Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
One commenter links a post on why fastDOOM, a fast DOOM port, is fast, in a thread on that topic. The comment only says 'It's complicated'. No comment judges the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
The ramblings of an oldskool computing fanatic (on a limited budget) I've been toying with computers since 1993. I developed my first website in 1999, worked for games retailer Special Reserve and provided technical support for some of London's top design agencies, marketing firms, and architects.
