to the 1700s to find African Americans being treated poorly by the judicial system. It's a weird shifting of the sands that isn't necessary to the conversation, when the context is a subject that is

If there were someway to sync Vivaldi with an iOS browser, I'd have already switched. I've really been quite impressed with it, and it seems better every time I check, but I get a lot of use about the cross-device features of Fire

They mention that several other such ports like the audio and power are easily replaceable so that seems a fair assumption. The modules are also track-mounted and appear to lock into place somehow, so it seems unlikely that the internal con

The Framework's ports are all on user-selectable, replaceable expansion modules. If one of the USB-C ports dies, you just unplug it and install a new one.

Rich can try to redefine the English language all he wants, but he'll find it a lot more difficult than redefining Clojure. The fact is, the solutions the core team have been putting out for the last several years have been neither sim

A language cannot "survive the next 50 years" if people are too hidebound to refuse to let go of the current 50 year old language. You are asking for the equivalent of those job listings that demand "10+ years experience&quot

IMO C# is picking up a lot of small things that make it incrementally better than it was before, and at some point it's not worth the hassle to go to F#. F# features are gradually added to C# so C# developers have time to pick them up

Recognition algorithms often make assumptions about the way people "should" be shaped according to their recorded gender or the way the machine attempts to "guess" said gender, and a clash in expectations gets flagged an

The report dialogue has also been broken for awhile now, and the new support for image+text posts was backported in a pretty ugly way too.

When someone continually milks customers for more and more cash on the promise of something never delivered, that's called "exploitation" and "a con job." Minecraft launched into EA with a game that was still actual

I always wondered how and why there were so many Pixel Dungeon clones, and I only just now learned via this article that it's because the original was open-sourced.

Ahh! That was the missing piece of the puzzle, thank you. Also played a bit with the Glitch import on an Elm import but found it broke npm in weird ways (something about a file being moved but not found?), but then the Github import of the

OK, experimenting with this example, I attempted to import a simple Racket web app ( https://github.com/jarcane/RantStack ). I've provided links to the REPLs too for both attempts. attempt 1) I was able to import a

Neat. If this works as advertised (and it seems to), this rockets it past the capabilities of Glitch when it comes to language support. I had to do a fair bit of work to get anything but node running on Glitch, and since then it seems like

Would like to see more specifics than just "AMD Radeon Graphics". That could mean literally anything from Intel integrated level performance, to a proper dedicated GPU, though for the price here I'm guessing on the former ...
