ProgressQuest[1] was an actual "game" many years ago. It was kind of the progenitor of the current incremental/idle games. Looks like its basically the whole thing compiled to this ui. [1] http://progressquest.com&

No, 30-somethings had those too, and moutain dew and what-not. The differences is that people in their 30s might have already spent their 20s doing "death springs" and are sick of it.

This is great! I more or less majored in fractals from being really interested as a kid, so I love seeing people find it and break it down. As mentioned elsewhere, the Colors of Infinity doc is pretty good, if you've never gone beyond

There's an old program, FFHackster[0] that is made just for editing this game. I remember poking around through it and being really impressed at how tightly everything was packed together. Its worth taking a look at because it has a lo

Nope. I totally agree. I don't trust a single thing from facebook. I mean, good on them that they open source their tools, but most everything that comes out is just a huge pain in the ass with very little benefit to adopt, other than

This reminds me of an old question on reddit after their HPHP compiler was announced and someone said asked if it was going to take erlangs role. The answer is no, purpose built runtimes do not uproot established projects in another domain,

Haven't looked at the ruby source in ages, but it definitely had a yacc grammar in there in, I guess the 1.8 days. edit: of course there could be handwritten extensions, but I didn't dive that deep.

Most phone/tablet games are crap. Nintendo is a games company first, and most of their titles are exclusive to their consoles.

Bill Gates went to an affluent high school that was one of a handful to have a computer students could use, as well as a computer club, this was in the late 60s I believe.

The -i switch takes an optional string that creates a backup of the file with that extension. To use your example (with zsh blobbing): perl -p -i.bak -e 's/foo/bar/gi' **/*.txt Recursively replaces foo

cat FILE | perl -lne 'm|(REGEX)|&&print$1' Pays for itself pretty quickly. I default to pipes for the delimiter so you don't have to escape file paths.

Thank you! That clears it up. I wasn't getting that it had the whole run-time with it, and that it was so extensive.

so emscripten provides the sdl binding? I was assuming it'd cover libc, but does that mean it's part of the ecosystem or the compiler? I feel like I'm just asking dumb toolchain questions because I'm missing something fu

So, I understand that asm.js is a strict subset of JS that's made to run very efficiently. I understand emscripten can transpile C to asm.js, so C programs to run in a browser. I guess what I don't understand is how the higher-lev

That's an especially crappy comic, even for an xkcd. We don't all agree that beer tastes bad, but a lot of Holden Caulfield-ish high school kids (the main xkcd shirt buying demographic) would agree to that to demonstrate their int

baseball also has the most games per season (for American sports). Football ends up being arbitrary, and half the teams will play 15 games a year with a specialized roster. Hockey/Basketball have fewer players, but 80ish games. Basebal
