At first I read SIMD bucks and I thought they must take optimizing code seriously.

I just found my old gopher page. Given that’s still up the user account must be there. Is the username listed on gopherspace the same as the login name?

I tried recover but it says no such user. It very well might be that I didn’t set up any password recovery ten years ago. So either there’s no user with that login anymore or it reports no such user because it’s not set up for recovery. Maybe I’ll try make a new user with same username.

I actually tried to finger the same usernames on sdfeu.org and it reports no such user so I guess it’s not there.

I tried finger as the other commenter suggested. I tried bunch of variations. Whole username, 8 chars truncated, and a shorter version which was in my notes. I also tried both sdf.org and freeshell.org. All of them gave me an empty output. I guess the fact that it didn’t output no such user means it must be either of them. Or all of them refer to the same user.

I also found an email sent from my sdf user. The address in format username@sdf.org had the whole username (more than 8 chars). Then there’s the shortest version of the name in my notes. That’s written as sdf.lonestar.org/1/users/username. No idea what that refers to. Seems I didn’t take very good notes. So which of these would more probably be the correct one?

I played it occasionally but, as you said, it wasn’t very interesting game for young children. I guess it was interesting only subconsciously (the vivid dreams I mentioned in the other comment). Maybe it would have been fun game if I were an adult at the time.

We didn’t really have arcade in our town but there were some coin-operated games around. I think it wasn’t very long period of time they had Polybius but I remember playing it occasionally during that time. I was quite young so I didn’t fully understand the gameplay and can’t really recall any elements of it anymore. Only thing I do remember is I used to have vivid dreams about it when I hadn’t played it for a while. That sort of made me interested to play it again every once in a while. Though I must have been terrible at that game so I don’t know why I even tried it that many times.

I didn’t really thought about it when they had changed the machine to different one. I would rather play the Street Fighter II or whatever they had put there instead because it was much easier game to understand. There have been occasional dreams I’ve had much later in my life about this game but other than that I don’t really think about it. Sometimes after having that kind of vivid dream I do think for a while that it would be nice to give it a try again but I don’t know if they have the game anywhere or if it’s possible to emulate via MAME.

Would you agree that man page with good example section of common use cases would better serve the purpose or do you think there has to be separate tool to show only a short summary of the manual?

I don’t understand why people think this is such a useful thing. Sure it has some good summaries but you can’t find all info there whereas man pages should have everything. It’s also good that tldr has examples but I think it’s something man should more often have too. So why would people rather use this than man?

For example I often forget the order of pattern and file in grep. I can look it up easily in both man and tldr. I also forget what was the short option for recursion. Was it -r, -R or either or something else entirely? I can easily do a search on my pager to find the option in man but there’s only long option available in tldr. That’s Too Long Don’t Want to Type.

It’s not very well colorized. I assume it’s not made by hand. Maybe some AI tool. It looks mostly good enough so only the errors should be fixed by hand.

I’m not sure how accurate the colors themselves are. Looks good to me but I would imagine selecting historically accurate colors for different objects, clothes et cetera would require quite a bit of research.

But does it mean the 15% is non-standard or just not implemented at all? If it’s not implemented then all of the implementation is 100% standard compliant and if everyone stopped relying on the 15% part then developing for Firefox should make it compatible for rest of the browsers.

Probably an average. I think the above average types usually have a vim keybinding configured to send current buffer to CIA via curl so they don’t have to use bloated web browser for doing everyday task.

The latter part sounds like PC speaker but the first part doesn’t. How does the first part work? Pulse width modulation to play samples or something like that?

Some bird has already sung the lick. Not sure if accidentally though.

I’d eventually fall through a hole and maybe see talking animals several hundred feet below.

Same here. I am interested in stuff people talk here but it gets boring when everything is about FOSS, privacy and news. The comment threads on Reddit felt endless but here they are much shorter which I would guess is better for having an actual discussion. So Lemmy is interesting but I don’t spend much time on it.

I didn’t like F Zero 99 because the controls felt different from original and it felt like there was either slight delay in steering or steering controls were too sensitive. Other than that it seemed like a good game and I would play it if the controls were nicer.
