It’s interesting that the commentator didn’t even consider the possibility that the lead engineer might report to architects and/or scientists.

I have no idea but I have a suspicion that Thinking Machines was a company where the most senior people had “scientist” in their title rather than “engineer.”

I did not intend to discourage the idea! I think it sounds very cool and potentially worthy of study. But I really do think you're underestimating the difference.

I expect macOS is cheaper to support and develop for (if for no other reason then because it's a well supported Unreal Engine target) and judged to be, at least potentially, more profitable. But I imagine the relationship with Apple ca

It seems rather irrational of a company to turn away paying customers, right? Except his view isn't at all unique. They judge that Linux and its user base isn't big enough to be worth much of their time, but it's not like the

A person is no more likely to suffer from "self-diagnosing" the implications of their blood sugar readings than they are from misunderstanding their weight or blood pressure measurements.

For an embedded application involving signage or a kiosk, 2GB is probably plenty, and if you're doing enough of them the money saved would be worth it. For a home user with one, or only a handful of, machines I don't think you&#x2

I'd advise that human to invest in some body armor, for a variety of reasons. But it sounds like we're not talking about the same thing.

Do you develop professionally on current idtech code? Or are you comparing present-day, easily available Unreal Engine code to what id most recently made available under the GPL, which is essentially twenty year old code?

by justin66 2y ago
Given the easy terms of availability of cutting edge Unreal code vs. whatever id is doing nowadays, he's doing okay.

Use the jslint license. It has all the legal force of the 3-clause BSD license, but it also offends an awful lot of humorless people in a way that is funny to watch.

UT2k4 deserves to live, but if we're being honest, there weren't a lot of people playing it during the last decade and a half. I wonder if being able to play it in a browser would actually improve that.

I had the same thought. They lovingly take Minutemen out of their silos and launch them after reassembly from Vandenburg AFB or someplace for a test. I’m pretty sure trident tests happen at sea.
