inferno had the misfortune if being implemented during the time when all the gui frameworks were copying windows, so it's retro clunky in all the wrong ways. I strongly believe that's the main reason why it doesn't have build

well, it's funny because cmucl is a very sophisticated compiler. even a decade ago, back when things like Haskell or ocaml were considered to be "fringe" languages, beating cmucl was an achievement. with type annotations and

highly unlikely, at this point cmucl support is a one man project by Raymond Toy. in order for the apple silicon to be supported two things need to happen, cmucl needs to be extended to support 64-bit and it needs to be ported to arm, both

imho since gamasutra became "gamedeveloper", the quality of its content went way down, to the point of becoming a soulless mouthpiece for the industry on one hand and the now standard for a for-profit online publication an engagem

there's a number of visionaries for lack of better term who have been following similar paths in their respective schools. chuck moore after FORTH got standardized went back to drawing board and made colorForth, where he reduced the nu

I think your model is too futuristic, if some of the hackernews don't quite grok what you're talking about, imagine trying to communicate this complicated chain of dependencies in a format of a nyt article. most likely before such

he's saying that you can build large, grey area or outright illegal, databases to do realtime face recognition on any random people you meet, with the ability to pull up tidbits or very private information there and then.

hyperspec has a compact take on loop, which is my goto when I don't quite remember details of syntax, http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/m_loop... . it also has a benefit of being ascii

you can patch all the different places where system assumes it's running against cpt monitor to be size independent, rebuild you can also get yourself a real window manager, like fvwm has FvwmScroll module, that lets you wrap any overs

you're right, I fucked it up with 48ms logic. an input lag will go to a second 16ms cycle instead of the first one, rather than somehow magically creating a third one

yeah I even remember playing actionquake2 in maybe 98 or 99 shortly before cs became a thing. tbh I played it maybe twice, because at the time I was playing q2 competitively and actionquake2 seemed more like a novelty. also I might be wrong

if you have 0 input delay, worst case latency is still 32ms, because your input might come in when back frame is ready, but blit hasn't happened yet: render frame A, input comes in, blit frame A, render frame B, blit frame B. but your

you're skeptical but you had to have been there! cheap 90s hardware was jank, and characteristics you take for granted, because they are on standard issue hardware today, were only available on high end expensive machines. in Eastern E

for one it's not a cs 1.6 without crt monitor artifacts :D

I'm sure other people will correct you, but cs was a mod of half-life 1, where drivable vehicles were a massive janky hack.

source engine is different from goldsrc, and the "feel" of goldsrc goes back to q2 (and some idiosyncrasies from q1). so if you spent several years playing from beta days, or for some people transitioned into cs from even more yea

sound blaster at some point allowed you to emulate exaggerated "3d sound" polyphony. I distinctly remember a control panel, where you could drag around surround sound speakers and it would attempt to emulate them in headphones.

op implies that after half life 1 engine cs 1.6 it wasn't same game anymore, which is a common sentiment among people who were there. first, besides I think "urban terror" which was a mod for q2 engine, cs was the first &quot

no, bunny hop is an artifact of quake strafe code, which was retained in valve's goldsrc. it was fixed in Source since it's a completely new engine, but goldsrc counter-strike also had its own mitigations, which I assume were spec
