Looks like 32-bit user mode (but not kernel mode) is not getting removed, so these games should still work.

QEMU [0] emulates many systems, including the 32-bit Intel architecture. For retro gaming specifically I can recommend PCem [1], which also emulates a wide range of sound and graphics cards, from IBM MDA to 3dfx Voodoo 2. [0] https:/&

FYI, if you're just looking for a Common Lisp implementation for Apple Silicon, there is SBCL (which is a fork of CMU Common Lisp): https://www.sbcl.org/

Windows NT 4.0 existed at the same time with the same UI and without the instability. Effortless MP3 playback was primarily made possible by hardware advances, not software ones.

It's kind of a cliche at this point, but Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs really blew my mind when I read it in high school. I didn't finish it "cover to cover" back then, but it was my first proper intr

Pretty sure Microsoft's marketing department actively pushed C# at least, there was no need for grassroots advocacy in this case.

There are many many more users of CL, I just listed some household names. If you don't hear about some technology every day, it doesn't mean it has to be "dead", there are plenty of important and "alive" techno

Arm, AMD, and Intel are using a Common Lisp application called ACL2 to formally verify their main products. Google Flights' core is written in Common Lisp. It's far from dead.

Speaking of early music workstations, I've heard that the inventor of FM synthesis John Chowning used Lisp machines, and his work evolved into this: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/clm/

It seems that DLSS/XeSS is the only feasible application of local neural nets to games right now, everything else is too compute-hungry.

I'm one of those Russian engineers that fled, and I'm very grateful to my multinational employer for helping me with the relocation. I wanted to leave Putin's dominion since my freshman year, but life kept getting in the way
