Looks like this article was originally posted 11 months ago. Anyway, regarding the Engineering quote: Patrick Stewart did not do the narration for Civ IV. That distinction most definitely falls to the late Leonard Nimoy. ( http://

Perhaps the cold reality is Wesnoth 2.0 will need to take radical steps away and use some rather modern engine (Unity, MonoGame, etc.) But keep in mind, right now we’re looking at a fairly successful, high production-value FOSS project. it

The project prides itself with being fully free and open source. Its goal is not turning profits or hiring developers. Wesnoth has participated in the Google Summer of Code in the past, and it’s possible artwork has been or could be commiss

This game isn't exactly simple. There's an entire meta language called WML (Wesnoth Markup Language), support for a powerful AI and Lua scripting. There's also very intricate multiplayer code that I don't think in any wa

Just because they’re looking for programmers doesn’t mean you can’t contribute! Many of the games scenarios need maintainers, and Wesnoth has a friendly and budding add-on community that is always looking for new content.

There has been some recent discussion with moving the art and music assets away from GPL into a CC or similar license. The developers understand GPL was never really designed for those media. (You’ll have to remember, Wesnoth started in 200

Helvetica Neue wasn’t designed specifically to be read at small sizes on digital screens. Apple’s new font is, as it has a noticeably larger x-height and tracks wider on narrower letters, meaning it’s much easier to read. Helvetica = more e

Ideally yes. I would counter with no, however: regardless of if it’s true or not, the click-bait is working wonderfully.

I’m in the exact opposite spot. For me it’s becoming a bad thing. • Lack of confidence • Lack of self-esteem • Lack of aggressiveness • Lack of fearlessness I’m much too humble and too honest. Although these are great personal qualities, an

I read an article a while back that said good computer simulations should expect the human to usually not choose the same throw repeatedly, and especially not choose the throw if the player lost the previous time. Also, humans tend to choos

Focusing on the non-technical details… case-sensitive filesystems just seems horrible for consumers! At my day job, I work with people who have barely used a computer before. I could see an 80-year old woman having three versions of a lette

Focus on the things that make you happy — and get people interested in making you happy! Maybe it’s being able to help a good person save $100 they don’t need to spend. Maybe it’s spending time with your co-workers and reminiscing old times

Yosemite uses a variation of a cross-dissolve transition when changing/showing content after a mouse click, whereas older versions do not. Give it a try and pay close attention to the window.

I’m wary of third-party repair facilities like this, especially for hardware. Having worked for a first-party repair shop, there are often times so many obvious fixes that require little to no effort that we would only know simply from the

Yeeup. Perhaps this ensures business in case they lose out on contracts with the existing computer-makers.

Yes, if by quietly you mean so quiet you’re not talking or using the phone at all 😉 Sending a text message or email, on the whole, uses less battery.

Part of the reason for the “weirdness” is the blatant fact they’re fixed-width, which is hugely important as so are kanji. That way you can intermix the two and the spacing won’t completely fall apart.
