And don't miss Fabian Sanglard's review of the code. He was featured on HN recently for the reviews of the engine behind Another World/Out of this World and how it was ported to di…

I'll have to check out some of the old issues, I thought it was more of an industry magazine and not covering algorithms or coding. Archive.org has most (all?) issues in a collecti…

I don't think that's been the case for a long, long time. Almost every new game on modern consoles and PCs will see one (or many) updates in its lifetime. Game cartridges, things w…

FPGA still has some advantages over ASIC development: - development speed of FPGA over the typical ASIC lifecycle is much shorter - the ability to field-program and correct a desig…

My first thought: I wonder if I can invoke this with ctypes from Python? I'll check this out, thanks!

The database is opened immutably, so my guess is you’d either make a copy and update or regenerate it from another source (a la Simon’s CSV to sqlite tool. You could have a symlink…

As someone with a budding interest in this, are you finding this stuff on the web? Any specific sites or books where you're finding these implementations?

Your hobbies make my hobbies look pathetic. Kudos :D

Misread this, I thought this was Neural Language Modeling in Scratch , the visual programming language.

Looking at the animated gifs in the OP, it does appear to "fade in" similar to a Polaroid print.

On the flip side, not knowing about that content means you might not increase your pledge to a level where you could access it.

https://rebrickable.com/ It seems to be mostly geared towards sets, so if you don't know the sets you have it may be more difficult (impossible?) to use.
