Note that this computer was out in 1991, when Windows 3.0 was 1 year old. In fact I had an Amstrad 2086 (a 8086 with VGA) that included windows 2.0 whereas pc1512 and1640 included gem plus. I think this interface was not meant to replace th

The paragraph you quoted simply means that the decompression library is able to decompress to a smaller size raw image, and says nothing about jpeg file format.

Good and bad are relative and subjective. Can you elaborate why those are bad and what better offerings there are and why ?

I'd much rather have a performance oriented blog post have at least a few performance data points (even if put into context): simple vs fast ... but by how much ?

My bad of course those are Lucasfilm. However, I was referring to late adventure point and clicks, unlike kq1 from 84: let's take lucasfilm games post 93, including grim fandango or full throttle, those do not seem to fit your descript

I remembered Sierra games (loom, leisure suit Larry, monkey island) with mostly animations and only a bit of text for dialogues ? (Edit: clarify)

You cannot remove an unused variable, you just dont refer to a stack place or register with it. Removing a variable would modify your source code. The compiler can only make you do it by pretending it refuses to understand it.

You mean I can put my old, blanked out by sun, notes in the fridge and they will reappear ? If that works you made my day, sir !

Ive thought a bit about this, and how is Option types (which I like and prefer to error checking) really different from the compiler emitting an error when you fail to explicitely check for nulls and stdlib returning nulls when you have one

Well, okayish if by "tech" you mean mobile-internet-client-side software tech (Maybe, I don't work in it anymore). Technology also applies for vastly broader fields (which I wont enumerate here).

You're mentioning the current, disconnected meaning, while the original author showed a possible origin of those expressions. I dont know if they're valid but they're certainly interesting and potentially right.

Offtopic, but thats the first time I remember seeing an emoji on HN. Is that recent ? I assumed it was frivolous and judged kind of bad taste ; is it? (Real question in general, not talking about this specific comment!)

First, maybe there are different reasons. Then, having clearly defined commercial icons, clearly defined and easily uninstallable (as in right click, remove) is clearly acceptable with me. Ubuntu needs to make money, be it with this or Goog
