These were in large part inspired by earlier work I did on the Apple II. We know that’s not the limit, though, because we got some improbably good results out of the IBM PC’s 1-bit speaker as well. My original plan for this week was to replicate some of the advanced PC speaker techniques on the ZX Spectrum. Unfortunately, that didn’t work…

It’s still my favorite thing in the world to help wiki editors grab control of their projects and make them awesome (and not covered with a dozen auto-playing video ads!) Unlike most of the other wikis we host (runescape.wiki, minecraft.wiki, gta.wiki…), both Overwatch and Fortnite are launching at subdomains of weirdgloop.org instead of on their own root domain, like (say) overwatch.wiki. There is an unusually good reason for this, and…

Here, we test if simple instructions to agents to use particular techniques or libraries improve implementation correctness, as a kind of test to see how effective agents are when guided by someone with no expertise in testing who's maybe heard that you should…

As a result, so is the HTML we write. For every line of the HTML specification itself that has changed since the language’s inception, there are many more bits of HTML that have seen what I’ll call ‘environmental’ changes. Adaptations to differing browsers, extensions, integrations, and systems which we find HTML existing in. This article doesn’t cover once-specced but now…
