The PC speaker sounds used by Doom aren't so much lifted from Shadow Knights as they are shared between a lot of the early id Software games - the sounds in Doom were also used in Keen, Wolf3D, Shadow Knights, etc. A lot of their earl

Doom is playable (albeit by reducing the viewport to a postage stamp) on a 386; I'd be curious how your patch works on the 386 considering how much worse the graphics performance is on it

This is a cool technical feat, but I am almost sure that id attempted this and realized that it just was not ever going to sound very good. The PC speaker sound effects are bad enough (which is to say "as good as they can be, but still

Not sure if you actually read this document before posting it, but it is just a general cautionary statement, not about any specific test (and surely not about prenatal ultrasounds which have been proven safe). All this says is effectively

I was in the space from the late 90's, acquired ~30 brands and was the largest private consolidator of shared hosting, and sold to a Fortune 500 in 2015. Sounds like you had a similar experience as mine. There's no way you can den

No, not at all the case. There has been continued consolidation of the shared hosting space, plus consumer interest in "a website" has declined sharply now that small businesses just feel that they need an instagram to get started

Shared hosting is dying, but not yet dead; FTP is dying with it - it's really the last big use case for FTP now that software distribution and academia have moved away from FTP. As shared hosting continues to decline in popularity, FTP

20 years ago (well, 25) it was actually more common than it is now - many computers in the late 90's to early 2000's came with video capture cards built in. The Sony VIAO for example, or some "multimedia" machines. The

I disagree - your AI model should be decoupled from your control logic; so if the model determines that you need to move the boom, your control logic takes that action - either via hydraulic retrofit, canbus control, or just faking it in a

This looks very interesting. I understand that hydraulic retrofit is compelling, but you may want to consider CANbus-based retrofits as well (similar to how CommaAI works, where it simply sends messages to the CANbus network to control stee
