I’m always curious how these projects come about and survive: why go to all of the effort to port for a dead-end product line? As technically sweet as it is? I imagine they would’ve found a decent market if they’d ported to Power Mac. (Also

I got my start coding by modding Minecraft - I added a quest system; one day I wanted to add dialogue trees and slowly turn it into a RPG. I hope future generations will always have this wonderful opportunity, this low barrier to entry oppo

History doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme: the initial (re)bootstrapping of OS X for Intel was done by one person, too. https://www.quora.com/Apple-company/How-does-Apple-keep-secr...

I agree, and I can see where it comes from (at least at the state level). The cycle is: bad trend happens that has deep root causes (let's say PE buying rural hospitals because of reduced Medicaid/Medicare reimbursements); legis

I'm surprised there's still a market for non-VR consumer 3D! I remember the post-Avatar rush of 3D-related products that never quite panned out.

The PS3 was used a few time in clusters – some NN work was done on it back in the day. My understanding (somewhat echoed in TFA) is that when programming Cell, you really needed to think about communication patterns to avoid quickly runni
