Dance Dance Revolution. It was unique, healthy, a lot of fun, and popularized a new genre: rhythm games.

Assuming it works as advertised, I would use this one, in part because it's not a bloated Electron app like Heroic. (This one is written in Python, and presumably not so wasteful of system resources.)

There's also the classic problem of politicians believing they understand a technical or social field better than the entire world's experts in that field.

Hey OP, this post doesn't meet the requirements of rule 2 or 6. Can you please find a news source that does, and post that instead?

There's some discussion about finding freelance work over at Hacker News today:

Between this and Skyblivion (video), perhaps I'll get to play beautiful versions of the older games. Looking forward to it!

Yes, and I could see wind turbines charging batteries during the windiest hours, and the batteries powering the moisture collectors during foggy hours.

Let's also remember that high voltage doesn't necessarily mean high wattage. This prototype runs on a small battery.

The issue is bigger than just smartphones, and I would like to think the meaning of "papers" is about one's stored information rather than pressed wood pulp. (Let's remember how language was used in the 1700s.) But okay, I'll bold both.

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

+1 for bringing it up as serious discussion.

The last time I had to ask permission for something like this, the issue turned out to be simply that the IT staff wasn't trained in Linux and therefore couldn't support it. I was more than capable of administering my own Linux box and ensuring that it wouldn't become a risk to our company network, so we agreed that I would do that.

It was a win-win result: I had the tool I needed to be most productive, and IT had fewer machines to support.

I thought this was going to be clever reprogramming of the 6502 computer that lies inside the Commodore drive. Disappointingly, it's a just a parts transplant. The result isn't really a 1541 drive anymore.

Maybe The Final Voyage of Draengr Thar?

I bookmarked it a while back because Bryce Lynch, who is very critical of adventures, has some good things to say in his review:

He also had pretty high praise for Witches of Frostwyck, which could presumably be adapted for level 5. It looks like it would run longer than a single session, though.

It might also be worth browsing the categories on his blog's sidebar.

Yes, it's fine. The mini-DIN PS/2 keyboard interface is electrically identical to the 5-pin DIN AT keyboard interface, so your results will be the same as if the keyboard had its own PS/2 connector.

PS/2-to-USB keyboard adapters vary widely in their behavior, regardless of whether an AT adapter is in play. I suggest looking for models with reviews confirming that they support n-key rollover and BIOS setup screens.

A Soarer's Converter is another option. These are more advanced AT-to-USB keyboard adapters, supporting programmable features like macros and layers. They were designed for an electronics hobbyist to build, but sometimes turn up pre-built in various places online.

maybe don’t just assume all of us knows what ‘GPR’ is. For those maybe wondering, it stands for “General Purpose Registers”.

That is stated in lesson 1. It's in the first sentence that mentions "GPR" and in the heading directly above it.

(By the way, I'm not the author.)

Couldn't we implement a non-unixlike userland though

That's called systemd. :P

Mainly, there's a good chance Jacob will have progressed the x86_64 backend far enough that we can enable it by default for Debug mode on ELF targets.

That sounds a lot like self-hosted code generation. I wonder if this is a significant step toward bringing async back to Zig.

For the relevance, see the FAQ:

https://github.com/ziglang/zig/wiki/FAQ#what-is-the-status-of-async-in-zig

Note especially the last three bullet points.

John Crichton... are you still out there?

non-unixlike

Linux-based

Sorry, friend, but you'll have to pick one. Linux is Unix-like.
