Could you give me an example of this please? I'd love to see what you're referring to.


Here's one article about it: https://www.howtogeek.com/281849/dont-be-fooled-the-mac-app-.... It's still pretty bad.


Dwarf Fortress is single threaded, and likely to remain that way for the foreseeable future.


The simulation is single threaded. But a rendering thread that only needs to copy a kilobyte of data each frame? Trivial.

Also hopefully there's a pathfinding thread at some point.


It may be trivial to you, but it is abundantly clear by circumstantial evidence that ToadyOne is not a good programmer. This is beyond his means, otherwise it would have already been added.


There's no benefit to it. That's the much simpler reason it hasn't been done.

The things that would actually help to split out are also the things that would be difficult to split out.


This is hilarious, do you have a reference?


I do!

> p.s.: In the closet-sized "office" Bushnell, McGrath, and I shared for a time we did have some spider plants as part of a running silly joke. They did not actually scare RMS away OF COURSE and he usually had helpful criticism and advice of our efforts, from my point of view.

Ha!


What's wrong with Italy?


Nothing runs on time in Italy. Someone on this thread is going to say that is racism, but its backed up by a lot of data.


Nothing runs on time at Consorzio Torino Time (CTT), the guys quoted previously, also "The PTF in Italy been coordinated by the Consorzio Torino Time (CTT), with the partnership and support of SpT and T4Science in Switzerland." so i'm pretty sure as an Italian who enjoys to stab Caesar and switch sides during war, THE BLAME IS ON THE SWISS


Can you share that data with the rest of us?


A little rain today, despite that things are pretty good.


And also regular wealth. Have you seen the photos of it? It looks like a pre-assembled Radio Shack kit. Probably cost thousands of dollars in professionally machined parts.


Sad indeed. In my country, programming at all is taught to preschoolers as a distraction.


Yes, but Jobs' return brought with him everything from NeXT and he blew life back into a company that surely would have disappeared without that.


Some Amazon sellers carry them. There's also brands like Mountain House that are specifically geared towards campers and don't have the little kick-knacks with them, just the entrees.


There's a short film adaptation of this as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tScAyNaRdQ


They can just use ... butcher paper.


I'm pretty certain you can't recycle waxed butcher paper.
