>But if you're writing an iOS game, an HTML 5 web app, a utility that automates work so you can focus on the creative fun stuff, then you don't have to fall back on the existing, comfortable solutions that developers before you

To say that asm.js and WebGL are "narrow in focus" is like saying x86 is "narrow in focus". They're general-purpose primitives that can be used for a wide variety of purposes. UDK, Unity, Gamemaker, Construct all ex

And you think asm.js/WebGL will be any different? The more powerful the browser gets the more open to this kind of abuse it will be. Live with it.

What is true of any new system? I don't know what point you're trying to make.

>My complaint is that neither of these things is coming back in a relevant way. Where is this directed? It sounds like a criticism of Lisp, Forth, Self, etc, but please correct. The fact that the ignorant masses flocked to C and Unix doe

So.. stay with the shit model forever? Good idea! NaCl is part of an effort to fix all this bullshit, and it's at least sort of going in the right direction.

Too bad. The browser is becoming general purpose with asm.js, WebGL etc. You can't hold back progress.

What's so great about the "security model" of the browser? It's a patch work of horrible decisions.

Jesus, another gender-hustling article. Getting past that, it's not clear that in general the changes were beneficial. They increased the variety of facilities in the local park which, surprise surprise, increased its utilization. We h

Depending on your requirements the remote end can be responsible for ensuring that you receive and acknowledge the wake up. Once you hit your own timeout you might do any number of things, not necessarily repoll the other end.

Also a side question: does me commenting in this thread make it less likely to sink? Because this is the kind of submission that needs to be aborted in the womb.

Plebs are never assessed on merit because they don't have any. So you get better treatment for one pleb or another pleb because of what school they went to or their gender, but in the end it's all just interchangeable plebs anyway

It may be incorrect, but how is it "regressive"? This is a common argumentative tactic: to suggest that one side ( your side) is on the side of progress. Can you disprove it?

When will we get over this complex? Who cares if a bunch of easily-swayed people go here or go there? Reserve your little social engineering projects for hard barriers. The field is already overrun enough with Johnny-come-lately dilettantes

Yeesh. Why take his personal experience as some kind of denial of your existence? This article wasn't about you. And citing the membership of a subreddit against him is irrecoverably flawed, since niche Internet collectives aggressivel

The sole reason for Xen etc is that people were too lazy to do microkernels in the first place. It is exactly the same thing as we are seeing in the web browser with all the low level primitives like asm.js and WebGL: the good ideas inevita

You're being very selective. What is the hint that Demon Firesage is weak to fire? What is the hint that Gwyn is parryable - unlike every other boss in the game? etc

Do you bother trying to understand what was meant before replying? How, after reading my post, was your take away "everyone plays NG+" (something anyone who plays the game knows is false)? The point is that people replay the game

So what's your argument? You think it's kind of like Zelda? So what? Did you even read what I said? It's problematic in Dark Souls precisely because of how big and complex it is. Demon's Souls is cut out of the same clo

What's not true? I didn't say you were forced as some kind of hard requirement to use the wiki - just that the use of the wiki forces you out of the game and that it is clearly designed to be used in conjunction with a wiki. It sh

It reeks of autism. You know it's bad because it forces you out of the game to look at some web page. It's basically showing total contempt for the aesthetics and fantasy of the game in favor of the endless cataloging and retrieva

A Fire Uchigatna+6 or +7 makes Four Kings easy if you have 20 estus flasks and plenty of vitality. Since this weapon doesn't scale with stats you barely have to alter your build to use it. I'm not saying it's the only viable
