rtontic··on The Case for the /usr Merge (2012)
Even funnier, now a lot of software pollutes your home directory with shared files and dotfiles, so that space is invaded too. I resort to creating a separate files directory, either in /files, my home directory or in /mnt/files, and store all my local files there.
rtontic··on Win32 Is the Only Stable ABI on Linux?
I mean, we are talking about videogames here.
rtontic··on Coding as a greybeard
Ageism in tech is strange to me, like, we think old scientists, doctors and writers as better than their younger counterparts, but for some reason it's different in programming.
rtontic··on Phrases in computing that might need retiring
You made this sound so appealing, I actually want to work on a project like that now.
rtontic··on Ask HN: Your admittedly useless side projects?
I actually haven't started this one yet, but I am planning to write a video game for the IBM 1401 computer, released in 1959. What complicates this project is the fact that the computer uses punch cards for input and a printer for output, making the job of designing a video game for those inputs/outputs a bit more difficult. I will probably start with implementing a blackjack game and then work my way from there to a bit more complex games.
rtontic··on Game Design Mimetics (Or, What Happened to Game Design?)
Yeah, I was agreeing with the linkedin post thinking "Oh yeah, this future sounds awful", and then realized that the author is actually presenting it as a good thing.
