Just to be clear, this post kinda implied to me that HoMM 3 doesn't run on modern machines. It does, and there is a patch that provides higher resolutions and some other features. This is still cool though, but it's not required t

Heh, would not go over well. Now that we have JIRA, tickets are not just watched by my boss, but my bosses boss, my bosses bosses boss, and a few dedicated project managers of some kind.

I used to do this, and then we "switched to be more agile." (This just meant using JIRA and tracking sprint efficiency wrong). Companies do think "It’s your responsibility to be on top of whatever’s going on in your field&quo

Not really. It seems the problem for the author is that either they get string based output with a big printf, or no printf at all, and replacing printf is hard. In c replacing printf with a tiny limited implementation is easy and common.

My street lights went out a few years ago. Really a beautiful night, great to experience true darkness in a city. OTOH, walking around was a bit treacherous, sidewalks are not as flat as you think.
