Very cool! Being an IF collector, I acquired the source code to Restaurant at the End of the Universe years ago. It's generous to call it unfinished—it's barely a game. I wasn't sure whether or not I could publish it, but it&

MacBooks aren't a status symbol anymore. You only tell yourself this to feel superior instead of considering that there are actual reasons people prefer macOS and, yes, the ecosystem over Windows or Android. Many of these reasons are c

As long as types can be required to be explicit where ambiguous (e.g., TypeScript) in the file itself (via a magic comment or similar), I'm all for it. I am happy to declare types for external calls if I need to. I have said for awhile

Borland Turbo C++ 3.0 was my main Christmas present when I was 10 years old. A real upgrade from BASIC on my Atari 800. :-)

This is true, but those events are few and far between in most cases, and usually publicizing far in advance is a mistake when the work is not at some late stage of development. I think this was probably one of the better articles I've

As a vegetarian and former meat eater, I've had an "impossible taco" a couple of times. I don't want or crave meat, but they tasted very good. However, the texture totally weirded me out and both times I checked more tha

This kind of thing has been going on for a long time. The sociopaths running these projects have always cared solely about personal profit and power. The company that became ExxonMobil supplied fuel for the Luftwaffe, while Davis Oil and Te

You hear the same kind of thing about atheists. Consider that the few outspoken individuals you meet who are like this are rare and most people in that group are just quietly trying to live their lives. They're not seeking an argument

I'm vegetarian. I never bring it up, but when other people find out about it they will not shut the fuck up about it . They will tell me why they aren't vegetarian, they will ask me why I'm one, and they will tell me about a

For you or the culture. If someone said this about gambling or drinking or hopping on one foot everyone would clearly recognize there was a problem. Work as an unalloyed good is a dangerous puritanical belief, like most other puritanical be
