I consider Logo an undeservedly forgotten technology that showed the world a glimpse of what computerized education really is, and Seymour Papert is a misunderstood genius ahead of his time. The whole point was a very visual way of learning

Not Blizzard. A French game developer and publisher that has been defunct for many years now. But even then, I remember talking to colleagues from other studios and many used Alienbrain - primarily for art assets. We used SVN and later git&

> Virtually 100% of non-indie devs use Perforce. Not really. There are better products out there. When I worked at Triple-A studio, we used Alienbrain, which is specifically tailored for huge binary versioning with previews and stuff. We

Yes, it had that problem. But it is hardly unique, and it concerns the community more than the platform itself. Many communities with anonymous access end up toxic. It is nothing new and dates back to early BBSs and FidoNet, where a hostile

Step 1: Here emerges a platform where everyone can ask, answer, or discuss questions on software development. Step 2: The platform becomes the ultimate knowledge base with community-curated answers on virtually any question related to softw

So, the developers have finally found their Silver Bullet? I've seen so many of these already. It would be hilarious to see Brooks proving right once again.

If the author hasn't bothered to spend time writing the article, why should I spend my time reading it? Let agents do it for me!

Maybe it is, given that the classical AI definition is so broad, it can mean almost anything. But for me, there's a fundamental difference between something that "tries to be intelligent" and something that "tries to app

Often, but not always. I hate the term "AI" applied to games, since AI means so many things and usually implies something smart, "intelligent". But in reality, it is more like a "bot" or a "computer player

It was definitely something unorthodox - I remember being confused about how it actually worked. The first time I played, I thought "It is just like Quake". Then you start to notice that the levels are pretty limited - it is all n

In the storm of Doom-Quake mania of the mid 90s there was Chasm: The Rift by a small Ukrainian company Action Forms. And if memory serves me right, it was created in Turbo Pascal. It was late in development and came out in 1997 after Quake,

So they discovered Can-D from The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch? Now we just have to wait for a visitor from Proxima with more potent Chew-Z. The grim future is closer than we think...

But art is also going to be severely disrupted by AI, since AI companies have stolen all the art and music on the Internet and now are essentially remixing plagiarized content as new art and calling it progress.

However, to be fair, Desert Storm hasn't resulted in regime change. The Coalition bombed the shit out of the Iraqi army, but never committed to the ground operation deep inside Iraq. And Saddam's regime survived until the next war

Yes, Descent II OST is on a totally different level compared to the MIDI-only Descent I soundtrack. And by famous musicians to boot - like Type O Negative and Ogre of Skinny Puppy, who created my favorite "Glut" and "Ratzez&q

Awesome! Brings me back into my teenage years when I was rewatching the movie on VHS hundreds of times, especially the cyberspace surfing sequences - all covered by the epic soundtrack. Orbital still sounds fresh in my ears after all these

People should also stop using terminal emulators. It is pretty silly to base software around ancient printing terminals. Everyone knows for a fact that only tech illiterates use a console instead of a GUI. Since all great devs use a GUI. Ju

And I've seen Microsoft buying companies and killing their products despite active communities over and over again. A blatant breach of antitrust laws that Microsoft somehow managed to get away with.

So Micro$oft is a customer-oriented company now? Haven't heard such a good joke in a while. Microsoft, being a monopoly, hardly cares about customers, especially about closing some imaginary "gaps". What they care about is pr

Yet another klunge in the ivory tower of software bloat. It is like all existing software is gravitating towards a single point of singularity, with all existing platforms merging into an incomprehensible black hole, sucking the whole of hu

Why do we need to listen to justifications of crazy warmongering dictators? According to Hitler (as well as Putin, who really justified Hitler in that same interview) Poland made him start the war by refusing to give up Danzig. Any dictator
