I am hesitant to weigh in on discussions about 30+ year old details. I understand enough about memory in general, and mine in particular, to not have great confidence about it. I generally trust Romeroβs memory more than mine β I was always a bit jealous of that capability.
In broad terms, multiplayer gaming was right up there with 3D gaming in my grand visions of what I wanted to accomplish. The early FPS games were very much βfirst person Gauntletβ, and Gauntlet had multiplayer.
I do clearly remember the first time I got two computers running Doom taking to each other. Moving around on one computer and seeing the character move on the other screen was sublime. And then, of course, I shot the other character. Every shared virtual environment inhabited by young men inevitably hosts deathmatch.
I suspect the confusion here may be around the fraction of people that originally bought Doom because of multiplayer. It was almost certainly well under 10%. Maybe under 1%. It wrecked some college networks, but most people didnβt have Ethernet cards or null modem cables. We probably did have some conversations correctly predicting that. Deathmatch was awesome, but most of our players never got to experience it.
Even four games later for Quake 3 Arena, being βdeathmatch focusedβ was a huge internal battle, and not at all obviously viable.
John. First, 8 months before release is before I joined the company. So I have no knowledge of what you did then.
second, AFTER I joined we had a discussion in which I talked about my experience with Command HQ and YOU YOURSELF agreed that Deathmatch wouldnβt be that big a deal. Do you not remember?
Third yes we all wanted Deathmatch anyway. And Iβm glad my predictions were wrong.
Perhaps check your own memory before gaslighting mine.
Hope youβre well.
The military government did Nigerianize a lot of Yoruba stuff
I don't hate this country enough
Did u know?
The Nigerian House of Saudi Arabia belonged to Western region of Awolowo & was built with revenue from Cocoa & our fathers' taxes. It was formally 'WESTERN REGION HOUSE' just like the one in London too.
The unitary system empowered the Military to take over the House & 'Nigerianize' it. Its a verifiable fact that it is Yoruba property.
PLZ, TELL YOUR CHILDREN!

The Ogboni proceeds Nigeria
In 1914, he founded the Ogboni society: Reverend T. A. J. Ogunbiyi, O.B.E
Iβve postponed this post too many a times cos I didnβt have some details I needed.
I now have those details.
I decided to find out more and what I found is one of the most interesting stories in Lagos history.
His name is Reverend and Honourable T. A. J. Ogunbiyi, O.B.E.
The photo you are seeing was taken when he was already over 80 years old.
The caption says he still took a very active part in the religious and political life of Lagos.
He was born in Lagos in 1866, Thomas Adesina Jacobson Ogunbiyi.
He became a teacher and a priest in the Anglican Church.
In 1890 he was posted to Ondo as the first official teacher there, and he single handedly revived formal education at St. Stephen's Anglican Primary School.
By 1921 he had risen to become Archdeacon of Lagos. That alone made him one of the most powerful church men in Nigeria at the time.
3. In 18th December 1914, he did something that shocked both the British and the church.
He founded the Reformed Ogboni Fraternity.
He originally called it Ogboni Onigbagbo, which means The Ogboni Fraternity of the Christians.
Think about that. A top Anglican Archdeacon, founding an Ogboni society. For him, it was not about returning to idol worship.
It was about saying, a Christian Yoruba man does not have to abandon his culture to be a good Christian.
Educated Lagos men were caught between a colonial church that rejected their blackness and a traditional society they were drifting away from. He wanted to bridge that gap.
That decision still causes debate till today.
Because of his influence, the British made him a member of the Legislative Council of Nigeria in 1936. He was among that small group of African elites who sat at the table with the colonial government and spoke for Lagos.
He travelled wide. He visited Jerusalem. And in 1947 he served as a Nigerian member of the Colonial Conference in London. During that trip he visited Buckingham Palace and was received by His Majesty The King.
The British gave him the OBE, the Order of the British Empire, for his service. And in Lagos he was known for one thing above all: kindness and generosity.
So this is not just an old man in traditional cloth.
This is a priest, a teacher, a politician, a cultural reformer, and a philanthropist. All in one life.
A man who tried to prove that you can be a devout Christian, a proud Yoruba man, and a Nigerian leader at the same time.
That is why they still call him the Reverend and Honourable, even in old age.

Hey folks! I want human and AI engineers to find out about BLAKE3-Servil, both because it can help protect users and because the engineering techniques used to produce it could be useful. Will you please submit to github.com/johnservil/BLAKE3β¦ like lobsters and hackernews? Thank you!

We want to see a lot more activity on Ethereum. I think we can make it much faster and easier to use while strengthening its decentralisation and security.
Excited to share Silver, our new consensus client. Itβs in its first alpha, and weβve pushed hard on performance to make as much room as possible for changes like shorter slots and PQ.
We want to use Silver to contribute much more directly to Ethereumβs development and help get more of its roadmap shipped.

Joining forces with @tradexyz
Welcome to our community.
trade[XYZ] and ICE, owner of the New York Stock Exchange, are joining forces to bring 24/7 perpetual futures on Hyperliquid to the United States.
In just over a year, our markets on Hyperliquid have surpassed $650 billion in volume. They provide continuous price discovery for stocks, indices, and commodities, and have become trusted reference points for retail and institutions alike when traditional markets are closed. Much of the world trades them. Until now, Americans could only watch.
We intend to change that. Subject to CFTC approval, trade[XYZ] and ICE plan to establish a new, dedicated U.S. market, with novel exchange and clearing infrastructure built on Hyperliquid. Planned contracts span equities, indices, commodities, FX, and crypto, with access through participating brokers and platforms. Weβll share more on products, eligibility, and timing as approvals progress.
ICE brings more than 25 years of experience operating regulated markets, clearing, and managing risk. trade[XYZ] brings the product development, market design, and technology behind the most liquid and robust markets on Hyperliquid.
Innovation and the protections of U.S. regulation shouldnβt be a trade-off. Together, we plan to prove it.
ICE is making a strategic investment in trade[XYZ] and joins us in building towards the future of Hyperliquid. A small group of market luminaries is joining as well, beginning with Stan Druckenmiller. For more than four decades, few investors have anticipated the great turns in markets as often as Stan. Weβre proud to have him with us for the next one.
Weβre building the U.S. market in parallel with our existing HIP-3 markets, which weβll continue to expand and innovate on. We expect both to flourish. They each have a long road map ahead, from new asset classes to new ways to trade them.
To the Hyperliquid community, whether you were here before us or came because of us, thank you. You took a chance on new markets and you made them matter. Youβll forever be a part of this story.
Anything. Anytime. On ICE[XYZ].

I am excited to be an investor in trade(xyz) as they partner with ICE to bring 24/7 perpetual futures on Hyperliquid to the United States. As a market participant, I am looking forward to to using their innovative product to enhance my investment process.

my boi @0xahzam and I wrote up the stuff i discussed before regarding the borrow lend interest rate curves.
lots of details in here on the full set of curves that not only result in supplier income monotonicity, but also on how to apply additional constraints on elasticity
another key realization i had is if you a bad curve, not only can you disincentivize a depositor from depositing more during a time when you need to maximally incentivize deposits, you also incentivize EXISTING depositors to withdraw because they will make more money in total by doing so.

Libghostty progress in the past 6 months. It's amazing that NOTHING IN THIS LIST was true 6 months ago, and now its ALL VERY REAL. I remember bringing up the idea of libghostty 4 years ago and most people saying "but why." I did it anyways. And here we are!
Text reproduced in case its easier to read this way:
As a reminder, libghostty is the highly portable, embeddable library that provides core terminal emulation, render state, and more. I always felt that a free, high qualty, lightweight, reusable terminal emulation core would benefit the developer world more than any single GUI application. And that is playing out!
It is and always was my true purpose with the Ghostty project (I said this in my first ever talk about Ghostty!). I've jokingly said many times that Ghostty GUI is just a glorified tech demo for libghostty. That's not fair though, because GUI is great and there are really talented people working on it.
Since I started the project, Ghostty has always gotten people saying "I don't understand why you'd start a terminal emulator today." Well, the answer is libghostty. It's truly unique and its enabling something special (imo!).
Highlights of libghostty since 6 months ago (none of the below was true 6 months ago):
- Libghostty has nearly 100% coverage of all of Ghostty's core (and you can compile with flags to remove any of these features for size/safety): libghostty.tip.ghostty.org/
- Libghostty now builds and is tested (in CI) for: Apple (macOS, iOS, visionOS), Windows (MSVC and GNU), Linux, FreeBSD, Android, WebAssembly, and freestanding (i.e. direct on hardware with no OS).
- Libghostty has bindings in pretty much every popular programming language: C, Zig, Go, Swift, Python, Rust, .NET, etc.
- Libghostty's memory requirements have dramatically shrunk to enable the portability above. There's still work to do but a single empty terminal now takes 90% less memory. And at scale I've proven 10,000 active (input/output happening) terminals on a Linux server with 4 cores and 8 GB of RAM.
- Libghostty powers all JetBrains IDE terminals, over 12.5 million active users. blog.jetbrains.com/platform/β¦...
- Libghostty is the most popular core behind the wave of venture-backed "agentic" terminals and editors, such as Herdr, cmux, and many others.
- Libghostty is being discussed and has been verbally accepted to replace the terminal core in Neovim: github.com/neovim/neovim/pul⦠(work still to be done)
- Libghostty powers a really popular and powerful terminal emulator for emacs (Ghostel): github.com/dakra/ghostel
- Libghostty's speed is used by Antithesis to fuzz popular terminal programs and has directly led to hundreds of bug fixes sent upstream to programs such as tmux, btop, shells, and other terminal emulators. :)
- And so much more: github.com/Uzaaft/awesome-liβ¦
Libghostty is really successfully turning into the tide that raises all boats. As it becomes more popular, Ghostty itself gets more performant and stable, and so does everyone else. It is also a vehicle for delivering modern terminal emulation to the widest source possible.
I plan on tagging libghostty 1.0 in the next few months and declaring ABI stability at that point!

A while ago I posted a thought on how annoying memories are. I've spent weeks turning it into an essay.
We're kind to those we remember well and cold to those we remember badly. But memory is rebuilt every time we recall it. So what are we reacting to?
