I hope only financial ruin for everyone involved in a crypto mining operation using fossil fuel. For fuck's sake, the world is burning.

From the about page:

"Q: Why is nothing from the Windows XP source code leak added?

A: Even though Microsoft has only taken down a few Windows modifications, they will most definitely take Windows XP Delta Edition down if there is a reference to the source code inside it. The Windows XP source code is illegal to download, fork, and redistribute, so nothing from it will ever be added."

Only $10 a month to rack up dozens of license violations? What a deal.

A Hitman-esque stealth hacking game with real VMs running real software would be cool to see.

Agreed that Chess is mostly about memorization, even at a high level - opening theory has only gotten deeper with the invention of computer analysis. If you're looking for a game that fits that criteria (deterministic but strategic), Go is probably the answer. The possibility space expands so rapidly due to the size of the board that you just can't have deep memorization beyond a few moves.

Retro forums that focus on specific systems (eg, C64 development, NES development, DOS development...) tend to be pretty good as they draw people who are interested in developing for more limited hardware and as such don't mind going deep on technical topics. For more up to date discourse I'm not too sure. Maybe TIGSource forums?

What exactly makes you comment as if woman gaining equality means men have lost something? Surely, in an even society, this is a good headline, unless you're pining for more patriarchal days.

How is this supposed to disrupt Nvidia? Those marketing stats from those slides are really poor. Only 90 fps (what an arbitrary target?) on Fortnite, GTA 5, Rocket League, and Valorant. All of which are older and very well optimised games so I'm not sure 90fps at 1080p is showing anything impressive...

And then in 2040, people will rediscover gradients and for a while they will be overused. It's just design trends.
