Man, demoscene has always been pointless. That's one of the beauties of the thing, you cannot sell that. I call it love.
The days I gave up with demoscene. When PC killed Atari ST and Amiga scene (sorry to put you after amiguys, but life was always easier for you ;) ), all the magic of fixed hardware without tons of Mhz and RAM, when we…
As far as I remember, when I wrote my email reader/writer in C, ncurses was not even a thing, so I made my own windows and dialogs in text mode with VT-something codes or something like that. That was not on Linux, but…
Yeah, "Triumph of the Nerds" was a wonderful adventure. Now, "Triumph of the Lamers" is taking over. RIP
The very best CAPTCHA, for now: "2 + 2 = ?" Any IA will fail the first try. Most human will fail too, but some will pass and they're the only ones I care about.
I'm anti-AI to write code (coz' I simply love it since +40 years, so why should I ask something to do it for me?), but the title is just click-bait anyway. The article itself even has some clues that contradict the…
Hackers don't make Quake III Arena by trusting C rules or compiler optimizations anyway.
I once ate a peanut too.

Brute force being the antithesis of hacking spirit, I too wish brute force would end up in Lamer News instead.
It didn't click, did it? You're a kind person, you know, but I'm not. I'm a misanthropic megalomaniac guy. > I think you’re letting your pride get the best of you. Writing software should not be about ego. It’s about…
Well, my way of thinking about it is basically that I did not spend my life shiting on over-engineered-bloated-Golberg-machine source code written by so-called programmers to finish my life asking agents to generate…
Reverse-engineering is fun.
It's not fundamentaly an anti-AI stance (though I think agentic stuff is the worst usage of LLMs for code, I won't even try to debate about it with people completely sold to it). The issue is what HN is all about now.…
The Internet I grew up on was not the web. It was mail, newsgroups, IRC… maybe the article talks about that, but I don’t care as this is nothing the web can kill in any way.
Well, we're talking about something that makes all other mail readers draw J for smileys since decades because M$ doesn't give a shit about even de-facto standards, after all...
Maybe God was so angry seeing His fellows embrassing LLMs. So He asked vaguely one of those lame things, for the first time: 0. "Make something cool out of this insane amount of energy." (temp: 10^42 Kelvin) 1. He slept…
I wonder what the hell is that damn thing I select sometimes on my Vulkan engine with --gpu-select=Intel :)

No wonder they did everything they could to hide RSS from the masses: it's such a shame that users control their own feeds rather than their obscure algorithms.
I know for sure that HN stands for Hacker News.
Sorry, but I did not find any "Aaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhhhh" to purchase. Could you give me more details?
Above all, we mustn't torment the sacrosanct biological neuron center too much (they already have a hard time accepting that they're monkeys, so give them a little dignity, damn it). “A man doesn't think. It's just…
That's exactly why I'm here today, after 40 years of passion, penniless, or with very little money, not rich. Disenchanted by the professional aspect of what was initially just a simple obsession with “how it works,”…
