Good. For every real Elon Musk tweet, there'll be one fake reply right underneath with some thief trying to scam the unwary into sending Bitcoin somewhere. Glad to see Twitter cracking down on it.

Got rid of them years ago. Never looked back. Comments require moderating. If you're not prepared to do that, outsource it to somewhere like reddit or HN where others can do it for you, and do it better. But mostly I got rid of it beca

A UPS truck probably wouldn't need to turn on the interior heater -- those trucks usually have an open cab anyway, and the driver spends so much of their time outside the vehicle that it's probably not worth the effort.

Iodine doesn't naturally occur in salt, it's added artificially (and probably wasn't being added in the era we're talking about).

I wasn't suggesting a way to write your own command buffers, but instead a way to write your own code that reads those command buffers on the GPU side. (running on the GPUs command processor)

If you tried to do it directly, you'd a) find it very hard as it's largely undocumented, and b) it'd probably break when the vendors decide to change it without warning on their new GPUs. As for applications, well I dunno. On

Weird that they chose to make it harder for themselves and do it in 16-bit code.

I don't think there was any mipmapping in Wolf3D. That wasn't introduced until Quake.

If you're referring to Borland's BGI interface, it was god-awful. Had it become a standardized library, it would have set graphics programming back decades. One of the reasons C++ has done so well is that it sticks to its area of
