I mostly play and enjoy the sound of "classic" metal. 1980s Judas Priest. Metallica. Maiden. Etc.

What's a good amp/fx setup to reproduce this sound at modest volumes?

I have a friend with a Marshall stack, which sounds amazing but I have neither the budget or the space for something like this. I currently have a Fender amp with a Boss GT-1 effects pedal, which is quite good but no matter what I do I never quite get this to reproduce the tone I'm looking for.

Will a small Marshall combo amp like a MG30GFX work for me? Does it make sense to go for low-wattage tube amps over solid state? Thoughts?

The author pointed out they also could've just called openssl prime -generate -bits 1024 if they weren't trying to learn anything. Rebuilding something from scratch and sharing the experience is valuable.

TLDR: "I picked a systems programming language to write and iterate on a bunch of gameplay scripting. Why does Rust not meet the needs of a gameplay scripting language like <every link in the article which either refers to dedicated game-programming scripting languages, or Unity which is whole goddamn commercial game engine>. Hmm yes, the problem must lie with Rust, not with the choices I made in my project."

Just try to write a complete game with nothing but open source libraries in C++, or C#, or Java. Good luck with that. The author is switching to Unity for a very good reason. It turns out a commercial product made by 6000 people delivers value...

You use a systems programming language to write your engine. And then a scripting language to write your game. Everybody in gamedev knows this, I thought.

No, I won't give you my github.

"Accidentally"

I find it hard to believe an Interpol most-wanted billionaire cartel leader just happens to be released "accidentally".

Exactly. I have a Model 3. It’s a good car, all things considered. But I would not buy one now due to the damage Musk has done to the brand. And there are now so many good alternatives from less controversial companies.

As far as I know the 6502 clone in the NES has 3 general-purpose registers: X, Y and accumulator. Many of the instructions operate on them.

It's a good question though. I am just not aware of a mainstream CPU architecture without registers.

 

It's that time of the month again. Another rate hike!

Nice work on the internals. Very neat. And I agree with you, I quite like the one odd tuner. Gives it character.

Blocking promotions of critical military roles over an unrelated social issue. Really. Why are there so many examples of how today's Republicans would rather burn the country to the ground than concede anything to representatives for roughly the half of the population..

Yeah I'm no economist but "Japanification" has always seemed like a likely outcome for China. Every so-called emerging economy eventually finishes its rapid growth phase, and then they'll be faced with slower or no growth, a shrinking population, and competition with cheaper countries with lower living standards.

It doesn't truly seem like such a bad thing to me, I mean the Japanese seems to be doing alright, but in terms of economic development it's a big downer.
