I still uninstall it, even though I know it's improved a bit. I just can't get to the point of trusting it, or see the point for yet another layer of latency and bugs between programs generating audio and the sound…
Sierra was notorious for making games that had to be solved in just the right way. LSL1-3, for example, you would come to a dead end if you didn't pick up some item early on. How would you know to pick up that item? Or…
I played a bit of the Walking Dead. It was well done, but seemed more of a limited-action RPG than a puzzle/adventure game that LucasArts and Sierra were known for.
The term "Open Source (tm)" was invented to co-opt the free software movement... so that corporations could do exactly what corporations are doing. Your rant is 16 years late, and whatever delusions you may have of some…
I'm not exactly sure Racket existed when this project was created. Furthermore, Racket is non-standard. Which is really the issue with Scheme. Prior to Racket there were SLIB and SRFIs. Which are still non-standard, but…
Inspire is not quite the word I would use, I think. The reason so much was done on the 386 is because Intel finally dropped that god-awful segmented addressing in favor of a flat memory model. In addition, protected…
Thanks for the downvote, guy. $18k is still a shitton of money. I guess you don't get that.
I don't see the relevance. I, too, can easily find dead-end hardware that was expensive years ago that no one wants today. Most are just happy someone is taking that crap out of their hands. It's big, heavy, has strange…
Yeah, I don't know how it is in SF. But in LA, you're competing with multiple cash offers, usually quite a bit over asking price. First time home buyers are pretty much left to the sob story route (that is, writing a…
They are. And so is Boeing, Raytheon, EA, and Blizzard if you're near Irvine. LA is incredibly diverse, despite people harping on about Hollywood. You can work in this town and never even care "the industry" is here. It…
the "current climate" is one where security defects lead to highly visible public witch hunts and shaming and then the forking of code (see: OpenSSL). OpenSSL only just today got funding and an additional two…
