Oh lovely, you can switch to the "Gates Learjet" and go for a Manhattan Tour and buzz (and crash) into those tall towers like its 1989
Or like it's 9/11

I agree - even if they're legally allowed to just take his work, it would've been nice to let OP know.
No credit is owed, no thanks are due. This is an unavoidable effect of usuing the MIT license over something like GPL. Andrew Tanenbaum on choosing MIT for the MINIX project, which was used by Intel + the IC as a base for the Intel Management Engine (emphasis mine): "The only thing that would have been nice is that after the project had been finished and the chip deployed, that someone from Intel would have told me,…
Credit is certainly owed under MIT, a copyright notice must be included.
(I wonder where Intel shows this copyright notice; in principle, it should come with every processor or product based on the processor. Probably in the same place where IME itself lives…)

#73That's cool! Like playing classic Doom inside Doom 3. Is there a list of games that let you play older versions from within?

More likely this kind of “typed”: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_and_weak_typing Where “typed” here likely implies “strongly typed”.
Exactly, I mean more "strongly typed". The opposite is JavaScript, which is weakly typed. When speed matters and every bit is important, it is a bad idea to write an emulator in a weakly typed language. I have corrected the text.
C, although statically typed, is considered weakly typed as well.

Thanks for relaying that ought-to-be canonical example. It may not be owed/due, but common decency suggests you give a heads up. In Intel's case I'm guessing there was a contending motive in that they preferred not to draw attention to it.
> common decency Large companies don't operate according to human social norms like this. It's important to be reminded of this fact from time to time.
At some point, no matter how big the company is [1], there are humans redacting, validating and applying the policy.
[1] Ok, maybe Google have just bots for this also. ;)

'Typed' as in 'typed on a keyboard'?

I'm not sure if there's a list, but a notable example of this is Day of the Tentacle, the sequel to Maniac Mansion.
In the game there is a computer, which if you interact with it, allows you to play the entire original Maniac Mansion.

Celeste lets you play the classic PICO-8 version in a secret room.
