If someone wanted to be such an archeologist but instead for figuring out how some code or project worked (where perhaps the only remaining thing was the compiled code and some limited documentation), what sort of role/position would that be?

To my mind it just seems like something one would get assigned or throw into when looking into improving a process similar to the company in this story, but perhaps I am missing something.

"Epoch went from dominating the cartridge-based game market in Japan to a distant third practically overnight." is the third sentence.

Thanks! Wasn't aware of that link. :)

Meta question: Is this one of those "second chance" posts? Per iancmceachern's profile, this was posted a day ago (2024-04-07T05:12:35), and Algolia search says 2 days ago. Yet after a couple refreshes and an incognito browser, it's showing as being posted 1 hour ago.

Top level response by Animats says "50 minutes ago" but is timestamped 4/7 [1]. Although top level response by theboogieman says "5 minutes ago" and does seem to be [more] correct, with a timestamp of 4/8 17:12 UTC [2]. Really shakes me up on the accuracy of comments/metadata.

Turns out it wasn't deja vu after all and I really had seen this post before.

I wouldn't give my money to someone who thought "The default password is developer! because developers are the only ones who would be looking at the code." [1]

I'm curious at the 'hitbox' of a person since it'd have to be based off the phone. If someone were to put their phone down on a table, is the table suddenly a valid target?

At the beginning, it looked like the girl had a strap that went from her jacket to the phone [1], but I only caught it at the beginning of the video.

Pinboard is indeed wonderful. What I find lacking is a replacement for the old Delicious Firefox extension which included a way to use [Delicious] bookmarked custom searches in the browser.

They have other TV programs being streamed as well. Looks like 6 channels. (Ex: http://beta.tveeder.com/560/live )

This appears to be the same as what was shown at AGDQ 2014 (Awesome Games Done Quick): http://gamesdonequick.com/

Here's their live run with them explaining what is happening: http://www.twitch.tv/speeddemosarchivesda/b/492923053?t=10h2...

Jeri has a more detailed and technical video on her channel that goes more in-depth than the Kickstarter video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc2NQVQK69A

Ah, that explains why my password stopped working ;)

It's confusing at the very least. "CyanogenMod [domain] taken offline by developer" vs "CyanogenMod [project] taken offline by developer"
