SimCity on the web. (Description from Don Hopkins on Facebook)

❝ Micropolis (open source SimCity) in the web browser using WebAssembly and OpenGL finally works enough to share, and it should work for other people too, I hope.
Not much of a user interface to speak of yet, but I just got the simulation and tile renderer working, and hooked up enough UI to have fun!
The next interesting part will be implementing the plug-in system so you can make plug-in robots and zones in JavaScript, and monitor and visualize and control the simulation! ❞

Does anyone here have personal experience of successfully converting a CT Scan to a 3D printable file? Preferably on Linux.

All I'm finding is outdated tutorials pointing to discontinued services.

That whooshing noise you just heard is the sound of a villain reveal going right over the heads of millions of even die-hard fans.

The older I get, the more I relatable I find Arthur Dent

The Apple Newton WatchPad was a roaring success in the early 2000s, and dimensionally only a few short hops over.

I need help on connecting a 9pin dot matrix printer to Schneider CPC.
Goal is to print with WordStar running under CP/M.
I'm confused

I've read that the CPC has a 7 bit printer port. There are modifications for 8 bits but I don't know about the software side: does WordStar need 8 bits to print bold, italic etc.? Do the modifications work without any driver software?

(Boosts welcome)

Hardcore respect to Russell T Davies for making a big deal about the new Disney show being a new start and he throws in a Tom Baker villain from 1975

Software architecture hot tips:
- Good things are better than bad things, except when they're not
- Also nothing is good or bad
- It depends
- The answer to every question is "it depends", except for when it doesn't. It depends
- Name three things you like. You can't have them at the same time
- No.
- There are many definitions of software architecture, but none of them are correct
- There's no such thing as software architecture

@zhenech I've been doing this for what feels like at least three years, and I've been amazed at how well it works.

Bonus tip: You can choose the proton version, and sometimes the devel version works when proton stable doesn't.

I haven't touched windoze for gaming in years!

Have fun!
