The community hasn't really warmed up to The Dark Mod as I thought it would. I guess everyone's more comfortable with how the original games look and feel, and I can't say I don't understand it. Thief still plays great t

Nice! I can only hope the same will be done for Thief 1 and 2 (and SS2) someday. The Thief games still have a very active community that regularly produces high quality fan missions, and one of the original engine developers has started rel

It also fails to mention virtual youtubers, who are "virtual" youtube personalities with a 3D model as body and whose videos take place entirely inside 3D environments. Obviously they're being played by real actors with motio

It uses formal methods to verify that the generated machine code has the same behavior as the source program.

I think Evan is too protective of the language to let anybody else maintain it right now, the first step would be for him to realize that he should give it up just a bit.

Letting a program arbitrarily modify another program's working directory or its environment variables would be a nightmare for any program that accesses files from relative paths, I think it's pretty obvious why you wouldn't

I'm really not sure what you mean by "modularity". There's a lot of languages with much more readable and composable type declarations than C. For example in OCaml: let x : (int list ref, string) result option =

I doubt Bazel will take off for most open source projects due to being written in Java, but I do share the sentiment. I've been meaning to try and write a somewhat saner build system to replace the Auto* hell, at least for C and C++. I

I wouldn't call its ecosystem great, but if you like complex type hackery and don't need to do anything very complicated, Ur/Web can get you quite far. It's very hard to learn, especially if you're not that familiar

The most basic function of a director in a concert is to dictate the tempo. You can make do without a director in a small group of people by just looking at each other in tricky moments, but when the people involved become dozens or hundred

I always split my editor window vertically, make some space over the method I want to replace and make sure the old version is visible on the other window, and then I rewrite it while referencing the old one. I only copy and paste stuff ove

If I'm not mistaken putting DLLs in the same directory as the executable lets you do the same on Windows. Mods and cracks for videogames usually plant a fake DirectX dll in the game folder.

The selling point of lisp is macros, and macros alone. Different dialects will have different characteristics: Common Lisp is dynamically typed and usually makes heavy use of mutation, others like Lux are purely functional and statically ty

That's not necessarily true, lots of gamers are just casual gamers who will only buy the blockbusters, just as with movies, and will probably not go beyond checking the metacritic score before buying, or even worse they will preorder i

I've heard from a few cyclists about people they cycled with who got into pretty violent fist fights with some people, some even had to call an ambulance after that. My suggestion is to always apologize even if you're not in the w

This comment appears every single time there's a discussion on the unwieldiness of code as text, probably ever since online discussions were a thing. Shouldn't someone have come up with something radically better by now (instead o

I don't think he has explored Haskell's type system that deeply, since he mentioned Haskell as a complex language along with Java and C++. Haskell has a very simple core.

I use vimperator, so the only program I use a lot which still doesn't recognize ctrl+w is Hexchat. My friends have gotten used to see me part the channel and rejoin shortly after, cursing my fingers.

When I was a kid I once wrote L and R on my forearms with a marker both for remembering which was which and to learn their name in english. I think it worked, because I always think of the corresponding forearm when I have to tell left from

I've been diagnosed with dyacalculia and I always have to use a similar trick to the alligator mnemonics to figure out which is "greater than" and "less than". But I think it has more to do with telling left from ri

So this is essentially a creative implementation of the contracts model from Eiffel. I like Racket's implementation a lot, which is coupled with its module system.

I've been using Fixedsys Excelsior for months and I love it; it's pretty big compared to most bitmap fonts and it being bitmap keeps me from messing with fontconfig's hinting more than necessary. The only flaw is that it does
