Yes, as I recall, he sold Zachtronics to investors sometime after TIS-100 so that he could focus on making the games and have someone else worry about the business.
I wouldn't say that no one cares, but obviously many fewer people care when the cost of "recompiling" a model from its open source training pipeline is so high. Also, if you only have the weights, you can still use it…
If CPU launches are being delayed until next year due to high memory prices, I wish I shared the CPU manufacturers' optimism the memory prices will be lower next year.
Would you like to have a version with a TrackPoint even if you have managed to live without it? With all these boutique laptop brands, I hope that one of them will eventually produce a pointing stick keyboard offer a…
Jon Peterson's "Playing at the World" is a fantastic book. Highly recommend!
The first thing I searched for was Deadlock, but was saddened when I realised they weren't talking about Deadlock: Planetary Conquest
This short story is set in the same universe as Tchaikovsky's excellent "Shroud" novel and in fact it's the same ship. I wonder where it sits in the chronology because I think the ending of Shroud surely permits an…
In some Asian cultures, "uncle" can be used to refer to any man older than yourself.
I worked for a company which adopted FogBugz. The multiplier it calculated to be applied to developer time estimates quickly diverge towards positive infinity. It's probably fair to share some of the blame for that…
The Bank of England used to offer personal bank accounts to their employees, but they phased it out after 2015. Not sure if these accounts were exactly the same as those used for central banking though.…
Do you think AMD's decision to buy Xilinx was any better or not?
That is true of all languages, but I think that Cantonese has a particularly high change velocity in terms of vocabulary and pronunciation compared to, say, English. I think this is because Cantonese speakers tend to…
I don't know, you make it sound like a pretty good analogy to me. A coal power plant take a form stored energy which is relatively difficult to use because it has to be burnt with oxygen producing harmful waste…

A DVI* signal is logically very similar to a VGA one, but with a different physical layer. The analogue colour signals are replaced with TMDS encoded digital ones, but the pixel clock and sync signal work more or less…
As far as old-school 3D effects go, I like this tutorial on ray casting: https://permadi.com/1996/05/ray-casting-tutorial-1/ It's great to see something similar on the effects used in driving games, which I always…
I grew up in the 90s and we played conkers. The main detail I remember was that soaking them in vinegar was supposed to make them stronger!
One time I was baking a cake from an online recipe, probably just after recipe sites discovered the importance of verbosity for SEO. I found myself struggling a bit because the recipe wasn't very clearly structured and…

I think "error oracle" is actually a great piece of terminology that really gets to the heart of the nature of the problem. Not as bombastic though!
Moron, Idiot, and Imbecile were coined as precise medical terms by Dr Henry H Goddard in the 1900-10s. Retard(ed) was devised as a euphemism to replace them in the 1960s. Once an unfashionable euphemism falls out of…
Also, just because someone is famous/important/etc doesn't mean they're always right. In fact, one of the dangerous things about being famous is the people stop being willing to disagree with you and that can lead to…
Ditto. Discord is fantastic platform to use and I'm a member of so many interesting communities across a range of subjects, but it does seem so very precarious to rely on the company to keep it going as it is.
Yes, that's correct. It was later adopted by the Linux Foundation with some industry support: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press/press-release/open-sou...
