-Bloat is a very wide term that in the context of [software](software.md) and [technology](tech.md) means overcomplication, unnecessary complexity and/or extreme growth in terms of source code size, overall complexity, number of [dependencies](dependency.md), [redundancy](redundancy.md), unnecessary and/or useless features (e.g. [feature creep](feature_creep.md)) and resource usage, all of which lead to inefficient, badly designed technology with [bugs](bug.md) (crashes, unusable features, memory leaks, [security](security.md) vulnerabilities, ...), as well as great [obscurity](obscurity.md), ugliness, **loss of [freedom](free_software.md)** and waste of human effort. In simpler words: bloat is burdening [bullshit](bullshit.md) so to speak. Bloat is extremely bad and one of the greatest technological issues of today. Participating in creation of bloat is obnoxious engineering at its worst and, yet, it stains not just 100% of mainstream programs, but also the absolute majority of non-mainstream ones. Bloat is what has completely taken over all technology nowadays, it has now reached galactic proportions mostly due to [capitalism](capitalism.md) induced commercialization, [consumerism](consumerism.md), rushed "[just works](just_werks.md)" products, creating demand for newer hardware and so on, also allowing incompetent people ("let's push more women/minorities into programming") trying to take on jobs they are in no way qualified to do.

doom.md

@@ -25,6 +25,7 @@ Some **[interesting](interesting.md) things** about Doom:
 - Someone created a Doom system monitor for [Unix](unix.md) systems called [psDooM](psdoom.md) where the monsters in game are the operating system [processes](process.md) and killing the monsters kills the processes.
 - In 2024 some researchers made an experimental completely [neural network](neural_net.md) [AI](ai.md) game engine (called GameNGen) and implemented Doom with it -- basically they just made the network play Doom for a long time and so trained it to estimate the next frame from current input and a few previous frames. It can be played at 20+ FPS and looks a lot like Doom but it's also "weird", glitching, and having little persistence (it only remembers a few seconds back). Still pretty impressive.
 - The Crispy Doom engine adds `GOOBERS` cheat code which makes all floors and ceilings the same height, effectively making the game a flat [wolf3d](wolf3d.md)-style game.
+- By simple modification of the engine (making the [pseudorandomness](pseudorandom.md) generator always return the same value, e.g. [zero](zero.md)) it's possible to essentially turn off all randomness and the game then becomes quite weird. For example the "melting" screen effect turn to just a screen swipe, strobe light effects disappear, weapon fire loses any spread and all monsters always make the same death sound.
 - Someone (kgsws) has been [hacking](hacking.md) the ORIGINAL Doom engine in an impressive way WITHOUT modifying the source code or the binary, rather using [arbitrary code execution](arbitrary_code_execution.md) bug; he added very advanced features known from newer source ports, for example an improved 3D rendering algorithms allowing geometry above geometry etc. (see e.g. https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=RdbRPNPUWlU). It's called the Ace engine.
 - Doom sprites were made from photos of physical things: weapons are modified photos of toys, enemies were made from clay and then photographed from multiple angles (actually a great alternative to [3D modeling](3d_model.md) that's less dependent on computers and produces more realistic results).
 - The strongest weapon in the game is name BFG9000, which stands for "big fucking gun".

 # Frameless Rendering
 
-Frameless rendering is a technique of [rendering](rendering.md) animation by continuously updating an image on the screen by updating single "randomly" selected pixels rather than by showing a quick sequence of discrete frames. This is an alternative to the mainstream [double buffered](double_buffering.md) frame-based rendering traditionally used nowadays.
+Frameless rendering is a technique of [rendering](rendering.md) animation by continuously updating an image on the screen by updating single ([pseudo](pseudorandomness.md))[randomly](randomness.md) selected [pixels](pixels.md) rather than by drawing a quick succession of whole discrete frames. This is an alternative to the [mainstream](mainstream.md), typically [double buffered](double_buffering.md) frame-based rendering traditionally used nowadays.
 
-Typically this is done with [image order](image_order.md) rendering methods, i.e. methods that can immediately and independently compute the final color of any pixel on the screen -- for example with [raytracing](raytracing.md).
+This approach is typically compatible with [image order](image_order.md) rendering methods, i.e. ones that can immediately and independently compute the final [color](color.md) of any pixel on the screen -- for example [raytracing](raytracing.md). It won't work with object order techniques such as the commonly used 3D rasterization.
 
-The main advantage of frameless rendering is of course saving a huge amount of memory usually needed for double buffering, and usually also increased performance (fewer pixels are processed per second). The animation may also seem more smooth and responsive -- reaction to input is seen faster. Another advantage, and possibly a disadvantage as well, is a **[motion blur](motion_blur.md)** effect that arises as a side effect of updating by individual pixels spread over the screen: some pixels show the scene at a newer time than others, so the previous images kind of blend with the newer ones. This may add realism and also prevent temporal [aliasing](aliasing.md), but blur may sometimes be undesirable, and also the kind of blur we get is "pixelated" and noisy.

The animation may also seem more smooth and responsive -- reaction to input is seen faster. Another advantage, and possibly a disadvantage as well, is the kind of **"[motion blur](motion_blur.md)"** created as a side effect of not updating the whole screen at once. Changes appear gradually and are spread over the screen and through time: some pixels show the scene at a newer time than others, so the previous images kind of blend with the newer ones. This may add realism and also prevent temporal [aliasing](aliasing.md), but blur may sometimes be undesirable, and also the kind of blur we get is "pixelated" and [noisy](noise.md).
 
-Selecting the pixels to update can be done in many ways, usually with some [pseudorandom](pseudorandom.md) selection ([jittered sampling](jittered_sampling.md), [Halton sequence](halton_sequence.md), Poisson Disk sampling, ...), but regular patterns may also be used. There have been papers that implemented adaptive frameless rendering that detected where it is best to update pixels to achieve low noise.

On April 5th 2013 a "disabled" twitch streamer ZilianOP who was supposedly paralyzed and couldn't walk forgot for a while during live stream that he was paralyzed, he stood up from the wheelchair and went for something, revealing he was in fact just faking the disability so as to be considered an American [hero](hero_culture.md) and get more of those viewers seeking inspirational motivators or something :D I'M DISABLED BUT STILL PLAY VIDEO GAMES, WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE!

The guy leveled up a high level character, entered a guild, gained their trust and then, in a raid that was carefully planned and discussed for hours so that no one would die, he deliberately fucked up so that basically everyone died :D He practically destroyed years worth of "work" of many children that day, they all cried like little babies.

Love sometimes quickly changes to hate and vice versa.

 **[Forth](forth.md)** is perhaps the best example of software minimalism and demonstrates that clever, strictly minimalist design can be absolutely superior to the best efforts of maximalists. Languages such as Scheme [Lisp](lisp.md) show that minimalism can also be applied on high level of [abstraction](abstraction.md).
 
-Minimalism as a general concept is also immensely important in [art](art.md), [religion](religion.md) and other parts of [culture](culture.md) and whole society, for example in fine art, architecture and design we find great use of it, and basically every major religion values frugality and letting go of material desire in order to distill the truly important part of one's existence, be it [Christianity](christianity.md), [Islan](islam.md) or [Buddhism](buddhism.md). Therefore there also exists the generalized concept of **life minimalism** which applies said wisdom and philosophy to all areas of [life](life.md) and which numerous technological minimalists quite naturally start to follow along the way -- life minimalism is about letting go of objects, thoughts and desires that aren't necessarily needed because such things enslave us and mostly just make us more miserable; from time to time you should meditate a little bit about what it is that you really want and need and only keep that. Indeed this is nothing new under the Sun, this wisdom has been present for as long as humans have existed, most religions and philosophers saw a great value in [asceticism](asceticism.md), frugality and even poverty, as owning little leads to [freedom](freedom.md). For instance owning a [car](car.md) is kind of a slavery, you have to clean it, protect it, repair it, [maintain](maintenance.md) it, pay for parking space, pay for gas, pay for insurance -- this is not a small commitment and you sacrifice a significant part of your life and [head space](head_space.md) to it (especially considering additional commitments of similar magnitude towards your house, garden, clothes, electronics, furniture, pets, bank accounts, social networks and so forth), a minimalist will rather choose to get a simple [suckless](suckless.md) bicycle, travel by public transport or simply walk. Life minimalism is also much healthier both for the individual and for whole society. A man who learns to live with very little starts to find much more enjoyment in mundane things thereafter, a simple pleasure such as an extra meal once a week suddenly feels like it's Christmas, unlike to someone who overeats daily and can hardly take any extra pleasure in food at all. It is also proven (despite you disagreeing with it) that people living in scarcity are friendlier to each other, i.e. a community of people living with little are more [socialist](socialism.md), sharing, loving and caring, without crime and hostility, unlike communities of overstimulated fat depressed consumers addicted to endless increase of pleasure, demanding more and more from the day, eventually ending up only with [competition](competition.md) and hostility on their mind.

 Minimalism is a sign of high [IQ](iq.md) and better developed, [more cultivated](unretard.md) mind, it is something that requires an intellect strong enough to overcome the human instinct for hoarding to which the unintelligent is a slave -- an instinct that was important in times of scarce resources but one that's become a harmful curse in times when certain resources became so abundant that they can be consumed without end. It is like with overeating: the intelligent man is able to restrain from unhealthy overeating to which he is pushed by his instinct.

+# Quake
+
+Quake, released in [1996](90s.md) (originally for [DOS](dos.md) and [Winshit](windows.md)), is one of the best and most influential first man video [games](game.md) ever produced, released as the next big game by the creators of [Doom](doom.md) (Id Software), notable not only for once again pushing [3D graphics](3d_rendering.md) yet to another level, but equally so for introducing gameplay, mechanics and even "accidental features" ([bugs](bug.md)) that practically spawned a new genre. The original game has since been spawning sequels: Quake II (1997), [Quake III](quake3.md) Arena (1999, purely multiplayer), Quake IV (2005), Quake Live (2014, basically Quake III HD) and Quake Champions (2022, [shit](shit.md) that practically killed the series). This article will mostly focus on the original game as it's most notable and very technologically [interesting](interesting.md).
+
+Of course the game is [proprietary](proprietary.md), but the engine was later released as [free software](free_software.md) under [GPL](gpl.md), which spawned a plethora of source ports and even completely libre games such as [Xonotic](xonotic.md). This is one reason for why there are still big fan communities around Quake to this day, mainly centered around competitive multiplayer and [speedrunning](speedrun.md).
+
+Upon its release Quake was a hit -- maybe not as huge as [Doom](doom.md), but that's perhaps only because Doom was the first, struck like lightning and had little competition. Unlike Doom, Quake also wasn't universally revolutionary, its single player, enemies and [music](music.md) weren't as memorable, but the more innovation it brought in the area of graphics and competitive multiplayer where fast, skillful movement was as important as accurate aim. While Doom utilized a "[primitive/pseudo 3D](primitive_3d.md)" graphics with 2D enemy [sprites](sprite.md) and limitations imposed on level geometry, Quake engine implemented what we now call a "full/true 3D", i.e. it allowed unrestrained camera rotation and levels featuring all kinds of shapes, including sloped floor and ceilings, rooms above other rooms etc. Still by historical significance this is nowadays overshadowed by an incredibly addictive player movement mechanisms that Quake invented (partially through [bugs](bug.md) that turned out to add to the gameplay), a formula that's still being replicated today. In Quake movement is [art](art.md) and science in itself and this went as far as to spawning whole communities that essentially modded the game to a racing game without any shooting, focusing purely on movement (see the *defrag* mods). Most notable are such techniques as *bunny hopping* (jumping during movement, increasing speed), *strafe jumping* (turning diagonally when bunny hopping, adding velocity, which actually wasn't intended by developers), *rocket jumping* (shooting rockets under own feet to jump higher), *circle jumping*, *air control*, landing on slopes to gain speed, and there are many more.
+
+## Code And Technical Details
+
+In general the game is no longer as nice technologically as Doom was, creeping of mainstream [capitalist](capitalism.md) [bullshit](bullshit.md) already started to show here.
+
+The engine, also known as *Id Tech 2*, is written in [C89](c.md). The original source code release has just short of 100 [KLOC](loc.md). That's no longer really [suckless](suckless.md). The code itself looks alright, has consistent formatting and [comments](comment.md).
+
+Quake engine features one highly embarrassing feature: a kind of [scripting](script.md) language called [QuakeC](quakec.md) (see also [HolyC](holyc.md)). This language compiled to [bytecode](bytecode.md) and allowed to mod the game without recompiling the engine (a feature that Doom engine lacked), which sounds cool and all, but it's [shit](shit.md): it's a new language, new compiler and huge [bloat](bloat.md).
+
+Sadly the game also uses [float](float.md), another thumbs down.
+
+The engine is also **fucking [nondeterministic](determinism.md)**, mainly because its physics is FPS dependent (huge brain fart), but even if that was fixed it might not suffice e.g. because of the use of floating point (as C specification leaves room for floating point nondeterminism).
+
+And as if that wasn't enough, the [demo](demo.md) format sucks ass too. While demos in Doom only recorded the player's inputs -- the way it should always be done -- Quake demos literally store the player states such as their positions etc. It's basically a recording of packets coming from the [server](server.md) to the client. This means the demos are bigger, information about input is lost (causing trouble in verifying speedruns for example) and the demo is only playable from point of view it was recorded from. This desperate and disastrous design choice had to be made because the engine is nondeterministic. Here we can see how a bad programming choice quickly snowballs into a gigantic pile of shit.
+
+As for the **3D rendering**: this is probably the nicest part. The engine features a beautifully looking [software renderer](sw_rendering.md) that was very fast ([optimized](optimization.md) in [assembly](assembly.md)). It supported [256](256.md) [colors](color.md) and by default ran in 320x200 resolution that computers back then could handle at 30 FPS. Shortly after the game's release new versions added a support for [GPU](gpu.md) acceleration with [OpenGL](opengl.md), which was of course faster, additionally supported 16 and 32 bit color, higher resolution and pimped up look (transparent water, [bilinear](bilinear.md) texture filtering that actually looks inferior and soulless, ...). We'll be however focusing on the software renderer. It used [Gouraud](gouraud.md) [shading](shading.md) for moving objects and precomputed [lightmaps](lightmap.md) for static environment. Just like Doom, [BSP](bsp.md) trees were still used to represent levels, however in Quake they were 3D (while in Doom only 2D). The renderer worked as follows. First [frustum culling](frustum_culling.md) was performed on the BSP tree, removing anything not in the direction of the camera. Secondly there were precalculated potentially visible sets ([PVS](pvs.md)) -- a [data structure](data_structure.md) storing information about which BSP leaves are visible from other leaves, allowing for saving time by disregarding most parts of the level that can't be seen -- this was applied after frustum culling. Backface culling followed and then rasterization itself in front-to-back order. Rasterization was made so as to eliminate overdraw, it was quite complex, based on scanlines formed by projected geometry edges. As another improvements against the Doom engine there were simple [particle systems](particle_system.md) (well, literally just tiny squares) and fully 3D animated enemy models. Animated models used a MDL format which stored simple vertex animation (no skeletal bullshit) -- the frames were just played one after another without [interpolation](interpolation.md), resulting in a "jerky" animation.

 *"Those who don't know Unix are [doomed](doom.md) to reinvent it, poorly."* --obligatory quote by Henry Spencer
 
-Unix (plurar *Unixes* or *Unices*) is an [old](old.md) [operating system](operating_system.md) developed since 1960s as a research project of [Bell Labs](bell_labs.md), which has become one of the most influential pieces of software in history and whose principles (e.g. the [Unix philosophy](unix_philosophy.md), [everything is a file](everything_is_a_file.md), ...) live on in many so called  Unix-like operating systems such as [Linux](linux.md) and [BSD](bsd.md) (at least to some degree). The original system itself is no longer in use (it was later followed by a new project, [plan9](plan9.md), which itself is now pretty old), the name UNIX is nowadays a [trademark](trademark.md) and a certification. However, as someone once said, *Unix is not so much an operating system as a way of thinking*.

The original system itself is no longer in wide use (it was later followed by [plan9](plan9.md), a [project](projects.md) which by now is itself also pretty old), the name UNIX is currently a [trademark](trademark.md) and a certification. Nonetheless Unix is not significant for being a fossil operating system in a museum but rather as a concept, for as someone once said: *Unix is not so much an operating system as a way of thinking*.
 
-In one aspect Unix has reached the highest level a software can strive for: it has transcended its implementation and became a [de facto standard](de_facto_standard.md). This means it has become a set of interface conventions, "paradigms", [cultural](culture.md) and philosophical ideas rather than being a single system, it lives on as a concept that has many implementations. This is extremely important as we don't depend on any single Unix implementation but we have a great variety of choice between which we can switch without greater issues. This is very important for [freedom](freedom.md) -- it prevents monopolization -- and its one of the important reasons to use unix-like systems.
+In one aspect Unix has achieved the highest status a piece of software can strive for: it has transcended its implementation and became a [de facto standard](de_facto_standard.md). That is to say it became a set of interface conventions, programming principles, "[paradigms](paradigm.md)", [cultural](culture.md) and philosophical ideas rather than being a single system, a blob of 1s and 0s, it lives on as a concept that's being reimplemented, imitated and adopted to various degrees. This is remarkably important and puts Unix among the most significant terms in technological world, as we now don't depend on any single Unix implementation but instead have a choice of great variety of Unix systems which we can switch between without too much trouble, just like for example the [C](c.md) language (which was developed as part of Unix) is nowadays an abstract language enjoying many different implementations. This is invaluable as prerequisite for true technological [freedom](freedom.md), as freedom of choice prevents monopolization, and as a consequence stands as yet another argument for using Unix systems more.
 
 The main highlights of Unix are possibly these:
 
-- **[Unix philosophy](unix_philosophy.md)**: a kind of general mindset of software development, usually summed up as **"do one things well"** (rather than ["do everything but poorly"](windows_philosophy.md)) and "make programs work in collaboration with other programs", advising on using universal text interfaces for communication etc. This often comes with the idea of **[pipes](pipe.md)**, a way of chaining programs (typically using the pipe `|` operator, hence the name) by sending one program's output to other program's input.
-- **[everything is a file](everything_is_a_file.md)**: Unix chose to use the [file](file.md) abstraction to enable universal communication of programs with hardware and among themselves, i.e. on unices most things such as printing, reading keyboard, networking etc. will be likely implemented as reading or writing to/from some special (sometimes just virtual) file. This has the advantage of being able to just use some file reading library or syscall, not having to access physical memory bits in memory, which may be difficult, unsafe etc.
-- Text centrism (great [command line](cli.md) preference), value on [portability](portability.md) (even over performance), sharing of source code, freedom of information and openness, connection to [hacker culture](hacking.md), valuing human time over machine time, ...

-Unix is greatly connected to software [minimalism](minimalism.md), however most unices are still not minimalist to absolute extreme and many unix forks (e.g. [GNU](gnu.md)/[Linux](linux.md)) just abandon minimalism as a priority. So the question stands: **is Unix [LRS](lrs.md) or is it too [bloated](bloat.md)?** The answer to this will be similar to our stance towards the [C](c.md) language (which itself was developed alongside Unix); from our point of view Unix -- i.e. its concepts and some of their existing implementations -- is relatively good, there is a lot of wisdom to take away (e.g. "do one thing well", modularity, "use text interfaces", ...), however these are intermixed with things which under more strict minimalism we may want to abandon (e.g. multiple users, file permissions and ownership, also "everything is a file" requires we buy into the file [abstraction](abstraction.md) and will often also imply existence of a file system etc., which may be unnecessary, even multitasking could be dropped), so in some ways we see Unix as a temporary "[least evil](least_evil.md)" tool on our way to truly good, extremely minimalist technology. [DuskOS](duskos.md) is an example of operating system more close to the final idea of LRS. But for now Unix is very cool, some Unix-like systems are definitely a good choice nowadays.

 There is a semi humorous group called the *UNIX HATERS* that has a mailing list and a whole book that criticizes Unix, arguing that the systems that came before it were much better -- though it's mostly just [joking](jokes.md), they give some good points sometimes. It's like they are the biggest boomers for whom the Unix is what [Windows](windows.md) is to the Unix people.
 
 ## History
 
-In the 1960s, Bell Labs along with other groups were developing [Multics](multics.md), a kind of [operating system](os.md) -- however the project failed and was abandoned for its complexity and expensiveness of development. In 1969 two Multics developers, [Ken Thompson](key_thompson.md) and [Dennis Ritchie](dennis_ritchie.md), then started to create their own system, this time with a different philosophy; that of [simplicity](minimalism.md) (see [Unix philosophy](unix_philosophy.md)). They weren't alone in developing the system, a number of other hackers helped program such things as a file system, [shell](shell.md) and simple utility programs. At VCF East 2019 Thompson said that they developed Unix as a working system in three weeks. At this point Unix was written in [assembly](assembly.md).

At VCF East 2019 Thompson said that they developed Unix as a working system in three weeks. At this point Unix was written in [assembly](assembly.md).
 
 In the early 1970s the system got funding as well as its name Unix (a pun on Multix). By now Thompson and Richie were developing a new language for Unix which would eventually become the [C](c.md) language. In version 4 (1973) Unix was rewritten in C.

 PRO TIP: convenient features are often implemented, most useful ones include going through the history of previously typed commands with UP/DOWN keys and completing commands with the TAB key, which you'll find yourself using very frequently. Try it. It's enough to type just first few letters and then press tab, the command will be completed (at least as much as can be guessed).
 
-You run a utility simply by writing its name, for example typing `ls` will show you a list of files in your current directory. Very important is the `man` command that shows you a **manual page** for another command, e.g. typing `man ls` should display a page explaining the `ls` utility in detail. Short help for a utility can also usually be obtained by writing `-h` after it, for example `grep -h`.

-Unix utilities (and other programs) can also be invoked with **arguments** that specify more detail about what should be done. Arguments are written after the utility name and are separated by spaces (if the argument itself should contain space, it must be enclosed between double quotes, e.g.: `"abc def"` is a single arguments containing space, but `abc def` are two arguments). For example the `cd` (change directory) utility must be given the name of a directory to go to, e.g. `cd mydirectory`.

For example the `cd` (change directory) utility must be given the name of a directory to go to, e.g. `cd mydirectory`.
 
 Some arguments start with one or two minus characters (`-`), for example `-h` or `--help`. These are usually called **flags** and serve either to turn something on/off or to name other parameters. For example many utilities accept a `-s` flag which means "silent" and tells the utility to shut up and not write anything out. A flag oftentimes has a short and long form (the long one starting with two minus characters), so `-s` and `--silent` are the same thing. The other type of flag says what kind of argument the following argument is going to be -- for example a common one is `--output` (or `-o`)  with which we specify the name of the output file, so for instance running a C compiler may look like `c99 mysourcecode.c --output myprogram` (we tell the compiler to name the final program "myprogram"). Short flags can usually be combined like so: instead of `-a -b -c` we can write just `-abc`. Flags accepted by utilities along with their meaning are documented in the manual pages (see above).
