But Doom 64 on the 64 had filtered textures! It's the one place where that was default!

Is there an implementation out there of hot reload that doesn't simply automate hitting the refresh key in the browser? Because if not then this vaunted 'hot-reload' feature is a joke. Some of the JS kiddos from my previous o

Texture packs I can agree with. Maybe I just like the filtered textures look. Ironically I like to play emulated 8/16bit games upscaled with no smoothing, when CRTs of the day actually did some smoothing

Funny, I grew up playing the original DOOM and Quake, and when the Nintendo 64 came out with texture filtering I wanted to get that look into those games more than anything in the world (at least in Quake it did eventually get official supp

According to GP's link, it looks like the word has been slang for fucking for some time (probably as a verb?) Wonder if that word is where 'fap' comes from (meaning 'to masturbate')

Why not just be your own signing authority for internal domains? You can propagate your toplevel public cert with most enterprise network provisioning tools.

But ultimately that means a clean digital pipeline and high quality D/A converters before it hits an actual speaker. The thing is... unless there are unnecessary conversions (making the signal less than bitperfect), there is no point f

The folks at Frys (particularly in hardware) were a useful resource (and good source of shop talk) all the way up until Fry's faded into irrelevance. They helped me sort through a good number of hardware-related issues

The amount of people both here and at DD who think that the task is "beneath them" is appallingly large. "Today you, tomorrow me" should be what everyone says to themselves when confronted with this sort of thing. Yet an

Idle Champions is fun but the numerical scaling on that game is whacky. It only takes like a month before you're doing 1 googol (1^100) damage and little dwarves or gnolls or rats or whatever drop a similar amount of gold. They say it&

.pyc files are the compiled bytecode for its corresponding .py file. It's scrambled, you would need a decompiler to inspect the source code and it would be very hard to read (compared to the original source). People typically ship .pyc

Indeed this is true from my experience... moments of insight into beauty (which make me want to take a picture) seem to occur much more when I'm away from home.

Impressive, but it lost me at "start in the market slump of 2008" Like that was the time in my life where I was literally the most broke. I had a neighbor try to practically give me his home if I could just take over the mortgage.
