Rebecca Heineman, birth name William Heineman, was a talented 1990s game developer who passed away this week. He has a very long résumé, but is best known as the co-founder of Interplay and creator of The Bard's Tale franchise.
Heineman's passing caused a lot of masks to drop this week. Prominent influencers who normally position themselves as "anti-woke" are still pretending this man is a woman. It's both disappointing and revealing. I will post links below.
Heineman would have lived a longer life if he didn't mutilate his body with transgender surgeries and cross-sex hormones. Normalizing Heineman's poor life decisions only encourages the younger generation to make the same self-destructive mistakes that shortened Heineman's life. Pretending that this man is a woman actively causes more harm to society than good.
Here are the "anti-woke" influencers who care more about virtue signaling than they do stopping this transgender insanity from harming the younger generation. Frauds.
Davis is kind of interesting there's a progression of appreciation of his work:
What's the big deal he's just a random crazy guy ->
Wow he wrote his own OS and compiler ->
Actually None of it is particularly revolutionary, any CS grad student could do it with time ->
Yeah, but could the do it while being completely nuts and make it compliant with the COMMANDMENTS OF GOD the voices in their head are giving them? I don't think so?
And really, Temple OS is just so delightfully bizarre and charming. Is it technically impressive? Perhaps not as much as some people make it out to be. Is it unique? Most definitely.
Writing our own compiler was a required senior project when I got my degree, so all of the undergrads I went to school with could and did do it.
It takes a lot more effort than a class project to write your compiler in a text editor you also wrote saving to your own file system where any mistake can crash your OS that you wrote. Few have done it.
Also I saw some of the code for my classmates' assemblers and while they compiled the test files they made Pajeet code look like masterpieces.
