Interesting timing…I just finished John Romero’s book Doom Guy. It’s definitely worth the read if you grew up on id’s early games. Masters of Doom is also an excellent read.

BASIC is the scripting language used by Microsoft Office. Saying that it powers millions of businesses is probably not an exaggeration. Pascal, particularly the Delphi/Object Pascal flavor, is also still in widespread use today.

I think Microsoft QBasic in particular was the sweet spot. It was an easy to pick up language and runtime that was powerful enough to make real productivity applications and games. It shipped with 2 great demo games, Nibbles and Gorillas,

Windows 10 came out almost 10 years ago and they offered a free upgrade to Windows 11. I know people love to hate on Microsoft, but they’ve done better than most technology companies when it comes to security updates here. You’re lucky to

I prefer Xcode to Android Studio. It feels a bit snappier than JetBrains IDEs to me and I find the interface to be more intuitive. The iOS simulator outperforms the Android emulator and Gradle is by far the worst build system I’ve ever us

Flutter has a lot of issues, it is non-native everywhere, married to Dart which is an even more niche language than Swift, and can have noticeable lag. At least with Skip your app is completely native on iOS and uses Jetpack Compose on Andr

Several of the people participating in this are from Skip Tools, which is a product that enables developers to port apps written in Swift and SwiftUI to Android. I would imagine that it’s quite the opposite, and they are extremely enthusias

Casinos? Blackjack, roulette, craps, slot machines, poker, and many other games have long been used for gambling. Also sports betting has been a thing for nearly all of human civilization.

If you need 32 bit support, your best bets are going to be Windows or NetBSD. Most other OSes are phasing it out. Windows can't kill 32 bit support because even today a significant amount of software for the platform still depends on

We’ll have to agree to disagree. As a recent job seeker, I had to have a LinkedIn profile, a resume, and fill out application forms all containing redundant information. The resume import functionality was extremely hit or miss…sometimes

It wouldn’t have to be mandatory. You’re always free to fill out the information yourself. I picked LinkedIn as an example because many (most?) job applicants have an account with them and it has most of the relevant information already, s

Good. It is a terrible way to screen job applicants and a waste of time for them to carefully craft a resume and then have to put all the exact same information into an online job application form. Good riddance, they have long been obsole
